This is PlanetPoker[0] The gist of it is their algorithm never chose the last card in the array to swap with, and the last card was never guaranteed to be the last card. They also committed the common mistake of implementing the "naive

I think you're just misunderstanding. He is not talking about the origin of the word, "poop deck" in normal English vernacular. He is referring to why these Cardists call worn out decks, "poop decks": because the vi

Most sites right now concatenate their _entire_ javascript blob rather than the "necessary" javascript blob for the current page. There are arguably other uses for minification and compression, but not needing to concatenate is go

Well that's what the two kids in the article were hoping for. Los Feliz is pretty affluent and trendy.

Yep. A lot of NIMBYism preventing that.

Wow this is pretty amazing! When I played the PSP version of Wipeout, I always wondered if I could extract the game, extract the track data and add my own tracks into the game.

This is their second product. They have a private npm repo service, aka npm enterprise.

> "50/50 chance node will completely collapse within 10 years or so" Wow, way to be real assertive with that statement. Hedging your bets for a prediction that won't really matter in 10 years. I am not sure why you th

Not really a question about whether I trust other devs. It's more that these devs admitted to causing harm, and seem to think fooling their users is a good idea. Then when called out on it, they say, "people need to relax, just a

I wonder why they don't use a stream JSON parser like oboe.js?

Well this is depressing. I was always meaning to install ML, now I'm not sure I can trust the developer for doing something so stupid and not feeling and contrition for it. Is al3x also g3gg0? so a warning to everyone being pranked

All _underground_ stations on the BART system don't have any bathrooms available to the general public. I learned this (almost) the hard way when I needed to use the restroom and got off at Lake Merritt (or whichever underground statio

Funny my sister found an old restaurant guide to SF a few months ago and gave it to me as a joke. Not sure about the _exact_ date ATM, but I believe sometime around the dotcom bust. My plan was somewhat similar to the title of the article b

Omniref also spammed me via either npm or github, telling me my project was on their site and that I should "claim" ownership for the documentation for it. Omniref is also a YC startup. I found it pretty annoying because they&#x27

Maybe one reason, but not the number one reason... I mean it took Microsoft ~5 years just to update from IE6 to 7. That alone can explain their downfall. They waited until developers had almost 6+ years to use and evangelize a non-IE browse

The only place that seems relatively sane (and relatively affordable) for families in SF is Noe Valley. If you have _tons_ of money, probably further north like Pac Heights. And maybe, _maybe_ the area between Haight/Duboce Triangle ne

Shouldn't you get in trouble for taking footage shot by someone else without permission? Assuming you mean you bought the shot footage, then the drone operator is responsible for getting the right clearance to commercially film with a

This is completely unacceptable, but the State will probably get away with it. If the study he found showed the machines paid out _more_ than it should (but still positive to the State) you bet there would be audits of the machine.

I missed the Q&A question about standardization, and that alleviates some of the concerns about how this will be play out. But again, the concern is that Google is going to go ahead with this even before any approval. So when every sing

If you were not on the web from ~1998-2004, and then had to dig out of the glut of crap that IE4 dumped behind it from 2005-Now, you probably think this is cynical. It's merely considering the historical record of what happens when you

I don't really like this, or at least how it sounds. 1. Google implements this 2. Chrome becomes the fastest browser by a wide margin 3. Other browsers die or become minor players 4. Google leverages this to enforce their own changes i

Bootstrap. The flamewar wasn't over semicolons initially, the minifier used by Bootstrap was wrong but a work around was to add semicolons.

Prob not from Google/Angular themselves. Maybe someone will be willing to maintain a 1.x branch for support $ ala what some people did for Rails 2.9.2+
