I've actually been working on turning this idea into a product for the past year or two. Looks like I'm not the only one to have thought of this!

I'd also like to know. I'm considering writing some for fun in GNU APL right now.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm actually working on a tool right now that uses a similar process, but haven't had much of a formal background. Looks like I'll be adding quite a bit to my reading list!

I play with moderate regularity and have actually never used Dwarf Therapist. (I still regularly consult the wiki though.) The turning point for me that made the game a lot more fun was realizing I could modify the config to set a populatio

Any recommendations for introductory reading in this area?

Surprisingly I've found this isn't quite true for match vs. search in python. You would think that searching using a regex starting with a ^ anchor might avoid scanning the whole string but it will do so anyway. It makes a huge pe

This sounds like a backwards description of mmap. This is probably what they're using on the backend. I'm not sure if Windows has this as a feature, but any unixy system will.

Won't nuclear waste decay to safe levels long before the fiberglass windmill blades that last twenty years break down into something that no longer takes space in a landfill? Not to mention the significantly lower volume of waste.

At what point has New York violated his civil liberties through sheer red tape? Is this something the ACLU would pick up?

This reminds me quite a lot of the typical smalltalk editor window.

I second this! I spent a few days of summer vacation in highschool slowly working my way through this and it was mind expanding.

I think it's worse when they flip it around and inappropriately use a noun as a verb: "Let's solution this."

I work at a company that operates much like this. I've passed up on more lucrative opportunities in the past because it's such a great place to work as a developer as a result.

In terms of oil transport alone it's worse. Oil is spilled at a significantly higher rate when transported by rail.

I've actually been meaning to write something up about this. I've found you can get fairly good error messages from a parser combinator style parser just by saving the deepest location you successfully parsed to and the parser you

I think a component of the issue is that we've spent at least the last decade teaching kids that they should think for themselves as long as what they're thinking is something that an "expert" told them was true. This co

Somewhere in another thread someone suggested that amazon had a program and incentives for employees to represent them positively online so maybe it is just poor PR on their part. Still, these days it's hard to take anything at face va

Absolutely amazon. I take your point, but when fighting against a much larger organization this is exactly the kind of guerilla warfare tactic you'd need to come out ahead. This kind of information campaign is exactly the sort of thing

Is it possible this is some galaxy brain plan by those promoting amazon unions to undermine amazon's credibility?

The tube goes through the hole in the top of the screw and acts as a handle/lever to use when driving it into the ground. It serves a useful and well defined purpose.

Hey Rodger! The simplicity of Applejak inspired me to work on my own toy APL in the k family and I've really enjoyed it so far. Optimizing for cache coherency and linear memory layout has been the most fun I've had programming in

The mining process is _how_ transactions are verified and recorded. Bitcoin doesn't work without it. Mining is a misnomer. You aren't finding bitcoin. It's a reward for solving a problem that proves you participated in helpin

Someone has already suggested mastadon, but I think Scuttlebutt is a much better solution for what you want. Totally decentralized, persistent, no need for a hosted server. You can set it up in a few minutes and if you're only using it

Thanks for the response! That clarifies a lot! If I'm selling mostly to businesses does that mean most requirements are avoided? Does that differ between desktop and web? For context, it's, roughly speaking, a tool for making gant

My point here is that it's largely not a drivers/support issue at this point. A crazy amount of hardware is supported.

I've been using linux for over a decade and never even _heard_ of this or something similar happening. AFAIK the only typical way to configure these things is through the BIOS, well below the OS level. It sounds like something got bork
