Has been said many times, but Google+ was hoping to be as good as Google Reader and Google Buzz already were for people. Was a surprisingly good social layer on top of article aggregation that largely worked by leveraging GMail. What they

I'm assuming it was going to say lines of code. It is highlighting that more was deleted than added.

The general fault I see here, is that we don't typically make our work tracking tools so that they look at the code for us. Instead, our ticketing systems only have what we have put in them, directly. This is obviously obnoxious when

Feels like this should dive into accuracy and precision? And for the next fun number to look into, try declared calories on food packaging. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking you can't use these values if they are not perf

This hints at a major misunderstanding that, frankly, drives me nuts. If people are getting paid in stock, they pay taxes on the value of the stock they are paid with. Can they take a loan on existing stock? Yes. You can leverage assets

I confess "not invented here" is a problem I think too many people focus on. Lots of things are redone all of the time. That said, feature creep is absolutely a killer. And it is easy to see how these will stack on each other wh

I think it is fair to assume they meant before symptoms? Which, yes, your heart rate is a symptom. No, it isn't one most people consider.

I would focus a little differently from the folks talking about the technological copies that are possible. Copying people and things is just somewhat natural for people to do. And yes, you can somewhat copy a performance that you see. Bu

In this, isn't it more that Garmin has been making sports watches for a long long time? And were given the grace by their customer base to just keep making that particular function better. You could probably find the same with bike co

Odd, yaml-ts-mode exists? Did they change how it gets its parser?

Fair that I shouldn't have said it was specific to banking.

Related to this, I find the "default to round numbers" influence interesting on things like minimal speeds. Where my understanding is many metric based systems have a smallest max speed of 30km/h. Which is between the commo

Isn't this, essentially, backing into double-entry accounting for all things banking? Which, fair, it makes sense.

Isn't this literally noted in the article? The article even points out that the RFC is from before normative words were standardized for hard requirements.

More directly, how many would want to pay for it to happen? Easy to say they would want the upgrade. Hard to say they would want increased rents.

I can get behind that message, to a large extent. The rest of the complaints are largely all downstream of that, though? The reason places don't have the same cheap food options that denser locations have is pretty much fully down to

So many odd questions raised in this article. Literally each section seems to just hand wave a lot of things. And, look, I am all for attacking some regulations; but I have to confess the requirement for multiple sinks is going to be far d

Linux doesn't really require you to think about it, necessarily. More that odds are high if you have tinkered with something recently, you are more likely to do so again. Think of it as a reverse lindy number. (And this can be frust

Nice! I have a css based animation at the bottom of the page I was playing with. Considered trying to do it with 3d animations, but at that point I was assuming something like the main article here would be needed to keep the faces cohere

Fun article! Makes me want to play with prolog again. I put together something looking at a rubik's cube as a permutation of numbers a while back. https://taeric.github.io/cube-permutations-1.html I remember realizi

Agreed. Amusingly, a lot of what makes them worse than some older alternatives is that they "fix" things constantly by reworking how to use them. Older paths may be bad, but effort has been made into getting them to work.

I can only wish I was that comically gifted. :D

Ha! Ok, yeah, I definitely missed that aspect of the joke. :D

I think ours is an LG. Could be something faulty with the sensor in yours, if it is still newish, worth a support call to them to see if they can fix it.

Ok, I think I can square these ideas. You are pointing out that "adaptation" and "evolution" are largely about changes in genetics among a population. Regardless of how that change came to be, it is expected that the c

I had thought this was the main driver, but we washed some of our nicer clothes and they came out just fine. I have a cashmere sweater we accidentally sent through the cycle that didn't shrink.

I was just offering the amusing anecdote that I have a 30 year old shirt that doesn't shrink. I used to treat it with kids gloves to keep it from doing so. Note that I fully understand it for the anecdotal weight that it has. That is

I should have been clear, I also expected that there were changes to the clothes. I was just more surprised after we ran some sweaters through the cycle on accident, only to find that they did just fine.

I literally have a t-shirt from 1997 that doesn't shrink in our machines. :D
