I find the entire analogy dubious. When I see a link, I don’t know what sort of ads or JS is on the page it leads to. By blocking ads I am not renegotiating any transactions, because I never entered any transaction. If anything, it seems th

It may be prettier, but: 1. Links aren't underlined[1]. 2. The links in the footer are indistinguishable from normal text. 3. Links in the menu on top are white, while most links are blue. In general, the site lacks consistency around

I’d think SSH (indirectly: git) and TLS would be more widespread applications of public key cryptography.

I can tell you that on my death bed I’ll be proud I successfully migrated to Scotland and assimilated there, if I manage that. Getting a good photo of a lynx and a snow leopard in Himalayas are definitely going to be unforgettable too. Thou

Lol. :) In Glasgow and the Highlands maybe. But not in Edinburgh. Maybe that’s a weird thing to do, but I’m probably going to take private English lessons… while in UK. That’s because I don’t expect people in normal conversations to correct

I’m going to try migrating to Scotland. Skill-wise: I want to get better at spoken English. I’m pretty fluent, but from time to time I forget a word and it’s still a bit more stressful to speak English than my native language, even if more

You can also include JavaScript in SVG. That is used e.g. by the flamegraphs generated with Brendan Gregg’s Flamegraph.pl script. Consequently, when you open them in a classic image viewer, they’re static, but when you open them in a web br

And yet I can’t access several month old threads. When I try to open them, they’re in a perpetually-loading state, with gray rectangles in place of text. Old-style forums are a lot more durable and more neatly organised.

Your present prediction is the cause. You could even be predicting something that is logically impossible, i.e. there is no potentiality, still the prediction (in the present) would cause you to do something about it.

That thought predicting the future is in the present though, not in the future.

By that logic if for whatever reason you skip breakfast tomorrow, a non-existent thing will have been a cause of your actions.

I have a bunch of 3.5” external spinning hard drives, which are about 5 years at this point. Contrary to internet legends that that’s a recipe for data loss and really they should be in a NAS checking their integrity 24/7, they exhibit

To me the most annoying thing is that when I switch to a window of an application, it moves all other windows of this application to the top as well, covering anything else I had opened, making multitasking a fool’s errand.

That jest means it decays into a pointer after being passed as a function argument. In the example given however it’s not a pointer. Just like it wouldn’t be inside a struct.

Not only that. Its UI is more legible. With standard Twitter UI I often do not notice where those "threads" end, and where Twitter's algorithmic suggestions begin; and that I should have stopped in between and clicked a littl

They’re not pointers. sizeof a == 4*sizeof(int) , not sizeof(int*) .

int, as all other integer types except char, is indeed signed by default. Aside: signedness semantics of char is implementation-defined. However, the type char itself is always distinct from both signed char and unsigned char.

I have Sublime Text and Sublime Merge installed on my Mac. Trying to launch them through Spotlight is an exercise in frustration. Each successive letter typed in Spotlight alternates the selection between Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, so

That’s why I mentioned reviewed code. The original FreeBSD code which sparked the drama wasn’t reviewed. And honestly some of the issues that were there are not something preventable by limiting oneself to even 50 LOC. I don’t want to specu

All these predictions of imminent technical downfall of Twitter read to me like predictions that in the next release Python will get slow. It's surreal. As for the non-technical aspects: Mastodon is social media, just like any other, w

If I were to associate asking for the $6 back with level of wealth, I'd associate it with someone who grew up poor, not rich. To people born middle class and up this is not a notable expense. If anything, the number which isn't wo
