Exactly. Does anyone know what are the difficulties to provide a pleasant experience for Inkscape on Mac? Gimp looks decent. With Inkscape I wouldn't need anything else, really. Both are amazing.

Long polling doesn't allow for multiple polls on one connection. What it gives you is an reply only when there is something to reply with. Otherwise it just keeps connection open and waiting. It's a mechanism that mimics push, fro

If your change must touch too many other things that may be a sign of tight coupling. Not a good sign. Maybe it would be good to think about splitting things apart as a separate lib, or service. Then you'd be able to make small, safe,

There is a streaming platform Rakuten Viki (quite popular among Korean drama lovers) which already has a language learning tools as a part of the product. I haven't used it personally because they are focusing on Korean, which is not m

Never heard about the laptop. But general rule is - not yours don't touch. Except for a bike and umbrellas. I know people who lost wallet, phone, I lost phone twice and few smaller things, ex. new pair of shoes in the train... Always r

That is not true. Maybe except for the stations' names. Ten years ago you couldn hardly find any English on the streets. Tokyo 2020 changed a lot.

Practically, Runbox gives you much more aliases. You can use their own set of domains for each alias which is not small. Can't tell exact number now but around 30 or so. Really handy. There is another problem though. After you've

That's why smart AI must also have smart scaling factors. Maybe some randomness. Maybe some imperfections, like players do. I think we should design the best and smartest possible AI and scale it down for average players. Currently we

Someone already opened an issue to make it ignore files specified in `.gitignore`. A `fd` is doing it, `rg` is doing it, now someone wants this to behave the same. I don't know. Maybe I have some really strange expectations but when I

I beg to disagree. It's just a number, like any other number. And not even that long, really. Instead of adding something automatically, it would be much better to allow users to put space if they wish so and remove it when processing.

There was a TED talk about it. The team created a vest giving blind people a tactile feedback to their back. Another use case was to give people additional "senses" for them to be able to control some devices - drone, or maybe arm

Not the OP, but I'd say - it's not about anyone controlling your actions. It's about the way of conveying the message. It's about controlling yourself so you wouldn't just break open and flood other with whatever yo

So let's start with better education maybe? In Japan each ward/city office publishes online manual with detailed explanation and, probably more important, with illustrated examples.

Don't you think your condition is special and do not apply to majority? But even if you are a picky eater, the solution seems easy. Just put on your plate enough for a tip of your tongue. If you don't like it it's fine, not m

Not OP and I think too it's not about the boss. But marketing and sales as a service could be a help. I guess this is at least a part of the job that investors are doing for the startups. Maybe not marketing and sales but guidance to g

That's a great summary. Sadly, from what I see, hard key support is marginal.

Difference is subtle but outcome significant. When iterating over people - everyone will often think about themselves and what they have to do today. When iterating over tasks - everyone is involved in common goal. You are focusing on tasks

Maybe magic of department store. You put the same thing in Tokyu Store and the same in depaato, make sure to overprice it. People will buy from depaato. Probably for a gift. It just works like that in Japan. Plenty of KitKats is in my local

Is it less boring because they added few flavors? Not to mention that Kit Kat in Japan is really just another kind of cheap sweets among hundreds of others. Is there anything to learn here? Is the article thoughts provoking? I thought those

As I said - ASAP. I come to my manager and ask "hey, can you spare N minutes for me?" If he can't, which obviously may happen, then I ask for convenient but close enough time when he's available. The form is up to me and
