Disagree is too strong, more like disregard and find generally trivial and distracting.

There was a classic science fiction story with a twist on this idea; a low tech species was about to be discovered by a more advanced species. And according to the rules of the more advanced species, any planet that wasn't capable of s

This is my understanding too. Is it possible to use an fpga without built in diff pairs and serdes, and use the io's that are built with a suitable high speed clock domain for a "diy" differential pair? Maybe not as fast, but

This is an interesting phenomenon, how some people focus on the design of the page rather than the content. We see it quite regularly on HN related to blog post such as this. One wonders if the sibling commentors here have ever heard of &qu

I wonder how this reads to Germans who have what amounts to a national holiday of tossing things out before tax time. I recall the first time seeing what appeared to be brand new furniture and electronics sitting on the side walk; it was qu

The fundamental reason is producing ethanol from corn requires quite a lot of energy; for cooking the mash and distilling the final product. If the cycle was entirely ethanol "all the way down" it could be carbon nuetral although

To me the biggest obstacle to this endeavor was creating the pixel art; even with something like Rpg Maker. I believe Rpg Maker has stock assets but at some point you'd want to customize. And that can be a lot of work. Does anyone have

I spent two years modernizing one of these IE only apps (moved to chrome/firefox). Sometimes the offending activex control is simply a xml component (literally parsing, xsl, xpath, etc stuff) of a newer version than what was built in a

The old "oops laid of the wrong people" gag. Never gets old! I say that jokingly, but wow does it suck. I've been on both sides. I think it's actually worse to be not laid off and left picking up the pieces for incompete

PolyML has a lot more "stuff" build in like threads, multiprocess, and sockets. If I were to use SML in anger I'd use PolyML. Sadly I've never had the need. https://www.polyml.org/documentation/Refer

If Star Trek taught me anything, it's that Aliens don't want to interfere with lesser lifeforms! Unless it's for our own good, then they will but try to hide it [1]. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_

That's interesting, also a possible insight into what the X-37b mission is. Retrieving payloads, but what payloads?

This seems like an implementation of Sugiyama algorithm, how is this different?

I think the notable thing here is; this is really a Redhat layoff since IBM "subsumed" or reverse merged or whatever it was with Redhat. My take is that IBM has been a barely warm carcass for > 20 years already and the Redhat d

Ninja Rockstar 100x primitive builder here, I agree! Seriously, I don't begrudge these people one bit. They saw an opportunity and seized it. Admirable in my opinion. Specifically, the videos are so clearly fake it's hard to under

I have been interested to see some factual discussion about the current environment around layoffs compared to previous down turns in tech, but this isn't it. In fact this reads a little wierd. Example: > Could there be a tech reces

I'd even go so far to say this ask is a sign of ill health of the company. Requiring everyone to do what are essentially marketing activities is a red flag imo. If the products and services aren't connecting with the market such t

You should duplicate this test against postgres inserts. I did the same thing for sqlite; in go using a mutex on inserts, and sqlite still out performs postgres on inserts (on the same machine).

I suggest you run some simple load tests that do inserts, you'll find WAL is not sufficient for concurrency. Multiple reader, single writers handle this well though.

This project looks really cool. Maybe someone reading this can answer this question. I've been wondering what the in-browser options are for easy to use low poly modeling? Are there any application you'd recommend?

You are being down voted because this is a shallow view. The expression of interest tied to an identity has value. For proof see Google, Meta, Amazon, and Facebook earnings.
