Me, too! I was super active way back in the day and managed to write a pretty highly-voted answer, as well as many normal. I really enjoyed it, and randomly getting free SO merch in the mail was an awesome way to foster loyalty. Still in

That was fun, but in a semi-scary way. I have major respect for the source, so when Mr Norvig states that this (the "Emphasis Operator"): sigh = 3 ['oh', 'good', 'grief', *sigh* ['drat&

Wow I had almost forgotten those names, thanks!

Ah, thanks I clearly read poorly. Good to know that was at least in there, that reigns in my cynicism somewhat. :)

My two takes from this article are: 1. The author does a good job in explaining why certain, very concrete, pieces of UI implementation make the UI "dark" 2. The content doesn't match the title at all, there is no analysis or

Dead? The schedule page [1] has recent and upcoming instances scheduled, at least: Ludum Dare 54 — September 29th - October 2nd, 2023 Ludum Dare 55 — April 12th - 14th, 2024 Ludum Dare 56 — October 4th - 7th, 2024 I never t

Bosch professional tools ("blue") are in a giant battery-sharing alliance with dozens of manufacturers nobody has heard of [1] because pro. Obviously Bosch DIY tools ("green") are in another alliance [2]. Much sharing,

Interesting that this uses the coding convention of putting parentheses around the expression in return statements. So return (1); instead of just return 1; I remember using the former style as I tried (in frustration) to

That's an even simpler (=better, often) theory! Thanks!

Well sure but that was the point of my comment's parent.

Hey array indexing is postfix, so let's just use the old "arrays decay to pointers" staple, but obviously in reverse: typedef struct { int a; int b; } foo; int main(void) { foo one = { 1

Following the link, and a few more, describes at as changing "when volume buttons are pressed during high CPU load". That is perhaps random-seeming, but also way different from actually being reandom. I have never used a (modern)

Meta: Their de-cloaking blog post is also in the front page right now [1]. Edit: changed link, meant for it to go to the story here, not to the blog post itself. Paste error. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3935692

Meta: This seems to need a (2019) tag in the title. No idea if it ages well (I'm not a web dev) but my guess would be "no".

Very impressive, and it's of course quite clear that the OP didn't just walk off the street into Blender HQ. Many years of experience at Unity is probably quite helpful when it comes to knowing the domain. :) This change [1] was m

That is only true in some environments, since it's not in fact part of the language specification. See the manual page's [1] "STANDARDS" section, which reads: getopt() POSIX.1-2008. getopt_long() g

I know, that's why I wrote that the code looked like it was written by someone who wanted to write in C (as opposed to someone who wanted to write in C++, a different language).

It means "printed circuit board assembly" so yes.

This was very good! I was really happy when the first code on the page, for once, did not look like it was written by someone writing C when they would much rather write something else. This line: struct article *my_article = malloc(s

I am no expert but I imagine one important tradeoff is between cartridge power (necessary for long range with sufficient energy) and cartridge size/mass, these systems have high rates of fire (because trying to hit very fast-moving tar

The sustained power levels are listed as: 5V: 4.5A 12V: 1.0A -12V: 0.1A I get 4 4.5+12 1+12*0.1=35.7 W from that, but then there has to be some losses too in that 5 V-regulation, but 60 W is probably a bit extreme. No id

It might also be a way to indicate that you can't just use a USB A-to-C "charging" cable, and connect it to an old-school 5 V-only USB adapter. It needs the modern power-delivery things which are only available over USB C. Th

Very cool! I love that it's so accessible to do this kind of thing these days, and the addition of a 3D-printed custom case is awesome. I do think there's a tiny bit of humble brag with the author's skill level, but that work

Depending on your level of coffee nerd/snob factor, "doing it wrong" can indeed be a source of embarrassment. I don't think this is limited to coffee snobs, either.

Wow this is really really good! Much low-level trickery, cool! MIPI DSI [1] is not an open standard, but it has been 10+ years since I dealt with it so perhaps documentation is easier to find now. Many of the "slides" in the video
