I use ublock origin with scripts and large media blocked by default (which makes sites load faster, like AMP is supposed to as well). For some sites, depending on their purpose, it would be unreasonable to expect them to not use JavaScript.

Thanks for not driving. An obvious observation: Individual change and collective change are not mutually exclusive, so I think the choice between them is a bit of a false dilemma. To pick an extreme example: Me not stabbing anyone is not e

You forgot IRC :-) Pidgin has extensions[0] available for all of those except for Jami. One messenger app to rule them all. [0]: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins

Jami works without a smartphone. I know it may seem unusual, but there are people who want to occasionally video chat using a laptop (which you can only do with Signal Desktop as long as you also have a smartphone ). If not for that sill

If we're that pedantic, then any visual representation of plain text is also "graphical".

Once XFCE is ported to GTK3, it should be Wayland-compatible, but for now Xubuntu still depends on X.

Well, that's good! Might give Brave a spin then. Just curious, what exact sentence(s) from the above links to the Brave website do you see contradicting this claim about "shadow wallets"? (if that's the correct wording)

Well, I think many programming keywords have a form of meaning that you need extra context to understand . How would I intuitively could guess what 'public static void' was, withing having any idea about OO or Java? I mean, &#x27

I feel like mpv is the vim of video players: minimalist keyboard-oriented interface. I prefer it over VLC, but wouldn't recommend it to non-techies. I think it's fine to compare projects when going beyond "which one is the be

Yup. Magic integers are bad for readability. So are "magic phrases", like public static void . I think the readability of Pd is horrible, but the question was whether it was human readable at all.

I guess only Miller Puckette can provide an answer about the intention . It also depends what we consider human readable : Does it mean that some or many or most humans can read it? It's a custom plain text format[0] that is pe

by hjek 7y ago
Yes, looks like SQL got that right as well. I think Prolog is the answer to the question: What if the full stack was relational; not just the database?
295.
by hjek 7y ago
Cool! That's actually really close to the Prolog version.

by hjek 7y ago
Brilliant! Cool to see the two paradigms side-by-side. If there was a similar puzzle that had more than one solution, would it be straight-forward to do that using for loops as well in Python? (Curious if you can do backtracking that way)

Hey, this is good practice! First we can load the csv library, then read the rows of the csv file, and assert those rows as facts using the `car` identifier. (Doesn't mean `car` like in lisp, obviously, but automobile .) ?- [lib

PG does indeed use a lot of mutation in his Arc code. "Karma" on `vote-for` on HN is just incremented like this: (++ (karma i!by) (case dir up 1 down -1)) At first this looks nice and simple, but when you have to write `u

I haven't used Prolog at that scale myself, but I'll just add completely unsubstantiated hearsay from the ##Prolog IRC on FreeNode: Someone reported no problems using SWI Prolog for running queries on "59 million facts".
