they have no doubt been doing it, they're just using the panic of a brainwashed population thinking they're on the brink of Islamic revolution to normalize it

Random audits in data brokers' data centers? Software on consumers' devices that records ads seen and file complaints if consumers are still being tracked? It's very easy to detect…

I like Gnome a lot. The idea you can customize the shell using JS is just awesome, but... Nothing seems to work. I'm reading the intro[1], where it first advocates the use of the G…

This should be open-sourced so that the probability of creating a dangerous true AI is lower. I fear there may be something very wrong in this but I'd love a DIY grow-your-brain ki…

I was gonna comment the same, so thanks for getting all the downvotes :)I think it's not that sexist but at first I was shocked. Now I think it is just using way too many stereotyp…

Isn't the title a bit misleading? > Hence, our attempt to convert high-level code to assembly code takes us one step closer to completing the dream of making a chemical compiler.

I would add mindfulness meditation to the list.

As a developer I don't estimate work based on number of lines I expect to write, so while this metric is interesting I do not think it explains why we miss deadlines. It does indee…

Also, commenters to this thread won't be let through.

Example, I need (ok want) an abbreviation for the description of a common sentence (like eveeybody who said it once knows the feeling you are feeling when you do use it): > Have yo…

No offense taken. I said I like to write it this way, not that I always do it. > why code like that It's a fun exercise. > it would be a huge waste of time and energy I don't fully…

Shouldn't it be ".map(([prop, value]) => ...)" ? I like to write it this way, using as much syntax sugar as possible: const mapObject = fn => obj => Object.assign( ...Object.entrie…

it's very unlikely this is going to be the bottleneck in your application

My thoughts exactly! The amount of things you need to know in order to use react and redux is ridiculously low. You're basically just composing functions of two types "(state, acti…

Well "a.b.c" violates the principle that you should never access a property more than one level deep anyway ;) But in this case it's pretty straightforward to write a function like…

Right. We might as well just compile our JS to Java. Instead of using web tech to build native apps I think we should focus on improving browsers so that web apps behave more like …

Yeah, technology loves cycles. "Hey, let's write an editor for a browser. Oh wait, we need a browser for that editor". Something good will probably come out of this eventually. I m…

This is interesting, I love writing this kind of frameworks myself to get a better understanding of the ones I use in production. But I fail to see which problem this tries to solv…

I don't understand what they mean by 11 dimensions. Last I checked we only have 3 spacial dimensions (exotic theories notwithstanding).

And no hoverboards, damn!

The title is misleading, I thought this was going to be about "True AI". The AI doesn't write its own code, it writes code instead of you but always uses the same code. Or did I mi…

Surely some folks will re-implement it :) I for one am willing to contribute the day wayland becomes too mainstream.

Hallelujah the [1]missing dropdowns are fixed! Long live the best WM ever! [1] https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/issues/42

I try those new shiny DEs from time to time and always come back to xmonad. In particular, I need to be able to have desktop #x on display #y and desktop #z on display #t, i.e. hav…
