Why? (Or why should we care about your personal interest in java without any substantial information?)

Sugihara just recently (again) won the Illusion of the Year contest. He has made lots of fun stuff over the years that's worth checking out! [2] I was lucky to attend "FUN with Algorithms 2018" earlier this year, where he was

I recently had fun implementing [0] some of the concepts/math for ambiguous cylinders by Kokichi Sugihara. Some of his first illusions [1] came from researching computer vision, where the computer should understand how a 2d picture sup

"This" existed in javascript long before classes. No idea why my relevant question is down voted.

Why couldn't one just pass in `this` to useState, a key, or something similar? Like, if I have two state variables, pass in a name for both, instead of relying on the order being the same.

I don't think before today it's whether the props change or not, but if the equal check should be deep or not.

If GDPR killed a startup it probably wasn't something worth keeping. Being compliant is sooo easy for small companies, it's mostly just about not being a dick about privacy. And I have no idea why you thought bringing this up was

Why would that matter for learning typescript..?

Suddenly GDPR is not so bad, eh?

I never read man pages. If I need to check man, the tool failed in being user friendly. I'll then rather search online for what I need and blindly copy the first result on some stack exchange page..

While I like a lot of the new capabilities of the web, I sometimes feel like it's Google strong-arming them into existence, and the rest has to follow.

I biked through Denmark a few years back. It's a really small country. So a modern electric car would need like one stop to recharge in the middle somewhere?

Why? Please be more substantial, don't just insult. And I'm not from the US.

But for many of us, the aspect of having a NSA backdoored US product is probably more scary.

During the presentation they showed a video of a person blowing a ping-pong ball with a hair-dryer, keeping it afloat. What's the relevance to lasers?

Maybe instead of "here are 50 emails you can buy" it's more like "pay us to send an email to 50 students". In the second case no data is shared.

Why do you have to "keep updating every 6 months"? Lots of projects stuck on java6, 7 or 8 without updating for years.

Hehe. As a non-native speaker I have a hard time remembering the difference between employer and employee.

Huh, for me free lunch means the company takes an interest in the well-being of its employees (fixd). This may differ from area to area, though. But I find it more social and relaxing to just eat inside, than having to spend energy and time

Using Gmail as test-bench is not exactly a fair comparison.

I'd prefer if people said why they consider the code good, instead of throwing out a bunch of random projects.

> Today I can stand up anywhere and talk about anything to anyone without notice. You can be comfortable doing it, but doesn't mean some practice wouldn't make it more enjoyable for the listeners.

by maaaats 8y ago
Huh, for me it's opposite. Recorded myself practicing, thought I talked at a reasonably pace, but realized it was sooo sloow.. and.. boring.. to listen to. So I feel I have to deliberately talk faster. Anyways, record yourself practici

I don't see why it requires a car. A suburb neighborhood could have a bus stop somewhere, taking the people to and from a more connected (as in public transport) place/hub. Walking a few hundred meters must be doable? Or maybe the

by maaaats 8y ago
This would solve itself if cars were banned. Either you would have to find a more practical place to live, the city add public transportation to the work, you find a new place to work, the work moving offices etc. It's only a problem b

The point would be to get rid of the reasons people need cars. By rethinking urban planning, infrastructure, public transportation etc.

Yeah, I did that last winter here in Oslo. Goes a bit slower than slicks during summer, but definitely doable.

I think it's the same personality-traits that made him this money that also made him lose it. Most people wouldn't do these "gambles", and thus wouldn't even ever be in a position to actually lose so much money.
