my immediate first thought is that I've never heard of the consecutive constraint before, or that if I have I have forgotten about it. I've only ever heard of a uniqueness constrai…

ironic, given the title, that I can't read this article on my main desktop, because cloudflare's bot detection has had me as a false positive for years now. I'm just forever stuck …

I feel like a lot of documentation falls into this kind of style, where the motivation behind design is not communicated, just the design itself. Sometimes it's because the documen…

The trash heap event gave me the same relic the first 3 times in a row that I got it before it gave me anything else. I wonder that's another example of this correlation? I hope th…

A reason I suspect (though, truly it is only a guess) is as a way to force people to spend money. Something akin to "either buy something or leave" to try and capture just that tin…

My context is that I was born in the late 90s: The main thing that lead to me prioritizing using the computer and playing with people online over in person was one of convenience. …

I remember being young when "kids don't play in the yard anymore, they just play on their phone/consoles/computer" started to be a big talking point. Even then I recognized that th…

I already use Rust and don't have experience with Go, so this article maybe isn't super for me. I do have one nitpick though: Stating that data races are "caught at compile time" i…

I like the idea mentioned of a source code escrow, and it feels like that would be a great place for national governments to step in. It reminds me of how the British Library requi…

What an interesting article that definitely isn't pulling incredibly obvious red scare tactics. I'd be quite interested to know what damn article it was that was apparently so out …

Personally, I don't think I have much benefit in a new generation TI-84. I still own a TI-85, a model that was discontinued before I was born, and it is still an objectively superi…

So if I've got the right idea, the clearances harder to achieve for a fan vs a lego piece because you're not just concerned with the static tolerances of the shape of the fan, but …

Another part of the issue, as I can see it, is that paying your workers better is a prisoners dilemma: If nobody pays their workers well: All companies suffer from a disaffected, b…

Based on the origins of Rust as a tool for writing the really thorny, defensive parsers of potentially actively hostile code for firefox, I have to imagine that another web browser…

I feel like the lag-time of communication was an important component of older forms of communication that has been lost. That's not to say that fast communication isn't a boon to s…

A really mindset-altering read for me, I've carried this way of thinking ever since I'd first read it a few years ago.

If imposition was something for this site to add, I'd recommend doing it through LaTeX with the pdfpages package[1]. You generate the pdf normally, then re-lay it out using a secon…

at first I thought library OS might have meant an OS meant for use at a library. Honestly far less interesting to know I was wrong.

I was in the market for a vinyl cutter/knife plotter a while back, and the fact I use linux on everything was my main reason for avoiding Cricut. Ended up finding out theres an ope…

> the mapping is direct ... > or with attributes so it isn't direct? That's what you're saying. You're saying that there's two options for how to map any property of structured dat…

Admittedly, I try and stay away from database design whenever possible at work. (Everything database is legacy for us) But the way the term is being used here kinda makes me wonder…

To me blink as a render engine is too closely coupled to Google. Even though technically chromium is disconnected and open source, the amount of leverage Google has is too high. I …

I don't particularly care about mozilla so much as I care about Firefox, gecko, and the continued existence of at least ONE other browser. I don't want to use a blink based browser…

This feels like a very indirect way of saying "yes the fourier transform of a signal is a breakdown of its component frequencies, but depending on the kind of signal you are trying…

Leaves me wondering if this will allow for superconducting cryogenic transistors? If my hobby level understanding of how silicon doping works, this new superconducting germanium wo…
