Wouldn’t remotely compare regex to ed. I also haven’t found a use for multiple cursors. Writing a regex is quick and easy.

Yeah, well I wouldn't have any component on the secure side have any permanent memory. PLCs (as used in the Iranian centrifuges) are basically made to re-programmed on the fly. You use them because you didn't want to hire out a te

Well I didn't add this but I would stipulate that the secure side would have almost no permanent memory at all if possible. I mean, we've been controlling boats without electronics for millenia so if you make it a priority to have

I would put all the ship systems on one bus. Then put the networked stuff on another bus. Then add a bridge that connects the two buses where you could just pull a fuse for a total disconnect. The bridge would have to have a very simple pro

I don’t think the language barrier or anything was an issue. We entered Japan and helped rebuild it and now we have some of the best relations in the world. Re-building Afghanistan was more like building Afghanistan. We weren’t fixing a col

You’re posting on an article about other things inkjet is used for and then you say the only thing you need a home inkjet printer for is for photos? ???? Photos is the last thing I’d buy an inkjet printer for. I’d be using a home inkjet to

So I found a copy of the letter that I wrote and it was just addressed to “Your Honor” and I physically dropped off the letter at the court in person to the front desk. I left my mailing address and I got back a return letter in the mail a

This happened to me in California. They completely lost all records of my payment, I was assessed a late fee, my license was suspended, and then my driving record got marks. I was unknowingly driving on a suspended license for months. Anywa

Asynchronous code has race conditions and synchronization issues too. I pray for all the code written by people who think they didn’t need to learn about synchronization because they wrote asynchronous code. And unfortunately I’ve come acro

You could embed JS into CSS in 1999 in IE5 so CSS has always been a lot of "you can do a lot of weird things."

Japan is well known for violent political clashes. There is still a very obvious house in the middle of Narita Airport that you can see when flying in or out. There are roads to it underneath the airport.

I guess the problem I find with using these statistics is that there are a whole lot of people who are... I guess to put it frankly... doing things completely wrong. For example, I regularly use my table saw but and I see accident videos on

It really depends if you're tinkering because you have no choice versus tinkering because you like it. People will absolutely tinker on cars for their entire life, but upgrade to more interesting jobs like doing engine swaps rather tha

I used to maintain some open source libraries and absolutely no change we would release would break anything and definitely not over a minor version. We even did a major rewrite that completely changed the API and we broke nothing, but it d

That might be more on the browser that you’re using. It might be saying “yes I can play this format” to a format it can barely play.

Your arguments are from the PoV of the wearer. Sure, as a wearer, you know that you are paying attention to whoever you are talking to, but as someone on the other side, I don't know that. That's not a problem with sunglasses beca

Sunglasses may detract but they actually serve one purpose -- it's too damned bright out. Having AR glasses on is totally different.

It’s quite possible they understood but didn’t have loyalty to the company.

Isn’t that just the average though? I’ve met plenty of wickedly level-headed 15 year olds and a whole lot of irresponsible 30 year olds. The variation is such to an extreme level too.

I think your recollection of history is completely off. By the time Google came on the scene, web crawling was well established. AltaVista and Lycos, among others, were already entrenched search engines. robots.txt was created by the guy th

I feel like you are cherry picking extremely high-profile projects that you were personally not involved in, so (1) sometimes estimations do end up wrong and mistakes can happen, so being able to pick any example and choosing the ones that

Umm, everyone calls them transpilers?

It's even lower. The FS7 on that list is more like $1,000 these days. (Not that I would consider all those cameras on the Netflix list cinematic. Some are geared more towards documentary.)

I think it's mostly new rockets. KAIROS was a new rocket and this was its first launch. Old rockets that haven't been changed in decades like the Soyuz stopped exploding long ago. As another example, Toyota Tacoma trucks are known

Mobile apps are even worse than Flash and those reasons haven't hampered their adoption. Flash died because both Apple and Microsoft wanted it dead. Possibly justifiably.

Since a whiteboard is much more a visual thing, I imagine the spec should spend a lot of space defining the visual elements like specifying the control points of the Beizer curves because where a line is drawn and what it overlaps matters a

I want to make some major corrections. So Bukkit wasn’t the first. It was hMod in 2010. Everyone came over from hMod because hey0 disappeared for a hot minute in late 2010. Everyone from Bukkit came from hMod, although there were also holdb

If my friend said that to me, I’d tell that if they’ve been doing stuff and getting experience, then they do have something to offer because they’ve obviously completed work and now know how to do something. Not everyone needs to be solving

I think humans having their own culture and ultimately worldview is just a fact of life and the best that we can do is to learn to coexist and work with each other. But we don’t have to work side by side for 40 hours a week. Why make both o
