Are you referring to Wilaiwan's in Montpelier? Excellent place that's only open for weekday lunch, and Saturday lunch when the Farmer's Market is running in the summer. They usually cook large batches of three dishes, and are

You can add subtitles or closed captions to the video. It also supports adding a transcript (like subtitles or closed captions, but without timing information), and it will use speech recognition to try to line it up with the video. You can

Yes, but they are still shipping AOSP and still selling Pixel phones with unlockable bootloaders. Clearly, Google wants to be able to support companies which want to sell locked-down phones. But as long as they sell their own phones with un

I've been happily buying Nexus and Pixel phones for as long as they've existed, on which you can easily unlock the bootloader and build your own ROM if you want. I don't see why Google would stop doing that just because they&

In your 35 second blurb, and the New York Times article, it seems like the point you're making is that interference is the main way that quantum computers work. But what makes quantum interference special over other kinds? You can get

You missed two thirds of my comment. This was in order of preference. If you can, use free software that you can fix and support yourself if need be. If not, buy the software and run it yourself, so you can at least control its operation. T

Yes, I should have been more clear that what I meant was that this is one possible alternative explanation that hasn't been ruled out by the experiments done, not that this is the only possibility. I had said "could have been cons

Use free (FLOSS) software. If you have to use non-free software, buy software, not services. If you have to buy services, always have a well-tested fallback path for when that service is not available.

The problem with all of this is that using these kinds of emotional reactions to evaluate research can lead to making some significant errors that can cause real harm. As an example, facilitated communication was once touted as a way in whi

That's not training dogs to breath water, that's altering the water to be breathable by dogs. If you want to look at it that way, nothing is qualtitively "entirely different." We can all breath water to different degrees

The "entirely different" part is about specific claims about language. There are many different ways animals are able to communicate with each other, and with humans. Sounds, gestures, songs, body language, scents, and so on. They

Helen Keller was able to communicate directly with people without a specific facilitator, eventually by learning to speak, to write, to read braille, to understand sign language by touch, and to lip read by touch. She was best with her firs

I responded to this point in somewhat more depth in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17367375 What bothers me is not the idea that another animal could understand language, but the very poor evidence be

This isn't about "new and unique ideas" in the sense of some profound insight. I was responding to the "was capable of communicating new and unique ideas" from the parent, which is a way of paraphrasing some of the

How many of these "new and unique ideas" could be attributable to Koko and not her handlers? Almost all interpretations of what Koko's signing means come from her handlers, not from neutral observers. Dogs can be trained to r

Yeah, it looks like the author started playing around with D and writing a Pascal to D compiler for the migration, then did the evaluation with a "requirements" list that seems fairly heavily weighted towards D and their approach

One really useful tip for Wireshark that's not as obvious as it should be. Increasingly often, what you need to debug is a TLS connection. However, that can make debugging more difficult as the contents of the connection are encrypted.

They do make some money on Macs, and Mac software, but not nearly as much as on iOS. Providing macOS gives a developer and designer platform for iOS. That is really important for them. So Metal being available on macOS is important for that

Because the developers who would be working on OpenGL on macOS are working on Metal instead, because that's where the value is for Apple.

But iOS is a lot bigger than macOS. You notice that Apple supported OpenGL while they were making most of their money from desktop and laptop sales; but once iOS became so profitable, they decided to go their own way and start pushing Metal

Yes, but they require you to fill out a long, detailed form about what project you're affiliated with, exactly what resources you need and for how long, an IBM advocate (?), and so on. This is quite inconvenient for someone just wantin

I don't think this can really be blamed on CSS. I mean, yes, a new CSS feature allowed a timing attack that could extract information, but these kinds of issues keep on coming up time and time again, meaning that it's not this par
