Agreed, thanks for pointing this out!

Ah okay. Certainly that sounds like the fairer way to handle it!

It sounded ridiculous the first time I heard it but trains actually have right of way over cars/pedestrians... I wonder if those rights transfer if you could buy up an old train line?[0] (Of course, a HyperLoop isn't as easy to ju

There's an old github issue[0] exploring this, but it seems to have died. One contributor had some basic success[1], so perhaps there could be opportunity to more closely integrate the two projects by a sufficiently skilled and motivat

But React isn't a framework. It's only a view library. So by definition, it shouldn't care less about Ajax. Similarly, Redux is only a state-management container. It also shouldn't care about Ajax. What you're proba

This is what I'm interested in as well. There's a little bit of prior discussion (see links below), but the short of it is that MicroPython is open source while Zerynth is not. For me that makes Zerynth a non-starter, but if that&

Do escalators not come with a ratcheting mechanism to prevent exactly that from happening? Seems to me like a serious design error if not..

From a trader's perspective, losses are the cost of doing business. When you're starting out, your losses are your tuition. An engineer spends at least $100K+ and 4+ years going school to learn their craft; why should it be any di

I think perhaps a better example would be the bulk shipping industry during November of last year; take a look at DRYS in particular. $5 to $120 in a week, followed immediately by a breakdown right back to $5. (It's split a bunch of ti

I'll admit the endless compiling was often torturous, but I have the Gentoo docs to thank for most of what I know about the innards of Linux and operating systems. Bet I'm not alone in judging the time spent worth it :)

Taken to an extreme, would you propose to altogether disallow translation from one language to another? To instead force readers to learn new languages in order to strictly preserve the original authors' intents? Personally, I would li

Right or wrong, this does seem more inline with "the Gnome way." It's also why I stopped using Gnome (and in fact, Ubuntu all together). But I suspect I was never their target user, and that's OK. If they can make it eas

Just tried setting it up, pretty simple assuming you're comfortable with Linux. You need MySQL/MariaDB, PHP >= 5.5.9 (see composer.json, require section for version requirements - worked with 7.1.x for me), node/npm, and c

Ah OK, thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected.

Well, please correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it by using React you're essentially giving up your right to sue FB for infringement of any of your patents (assuming you wish to keep using React). True, by using somethin

If this is a concern, maybe you could just use something like preact as a drop-in replacement for react? https://github.com/developit/preact

Certainly it would. I'm not exactly sure how a longer-term investor would have gone about buying stock then, but probably there was a broker in their city that had a big ticker board showing the current prices (as quickly as some kid c

Probably he's referring the "real time" part. Electronic ticker tapes were invented in 1867, and were relatively prevalent by the 1870s. (The Dow was first calculated on May 26, 1896.) But even still, for average investors, m

MailHog is pretty great. In response to your concern, by default it runs on a non-standard port, so you need to configure your apps to point at it (port 1025 by default). Even then, you can configure it to act as a MITM, where the webmail i

A (perhaps stupid) question, are USPTO judgment dates public ahead-of-the-fact? In other words, how do you prevent being too early and your options expiring worthless?

You can run `apt-get autoremove` and it will purge old kernels/headers for you (amongst any other no-longer-used dependencies).
