Oh yeah, it should. Would look rather nice as well. The size gain doesn't have to be more than couple percents, maybe 3-5?

If a person loses their mind over a republican being elected president, I wouldn't want to work with that person. What happened to calm discourse?

Stating the current year is not an argument.

...yet it doesn't count against your karma. Starting from zero would make more sense for a true hacker.

Xmonad is pretty wonderful, even in vanilla. Excellent piece of software!

In general, WWW content should be designed browser/user/agent agnostic way. Better not to assume that everyone is using touch or a mouse to scroll around. Hence, it's not the greatest design.

I'm guessing that the data couldn't completely be silenced because then any heavy dynamic compression at playback would bring out the optimization and break the sound.

There's no escaping the Apple walled garden!

Apple makes people learn the ergonomic C-[ instead of using Esc, which is so last year. All hail Cook!

But what exactly is achieved with information hiding, hmm? :) Now there forms many schools of opinion, and in many of them it suffices to have data immutable and value-like, and suddenly it doesn't matter if the information is hidden

A couple comments. * clojure protocols map to interfaces (abstract classes for C++ folks) * one can define records that satisfy protocol(s). This is one way to do OO in clojure, happens to map to the underlying JVM mechanisms for JVM optimi

Yes, I've been hasty to write sloppily today. One thing that is not perfect is the way Python treats classes; the mechanism is very much like in Java or C#. Multiple dispatch requires some handiwork, although it's not half bad in

While the implementation is not optimal (favors photograph content as PNG is not going to win JPEG here; overall favors pages of few colors) the idea is actually quite decent.

But exactly. The so-called OO languages are worse at the key tenets of OO paradigm: polymorphism and message passing. I didn't even attempt to clarify that in my original post so forgive me for that.

Clojure, or maybe all these related Rich Hickey talks transformed my attitude towards systems programming. Before that, the Unix philosophy. But perhaps I can't say that the Unix philosophy changed my career because I adopted it very e

I was happily living in an owned home, paying off the mortgage (with very low interests mind you!) but I ended off selling it, and staying resident as a tenant for the buyer! Reasons aside, while my monthly expenses have increased a bit (no

Not gp, but I store the old oil in a closed can, back of the shed. While usually there's a waste management charge for oils, in Finland there are occasional events when it's free to deliver oils and whatnot. So I take the few cans

Agreed, although I don't personally mandate paper-coding to pass any syntax / compiler checks, but the code should resemble the language and the algorithms be made sound without any googling or whatever.

Cool. If they bring up ksirtet then I'm forever grateful

In a sense, biased news are also fake. They don't cover the whole truth and may contain traces of nontruths. Similarly, all fake news are biased, unless they are markov chain -generated gibberish with apolitical sample data.

Thanks. watchOS I know by name, tvOS is totally new to me. Funny that it has to be its own thing.

Four?! MacOS and iOS I know, what are the other two?

Yep. Very ironic that I didn't a clear answer to that one.

And again they give a false implication that legal immigration would be at stake here. I don't mind if people support Trump or Hillary or whoever, but this intellectual dishonesty about newsreporting should cease.

This is bullshit. Not every Note 7 is going to explode, and Oculus is not going to be held liable if a Note did burn while VR'ing. This is another step away from customer freedoms, plain and simple.

Likewise. And the support for DnD of text really hinders usability in tools like Google Docs. If you select a wrong piece of text, it would be so much nicer to just start selecting the correct piece instead of first clearing out the selecti
