I think this is a minimization of the harmful nature of statements made by Donald Trump. We're not talking about not liking his political views. No, we're talking about dangerous e…

This is not possible if your password manager itself requires a password. Unless you mean "password managers don't work because someone might know the master password" which is tru…

Password management is better, not worse, for security.

Sorry for the late response. > execute relatively small snippets of shell code/one-liners as part of an asset management pipeline without having to "shell-out" and invoke an extern…

Thanks! It's Deno only I'm afraid. I'm interested in what would make it more useful for you as a Node project (so that I can gather info on the sorts of use cases that would be goo…

Thanks for this

I don't understand this part. As far as I can tell, utility monopolies can only form with government assistance (i.e. lobbying).

Here's a question I have about these types of frustrating monopolies, and I'd love a point towards a book or something that can explain. Let's say I have a bunch of money (or fundi…

The pursuit of sustainable living and the pursuit of a multi-planetary existence are parallel endeavours, not serial ones. Perhaps the view from Mars will instil a renewed perspect…

For me, no formal metric can capture what I get out of buying books at an independent book shop. I feel like I'm trading with an old currency, only the books I own and buy are a re…

I really enjoyed it too. Some HN commenters could do well to learn about opinions!

In my opinion, this is simply an over-extended metaphor. Programming ultimately is not carpentry, and custom tooling is justifiable in many more cases.

You can even export as PDF and print

But then, everything we look at paints an image onto our retina, so using it as a hook for a headline feels disingenuous.

So there are numerous deployments of "successful" games using PyGame, and no court cases by the creators/maintainers of PyGame towards those game developers? I'll take my chances. …

Do you have any links for the implications for commercial use? If I released a game made with PyGame, what's the gamble? I've seen examples of people using it commercially [0]. [0]…

Game programming is an area in which I feel benefits greatly from the use of global state.

I don't remember stating otherwise.

Doesn't the very definition of "lossless" depend on interpretation? If lossy compression alters its mass, but lossless doesn't, doesn't it depend on the interpretation of "lost" in…

I'm out of my depth here as I've never studied information theory. I suppose there's a larger gap between the theory and the practical aspect of the title of this article than I fi…

But the context in those countries is too different to ours to come to any meaningful conclusion about what should be allowed "here" (I'm assuming UK + US mainly).

This raises what I view to be a falsification by counter-example of the original premise. If information (and not _the representation of_ information) has mass, then does a piece o…

You have to answer a quiz

I'd earnestly like to hear the responses to this from the down-voters. I had the same thought and suspect there is a good reason not to use mixins. One problem off the top of my he…
