FYI scrolling this page is slow as balls on my computer. Firefox on Ubuntu. I don't know if this page is a demonstration of your plugin, I'm guessing yes but I can't see any masking going on, it seems to scroll just like a no

But wouldn't the software cursor operations also go in the queue? I don't see the problem.

Complete indifference to the implication that I am in some way responsible for crimes committed by others just because I use a similar tool.

Complete indifference. That's the same class of argument as telling people they shouldn't use Signal because criminals use Signal.

And how do you express that as arithmetic? I can get as far as `plot() / 3` but then no idea how to proceed. I don't think overloading arithmetic is a very good way to express this.

by jstanley 4mo ago
Using operator overloading of "+" to configure the plot is... a choice.

This could do with a bit more explanation. It makes a noise and then has buttons labelled red, blue, and yellow. How am I supposed to know what colour that sound was? Do sounds naturally have associated colours? Is this even the question I&

Promoting your friends' work is hardly stealing their thunder. It's increasing their thunder!

Cool idea, am working through. It's annoying that you need to click 3 times per question, and the buttons are in 2 different places. Maybe would be better to just let me click the answer I want and then instantly show me the next quest

The experience could easily run the other way around, you are doing the same thing you criticise.

Showing workers of companies other than Microsoft as Microsoft on caller ID is a phishing risk.

They can always drive less frequently or more slowly, that's within their power.

The emissions scandal is completely different, because in that case they were illicitly making the car work better for its owner.

How can you provide a stateless logout (that invalidates credentials rather than simply forgetting them client side)?

Why does it need its own F-droid repo?

But how smart is it? All the people running local models never seem to mention that they are way dumber than cloud models. I don't care how many tokens per second of nonsense it can generate.

Approximately, yes. In a sense all this communication is "for somebody". But do you know all the communication your laptop is doing? Do you really claim it is all for you, or all for your benefit? Or is it just something the lapto

I was imagining that the bulk of traffic was things like docker image layers etc. being sent around incidentally but not actually looked at by humans. Things that are to do with the running of the systems rather than directly for human cons

That's like asking of the Internet "communication for whom?" The vast majority of bytes sent over the internet are neither from nor to a human writer or reader. It turns out that humans are not a necessary component in commun

People will very often say they "had to" do something, when in reality they merely "chose to" do that thing.

I think this is actually a perfect example. The animations make it more complicated to follow, not less! If it just highlighted the stuff you were hovered over it would be easy to understand, I honestly don't get the motivation behind

True in 3d CAD when switching between work planes. I can't think of another application.

They're not useful as phones , because the battery, screen, radio, etc. are damaged; but they may still have a working CPU inside, which would be sufficient for this project.

Some of the ffmpeg developers were on Lex Fridman's podcast recently, and the topic of security came up. They were talking about how there was a vulnerability in an extremely niche codec that is only used for one video game from the 90

If making holes in things that didn't have holes in them before is a sufficient condition for "violence", does that make drills violent too? Or is that taking words-mean-things too far? Or perhaps can we accept that it is pos

It may be the case that "most of" their sanctions-related blocks apply only to governments (let's say there are 100 such blocks), while they still disallow usage by persons located in a country or territory that is the target

I think "echo" is a fine word to use, they're hardly calling them "reincarnations".
