I'm about to switch to Linux from my 2010 MBP (which is still basically working) and my main motivation is exactly the fact that "Just Works" no longer applies to MacBooks. My £2800 company MBP has half-broken USB-C ports, ma

I wonder if there's a demonstrable correlation between level of police funding and support for such initiatives. In the UK's public sector there is definitely a strong drive for automation, but it does kind of coincide with auster

This is kind of similar to how the USSR industrialised in the 1930s. Western nations were simply stunned at the rate of change, and while we now know it was underscored by unspeakable atrocities, it still applies that such a tightly control

They've been in continuous use in Bratislava since the 1940s, and they also have the hybrid ones. They're especially suitable for steep slopes where rail-based transport doesn't work. Absolutely iconic vehicles!

I think the reason why a lot of this stuff is being called "Kremlin Propaganda" is that real Kremlin propaganda isn't really propaganda anymore. It's not necessarily coming from an evil troll factory in an imposing Peter

This is very interesting! In film production, it is also a common rule of thumb that you film about 10 times more footage than you end up using.

well that's precisely why the discussion is open – Apple can come in with their (arguably selfish) ideas, but they can't impose them on other big players such as MS, Google and Mozilla. In an ideal world this prevents the final co

it's an easy way to filter out odd/even numbers. `n % m` means "divide `n` by `m` and return the remainder". If you divide any even number by 2, the remainder is always 0, if you divide an odd number, it's always 1.

It does now (ES2015 modules) but it was standardized too late, so people created their own solutions, and now it's super hard to implement the standard over them. That's why nodejs isn't transitioning to ES2015 modules anytim

not sure about the US, but in Europe you often have people begging on streets who are actually working for a group of (often foreign) criminals, who then collect the money and maybe provide the beggars with modest shelter/protection. T

Oh yes, totally forgot about flash and `<map>`s – but one could argue even those were originally designed to solve the problems of 'vanilla' HTML. They of course failed and HTML kind of prevailed, but only by being coupled w

Sure, but 100% unstyled HTML was extremely rare even in the 90s. The problem with everyone writing their own crap HTML is that the sites become terrible and unusable, because they lack good design. What platforms like Twitter/FB initia

Subtle but powerful Russian interference on social networks and media of Western countries is a thing whether we like it or not. I'm skeptical of how much that's true for the US, but in Europe it's ubiquitous and there's

I'm skeptical as to how worthwhile your effort is as long as the outcome is just another alternative to FB. We've seen countless examples of how these alt-social nets failed. But I do see a lot of value in the tech you might be de

To be honest I wouldn't mind switching to MIT. Let me know if you want to use it and I can relicense, no problem. Regarding lagginess, that should be a little bit better in the latest commit on master – it was because of the adaptive f
