I'm assuming you're a North American like myself. I find it shocking how attitudes towards health and food in Europe are so different from here. Flying back from France or Italy through the USA is a surreal experience -- obesity i

At least some studies have shown correlation between increased artificial sweetener intake and BMI: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/ I personally avoid the stuff, preferring to just limit

Airlines added baggage fees to capture more revenue. Passengers started bringing more carry-on luggage as a result, filling up the overhead bins. It now takes longer to gather ultra-heavy, overlarge carry-ons from the bins to exit the plane

I assume this is all done server-side, with Google feeding your interests and investigations into your personal profile. I really wish this could be done on-device. I don't want Google slurping up even more data about web users. I use

Your comment history appears to be solely pro-Tesla and pro-Musk, which suggests that you may need to reach a higher bar of support for your argument here. Calling someone's perspective childish is not especially constructive.

Sorry, I assumed that most people could understand the pseudocode syntax for a subarray operation. In Javascript, this is: array.slice(2)

by mmastrac 3y ago
I think the JS spec would have been better served with a different syntax for generator/iterator destructuring. Most code I've seen assumes that: [a, b, ...rest] = array is implemented like this: a = array[0] b = arra

I'm working with the v8 engine and it's a minefield of de-optimizations and random slowdowns for things that you would not expect to be slow. Exception handler structures can dramatically change performance characteristics of code

I'm pretty sure all those options require a subscription, no? EDIT: I'm not sure now -- I might experiment a bit with this to see if it'll save my notebooks from the device to other clouds. It looks like you can use it as a q

I love my rm2, but I absolutely hate the cloud subscription they force on you. I'm able to make use of the limited sync, but it's ridiculous that it requires a monthly subscription.

You gotta give it to him. Michael Burry has predicted 20 of the last 3 crashes.

I would love to ask Gregory R. Travis what he did with it... The 6600 certainly had population count; I used it. Note that it was about the SLOWEST instruction in the whole instruction set. I'll have to dig out the COMPASS m

The anti-union messages in North American work culture were so effective it takes an incredible amount of abuse before a workforce actually seeks out a union.

This is funny because I've never used Facebook for news. The only thing I ever found there was rage and clickbait.

I used to watch this on YouTube regularly until right about when the city tried to make the underpass deeper. It didn't help, hah.

If you have modern PoE dispensing (?) equipment it's pretty safe as the devices all auto-negotiate.

I have a load of Unifi stuff here and it all supports active PoE, but works just fine with passive. The PoE outputs all autonegotiate.

I thought most modern devices had isolation!

by mmastrac 3y ago
I use PoE extractors to power a few different devices in my house, including RPis and some non-PoE switches. It's ridiculously easy to use them, but you generally need to know the voltage you want ahead of time.

Thanks for the heads up on the web-capable versions of the other games. That's pretty cool indeed. I hope someone takes on the few missing multiplayer games from the DEC version at some point but figuring out how to port them is going

What I'd really like to see are the multiplayer games from the original 101 BASIC Computer Games ported to the web. I was too young to understand how those worked as a kid, and my dad's copy had some printing issues (occasional pa

If it was easy to get more volunteer maintainers, a lot of open-source projects would be very happy. :)

The blessing and curse of having a prolific contributor (mostly the former). The trick is to manage burnout and figuring out continuity for these individuals to avoid massive upset in the open-source project if they decide to move on or tak
