   From time to time I find myself daydreaming about an alternative timeline where instead of C, it was the Wirth-family of languages that dominated.

   Really? So Microsoft just provides name resolution, and the data goes peer-to-peer? Or maybe this “connection” is actually going through your servers and we have to take your word for not peeking inside the packets?

   Is there a browser extension that warns you about the various tracker scripts a website is utilizing?

   Saudi Arabia? China? Neither was a democracy to begin with. Also it’s funny that you’re referring to the US - the greatest supporter of Saudi Arabia - as the noble protector of democracy and human rights. Seems like someone drank too much K

   That’s exactly the reason why the iOS Mail app asks you whether you want to attach an image in small/medium/large/original size.

   I'd like to interject for a moment here, and pitch my idea about what I call the "Web 4.0". It's basically a binary equivalent of HTML, without the many inconveniences of HTML for content providers. Web 4.0 pages are obf

   >The goal is to deliver content and experiences that people actually want Wrong. 99% of the time the goal is to sell ads. The tricky stuff is to bundle it with something that people actually want (or think they want).

    Does GreaseMonkey suggests you scripts based on the current site you're visiting?

    Thanks! I'd love to have a browser extension which automatically augments shitty websites with community-sourced javascript snippets. E.g. you'd visit idk Forbes.com, and saw that the site is unusable b/c of some shitty undis

    I think he should just go on with his research and don’t bother with understanding every obscure reference in papers. One can grasp the core ideas surprisingly well even when skipping over proofs and formulas. And when the time comes to wri

    Just don’t pay attention to it. Visual snow is like floaters; both are perfectly normal. Some people notice them and then become obsessed; others barely ever notice them.

    I’ve been familiar with this idea for a while, although whenever it comes up, I can’t help but think about Hitchens’s razor: “What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence”

    I’m using the Feedly iOS app. I went to “Add content”, and it opened a sidebar with a searchbox which supposedly lets you “search” for content by “title, URL or #topic”. I’ve entered the URL of the archive.org feed ( http://arch

    But how am I supposed to tackle the complex state management on our newsletter registration form without Redux???

    Feedly is a load of crap. They are force-feeding (no pun intended) you their “””curated””” (read: sponsored) news sources while making it intentionally hard to add your own sources. Last time I’ve checked there’s not even a way to enter an

    Is there a service that creates “bootleg” RSS feeds of sites that don’t provide one themselves? If not, why don’t we create one? An RSS feed of pure content, without clickbait, paywalls, like buttons, javascript tracking nonsense...

    It has the same limitations as HTML. For HTML, these limitations were circumvented by burying the platform under an ever increasing heap of javascript crap.

    B-but you can’t have javascript within RSS!

    Hm. I thought using auto was the recommended, modern way of writing C++.

    Certainly the latter. I can imagine proof of space implemented by requiring nodes to store terabytes of random bytes, and compute the hash of specific subsets of this huge blob based on the last block in the ledger.

    There’s one thing you cannot do with manual layout, and that is composability. If you write a custom container, but want the contents of the container to provide sizing information upwards, you can do that pretty easily with AutoLayout. Con

    I’d appreciate a curated list of software vendors who don’t run these kind of field tests/experiment/whatever on their users. Extra points if their products are not filled with bloated “”””analytics”””” crapware either.

    >Alternatively almost all volume of n-sphere is close to the surface. How does this go against intuition? Intuition from 1/2/3d tells me that the volume of an N-ball is O(r^N), and indeed it is the case in higher dimensions. Th

    I’m glad you didn’t downvote me! The faster we can get this thing going, the earlier we can get a tabula rasa ;) Until then, keep riding the tiger!
