Apologies in advance if this sounds excessively rude, but I'm not asking for anything as there's noone to actually ask to , I'm asking about that. That distinction matters, since I…

So... no?

So, the biggest question I have about all this eminently theoretical physics video thing is, has anyone ever managed to experimentally demonstrate you can __voluntarily__ bend the …

It'd be absolutely bonkers if you could use this exact same DSL to generate valid strings

Lol cry me a river. I couldn't get a report to go forward for a guy who called me a f*cking n-word and threatened to rape my dead dog and their automated tools got me banned for a …

Here's an idea: - Move all documents to a simple doc server like idk Alfresco - Any any all single read requests to this server are authorized after biometric confirmation of any p…

OK, given the sudden surge in anonymous morons unable to follow basic prompts for civil discussion and the refusal of the implementors to do something about the mounting garbage on…

It's oddly infuriating to read this from a "developing" (ie poor) country. We get permanently schooled by all this rich countries who ransacked both our and later their natural res…

Yeah... About that... I mean... no. When the possible death of thousands upon thousands of people is on the line, your proposal better be ironclad and well equipped to stand many l…

Twitter has degenerated into one of the least friendly things to build an app for. I've had a better dev experience with Gab, ffs. Not only that, but also their community building …

Yeah I'm pretty sure the language that has birthed conventions like HasThisTypePatternTriedToSneakInSomeGenericOrParameterizedTypePatternMatchingStuffAnywhereVisitor and RefreshAut…

Hi HN! In a bout of Not Invented Here syndrome I decided to do away with Babel, mostly because I wanted the hobby project I'm working on to have as little dependencies as I could m…

Ah yes, Sargon of Akkad, of "I wouldn't even rape you" fame. If anything, I'm pretty glad the absolutely despicable thing is no longer funded through them and kinda makes me want t…

I still remember when Clang bringing LLVM along was seen as SO OUT THERE and I'm just mentioning it because I find it weird to be old enough to see fads in system languages come an…

Right, but the - operator requires prior knowledge that the search engine understands boolean operators and that a -b is an alias of "listings with a on their text that don't have …

While I'm sure this is A Hard Problem to solve by NLP I for whatever reason was under the impression that this is trivial to special-case. As in, "X without Y" sounds like a common…

Silkworms are killed in the production of silk whereas simply milking the goats would let a kind of continuous process happen. It would still need to be untangled and spun which is…

Really well reasoned parting letter. Hoping he'll fare better doing Reason instead. I've tried and haven't had much luck selling it to our local Powers That Be but I understand it'…

On a similar vein, my company has had a great experience with Epidemic Sound for their videos and random multimedia. You pay them monthly, and any music you use during your subscri…

As a provider, supporting old tech stacks sucks. They're clunky, have all kinds of warts and annoying workarounds for stuff that got improved in future versions. As a consumer, bei…

So, some guy got my account locked because I published openly found, googleable data about him and he didn't like that. Fair enough I guess? While waiting, I couldn't help but noti…

Nothing prevents you from chucking https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/ on a random page tho. Is the value add the fact that there's a server component behind it?

What is Theia better for than Visual Studio code or Atom or any other of this new trend of build-a-bear IDEs? I like Eclipse and the Eclipse foundation (hey, they rocked the whole …
