I think this would probably be a good thing, but that it won't happen because it will reduce engagement and trust for the platform by drawing to attention how full of garbage it is - not in aggregate, lots of people know that, but in y

I do wish he'd gone in to more detail though! I imagine the extended attrs and db would be amazing for app devs, but probably wouldn't see much use in the real world because it ties your application to the file system. But what el

I've never taken an uber from a place with hailable cabs. I would never have left a night haunt in Tottenham or a friends house in Denmark Hill and expect to find a taxi. Like, ever. Sure, some cabs would be finishing jobs taking peopl

While I'm interested in circuit design, there are no simple books that will take you from plugging in a battery to a single led to something that can run c code. Maybe NAND to Tetris? Have had a hard time finding a physical book for t

That's kind of the point. The green section is flat - if you vary the frequency by a couple of nm, you do not see a meaningful change in power input. But the slopes in the red and blue sections allow you to adjust the input power signi

While I agree 100% with your response in general, Twitter are suggesting this is an inside job (the "social engineering" line looks like a cover for "someone has been paid for internal access"). If that's true, then

There's actually a different term for that - assurance is to compensate for things which are known will happen (e.g. you will die, at some point), insurance is for things which you don't (you will die during the finite term of the

I'm not sure I understand your point. By questioning the choice of "protests" vs "riots", are you suggesting that the actions taken by a minority of those participating should be used as the header for the whole art

Heh, sorry to beat you over the head with it. You're certainly right that they are transformations. That feels like a more general term (within this context, obvs not in the context of render as "to give"), but I can't t

This is often exacerbated horribly by the fact that the 50 or 60 FPS output doesn't divide well by the 24 FPS source material. It was smoother in the cinema, when it was projected at 24 FPS...

:O Just looked more closely at the photo. That is a pretty unorthodox layout for a 40% keyboard! (having a number row on the default layer)

Bottom row. On mine I have space left of centre and enter right of centre. Its a full keyboard, you use the next two outwards on the bottom row to shift layers for access to all the punctuation. They actually very ergonomic. See olkb.com fo

I can't reach `]` without moving my hands from the home row. Nor can I reliably find it using my weakest finger without looking down. Then after I've used it, I must re-home my hands before continuing. Don't even get me start

As someone who uses a 4x12 key grid keyboard, I disagree with the assertion that there is no ergonomic benefit. The benefits are twofold, in my experience: 1. On the subject of a reduced number of keys Every key is within 1 unit distance (o

Saying that the source is "closed" seems a stretch though. Its certainly not free software any more. But even if it doesn't meet the official definition of open either (at least, for 3 years per contribution), there's

If I read correctly, antirez's biggest complaint is English orthography (the way the spelling maps to the pronunciation - or doesn't, in the case of English!) There's a secondary thread about native speakers being useless a

I built my own using an ardino clone and a couple of shift registers to provide enough i/o pins. It probably cost less than £5 in parts, offset by 5 or more hours designing and fabricating the thing. But if you're looking to build

Is WeChat a social network or a messaging platform? I realise it is expanding, but I'd have no problem doing talking business on WhatsApp (which is the closest analogue to what I understand it to be for).

But the vote was poorly informed and actively manipulated. Many people voted leave as a protest against the state of the country, not the EU, and have said so. And many of the most persuasive statements made by the leave campaign were shown

That is what I meant (situational). The people you're you're meeting on holiday may well take nice holidays too, but they are not right at that moment :)

There's a power imbalance there. You're on holiday, exercising your economic power and generally having a good time. How would you feel if hoards of Chinese people came over to photograph you in your native environment, say, stuck
