For sure. But there are countless other examples of people being conquered too, all over the world, and not just by Europeans. There is no justification needed, other than that's what humans did back then. It was a much more primit

Aren't all civilizations far older and more complex than history can account for? We don't really know how the pyramids arrived, or a detailed history of England back very far -- who created Stonehenge? It's interesting that

If I remember correctly it was at least their first 100,000 users. Every person who signed up got $20 and $20 more for each referral; that's paying to acquire your first users directly. Was eventually trimmed down to $10, then $5 bef

Not sure there is a hard and fast rule on this one. It sure worked out for Paypal.

Then humans are as well, yes? What exactly is the magic in human cognition that is impossible to replicate in silicon?

Opening a window is just a bit too expensive in the -20 degree weather we're getting around here right now :-)

That's interesting, I was just linking the article because it was talking specifically about co2 and NASA recommendations. In fairness, it didn't give any hard numbers on what to expect.

Went looking for devices for the bedroom, but ran into an article about plants that might help in that setting: https://thewgnews.com/planting-hope-air-cleaning-house-plant...

It's not just campaign contributions though. When people step out of government they're often stepping into very cushy and lucrative jobs provided by people they helped while in government. You don't get to make that transi

Git's UX isn't that bad if you're only cloning projects to build them locally and keep them updated. The UX only gets really crufty as you use more and more of the features.

Not everyone stays a beginner forever, and it's nice to have a tool that doesn't play to the lowest common denominator. It's really not that hard to just do a "git commit -a" if you want to avoid staging.

How can that be true? The kernel at least, knows how much you have and knows to block consumption until it crosses the desired threshold.

Last time I experienced something like this there was a company wide meeting for an hour and a half where everything was explained. When we went back to our desks, there were pink slips waiting for anyone who got let go. No waiting or won

Did that help someone who wanted to work on clj or cljs inside Vim for instance? It's not really a comparable solution until it's multi-language, multi-editor, cross-platform, and supported by many different teams and communities

That would go a long way to solving the problem once and for all. It would be nice if Mozilla would provide the ability to install private signing keys to the browser.

The idea is to protect users, not hurt them in any way. Anyone can sign and run their own add-ons, or offer those add-ons for others to use. The only thing being restricted now is who can distribute their addons via addons.mozilla.org, wh

Yeah, but these guys blitz out great moves like crazy, I just don't think an extra minute is enough time to capitalize on any slight inaccuracies induced by the time pressure black is under. I could be wrong of course, which is why I

That really seems to favor black by a rather large margin. Wonder if there are any stats on the win ratios for each color in this format. And how do they decide who get's each color?

Hadn't heard about this before, and it does look interesting. But not sure why you're linking to it in this context without comment? Especially since it seems to be a moribund project.

Since you're in the mood to speculate on legal matters, in which legal jurisdiction is it likely illegal for users to do this? All of them? What if you're sailing in international waters at the time of your post?

For some definition of "works" since the analysis doesn't consider unintended effects or potential adverse long-term consequences. This all seems joyful while the technique is being applied to those with whom we disagree, le

Nobody is saying charities should be abolished, just that they should receive no tax exemption since it's so easy to abuse. Assuming this would generate a lot more revenue for the government, the tax rate could be reduced to make this

You might not like it, but it might be true; we don't actually know for sure. What we do know, is that someone with Linus' personality and character traits is the person who did get this monumental thing accomplished for the bett

From the article conclusion: The architecture’s resource requirements scale linearly with the number of supported sessions to over 115,000 given today’s 20 nm devices.
