I haven't read this either, but the flange(?) of the wheel, the part below/behind the rail, is on the same lever as the point where the wheel contacts the rail (v), but further from the axis, so it's moving further (>v), a

This is great, just enough moving parts to get it done, doesn't try to be a meta framework for solving more than it's intended use, really exemplary, thanks for sharing.

Yeah, as I was watching the animation for the algo, I was thinking how nice it'd be if you added purpose to all these segments and features, then produced ships for various applications through fitness algorithms and evolution. Simulat

There's a lot of work to take advantage of perceptual quirks of human vision that happens in tweens by humans that these algorithms don't account for (at least last I knew). Sometimes a perfect interpolation, or even something bas

I'm pretty sure this is only because the current state of the art for software development is too hard, too risky and too inefficient. Algorithmic and structural thinking are achievable by anyone. Most people just aren't willing t

Plus a lot of headaches of maintaining a machine and an OS running on that machine that cost you if you value your time. Static sites + platform = stateless. I'd compare this service to CDNs + HTTP Object storage combos like CloudFront

Who reviews, if the mob consists of everyone? If I participated in developing a thing, I would have probably already made the oversight, wouldn't see an issue. That raises an interesting idea, you split the team, the mob and non-mob, l

The difference between expect my_func to call thing.method and expect my_func to return a call_thing_method Might not seem like much except that the implementation of indirection is one that is in place during production and whole-system te

I imagine there's plenty of artists that read the fine print, couldn't stomach the terms, and were consequently never heard of. Others decided they didn't mind the terms and the odds, some of those made it. Software founders

I don't know if it's age really. I've explained, to developers well older than me things like "well, this practice is bad because <reasons> here's an article from <before I was born>" or having to t

Push after rebase is safe and easy if: You have protection on your remote trunk branches against force push. You have git configured to push only the branch you are on, to the same name on the remote. git rebase; git push -f; It is HARD, DA

I've seen plenty of jokes that were good, relevant, and tasteful upvoted on HN. Do you think it is possible you are mistaken about the quality of yours?

Since when? TMobile US? I've had Nexus and iPhone devices on multiple TMobile plans, never had any trouble tethering: just turn it on like normal for the OS. The only thing I've had happen was I think I remember some years back, I

In a game which required precision, timing, broad visual awareness and/or offered benefit to having more controls than can be provided on the touchscreen without obscuring the view, yes. Just like for classes of games where fast but al

I can't really figure it out. It's pretty mindboggling.

Exactly, even if gamers were a big market, they follow the ROI too. Intel can't try to be a brand the way Nike is or the way LV is, they sell technical things to technical people but mostly to industry.

Yeah, I find the optimal balance between simple numbers that find traction politically, and the realistic but unpopular acceptance that things are uncertain is a triangular distribution "least possible, greatest possible, most likely&q

Significantly better sounding synth sound is nowhere near that far out of reach. The sound he's trying to recreate is not something that comes out of a commercial stack of "$2000 boxes". Da Funk's lead can be reasonably

Could you describe what about the FLStudio piano roll makes it more suitable for making scores with a mouse than other piano rolls?

The replica count seems to be three - allowing quorum with a single lost host - and the repository goes read-only when quorum is lost.

Signatures do survive, format-patch uses RFC 3676 (dashes) signature separator line, iirc., whichever, git apply-mail definitely understands them.

Nitpicks, the term you want when you've been using "standard deviations" is either: Distribution - general term for the shape of the relationship between probability and task length. Triangular distribution or PERT - the spec

Yep. I like the idea of an agency or internal team that does the following: Come up with risk classes and complexity classes, with objective measure for what is or isn't in each class. ("Class X risk involves a library/techni

Yep, the key to understanding git (why there's mutable history, etc.) is to understand that because of its history (designed by Linus) it's not designed to make day-to-day developers's lives easier, but to serve foss project

Any plans to allow for squashing but with a merge instead of a fast-forward or fast-forwards without squashing? CI will still run against the hypothetical merge commit, no? I wonder if there are edge cases where merge vs squash+fast-forward

This is great! Anyone know how far analogous initiatives are for competing projects?

The idea is that you still conform to the convention of the project (Rails, Spring, etc.), not the IDE, and the FOSS CLI tools etc. can still understand the project, but so does the IDE (because it is made to understand the convention, e.g.

I disagree, this is pretty different from depression-is-just-sadness. The article is not shortcutting to a non-solution, it's pointing out that there can be overlooked root causes beyond the symptom, and this can be a very valuable thi
