Well, XeLaTeX is what you want to use TTF/OTF while preserving TeX compatibility. It's very stable; I use it for my word processing. As I see it, there are three major issues with TeX: 1. It's very difficult to compose comman

Leave your phone in the car. Also your smart watch, i guess.

Yea but cameras won't show them what you bought last week, your credit, your social network, your criminal records. Man the possibilities for fascism only get more and more exciting for future dictators.

> Sometimes "strong typing" means that there are no holes in the type system: no datum is being misused if there are no diagnostics about type. I have never heard this. I do, however, use "sound" and "soundness&q

I thought laptop batteries are also a bunch of phone batteries stuck together. Is that assumption incorrect? Edit: apparently so.... I would appreciate a reply if anyone has time. I have a difficult time figuring out what about my question

I'd rather have the choice myself—after all, it is incredibly unlikely your phone would actually catch fire.

Note, I think in spite of being in stage 3 the syntax and obvious cases seem to be largely unlikely to change. It certainly improves react quite a bit: you can define the proptypes and default values inside the class rather than after.

While it may be simpler, it also removes any safety that rust adds. I'd imagine you'd get more mileage out of just using pointers and unsafe blocks liberally to get lifetime checking where you can.

Iirc they are also calmed by moving, so it's not quite as scary as it sounds.

I'd call it a play on words, but it's not a pun—only a single meaning is possible here.

Right, even a ball to the head can cause CTE. It almost seems like playing with heavy padding, helmets, etc has caused more injuries by encouraging players to deal and take this small injuries.

Well, the ads going away is easily visible. I wouldn't stop blocking though; they most definitely continue to track.

Not to mention you can pay to get the ads to go away and block anything that remains.

Is that considered bribery in china? Is it illegal?

I mean, is this so bad? It also implies novel communities are forming elsewhere; perhaps you're viewing this from a perspective on the past when the one on the future may be more relevant. I say this as someone who hates AirBnB and hig

Well it's a web of trust: typically people only trust their Gemfile, not their entire Gemfile.lock. If you audit the latter you should be fine (though of course you should upgrade regardless).

Unless it's some trusted hardware with key verification, i'm finding it hard to believe this. Surely this can be reverse engineered. Besides, I imagine they make most of their money off people who don't realize this is an opt

Xcode is best for things like managing certs, not actually working in. The intellij version is pretty good; it integrates well with the build system and debugger. I find it curious you bring up Expo as i've found that is the most opaqu

It's not on me that clicks are considered meaningful—that's the site owner's problem.

Then they should allow an http header saying "if you're going to serve ads, don't bother, i'd rather look at nothing".

by fish_fan 9y ago
No, i'm punishing you for only providing ads as a form of payment. Or in the new york times case, for getting ads in spite of paying. Ads are a fucking poison; i will do anything i can to destroy them.

by fish_fan 9y ago
This is true; however, some people (me included) think that the harm ads do outweighs the benefits of free services.

They entangle next to each other, and they move apart at max the speed of light. you'll have already paid the price for transferring that bit, so to speak. Information cannot move faster than the speed of light, period.

Well, non-type safety isn't really worth discussing. The big differentiators these days are: does it fail at compile time or run time? This is emphatically the latter category.

Frankly I don't see any long term benefits of a self-driving car company to the local community. If they're willing to invest that's one thing; otherwise, they jack up prices and force out locals. This is just gentrification
