I have a work VM with a stripped out i3 that can't create new terminals other than a startup terminal with tmux (which calls shutdown now on EOF); and it can still do basic interaction with other new windows. This reduces problems with

It's staggering! I just compared with traffic accident fatalities in 2017 and it's 40,200 (according to [1]). It hadn't occurred to me that drugs were a bigger killer than traffic accidents. Now maybe there's a big overl

There's no reason for a human to be as good as the machine, even though it seems like a very human task. Maybe you can use the results as input to get better at that task yourself?

My counter argument would be that with a good shell line editor like zsh in vi mode command transformations are as cheap as modular grammar; however I know there's limits to that argument (Java is only writeable in Java IDEs) so I&#x27

That I understood; I am talking specifically about the fee described previously. That is clearly to cover costs for the service and I don't see why that would be returned even partially to the holders.

Maybe that commenter is using the same logic that distributing guns to anybody is fine, misusing guns is a personal failing.

What easy-to-reckon category do you assign the vast swathes of youths who might occasionally be easily convinced to take or buy drugs from strangers in the street?

I wish there was an equivalent of CI and peer-reviewed pull-requested contribution to their system, to ease collaborative improvement to the methods. You'd really want many sets of eyes able to look at all aspects of the drugs to vastl

For any power of two m, then for any range size n (with m/2 < n <= m), the probability of rejection is (m-n)/m. If any n is equally probable, then the average rejection is equal to the rejection of the average n (= 3*m/

Off the top of my head, for a randomly chosen range of size n, you reject a throw with probability 1/4, right?

FORTRAN code requires no space (to save space on punchcards) ; it seems an appropriate similitude between protohistoric languages.

These wall designs are really surprising; I would expect bad designs to come from difficulty of implementing data collection management, not the wall UX. Just imagine you're a user seeing this, do you not feel antagonized?

Is there any public research about the inverse correlation between framerate and nausea? If there is a perceptible one in that range, it would mean that higher framerate does make a difference, even without being aware of it. This would onl

I think that the single search box with consistent UX is the killer feature. Subscription is too, in another way. Alternatives need to address these; I believe federated video services / toobs are the only way to aim for the first. Sub

I strongly agree with the sentiment. It would be wonderful to be able to plug GUIs on top of an editor of your choice (kak, (neo)vim, emacs, nano, sublime, notepad++). It seems a very tough (if not impossible?) problem describing the GUI&#x

I agree that's a problem with the glider image, but that's the issue I had with railroads as well—there's much more freedom than what is shown here; railroads can go multiple ways, join in various orders etc. What I mean is o

by jgtrosh 8y ago
I think that this uses a very specific model which can be represented with railroads, but also any other 1-way system. For example, you could say it's like hanging from a glider where you travel in a happy path, or can fall down at any

It calls to mind Fortran-style function docs which would give a formula to compute the size of a work array for the caller to provide. That really ties the implementation to the header. It was really boring to work with, though it often pus
