Much less interesting... Yes and no. It's a different kind of hack.

Please explain how my arms or legs won't be easily cut off when using one of these? I've always wondered about the safety issues with these types of lifts.

To be fair, this didn't contain anything that wasn't possible in 10 or even 20 years ago in one hour. The only thing that wasn't so straightforward 20 years ago (1995) was finding hosting for your page.

Yes, that is the Wikipedia page for a spreadsheet application called Visicalc.

Oh come on, you just don't get it do you? Just because Wordpress, which is a blog platform, uses libcurl for something you didn't even state (probably some outbound http stuff), doesn't mean it uses it to process most of the

I don't know but just having it installed as part of OS distribution doesn't really count as "user", now does it?

by kyberias 12y ago
PHP applications may use libcurl when making outbound HTTP requests, right? That is only a small subset of these web sites. Most web sites just normally process HTTP requests. This does not seem to explain the 1 billion users figure.

> Rough estimates say we may have a billion users already. This cannot be true by a long shot. Or am I missing something?

I'd love to hear some opinions (from the author?) on how well the current offering of major DBMS-vendors (eg. Microsoft, Oracle, ... ) handle geospatial data. How well do they scale and do they have some inherent limitations?

It's trying to accomplish exactly the same as Wine, only vice versa. There is a considerable amount of software written and compiled for Linux that is not available on Windows.

This has been tried before as the author notes. E.g. http://lbw.sourceforge.net/ Previous experiments have stumbled on Linux usage of %gs and other segmentation issues. The present project is possibly trying to overcome tho

I don't get this. If any relational database choked with that small number of rows, it would be thrown away immediately. That's a couple of orders of magnitude too slow.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

UB? I don't get the first one.

This list has some weird examples. It's like the author makes some crazy requirements for Javascript. For example, I don't think it's particularly bad that array[-1] and array.charAt(-1) return different values. Also, I don&#

You're probably right she didn't have code reviews in mind. Perhaps I was just worried that someone takes this as an example and will do some crazy unnecessary tricks in software. Also, I don't have any experience of such abs

There are some serious small text font rendering issues on this page with Windows+Chrome. Almost unreadable really.

by kyberias 12y ago
There's a certain tone in this article that bothers me a bit. At least in software engineering, the idea of reviews is to find errors in code or design how ever small they are. When inspecting any code, we almost always find at least s

No. That's because whoever wrote the script(s), wrote strong women characters. Some earlier script version may have had strong male characters but that is not automatically the reason.

Wow, what a wildly ignorant comment.

Clearly you're unable to calibrate your stubborn beliefs with the fact that two identical genomes produce identical looking people. That is VERY strong evidence that a person's face is almost 100% determined by genes. Stop hand-wa

In fact, a quote from [1] clearly states that it contains "largely the same code ... refactored": ".NET Core also includes the base class libraries. These libraries are largely the same code as the .NET Framework class librar

by kyberias 12y ago
They didn't develop it in git, just dumped it in github. That explains the lack of commits. I don't see how the quote substantiates the notion that .NET core is written from scratch.

The most interesting code is dark grey text on black background.

I don't think this explains it at all.

Some context, please?

by kyberias 12y ago
I don't think it's written from scratch. Why would it be? WPF and Windows Forms have some Windows specific stuff that would be irrelevant in a cross-platform version.

by kyberias 12y ago
Yet those differences are, as you said, subtle, that is, very small. That means that, in the context of this article, there is no huge range of faces we can determine from genes, but the genes (when we know them) actually determine the face

If you disagree, please explain your reasoning, don't just downvote. Thanks.
