When you can't replace the emulation target with the emulator, it stops being an emulator.

The concept of someone between a child and an adult occurs in other languages as well. All of the languages I know have it (which is not necessarily many).

The difference between the words emulate and simulate are difficult to grasp for me. One comes from the latin `aemulus` and the other from `similis`. One talks about imitation and the other about similarity. When people discuss the differen

They did use aggressive popup ads via click-hijacking. So they were monetizing at least to some extent. Unfortunately for them, most people torrenting probably use ad protection.

That's a good question, but the answers are somewhat sad. I see the other commenters saying it's not about the search, but about the curation. Curation or identification (as in, "who's the author?") is essential, bu

It is surprising that, while it's obvious that the website was built carefully, it didn't occur to the author to articulate the rationale for this whole campaign. I suppose in the author's mind, this site's audience are

This reminds me of when Apple tried to make it so that you can't own an iPhone, only lease it. The effort might be still ongoing, I'm not up to date. A few different turns in history and your sentence would have been "THEIR m

That's the most facile explanation, but it's also the most boring one. It's always easier to say that something doesn't have meaning, function, or design, rather than to say that you don't know what it is.

I said more than an hour. I think an hour on a bike is something most people can stomach easily, but it gets annoying fast once you go above that.

10k km a year on a bike means riding it for more than an hour every workday. Not a lot of people willing to do that, i think. If that were truly the breakeven distance (i know you didn't really say that) ebikes would be screwed in term

Are you going to take the same stance with your kids and tobacco or alcohol? Why not see what's the problem for them first instead of pretending pretending we know better? Come on. Regulating social media exposure is somewhere between

That's what the article said. Mortgage debt can be a proxy for privilege, while consumer debt can be a proxy for need.

We might do well to add to the script a more in-depth explanation of why elevated privileges are needed. We did take care to not run the whole script as sudo, but only parts of it (always read a script before giving it privileges!). So elev

I'm on Mathesar's backend team (hi Sean!) and I love types. It's actually a controversial topic amongst us (as might be gleaned from the discussion linked in above comment). I'd say we've come down to using a reduce

That's accurate! Another bottleneck we have is Mathesar-level state management. We keep some state to reduce redundant Postgres queries. During most of development we focused on single-database use cases, but for the demo we had to exp

To add to what Pavish said, reads are always safe, so you can examine, monitor, make reports and what we call Explorations (our user-friendly spin on Postgres views) of your data without worries. When it comes to adding data and updating it

Thanks for the link. It's a pretty hard read, I wish the author would have done some editing. It's unstructured speech interspersed with cursing. I only skimmed it, but might come back to it in the future. If Lazar is lying though

A meme is a unit of cultural information or a unit of imitation. When you call something more than a meme, as weird as it is, you're pretty much saying that it's not a cultural, but a hereditery piece of information (a gene). Call

Why is crashing useful for stability? You say that it's good that a program crashes on a fatal error, but that's sort of backwards: any error that crashes the program is fatal by definition (that's what fatal means). I'm
