    Tracking all those dependencies is not free either. Unfortunately there isn't a magic bullet to code bloat.

    Sounds like an opportunity for a clone using Bitcoin or some other cryrpto to launch.

    I don't think the structure means that the designer is not shared. I think it means that they don't change the designer between asks, unless the original is unavailable. Which make…

    Shuffling is recommended over hopping because you're less likely to fall over. Shuffle in small movements keeping your feet on the ground and close together.

    Are those YouTube takedowns happening due to perceptual hashes? I assume they are just standard ML.

    For what its worth, this table only goes to 2017, all are either operational or cancelled. So this doesn't suggest that there are _new_ coal plants being proposed/considered. Not r…

    Honestly the memory cost isn't that much. Code size has not grown as fast as memory and storage capacity has. One is constrained by manufacturing progress, the other is constrained…

    I'd take this with a grain of salt for the time being. "Google contemplated" could mean nothing more than a random exec said this in passing or as a joke once to somebody else. Not…

    You don't need to validate the hostnamez you can safely leave that for name resolution libraries. You just need to properly separate the user info from the host name and port. Whic…

    Then then spent the next decade trying to create a viable chat platform before handing the task over to the telecoms of all people. Just. Brutal.

    It's news worthy because it provides hard evidence that the Tea Party is not as "grassroots" as it markets itself as.

    A CO2 tax and rebate is progressive. The poorest people would receive more back in a rebate than they pay. But the biggest CO2 users would pay way more than they receive back.

    Yep but you can call them early rather than finding your whole house in fire and then calling them.

    You believe in science? Great! What does the science tell you about the risks to vaccinated individuals when exposed to other vaccinated individuals or to non vaccinated individual…

    That's not the point of vaccination. A group of people in a room all vaccinated is safer than a group of people half vaccinated. The vaccine is not a boolean on off switch, it's a …

    There is a rush to implement stuff though. The demand for functionality continues to grow, and if the platform stagnates developers and therefore users will move to other platforms…

    Makes us think what exactly? Don't leave thoughts unfinished, if you have something interesting to add you should share with the rest of the class.

    Well... Tesla actually sells real cars. Nikola so far looks little different than your average kickstarter that never delivers.

    Neat post, but I was confused about how they said they can't use pandoc, but they never explained in the post how they convert the markdown portion of their files to HTML. Then I r…

    Saving money vs someone giving you money is the same result for you. The stick will grow as IPv4 addresses get more and more expensive.

    One wakes up the background page on a timer, the other wakes it up based upon a external controllable trigger. It's trivial to fire that external trigger based upon a timer.

    Someone has to propose new APIs. Google is the only one at the moment seriously pushing the web as a complete application platform via Chromebooks, and even they are doing a half a…

    This is not about my willingness to learn, it's about my willingness to invest. Sure I can make a native app that extends Safari with the APIs I need, and I can also do that again …
