    I can't speak to any sort of scalability but I can definitely say that not everything needs to be built for millions of users. There's plenty of utility in tools you use to help ev…

    Pebble smart watches are tethered (to an android/ios device via bluetooth), do not talk to a cellular network, and have had an especially good battery life because of that and thei…

    Please reread what you wrote and try to see if you can see how it comes off as at least culturally insensitive if not outright racist.

    See the `either` function further down either some-condition { print "was true" } { print "was false" }

    No? I don't think this is the trap you think it is.

    I'm in the same boat, recursion tends to be easier for me to reason about because I'm expressing the problem in terms of some base case that incoming parameters are being reduced t…

    I'm very happy with my Unihertz Jelly Max aside from the camera being not great. I think it's the smallest it can reasonably be (62.7mm wide) while still having its touchscreen key…

    Seems fairly standard stuff for libraries to consider. I was really hoping for some weird stuff like patching bytecode or implementing entire different languages as a python librar…

    can you not narrow it down further to O(k * nCr(n, k)) (n=size of input, k=combination size) since it does k conses for each of the nCr(n, k) combinations? (the final filter sums k…

    with N as the length of the subsets and X as the length of input, `combinations n xs` basically walks through list xs and at each element, conses that element onto each combination…

    I don't follow why parser combinators would be a bad tool for CSV. It seems like one would specify a CSV parser as (pardon the pseudocode): separator = ',' quote = '"' quoted_quote…

    This is probably a really basic question but why does the wizard need to stop being drawn with characters when the sprites move out past the left/right borders? Is this a hardware …

    This is super frustrating to use. There's a character limit of 30 but it seems like whenever it tries to put a line break in the input it just deletes what I was typing.

    Why would people need to invest in a neighborhood? Houses are for living in.

    I think the parent meant Azure DevOps which is Microsoft's jira and was completely down for the duration of this outage.

    if (size + size I know size_t wraps around on overflow so this would actually work, but this still makes me do a double take.

    I don't think it's at all reasonable to say that https://worldledaily.com/ is typosquatting https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html

    I feel like this part has little to do with TCO and TFA is overly focused on the recusion part of things. Even in the case of that example, there's still a function that directly r…

    Not to downplay the other points but the first long term effect sounds to me like the whole point of psychedelics as a therapeutic tool. > Firstly, destabilization was a significan…

    I don't think this is as simple as that (and it's not entirely the display's fault). 120hz iidx is a big upgrade over the previous lcds but I'm not sure it is over the games that r…

    I wonder how feasible it would be to get a keyboard hooked up to a Gameboy through the serial port. It looks like it should be possible from a cursory reading of https://gbdev.io/p…
