I found that it was the case compared to other alternatives for large scale corporate messaging. Genuinely curious what would you recommend? I did try IRC a few times, but I really value a centralized searchable log of messages.

I was curious to see if Norway really did that so I looked it up: they didn't, they banned it on government devices, which makes sense to me.

I was expecting a lot when they announced video-conferencing, given that the app itself is well-designed and performs generally great. But when I finally got to try it it crashed the app, and never really worked ever since. Such a shame, I&

It wasn't something subtle with room for interpretation, but outwards intolerance (not just racism) from the people themselves. It's generally passed off as a joke (ie. saying don't blow it up or don't steal anything jok

I want Europe to succeed and that's why I'm staying here, but I have to agree that the racism situation in France is really bad. It's the main reason I won't work for a company here.

Isn't this similar to McDonald's point system? Workers get points as they work, different menu items cost a certain amount of points. They have to use all points (and eat their terrible food) before a certain period, else they los

I immediately sent this to my tetraplegic brother in-law. He cannot move his fingers so he uses a special device to precisely point on a touchscreen using his fist. It makes sense to me: other than the fingers, the tongue is probably the mo

Both are very similar and have a lot of parallels, enough that I generally call what humans do "kind of Fourier Transform", but "convolution of roughly sinusoidal wavelets" is definitely more correct. For example, you ca

Any changes in waveforms that are not smooth can cause percussive sounds (that's what percussions are). Playing audio suddenly causes a pop, and changing audio levels abruptly causes a weird zipper sound (the sound of a thousand MIDI d

A lot of modern sport cars are currently going up in value because new cars are either unavailable in the short term or not satisfying enough to the car enthusiast crowd.

It would remove the benefit of running on Go. It would be less efficient than v8 + libuv because your TypeScript on Golang runtime wouldn't be as fast as v8 + JIT to run the application code which is now written in a language built for

No, the Go threading runtime is fundamentally incompatible with JavaScript's event-loop model. TypeScript does not define runtime semantics, JavaScript does, and it's built to run in a single-threaded environment. You cannot use i
