It’s commonly thought that the seeds are the spiciest part of a chili, which is the impression Matticus_Rex seems to be under. In fact, the heat comes from the white pith (which they mentioned) and ridges around the seeds.

The one topic from “hard” computer science that applies to package management is graph theory. Inverting a binary tree is one of the simplest operations you can do on a graph. Google may have been interested in Howell because of Homebrew, b

Yep, it’s network effects. All my friends were impressed by Square Cash’s ability to instantly transfer to their bank accounts for a small fee, but nobody wants to install another cash app (and another virtual wallet) to use with just one f

You’re right, but I doubt the people making such hypothetical laws have ever ollied a curb ;)

Curb cuts in LA also include a sheet of small yellow nubs right before the street. The ADA calls these “detectable warning systems” [1], intended for sight-impaired folks. I feel bad because I always assumed they were there to interfere wit

That's an interesting workaround. The question I meant to raise was whether a workaround is justified, or whether software developers should just maintain the apps they sell.

The Mac App Store makes it impossible to charge for software customers have already paid for? Tragic.

I didn’t mean to imply that Disconnect is compromised. But I think the background of the team would prompt a fully open source product on every platform in order to establish trust. Until that happens, why not use a blocker whose team does

by stirner 8y ago
Disconnect was co-founded by an ex-Google DoubleClick (ad) engineer, and hired an ex-NSA (dragnet surveillance) engineer. There are tracker-blocking adblockers for every platform that aren't made by people with anti-privacy backgrounds

There are many reasons why you might use a systems programming language [1]. > System programming requires a great degree of hardware awareness. Its goal is to achieve efficient use of available resources, either because the software its

Neither OCaml[1] nor Haskell[2] has performance competitive with Rust. It’s impressive how many high-level functional features Rust was able to include, but it’s ultimately a systems language—and it’s unique precisely because it’s a fast sy

I checked the date to make sure this wasn't an old April Fools' joke. The new design language is minimalistic, but it's not simple, and doesn't reflect the programming language at all.

When Dropbox deliberately circumvented Apple's security features to make itself difficult to remove [1], was the company's #1 core value of "Be worthy of trust" in mind, or was that only added in retrospect? [1] http:&#

When I say libav*, I and most people mean libavformat, libavcodec, libswscale, etc.; the C libraries that form the basis of the command line tool and are widely used elsewhere. libav (no wildcard) is a fork of FFmpeg that is broadly focused

Not just command line. libav* is used in pretty much everything that deals with arbitrary AV formats/codecs.

I wrote a small tool that translates AdBlock Plus filter lists into hosts file format [1]. It can only translate simple domain-name rules but might be of interest to people in this thread. [1] https://github.com/wwalexander&

I implemented this pretty naively a while back [1]. I was interested in how yours was so fast. I expected some sort of complex heuristic; cool to see that your solution is straightforward! [1] https://github.com/wwalexander&

ABP’s filter list syntax is underspecified with vague, conversational English; some members of the community have tried to formally document the more common pieces of syntax but it’s far from complete. Instead of using a simple-to-parse CFG

dd is not an acceptable benchmark. You need to eliminate the effects of buffering/caching to get accurate results.
