Just curious, why do you describe that as a "commercial" plugin? The source code seems to be Apache-licensed.

It sounds like you're talking about a totally different question. OP is interested in subscribing to changes in the results of a query at runtime, not changes to the text of the query itself.

The blog post's title is an homage to a series of papers from the 70s, which formulated the Scheme programming language and the beginnings of what we now know as "functional programming". https://en.wikipedia.org&#

Yeah, I think the biggest factor preventing such a simple design from working well on Mars would be the (current) lack of anything equivalent to GPS. In order to navigate safely, especially during takeoff and landing, you need a reasonable

Depending on how long ago you checked it out (relative to the ~9 years since Glacier was first announced) it might be worth another look. It's still quite expensive if you ever need to retrieve data in a hurry, but it used to also ha

First of all, I'd slightly push back on the way you've framed your question. I agree there's a ton of crap in the world of anime, but whether a show has been created with care and thoughtfulness doesn't necessarily cor

Yes? If something is possible but inconvenient, that's clearly better than it being completely impossible.

I agree that my explanation is simplified, but not in a way that affects my point. Maybe I didn't explain it well, so I'll try again. Imagine you're trying to draw a flat map of the curved surface of the earth. There are many

If that were the only difference, then FOVO would be equivalent to a 2D image warp. But the authors claim they're doing something different, and their examples demonstrate that they're actually moving objects relative to each othe

I'm not sure what you think PageRank is, but it doesn't produce links between documents as output; it requires them as input.

I assume you mean "former", not "latter"?

Yeah, I was curious about that as well. The README file links to a Google Groups discussion about the name change that seems to have been memory-holed, but apparently it was renamed to avoid confusion with a NetBSD component: https:/&

If some business models have a harder time providing equal accommodations to disabled people than others, why is it "unequal" for those business models to pay a correspondingly larger cost? Seems like a pretty reasonable negative

If a company has fewer than 15 employees, it's exempt from the ADA's requirements. If it has 15 employees or more, then the law assumes that it's reasonable for the company to provide service (e.g. by reassigning a non-allerg

This is awesome. I can't help but feel that "bemani" is badly misclassified compared to its immediate neighbors, though.

The original theoretical justification for why the EmDrive was supposed to work was also wrong. The idea was to use a cavity shaped like a truncated cone, such that the forces on the big end and the small end don't precisely cancel.

Could you share a link, then? The prices I've seen for the Intel NUCs are more like $100+, even used, compared to $30 for the cheapest Raspberry Pi 4.

"20X more telemetry", in terms of data usage, is a pretty meaningless statistic on its own (unless it's large enough to affect your mobile data cap or something). For instance, I would consider it a much bigger privacy violat

Almost every x86 board on the market is way more expensive and/or way more power-hungry than the Raspberry Pi. The only one I'm aware of that's in the same ballpark is the Atomic Pi, which was apparently a limited production
