   I ran into so possible reason recently. Because Linux is case sensitive. So if you're making server software locally you can easily run into a bug where you reference "SomeFile" in your build/package/website locally

   I recently got a Sony Bravia 4k hdr running Android TV. I would have preferred a dumb TV but I've been plesently surprised so far. it's got Chromecast built in which has been great at my last party (would like to know how to bridg

   Disqus = paste some markup in your page and done Discourse = set up at least a 2gig server then figure out how to integrate with your site. On that level they aren't really comparible.

   Actually the full version uses more data, it turns out vectors take more data than jpeg tiles, at lease for urban areas. The big differences excluding 3d features are things like * you can rotate the map * zoom is continuous * the map can b

   Is there any work on a solution for IoT or other end user programs/devices that would benefit from being able to serve HTTPS instead of HTTP?

   They don't get them in Japan either as companies go out of business.

   Expats often have "I'm not Japanese" as an excuse and a lower expectation of conformance. To be clear this is not just a company issue it's a cultural issue. If the company does not have a policy of "go home at 6pm&

   Amazon does it different in Japan. They put items on a stiff piece of cardboard the same size as the box they will eventually put it in. Then shrink wrap the items and the cardboard. Then they glue / rubber cement the bottom of the car

    hg's original workflow didn't encourage git style branches at all nor did it have any kind of stage IIRC. They've since been optionally added. Is that workflow in hg more intuitive or is only its far less powerful original wo

    I thought the Fermi Paradox suggested otherwise. Well, it suggests if life is common then some other civilization should have easily covered then entire milky way in slow self replicating drones long ago. That fact that we dont find drones

    If we could ever scan your neurons and determine data from them would you be ok with that? While I can't imagine them pulling out whole thoughts I can imagine them extracting phone numbers as an example. Sure that might be 100-200-500

    My impression is money gets more important as you get older because your ability to get other people to give it to you for work goes way down and your medical expenses go way up. At least that's what I've seen in my family

    I feel like I prefer solar (musk style) because there isn't one point of failure. If the power plant fails tons of people lose power.

    You can be proactive in getting these kinds of issues fixed. Make a small repo and submit it to the webgl conformance tests. https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL There are already something like 2500 tests

    As someone that's also written hundreds of thousands of lines of assembly with macros I don't really see the comparison. Lisp macros are written in lisp itself. You can create complicated data structures, interate over loops, do f

    For me it would really depend on how rich and what you define as work. There are lots of projects I would like to fund, supervise, produce, etc that with 10s of millions in the bank I would. I think I'd end up pretty busy.

    Is it? You can sell your old one so it probably works out to a fairly small premium to always get the latest than to say upgrade every 3-4 years and for that premium you always have a new machine

    THREE.js is awesome but it is not WebGL. It's a 3D Library that happens to use WebGL (and can use other backends as well). If you want to learn WebGL itself try http://webglfundamentals.org If you just want to get 3D on you

    That doesn't fit my understanding of the law. Do you have references? The law has this concept of "duty of loyalty" which basically says by being an employee you are promising to do what's best for the company. As one ex

    Pull to refresh is an anti-feature IMO. It makes me lose work all the time. I'm entering something. I need to reference something else off the screen. I drag down to see the thing off the screen. I pull too hard and ... the page is ref

    by greggman 10y ago

    I'm not saying that didn't happen but it makes zero sense. The user chooses a destination and the app tracks where the driver is so it's reasonable to assume if the driver got within 100 meters of the destination the ride end

    three.js doesn't have 1/50th the features of unity. three.js is great and ive contributed to it but a game engine is a lot more than just a renderer.
