    I thought this was going to be about Android (which makes heavy use of that term), and I was expecting completely different complaints: - The toast disappears quickly, so you might…

    There is a serious bug in Wolfram Alpha's "math input" mode. When you enter e²ⁿ, it is interpreted as e²n (full details at the end). This was reported to them a month ago and still…

    In fact the article mentions a tool for this (sslh), but rejects it because it hides the source IP from the HTTP backend (and other reasons).

    In the case of SSH, there is a single connection (in fact SSH implements its own multiplexing), so I don't see the advantage of HTTP/2.

    I agree. Stack Exchange's Code Golf has public source, but the best there is 644 bytes: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/4198

    It is perfectly reasonable and consistent for one thread to set an environment variable while other threads are reading different environment variables.

    Sure, some applications might require custom higher-level synchronisation, but it's still important for getenv/setenv to be thread-safe (i.e. not crash): - The race might be irrele…

    In Chrome you can inspect your closure (as you clarified in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38226743#38231705 ) using the "Watch" pane, and then look at its "[[Scopes]]" pseud…
