This is a boring way to respond to a post that obviously tries to be funny, but I don't find it funny. There's nothing special about Gregorian calendar. It is shit and unorganized just like hundreds of other things that are shit a

Are their products usable without web-accounts? I'm thinking about buying a watch. Also, recently I bought Polar HR10 heartrate monitor and was unpleasantly surprised by the fact their Android app is also "signup required", f

IDK, maybe it is boring for a guy who has nothing better to do than to fuck with configuring software he uses. But I kinda tricked myself into thinking GNU/Linux is an actually usable OS, like, to live with it without noticing it too m

Because school is horrifying! Why would anyone even wonder about that? Being tortured for 10-14 years, and all of this while being young and full of hopes too!

So, is there a correct way to do it in bash?

This simply isn't true. Faster algorithm is even linked in comments to this particular issue: https://members.loria.fr/PZimmermann/mca/mca-cup-0.5.9.pdf (p.38)

This. I don't really understand CPython decision-making process, but it just seems like a common sense that anybody who would find this a good idea surely must be a very junior developer who shouldn't be allowed to commit directly

I'm not gonna take anyone's side here, just to point out that "bias" goes both ways. Carmack is a life-long game-developer (always more focused on "technical" aspects of gamedev, like graphics), and now basical

I understand whis is pretty much WIP, but still, it's too unorganized to be anything useful. I thought the most interesting to be features page[1], which is nearly empty, and this effort in taxonomy is rather too complicated to be crow

Huh. It didn't really answer the question for me, but, anyway, now I'm more wondering about how comes that this question never occured to me in my entire life. This seems like the most obvious thing to ask, but I don't rememb

Well, if you are truly wondering, I think I can give you some intuition about "why they were so pissed". Obviously, I don't know what were the facts of the situation, and if they really should've been pissed, but I can

Never really heard of this Seinfeld guy before, and indeed this is a common idea (the earliest attributable mention of this I remember was in Franklin's auto-biography, but surely it is way older than that). This advice (as many other

> $177M in revenue for Linux Foundation (2021) > Linux Kernel Support: 3.4% I suppose this is not entirely accurate, since this was a forecast, and this isn't really news, apparently, but this is news to me. And I find it quite t

Read — no, I don't. Download to skim and see the contents — yes (even though I don't do it everyday, obviously). In fact, I rarely download less than 4 books at once, except for occasions when it's a new book of my favorite w

I don't quite agree. I mean, they provide useful service, and it costs money to run it. It's ok that they earn (even if it's actually making a profit, not just covering the costs). That being said, 10 downloads/day feels

Oh, it didn't come up to me to navigate "backwards". Thanks. Actually, their whole FAQ is quite more enlightening than just the linked page. http://pilimi.org/faq.html

This, and also MITM (like ISP) needs to make their own request to this site, to know what I read. And, technically, they cannot really be sure it's what I've read, since nothing says that this site is static. I'm not that off

So, if I get it right. First there was Libgen, which is mirrorable. Then, some Z-Library copied Libgen and added some more books, without making it mirrorable. The goal is to make these new books, which are not mirrorable — mirrorable (i.e.

It gave me a pause to think about how it came that I can never really tell what am I looking at anymore. Forget the HN title, which is stupid — what does this landing page tell me? Well, that it's… next gen, and it apparently can catch

Yeah, well, no. Realistically no one ever will fight or most likely even decline a good job offer over a typical employment contract, and no employer will ever change a typical employment contract specially for you, unless you are somehow

Yeah, it was actually kind of disappointing to understand that after buying the subscription. I mean, Google Maps coverage is far from being complete as it is (and obviously is not going to be in the observable future even for places where

Funny to see this downvoted. I have watched Davies for a long time now, and I really like both the style of the videos and his ability, but "being better in a game" is kind of an objective metric, and the fact that these "wri

Does anybody know of something similar, but written in a more elaborate book-like fashion? It's not about format, of course, it's just that all these model-zoo's are only half of the story — not useless, but rather incomplet

I honestly don't see what's the big deal, and, if anything, why this isn't grossly abused all the time. I mean, that's just how Github works, isn't it? Anyone can tag anyone, uh, yeah, ok, whatever. Looks like an in

Of course you have to (or, well, obviously it depends on the laws of your country, but let's be real — what country would agree that you don't?). But there's no earnings, if all your earnings are in magical Warhammer 5000 Gol

This is only partially true. Yes, USD is sort of backed by the fact there are people with guns extorting taxes from you in USD. Except, if you earn no USD, you shall pay no USD. And if "fools" stop believing anybody will sell yo

First off, I'm not that impudent to assume that it must be "obviously true" for the GP, so I have to review both possibilities. Second, as I already said, if it's "obviously true" then I don't see what GP&

Well, you can also say that all modern money is like that. USD is worthless. As soon as supply of fools that believe you can actually exchange it for useful stuff dwindles, the price crashes. So, no, this isn't the joke and this isn&#x

I mean... he is absolutely right, what's your problem with that? Do you think this proposition is radical indeed? If so, it shouldn't look like a joke to you. Or do you think it isn't bold and radical, but an obvious prerequi
