Tik Tok seems to be doing what it can to change things. Disclaimer: I dislike both Facebook and Tik Tok so I'm neither applauding nor decrying this.

What about GNU Free Mono? I use it for APL development because it has nice APL symbols. The font itself uses serifs.

Sure, but when would the spring unload? You need to lift your body up do be able to load it again.

Probably not. It seems the energy comes from you lifting yourself up whenever you push down on the pedals. With this thing it'll just be a bit harder to do that.

So if I understand this correctly, it uses the downwards force on the wheel when pushing down on the pedals and converts that into rotational force on the wheel. Now, because of that annoying thing called conservation of energy, this means

But Hawking radiation is black-body radiation. Isn't it just photons where its frequency is proportional to the black hole mass? Where would the information be encoded?

I'm not a physicist so if I got anything wrong, please correct me. The problem is that information conservation is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics. QM is a hugely successful theory which has proven itself to be accurate to abso

I said they thought they were smart. I'm not going to judge whether it actually was smart based on the situation then. That said, UTF-8 was already 4 years old by the time Java came out. Surrogate pairs was added to Unicode in 1996, on

UTF-16 is the worst of both worlds when compared to UTF-8 and UTF-32. The only reason it exists (and, unfortunately prevalent) is because a number of popular technologies (Java, Javascript, Windows) thought they were being smart when buildi

They're quite non-exact. Most countries won't allow you to cross with a valid certificate if the expiry date is within 6 months in the future.

I don't know. Let's say that some non-technical family member goes to this site intending to look at vacation pictures. Imagine if those pictures have been replaced by something else. If you can't think of a long list of repl

Nice article, I do like the way it's explained in a way that a programmer like myself can understand it. I did note a few typos that I will take the opportunity to report here, in order to make an already great article a little better:

Where are you hosting it? I'm looking for a good solution to move my domain off of Google Apps. I haven't really found a good alternative. I was looking at Protonmail until I noticed just how much money they charge per account.

I was there too. That would be the ecache problem, right? I was in the service division at the time, and yes, it was a serious issue. However, if I recall correctly it was limited to the E10K. It was the flagship machine, so of course it go

Need? There are a lot of things people use but doesn't "need". Can one make good use of gigabit Internet connectivity? Yes, definitely. I wouldn't want to go back. If that qualifies as "need", I don't know

Same here in Singapore. The fibre infrastructure was installed by a government company. 2 fibre pairs were installed to every household, and then different ISP's can sell services over it.

As far as I can tell, PS4 updates are limited by the hard drive that the data is written to. It seems to reliably cap out at around 300 Mb/s, which is actually pretty good for a 7200 rpm hard drive. It'll be interesting to see wha

I was hoping you had found a easy way around it. I find it incredibly annoying when I'm in the middle of doing something.

You can have a condition that you need to be able to prove that some variable is strictly decreasing on each iteration. Then you ensure that the loop exits once the variable reaches zero or less. ATS has this kind of proof built into the la

I did the same. Those Javascript questions were really not great. Also, I know enough JS and HTML, but I absolutely hate it and have no interest in answering questions about it, even if the questions were good. A server-side category is cle

I don't know what ISP the OP is using, but Singtel did exactly this. I got a /64 with 6rd. It was quite horrible and the main reason I switched ISP's. Now I have a static /48, which is what all ISP's should be doing

How's do you you deal with Firefox updates where it refuses to load any pages until you restart?

I also didn't get a popup. I then tried after disabling Ublock and Privacy Badger in a private browsing window to ensure that no cookies affected the result. After doing this, I still did not get any popup.

I meant that they wouldn't consider the difficulties of moderating a multi-million user instance. I believe they have enough to deal with when it comes to moderating their half-million user instance. Also I think a large number of thos

I think really huge servers will need a different moderation system. It wouldn't be the responsibility of the Mastodon team to manage or even design that. Also, mastodon.social has about half a million users, and they are having perfor

There is a way to migrate servers. People have mentioned it in other comments. In short, it marks your old account as migrated, and messages is sent to your followers instances, asking them to subscribe to your new feeds instead. For the mo

I'm not sure it was ever designed with that in mind. Almost all my interaction is with people on other instances, and I'm pretty sure that's true for most people (unless you're on gab, as they are blocked by everybody)
