Mine are 1) Xmodmap support/migration 2) breaking imagemagick's import (screenshotting) making my shortcut for OCR'ing text on the screen break. It seems Wayland isn't going to be the default in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, but if

Re (5), I rather feel that the quality of the documentation and communication around modern C++ puts everything else to shame. If you knew java or python in 2009, how are you supposed to quickly catch up with 2019? (Rust also seems to have

Yeah, I wouldn't put anything under a "GPL or any later version" for the time being.

What would be the force actually shutting the capillaries, if the veins themselves aren't collapsing? The upper part of a siphon still has internal pressure, just less than at its base.

Does high G actually cause a higher or lower blood pressure at heart level? (search engines fail to give an answer) I think the problem there is blood packing to the lower body, and a sauropod would have enough blood and strong enough veins

Or is it? It seems to me simply outlawing both asking and disclosing would deter these problems well enough.

Seems rather similar to the strong_password case from a month back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20377136 . I wonder if anyone has checked basic things like scanning all of rubygems for "pastebin" or &quot

I suspect it's simply that most jew-hating etc. jokes are unmotivated unless you hate jews. If you don't hate jews you find the jokes unfunny and tedious and stop browsing, and if you do you join in. The origins of 8/4chan ba

We are able to report our own consciousness, so it obviously has "classically" physical effects that can be measured.

It was fashionable long before that. IIRC Mint had an embarrassing start being advertised as particularly secure (great for online banking!!) despite not really offering anything good in that department.

Another complication not mentioned in the tweets is consonant gradation, in which the stem changes in dozens of ways when suffixed (examples: http://users.jyu.fi/~pamakine/kieli/suomi/vaihtelu/astevaiht..

That struggles to explain how fertility rates have ever dropped. For higher fertility you would need stronger biologic instincts, the present lack of which suggests they would conflict with something else important for viability, a high &qu

Censorship resistance is illusory without any anonymity. It'd make me a little sad if anyone gets into IPFS because of its censorship resistance when freenet and tor hidden services already exist. The central third party is preferable

I've been wondering that too. There isn't much allure to it beyond "our hosting/CDN will be cheaper if we let the customers pay for it". If anything it weakens privacy a little, since any mean-spirited gremlin gets

I can't resist rambling about what kind of a language /I/ would create: 1) The native consonants of Finnish (h j k l m n p r s t v ng/ŋ) and the vowels of Arabic (a u i), as a compromise between not having too many sound

Bland neuroticism makes itself viral. The threads are easy to come up with and everyone can chip in. The OP gets an anonymous confessional and the rest get to feel better about themselves. Those kinds of forums are top results because they

I have always found that is conflating the semantics of using with the method of passing . Even with/out aliases you are still passing a reference.

Doesn't the post stumble over right in the second section? "It is not possible to create a Go program where two variables share the same storage location in memory". So what? The C example didn't show that either.

What society tolerates in political discourse has much more to do with this than any quirks of the brain. Politics drags objectivity through the mud.

I'm not convinced of the effect, especially in the context of single mothers and divorce. Welfare would seem to decrease the incentive to divorce an unemployed husband. I've also seen claims that just 100-150 years ago a lower pro

Sweden had already shrunk their military in recognition of these things. The problem is they overshot, and can't recruit enough volunteers to maintain even a tiny force.
