To add to that: that particular site isn't a cute preschool sandbox for children to go and play in. We're talking about very active construction, large space rocket, launches, tanks, gasses, cranes, lifts and various other hazards

Yes, let’s do that: I, and the projects I’m involved in, have moved to Libera. I watched the drama unfold and consider myself informed enough to develop my own opinion, which coincides with that of the staff. It’s been a completely smooth t

People that aren’t in the wrong don’t need to save face like you’re desperately trying to do. All I can say is good luck running Freenode without its staff and sponsors.

It's always the same thing. People find a language/library too complicated, so they go on their own to write a simpler version, only to find out that they missed very important cases that prevents it from having the same qualities

Of course backtracking isn't only a subject of logical programming, what made you think that when reading my reply? The use of "when your logic" doesn't limit you to programming languages or imply that one is involved. I

Important distinction for the author: backtracking is the search mechanism that you're able to use when your logic comprise only predicates. "Avoiding a configuration like 1,1,1" isn't enabled by backtracking. Rather, it

I'm also flagging. This has no merits with regards to science or the hacker mindset (thinkering with things, technology or engineering). It's someone with an agenda, trying to leverage the reach this platform has for the wrong pur

Title: "Here's the mathematical proof". Article: "While there is no mathematical proof [...]" Can we stop with the clickbait titles? You don't arrive at a mathematical proof just by saying the words mathematica

For the interested, I made another project whose frontend looks identical to this, but uses an sqlite backend synchronized with websockets [1]. It’s single-user, real-time and has authentication. [1] https://github.com/nitri

The Standard disagree. C11 6.5.3.2p3 “The unary & operator yields the address of its operand. If the operand has type ‘type’, the result has type ‘pointer to type’.” I understand the intention to warn about the abstraction C introduces,

Another former developer here [1][2]; the memcached cluster is what keeps the entire thing afloat. We used to have dedicated 50 Gbps fiber connections straight between the web and memcached nodes, but now the caching is done locally on the

As much as I admire the people involved with Nix, taking the initiative to solve what they believe can be improved and the other developers like her, toying with new things and successfully managing to figure all this stuff out... I'm

Freenode has orders more than 200 users online, yet alone registered users. I imagine the crowd that tend to use instant messaging don't see the same appeal with threaded message boards. Different medium, for better or worse.

You should never typedef a pointer to an object. That’s common knowledge amongst experienced C developers and an immediate red flag, even for myself normally welcoming of anything built with Haskell.

Perhaps because the first step to achieving anything is to believe firmly in it.

Yeah, they explained in one of the tour videos that they spend most of their time in the "upward" position. The lights for example always come from the "ceiling". Apparently it helps with the visual frame of reference (s

Here, you're basically re-iterating the same point the author made. Some of it was written implicitly while the rest is laid out in a way that induces the mentality you're after, yet, without making any promises based on perceived

"and the Math Proves It". I disagree. A mathematical proof is much more rigourous than that. All that was done here is massaging numbers until one of the approach resulted in the desired outcome.

I have followed the work of vendu on his OS over the years. He has mastered the art. If anyone is interested, you should get in touch with him and try to extract some of the genius sauce out of his brain; especially that memory allocator.
