This is SRE in action: https://github.com/martanne/vis The video in the README.md is impressive, and together with the PDF document linked above even I'm going to be able to figure this out.

I must say I'm on the fence about such databases, because I realize how law enforcement and social services can benefit from increased cooperation and having an idea how person might behave when they're stressed out, ie. when poli

Listen to Eisenhower's farewell address and read up on JFK assassination, about which Trump so conveniently blocked a load of material until 2021. How much more important can the secret service be than the government?

I don't get how you could think "interpreted XML" was a good idea. Great, you don't need context switching the way PHP does it, but instead of properly splitting templates and code, ColdFusion still mixes both while mana

Welcome to 21st century arguments. Humans used to be able to disagree and still get along, but that was boring for drama-preventing reasons. More on topic, though, I wonder: What exaclty is the relationship between Alpine Linux and ungleich

Guix is a weird little behemoth of a distribution, that allows you to install different versions of different packages at the same time which then builds your effective file system on the fly. That being said, as mad as this sounds, I'

You have a point there, I stand corrected.

I'd imagine "peer review" would be along the lines of taking another set of samples and comparing results, but maybe that's just me.

Finding an indicative difference in a tiny, yet random sample appears to have accomplished more than the guy yelling "small sample size" - and, which I find ironic - "waste!" here. They managed to add a tiny bit of contr

The ruling is strange, because in my opinion part of a modern working environment would be driven by some form of mutual trust. If you put the burden of "proof of accomplishment" on the workers, that may stifle workplace attractiv

Now that you mentioned it, I never hit the case where I would read two different times in the same function/subshell scope and would never have considered this a problem. But maybe I'm just preempting this halfway subconciously ap

There's an actual difference in behavior between`read name` and `read`: one strips leading and trailing whitespace, the other does not. I know it because I once needed to strip whitespace and only found out through IRC; the difference

I remember ruby had some approach with reusing previously allocated yet out of scope objects. I can very well imagine taking this concept above and beyond, and having virtually separated stacks for each type...

Reminds me a bit of "get woke, go broke", except this time it looks a bit more like "go broke, get woke"... :) Except I don't think that's what's happening with Hodent. As far as I can tell, she's pus

I really enjoy reading Vi Hart, and I had to think of a hobby I picked up recently, which is Super Mario Maker on the Nintendo Wii U. It's not quite Turing complete, but the complexity it brings forth really gets me thinking into simil

Well usually, Microsoft is on the receiving end of the "vulnerability found" game. To me it would appear as if they're making sure that every single thing they discover requires media attention.

Well, the phrasing sure leans towards the intellectual side, however Calvin adopting the artistic attitude (and lingo) before even making a name for himself or adopting any skill whatsoever is not just funny but in a simple way encouraging.

If anything, getting rid of some term because we currently find it insufficient to convey what we mean by it will, in all likelyhood, open the race for far more confusing, rosy and well-meaning, yet more meaningless nomenclature. By that me

I don't think they shipped an app for whatsapp yet. There's a maps app though, but personally I always have my laptop with me anyway, which has considerably more pixels.

It's definitely hard, with something squishier underneath. Maybe I have a manufacturing one-off, but for me, the keys tend to trigger multiple times when I press them. I can hardly enter an entire phone number without accidentally doub

I'm using the new nokia 8810. The keyboard is annoying, but otherwise with this phone you have a hotspot turned phone in a classic shape with you. KaiOS isn't too bad either (no google stuff on my phone too).

Students are supposed to set things on fire and find various nifty features for learning's sake. But with experience - and the discovery that various such features largely overlap (eg. + and .extend()), one tends to grow out of that st

Big fan of .update(), .extend() and similar methods here. I do use { **d } but I don't like using features just because they're there. Let's try to write code that can be read by people without having to wonder about c

It actually costs in an entirely different way, when you screw with everybody's sleeping schedules, cause accidents with wildlife getting surprised by brisk changes in traffic peaks. Personally, I never dealt well with the change, eith
