Um. There is no S in IoT. I think that's the joke.

Several things surprised me, both in the blog post and the other comments. (Though hpcjoe's and enriquot's comments took care of the "What? Fortran is dead?" reaction.) - (Comment) "array operations, ... are slower

Because human beings can be described in four bits. Oh, four bits isn't enough? Four scales, then. That fixes it.

Agreed. Though it's fairly simple to opt out now, just delete the Facebook app. The browser still works just fine.

Good link, thanks. But I don't find the points/comments reliable indicators of things I want to read. For example, I only read one out of the Top 10 today.

It seems a mistake to format JSON as non-JSON text (SEN Format) in the name of "pretty". That will inevitably lead to copy/paste and monkey-see errors.

How about a peppa.h to generate a parser for the PEG syntax - like in the comments of the other examples - so users can define parsers in a natural way?

I'm guessing you didn't mean to say "An open discord is needed" but thanks for the humor. :)

Wow. The written equivalent of a YouTube conspiracy video. The factual claims aren't facts, e.g., the NYT had nothing to do with the demise of local papers, if you could point to a single cause it would be the loss of classified advert

That link seems to be broken, at least for me. Hangs establishing secure connection in Chrome and times out.

Really? We did almost all our Christmas shopping on Amazon and had no complaints. Other businesses delivered late. Last night I ordered soft drinks from Amazon Fresh and they were delivered in less than 12 hours. I do agree with sloaken. Re

It won't be a problem for local republican politicians as long as people keep moving to already democratic locations like Austin, whose impact has already been gerrymandered away. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/

It's a great place to escape taxes, as long as you don't need any services like public schools or Medicaid.

The trick employed by the "good taste" solution is to ignore the type of the object containing the pointer, which is different for the head, and focus only on the type of the object pointed to, which is the same for all the pointe

It's not useful to speculate about things that are unfalsifiable. That's why Penrose wants these things to be observable traces from before the big bang.

Typical brain-teaser interview question that will have absolutely no correlation to on-the-job performance but makes the interviewer feel really smart. I thought Google had gotten away from these.

In the US, credit card companies don't allow sellers to disclose credit card fees or charge separately for them. You do sometimes see a discount for cash, which is probably due to lax contract enforcement, and, of course, many sellers

And yet, almost all workers live somewhere. Common strategies not mentioned in the article: 1. They live in areas with below average rents. 2. They allocate more than 30% of income to rent. 3. They find other workers to share rent with. 4.

That would be an excellent question if you had any intention of trying to answer it. As a rhetorical question, not very useful.

The article doesn't live up to the title (on Hacker News). Or, really, the actual title. SaaS means nothing to the developer of an iPhone/iPad app. Apple offers distribution, collection, and a limited form of discoverability. In a

Pretty thin. Even ignoring the accuracy of the source data, there are plenty of outliers on that graph. Before I'd assume vitamin D has any effect at all on COVID-19 death rate, I'd compare Sweden and Scotland.
