I'm becoming interested in microcontrollers but I know next to nothing about them. Would anyone care to explain the fundamental difference between this project and Nerves?

I take these results with a grain of salt, since the quality of news on social media varies widely from timeline to timeline. If all you follow on your social media platform of choice is recognized, credible news outlets then you'd con

I agree, exceptionally well done. I very much appreciated the onboarding process, especially regarding privacy. I also very much appreciate the fact that it only monitors whitelisted sites, rather than just blanket tracking everything I do.

Why should first-class concurrency needs be required to script in Elixir? This question seems to imply that Python is somehow a default language and special requirements must be needed to justify writing in something else. Elixir is gener

I think the disturbing problem lies in the proliferation of sources of misinformation, not in the motivations of said sources. We live in an age where information distribution is so cheap and convenient that everyone has ended up bombarde

Back in my day we had to walk 20 miles to get to school -- uphill both ways! As if the only way to gauge quality is to forever compare to the technologies of the past. Python was a great improvement on its peers in its heyday, but people, t

Lisps are pretty pleasant to write in, and having metaprogramming support in your language is a game changer.

I think I pretty clearly posited a thought experiment where mind-reading technology exists.

Just to be totally clear, you mean that so long as the government has a warrant, they should be allowed access into our innermost thoughts and feelings?

Once upon a time, people did not carry devices around that logged their every move, and police work was still regularly conducted. Currently, there does not exist any technology to read minds. If there were, do you think that the government

I'm not sure I agree. I think everything users want is achievable. The current Firefox allows addons and ad blocking via addons. The Fenix update improves speed and adds some new features. Both the current and the new undermine Blink d

That's good to hear. Can you point to where Mozilla says they will support addons and ad blocking in Fenix?

They certainly are compared to say, Javascript or Python. There is nothing wrong with being fringe.

They have a lot in common. They are both fringe languages that compile to run on more popular established VMs, both with strong support for meta programming, both encouraging a functional programming approach, and both employed to tackle ro

This is just how I feel about clojure. I enjoy using a language with design tightly controlled by the people closest to its vision.

And how about the ability to purchase in-game items now?

by vaer-k 7y ago
Give me a break. This is absolutely implied. Else what is the point of investing gaming time in the service developing your identity and game item inventory?

by vaer-k 7y ago
This is a simplistic and specious argument. I think owning a game in 2019 (where so much of what is owned is a service, an environment, and a virtual identity within the game's universe) amounts to much more. So you're saying if y

Can you search by any duration, like googler can, or does duckduckgo prevent you from implementing that? That's my biggest complaint about ddg: can't even search by past year
