And you were planning on emailing the rest of your customers? Finding out because of a Tuesday blog post on HN is a bad look for your company...

In certain countries just possessing a file or app of a certain title could get you killed... edit: On further thought, would this have triggered China's firewall?

So they posted a blog before informing their customers directly? They had time to write, post and update, and I am still not seeing any emails about it

Also on brand for GNU, (edit)supporters who downvote but don't want to contribute to the conversation. For example, if a traffic light has no free software, how is the end user supposed to care? Am I somehow harmed by stopping at a red

This is a whole lotta how, and nearly no why. Nobody will adopt if there aren't clearly articulated reasons for doing so. All I've read so far indicates this is a terrible idea, but then that's all they've offered; maybe

Size is a bonus though, the primary push seems to be all the other issues. Either way imho, needless bloat should be shorn regardless of the ability to accommodate it.

Considering we are on fast track to overpopulation (2 to 1 birth rate) this sure sounds like good news

I think it makes sense only in the fact that we write it how we say it out loud - "February 26th, 2021." It is just another convention, albeit inconvenient for computers. I doubt the british way of saying "26th of February&q

The whole thing has alot of great quips: "Just before 5.1 MR, someone reran my tests and discovered that the performance had gotten even worse. Some effort was expended to tune the software so that instead of being intolerable, it was

Workarounds are usually just a symptoms of an institutional issue - broken tooling, missing functionality, bad UI...I'd be surprised if people wouldn't use a proper solution if it were available, especially considering the hoops t

Well you've still not explained how it's somehow faster or smaller using this technology. Simply saying look at size is meaningless, how much is actually being shaved off by using hotwire?

They used their own corporate email...how exactly is that phishing? By that assumption, all company emails should be directed immediately into the trash bin

I would think PICO-8 would just use png's ability to add chunks of data that are ignored if not recognized by a regular decoder, why bother with steno? Separately, this is pretty nifty edit: well i stand corrected by the comment below

49kB, and for the most part it's not executing, so what's your point? There is no reason that shouldn't be fast, regardless Not trying to stray too far from my original point, loading a small page with not alot going on shoul

Either way it's still under 400KB for the whole site, it had better not be slow. Not sure what modern has to do with it. By comparison of a similar design, golang.org is twice the size and only takes .3 seconds longer. So what exactly

Why wouldn't it? It's got like 2 pictures and isn't long. I also wouldn't call it wicked fast - this is normal speed, which everyone seems to have forgotten

Sounds like someone just got a copy of the movie, 'The Jackal.' (1997) Fiction or not, I'm surprised it took this long to be utilized. Is there a blanket-frequency jammer in existence that would have worked at a 150m radius?

I appreciate the link but still never heard of him; like most though, I've heard of Cambridge. Publishing on youtube requires no peer review or approval,so it's literally just some guy, and in the context here it's still odd

by petee 6y ago
Well first, it was published "Summer 2011", right at the top, and second, why be snarky? Cambridge is clearly more reputable than some guy on YouTube...not to knock that guy, but he's still just some guy on youtube

Unless I missed it, it doesn't sound like they have any real metrics on the returns -- how long did most people have the book before returning? If most returns were on the same day then they just didn't like your reading style or

Even if it's not strange to you, are you not atleast bothered that it's so common and accepted, as you seem to suggest? You come across as being totally ok with that...an attitude I don't understand
