If their own public API hasn't changed, why would semver require that?

Cynically it can be seen as part of the war on introversion. Consultancies rebadged introverts as having a "fixed mindset" and extroverts as having a "growth mindset" and then labelled having a fixed mindset as a terribl

That's not startup speak it's "business consultancy" speak and the UK goverment loves to hire business consultants to tell the uk civil service how to work.

How much did you have to spend for all those typos? I'm assuming less than $35,000, given you were pleased with the 5k extra visitors across the typo domains.

Yes, this doesn't really add up, it's not like a tweet that's gone viral will keep going around, it's safe to say that nearly all the clicks it generated were in the past. It did however let them write this blog post and

I just looked to fact check this, and all the sources I can find says the patient died of pneumonia, not heart failure and that the heart didn't fail and continued to work up until death. So no, the first transplant didn't "f

That follows the spec: > the sender SHOULD generate its field value as the best available approximation of the date and time of message generation It's message generation date, not resource date.

Ten years is long enough to inspire the next generation to make zach-like games. Games like Signal State or Turing Complete. But it's a sad goodbye to Zachtronics. They have a certain style of layering story to take you out of the raw

Uncensorable money is demonstrably a bad thing, precisely because ransomware is indeed bitcoin's "killer app". It's the only thing novel to come out of the cryptosphere.

This was always the x-plane way. I had x-plane 5 and had tons of fun flying it and because of that bought x-plane 6 and it just wasn't as fun to fly because they put so much effort into getting the flight models "more accurate&quo

I think I worded it badly, I meant that if depreciation is high then you wouldn't want to turn it off because you'd want to mine as much as possible while it was still worth something. So I meant the depreciation would need to be

I don't think you need any nefarious interests to push it into instability, just the basic economic assumption of greed suggests that people would only want to mine the "easy weeks" and not mine the "hard weeks". No

It corrects every N blocks (1180?), iirc around once a week. But, and correct me if I'm wrong, there is't much damping in the correction. This means that if 50% of miners pull out, then it'll be longer before the correction.

Absolutely, I've always held karma both on here and reddit as a resource that is to be spent when needed. That's not to say, "be an arsehole" or go against ToS, but definitely it's made me willing to stand my ground

You're right, the maths simplifies it a lot. I rushed out a one-liner without much analysis, and eventually come to the same conclusion. There's no Range method that takes (start, stop, step) but it's trivial enough to write

This is a silly argument, you're asking for a literal translation of a pythonic problem without allowing the idioms from the other languages. If you were actually trying to solve the problem in dotnet, you'd almost certainly struc

The ToArray is unneccessay, it's much more idiomatic dotnet to deal with IEnumerable all the way through. The only meaningful difference in lengths is that C# doesn't have an Enumable.Range(start, stop, increment) overload but it&

It's not "twice as long" in any syntactic sense, and readability is easily fixed: Enumerable.Range(1,50) .Where(e => e % 4 == 0 && e % 3 == 0) .Skip(1) .Select(e => e + 1) That&

Here's a one liner in c# for that: Enumerable.Range(1,50).Where((x,i) => i % 4 == 0).Where(e => e % 3 == 0).Skip(1).Select(e => e+4) Okay, so you might consider that last e+4 cheating and against the spirit, but I c

That may be true, but here's some context to that: https://imgur.com/a/6le18xj The blue line (reddit) does indeed keep going up. But it's barely noticable compared to the red (facebook).

Bit odd to shorten the future tense "to be built" in the article to the past tense "built" in the headline. Also, "largest built in the US since the 1930s" really isn't saying too much, how much manufactur
