You can get around all of this by being a "mindful consumer" - if you don't like how products are, don't use them. It's like a weak version of being Amish. Buy old better stuff - it's cheaper and better for the

How much of the value in DnD is the specific taxonomy of names?

Yes, I would like that. It's nice to have a place to record negative experiences in a way that might contribute to a positive outcome eventually. Some of the best (and most verboten) content will come, of course, from insiders. One iss

Maybe there is a sense in which this is an awkward transition period to fully autonomous vehicles. Because you're right, most of us don't want to pay attention to the road, which is boring. However, we don't know the risk&#x2

If your car doesn't have any internet connected software, then there is no mechanism to make a feature artificially scarce, requiring you to pay money on an on-going basis to remove the artificial limit. People may have sold subscripti

Assuming people take the canary seriously, this is an interesting case where deleting one file is equivalent to shutting down the company.

>Not sure why you got downvoted Me neither! Discovery vs requirement is a really cool idea (if I do say so myself) which deserves a longer treatment. Glad you like it.

Well yeah but it's not interesting . It's like saying there's a whole new kind of tire - that is 13.5" wide unlike the 13" tires we're used to. Useful? Yes. interesting? No.

It's not a bad habit, you just haven't discovered a way to integrate the information in a way that produces good output for you. E.g. something like a Zettlekasten. Also, its not ADHD, its preparedness. There is a fundamental tens

Yeah but the AMQ70 is way better on the z90. If only it implemented the UTY23 spec! But that's why they made a EW model, I guess.

Great question, as I've started running a home server (and gaming computer) recently. A corollary: what anti-malware software do peeps use now on Windows? I'm interested in both prevention and cleanup.

Oh, I don't blame you. If I thought well of cops I'd feel the same way. That positive feeling is to be cherished and protected, because one day it may protect you. Or, you know, you might get unlucky and get swatted by accident, o

Power is corrupting, and police have a de facto shit-ton of real, immediate power over everyone in their vicinity. They have a "martial law bubble" around them that allows them to physically assault you, put you in jail, and upe

TS is probably as good as transpilers get. It really is quite good. I like that it maps one ts file into one js file and creates readable code (although output is normally bundled so readability is lost). I like that ts aids dev discovery i

Maybe. I think of it as an experiment. You may be right. It may also be that the potential of raw javascript hasn't been fully explored. That's my hypothesis. I don't think jquery was the best it could do. Time will tell who

Believe it or not, using libraries, compiled or otherwise, is not a requirement of either the HTML or Javascript specifications! The single biggest benefit of front-end builds is modularization; however browsers support that natively now (e

JavaScript is the only language in which you can write a program and distribute to every device in the world, today, cheaply and reliably. (technically this is an exaggeration - not everything has a browser. but you get the point.)

by javajosh 4y ago
The browser itself performs a kind of build step. It happens per script tag, and you can catch "compilation errors" in your own code using window.onerror if you want to.

>Why is the JavaScript ecosystem like this? Because it's the product of a collaboration between ~1M beginner programmers, 100k intermediates, and 10k experts. Because the language and runtime are "mushy" - aka "unde

The fact that you need to apologize and explain why you care about issues that might affect men is telling in and of itself. The American Zeitgeist around gender issues is distorted to dehumanize men and alienate anyone who even dares to re

I'm not a big fan of jargon either, but if you clicked on one of those links, you'd see that it stands for DNS over HTTP or DNS over Tor.

To me, that's actually a really cool part of this. I bet a lot of people who've done shrooms at parties and casually don't really understand it or what it can do for you. But the experience really can be enhanced and useful w

How do you ensure that you don't amplify the wrong sample? That would seem to be the crux of the matter, especially for a sample from a fingerprint. Seems like most of the time you'll end up sequencing non-human DNA, given the dis
