   I think FLIF seems better as a PNG replacement. FLIF is a lossless format, although lossy encoding is also available. Still, PNG is much better than GIF, so GIF should not be used unless you need it for use with software that can't use

   We can see then, there are some advantages and disadvantages each one. Clearly, ZX Spectrum has a better included BASIC software; will allow you to make large strings, screen pausing automatically, and the Commodore 64 system software must

   Yes, I think it is false advertising, so should be illegal.

   On my computer I host HTTP (with Apache), SMTP (with Exim), NNTP (with sqlnetnews), QOTD (TCP only, no UDP), and Gopher. I might add others later, too (e.g. IRC, Viewdata, Telnet, Finger, etc). And on the HTTP server I host several Fossil r

   I use DVDs. If I make compressed tape archives of all of the files on my computer, it can fit on three DVDs.

   It is interesting. My own opinion is that only mathematical truth can be "true" and "real", although any expression of that is necessarily short of the absolute truth. The universe and laws of physics may be an instantia

   I wouldn't know about your first two paragraphs, but I can agree about the third paragraph, that "the amount of gray area in the subject makes it complicated". Yes, a lot of stuff becomes complicated because there is a lot of

   I did not read the article he quotes, and cannot say whether "the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing" is true or false, but I agree that you should try to criticize it correctly; if yo

    I do think they have added some good stuff to JavaScript, such as typed arrays, big integers, arrow functions, strict mode, generator functions, WeakMap, symbol type, etc. But some features of JavaScript, I don't like much, such as aut

    Well, I am in favor of legalizing the possession (but not the trade, if it is photographic) of child pornography, but only because I generally think legislation should be reduced. (I suppose, it can also be an experiment to see what is happ

    I think just because someone may be bad at one thing, does not necessarily mean they are bad at other stuff too. Also, I think you should have the right to your opinion. But, people who have other opinion also must have right to their opini

    What I might like better is if you can publish a blog from a NNTP feed. If there is a article which has some sort of verification and lack a "References" header, then it appears as a blog post; if there is a "References"

    That won't work if you do not have any social media profiles (or if you do, but not any of the ones they listed there).

    MMIX has a "SADD" instruction, which does popcount(x&~y). (You could use this to count trailing zeros with two instructions, each taking only one clock cycle.) I thought JavaScript ought to have a built-in popcount function fo

    Human is not the most important things in the universe. It is necessary to avoid the idea that it is the most important things in universe. However, business is not the most important things in the universe either. Love of money is the root

    "It took me years to cope with the sequels of indoctrination, but I'm happier and more serene as an atheist now." Then that is good that you are atheist now. "In my book, religions that demand conversion are thinly-veile

    Yes, some religious people have done some good science. "There is no evidence of a god", but, what counts as the evidence of the gods existence? How, even, will you define the specific meanings of "God" and "exist&q

    That is a valid point. There is people doing bad stuff and they say by religion or by God (not all people doing bad stuff is, but a lot is). And, yes, you should challenge it and try to stop such bad thing. Yes, I believe you, so much money

    What Dawkins says is not true of all atheists. Also, there is the difference of positive and negative atheism. Dawkins also has the scale of atheism 1 to 7, and he himself ranks 6 on that scale apparently. Some religious people are good peo

    I have used window functions in SQLite. You don't need it a lot, but there are some uses for it. However, I don't know what the EXCLUDE clause is good for; it doesn't seems so useful.

    I think USB is terrible. One problem is that USB addressing is not by the physical port that it is connected to (among other things, this is a security problem, but there are many other problems with this too); does USB4 correct that? Anoth

    I don't really like how HTTP directory listings are transmitted as HTML documents. (So, I invented a better format. I cannot figure out how to make Apache to use that better format, though.)

    I would want more key rollover. I like the Model F keyboard, with full n-key rollover; just, it doesn't have lights. Also, I would like to have a Fn key which can be used to send arbitrary scancodes and possibly other options (such as

    Yes, it is good. (I tend to only use it for sites that already use CSS; for those that don't, the default is almost always good enough.) Even on Hacker News, I use that to do two things: to make all comment text black, and to display d
