Prime numbers thin out. We have very good estimates of how they thin out. We also know that gaps between primes can get arbitrarily large. And we cannot predict when the next prime will happen without huge computations. And large primes hav

This is bizarre. The comment by katastic, quoted below, is dead. I see no reason why it should be. I don't know how else to report this, so if the mods catch this, feel free to delete my comment and restore katastic's. Edit: it&#x

My gym, the Sports Centre of Montréal's Olympic Stadium, very much has no music and has signs saying that if you want music, bring your own device. Most of the cardio machines also have access to various forms of entertainment, includi

I was a bit facetious about avocado toast -- that's just a recent trend. Avocado has certainly become a lot more popular worldwide. Avocado toast is but one of the recent avocado recipes whose worldwide popularity has increased. The jo

From my third link: "Exports of avocados from the state of Michoacan, the top source of both the fruit and immigrants to Chicago, have risen fivefold since 2004." And that was in 2008. Mexicans are genuinely starting to be unable

The price of avocados has soared worldwide thanks to memes like avocado toast. Avocados themselves are now valuable enough for cartels. They're calling it green gold. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-416

The concept of IP is that that there is no concept of IP. Copyright is one thing and that's all that's being discussed here. Everything else that you might call "IP" is different, has different origins, works differently

AGPL might help. You need secrecy to do a lot of nasty things. You can do nasty things without secrecy, but at least psychologically, people are a lot less inclined to be antisocial if they think they could be watched, even if they're

Everyone always tells me that, but isn't Nim even more niche than D? I like that D feels familiar and easy. I love D! It's the C++ I always wanted.

Man, meanwhile, D has compile-time function evaluation. D's compiler is really awesome. Most of the time, no special syntax is to evaluate things at compile time (perhaps just a "static" keyword here or there) and the rules a

It matters less because there's less of them. If you have to focus on where resources should go (e.g. time and money) most should go to women. Why do men have such a hard time accepting that women have it harder?

by jordigh 9y ago
Let's not bring whataboutism into this. The problem overwhelmingly and vastly disproportionately affects women. Yes, men are affected too, but if we have to start anywhere to address the problem, focussing mostly on women and less on m

Why do people want to have an "open-source" career at all? Why are people asking, "what should I contribute to?" I honestly don't understand this attitude at all, assuming the people who want to "do" open

by jordigh 9y ago
Currently, about as many as those who use Rust, although going by hype, Rust seems to be getting a lot more attention (i.e. larger derivative of the usage curve, perhaps?). If you look at usage on github, there's quite a bit of D code

MAME has long lacked support for certain Konami games. Is it because of this? Could MAME now support those Konami games, in jurisdictions with no anti-circumvention laws?
