Please show what the actual accusations of espionage are in that article - because I don't see any.

They do not. The width and height attributes we have been discussing set the size that the image will be displayed at , which are not necessarily the size of the image transferred. Those are two very different things. My statement holds -

Removing the dimensions from the image tags is absolutely the wrong thing to do. If you do this, then a browser/user/client that wants that information simply doesn't have it - you can't create bits from thin air. If you

The batch-processing tools I wrote (e.g. a simulator) had CLI shims that called the same interesting functions that you would at the REPL. The interactive tools I wrote all had functions that acted as a zero-effort entry point anyway, so th

False. The NSA has never been shown to (or even suspected of) commit intellectual property theft, which is what several of the above incidents are.

Why would Apple invest in third-party toolchains? Aren't they incentivized to only support Xcode, Swift, and other tools that are as tightly bound to their ecosystem as possible?

That's not the definition of "need" that GP was using...

Huh, I haven't heard anybody say anything remotely like this, and I have friends from not only the two big parties, but also a few of the smaller ones, too...

How is your comment at all related to the linked project? It literally just attempts to determine how brightly-lit the physical area is and uses that to plan a walking route.

"Dipshits" is an incredibly rude way to describe people who are most likely just ignorant.

This is very vague. What exactly do you mean by "computer illiterate" - do you mean someone who isn't a power user, or someone who can't program?

Please actually read my comment before responding to it - I relaxed my statement to not claim that "ergonomic" was a Boolean value, so I'm not sure why you're still acting as though I am holding that position. > even

Alright, my statement was too broad. Let me be more precise: "Ortholinearity is an important ergonomic feature that any keyboard that claims to be both "ultimate" and "ergonomic" absolutely must have." > I h

by fouric 6y ago
Replace "purely" with "mostly", if you want to be pedantic. Even if ortholinear keyboards don't completely eliminate lateral motion, there's still a rather large reduction in it - which is what matters.

by fouric 6y ago
No concavity? Staggered rows? No thumb clusters? Calling this "ultimate" and "ergonomic" is a joke.
561.
by fouric 6y ago
Yes, and that's why they're not ergonomic.

by fouric 6y ago
Purely medial movement of the fingers (which is more ergonomic) as opposed to the lateral motions that fingers have to make for a staggered-row keyboard.

Again, I've never seen this distinction made before. Please show me a body of literature that claims that dynamically typed languages do not have a type system - your claims on their own do not convince me.

Taking hierarchical notes in vim conflates content with presentation/representation, which is bad.

Are you talking about Microsoft/Windows or Google/Chrome OS here? They're both Big Players, and both trying/would try to take over/appropriate the Raspberry Pi platform.
