The only thing that renders in Lynx is an RSS link. So I have no idea what this is, but it's not accessible. Edit: Just viewed source and wish I could unsee it. Meteor.js :/

Sorry, Han glyphs render the same in Chinese and Japanese. Regarding simplified versus traditional, no one is seriously unifying those. There's some minor disagreements as to when a minor stylistic or historical variant deserves a sepa

Okay, how would you do it? If you want bidirectional mixed language support, you're not going to get around implementing bidi rendering at some layer. Character encoding is not that layer. You are making legitimate complaints, but they

You don't determine language based on codepage. I give you ASCII text; what language is it?

I don't use gmail, and that's how I've set up procmail custom filters with spamassassin for nearly the past decade. The nearly certain spam is delivered to /dev/null. The very likely spam is delivered to Junk.

Very unlikely. The USA sugar policy is older than the corn policy, why would trade with Cuba change that just because it's one of their agricultural products? Cuba is not even in the top ten cane producers, and more to the point, the U

Glassdoor isn't a great microscope. Do you notice "6 samples" for "Researcher Phd"? And how many of them are doing research relevant to the software industry? Also, the "Software Engineer I" is not reflect

Honestly, this seems to me like a case study in getting carried away by cloud. There's a very strong case for cloud hosting when you have a clear need for elasticity and an distributed application to leverage it. Here, you have your en

You have it backwards. With regards to the US at least, in research, whether it's big company IR&D, government contracts, university or government labs, a Ph.D. opens the door to being hired directly as senior scientist and advance

I was refering to WaPo, as there weren't any comments here yet. Predictably they are not a whole lot better here though.

You know that most newspapers are written to a 12-year-old reading level, and staff journalists are copyedited too?

Wow, nice find. The dismissive contempt half of the commenters have for the 12-year-old girl who meticulously researched and wrote this article is appalling but not surprising.

No it wouldn't work! Hashes do not defy information theory, they lose information. Such brute forcing would only find hash collisions and "decompress" to a different text than the original.

Cathode is objectively much better than cool-retro-term, which while cool, is just not nearly as good. I use both. It was well worth my $5 to support the author of this project. Cathode was also first and cool-retro-term is at least arguabl

Actually, it's not automation, it's delegation. Take away the SMS and this system has existed since feudal times going back to antiquity.

Did you bother to read what I was replying to? The point in question was the risks of holding BTC versus national currencies.

Right, the Argentina straw man. Worst inflation example you can find is the Argentina peso, and it's lost 10% in a year where the bitcoin dropped 63%, and bitcoin's volatility over the same time period has been much, much higher.

Indeed. Lea writes a cogent article about a pervasive problem of sexism and hostility to women in education and industry and her personal experiences with it. From a thousand yards, a few of her individual examples seem that they might be a
