That's deliberate. It's the Switter posts, like Twitter, but, well, you get it.

Sorry for posting it prematurely. I was excited to see this. I didn't think it would die under HN load.

The computer system allows you to remove or add pretty much any ingredient. I haven't been able to stump it yet with a customisation request.

I find this pretty nice in D. You add unittest{} blocks which you compile into or out of your binary with a compiler flag. If you add some appropriately formatted comments, ddoc also turns those into docstrings with the test as example usag

It's really grinding when the top comments of any sort of alternative thing to come out are always so negative. Long list of reasons why this will never work out. It's easy to be negative. It's more difficult but more fun to

So how about a situation in which the trick doesn't work? I think an integrand with some singularities might do it. Some variation where the integrand ends up being x^3y/(x^2 + y^2)^2 should do it.

I was confused about the title because I have an X1 Carbon that I bought in 2018. Turns out it's 5th gen. And yes, it's one of the most blissful computing experiences I've ever had. Everything works out of the box with Debian

Is anyone arguing in favour of open offices? I thought they existed because they were cheaper and then management tries to justify them after the fact by saying they foster collaboration. Aren't these blog posts just preaching to the c

The categorisation is important. Copyright is very different from trademarks is very different from patents. It is important to understand these different laws rather than saying that they're all about owning facts or owning whatever i

> exclusive ownership of facts (aka IP) This is one of the weirdest definitions of IP I have ever seen. You think a story is a fact? Stories are usually copyrighted and usually part of what people mean by "IP". Facts are genera

I always mention the Michael Jackson smooth criminal patent. Is it easy to reverse-engineer? I don't know, it seems obvious once you see what it is, but it seems awfully clever if you don't know about it. A lot of people seem to b

There often isn't even any "investment" in patents. Richard Feynmann would describe how his superiors would just walk around the labs and say, so! who has some ideas we could patent? And Feynmann's fellow scientists woul

I never thought that the case for patents was to increase productivity. I always thought that their purpose was to eliminate trade secrets: people are going to invent stuff whether you want to or not, but without patents, they'll take

"Merciless Indian savages" isn't something we should just accept because we must reject political correctness. The Europeans who came to Anglo-America were usually impoverished societal rejects, with difficult economic or rel

It would and it has. In Mastodon-speak, this is called an "extinction event", and I have seen a few of those. Mastodon, however, has already implemented take-out feature where you can download all of your data at any time, includi

I haven't owned a console in decades, so bear with me: is it currently possible to buy a game and lend it to a friend? I used to borrow my friend's cartridges as a kid. Is that now piracy? What about second-hand rentals, is that a

People often write about how outreach efforts such as Google's are illegal. They are not. There's a very specific law that encourages it. I learned about it because Karen Sandler told me about it when she explained to me why Outre

The continuum hypothesis being independent just means that it's an additional rule you can add or remove from the game you are trying to play. It doesn't mean we are lacking in knowledge and that if we were to work harder we would

I was talking about the Lebanese diaspora in Latin America, in case that wasn't clear. They were aiming for "America" and landed in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil and the rest of Latin America. Well, this is America too, they thoug

I know this is a bit petty, but I've stared to resent a little that even though I'm Mexican, I'm not considered Western. What am I, then? Eastern? Central? Southern? I'm not just arguing about the geography, but about th

I have pretty much only contributed to non-Github projects, and let me tell you: mailing list workflows are not a thing of the past. They're still used by big players like Linux, git, Mercurial, gcc, LLVM, and at least some BSDs: http
