One of eight color choices. Last one in the list. If anything, the argument works better as a reason to remove gray from the list.

The use of grayscale is a bit disingenuous. Gray is not the default color theme on macOS. The default is blue. So the criticism about using right/left to distinguish on/off doesn't…

TK has the formal title of CEO of Cloud. CEO of is a layer above SVP. Google has many layers of management.

The organicness of the original was really fun. Dunno if coordinating here really fits the HN vibe, but also go where the people are.

Are we coordinating factions here, like the original r/place? The social aspect was such a big part of the original. I'll start: # PURPLE FRAME # Our mission is to draw a purple fr…

I can't see my cursor if it is placed on top of a cell that has already been colored.

The Turis Omnia runs a derivative of OpenWrt. They provide a custom UI with an option to switch to LuCI. It's easy to flash it to upstream OpenWRT, which is what I do.

The editor-in-chief of a journal handing out a paper that was published in that journal at a conference for that journal... is quite different from ranting about space lizards in a…

Well now I gotta ask. What's up with CyberChron? The only thing I can find on Google is a website straight out of 1999 and lawsuit from 1995. They're obviously a US military contra…

www.metalevel.at is run by Prolog legend Markus Triska, author of CLP(FD)/CLP(Z). So it's not that they "discovered" anything about Prolog; they already knew the language inside ou…

I say it's the "standard" because all new public APIs must conform to the latest AIPs. But yes, Google has plenty of legacy APIs. And yes, GCE in particular is a HUGE pain.

This is a fork of Google's AIPs (API Improvement Proposals) [1], which is the standard for all of Google's public APIs. More context at [2]. [1]: https://aip.dev [2]: https://aep.d…

Google has a similar clause in their employee contracts. I assume most tech companies do. That doesn't mean it is enforceable, though.

Well, it depends on the language. In Javascript, promises are eager and start executing immediately. They return control back to the caller when they need to wait. So in practice, …

IIUC, this crate has similar restrictions to the std Mutex. So it depends on what you mean by "work with async code." First, lock acquisition seems to be a blocking method. And I d…

Yeah, it's a pretty versatile phrase that's hard to explain. But it does often have a connotation of childishness or naivety, even when used sincerely. It is often used an expressi…
