Effective time zone is somewhat more personal, though. As a night owl, working with local early risers sucks a lot.

There is a subtle difference between knowing what river is and knowing how to get to the other bank.

Users could complain when someone makes their browsers work harder. Looking around the net, they mostly don't. I don't know. The only time I developed a serious full SPA, I intended to use it myself on a $50 phone, so I actually k

> I don't think co-workers would appreciate an essay with exhibits at the top of a file, lol. Why? I don't really have an experience of being a co-worker, but I have always appreciated such essays in free software.

Could an abstraction of "single Linux computer" be actually useful with Earth-scale latencies?

In a top Russian university you simply would not have the time, and they would not hesitate to kick you out; graduating from university can be more difficult than getting into one. Are you sure? I studied math in MSU in early 00's. M

In MSU of early 00's most students drank a lot. I certainly did, mostly with other people from schools #2 and #57 already mentioned in this thread. But there was another company with a reputation of "real crazy drunkards". Th

I agree with what you are saying, but want to clarify the example a bit. Yalta is in fact in Crimea, I believe most people there would ask you to not call their land part of Ukraine (note: this doesn't mean I believe that annexation wa

"Because it can be done" is a very solid answer to "Why?"

It's not just cost. I'm starting to think that if I get sick (covid or otherwise) until the hospital overload subsides, I might have better chances to recover in my own bed even in a relatively severe case.

by owl57 7y ago
Exactly. In my country it works the same way, and doctors aren't well paid here. Some of them then go to places where doctors are paid better. Thus, they don't inherit money indirectly through going to schools for well-paid profes

Good luck running a web browser plus your application on a smart card, or even (decently) on an underpowered netbook. Sufficiently young people probably suspect these were called netbooks as some joke. They run Emacs just fine and without

If you need compatibility with C, JS or whatever, then you can't use square brackets for generics anyway. If you don't need such compatibility, why can't you just make that a function call and tell users to avoid funny combin

So, pretty much the opposite of all those people currently using it instead of going together to McDonald's or university? On a more serious note, you would need to trust not one ISP if the video wasn't encrypted, but all the ISPs

BTW, soap is exactly what I meant by "almost" unique. You mean, a bidet? Long-term, seems like an interesting idea. Short-term, filling a cart with TP during an unavoidable (because of food delivery collapse) visit to the store se

How? Both Python and Node have some https client in their standard libraries, and both have headless Chrome drivers (what this script uses) in easily installed third-party libraries.

Yes, but why couldn't it also be a product name. For example, an express delivery service focused on people who are willing to pay a premium to get TP within an hour. Now, writing this comment had me finally realize that TP, however we

Most strange of all, I have seen today a couple of job announcements from companies that are very busy growing in the brave new quarantined world, one even explicitly pointing it out, and yet they start the "work conditions" part

Do governments have a good reason not to suspend patents for the time of emergency? Emergency rules break a lot of other businesses, and pharma is probably one of the few industries not in danger?

Is "normal weight" less of a problem? Do such studies usually generalize to overweight males better than to females?

There are 50% false positive, and there are some false negative. And some more not exactly false negative, but simply got sick after the test. And you tell them: we tested everyone, all negatives can just resume normal life. What could go w

I believe most ISPs don't care if the file you download is "good" or "bad". What they probably do, and IMHO should care about, is prioritizing interactive applications over bulk downloads.

I fear the opposite. The Apollo project is a symbol of the era when the wealthiest states of the world were obsessed with rockets. They are probably more interested in mass psychology now.

Finder isn't some third-party tool released before this kernel change. Why should it not know about those plugged holes?

OCaml has an unusual share of latency-sensitive stakeholders, probably only comparable with Go of all garbage-collected languages. As far as I heard, optimizing Go's GC for latency has been an awful lot of work.
