This is typical woke-capitalist garbage. Real juice is just fine to drink - in moderation! Before getting some exercise, it's a great boost, has vitamins, easy energy, and it's an …

> not obvious whether to serialize that subfield as an attribute or as a child. Attributes are just strings, generally for metadata. I'd probably serialize an object from another l…

Aren't we just reinventing the wheel, though? Got your structured data format, now you need parsers (tons available for XML, incl SAX, DOM parsers, SimpleXML, Nokogiri...) a schema…

Agreed. There's tons of employment for people that can work with microcontrollers, FPGAs, ASICs, bespoke control hardware, etc. which are often harder to get into than traditional …

Not a chance. Consider that we have working quantum annealers (the D-Wave machines), but they cost ~20 million dollars; and there are no real working gate model machines beyond a f…

Lame. Is there any real reason to do this? Does the code take a lot of maintenance, aimed as it is against a protocol from 1971? Is there a reason to cut people off from easy inter…

I see you also looked it up after seeing https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20710511 Say what you will about fascism, at the very least it sure has a hell of an aesthetic

Downcast for iOS - more configurable than the builtin, unobtrusive, lots of nice features, clean UI. No problems.

Fascinating, thanks. Not sure I understood it all, but I appreciate the reply.

Can you explain to a layman what's odd about it?

You could probably run something on D-Wave Leap and get actual quantum noise or something if you like

I am at once awed by the level of work that goes into a really good typeface, and also astounded that this still seems to be a difficult sort of terrain that people are not just wi…

What if that's fundamentally a flawed way of building things? Maybe your site should provide all of the assets it needs...

So the app should ask for a permission to a reasonable set of domains, and when you're installing it, you should get a clearly laid out permissions / privacy risk management worksh…

Stupid question, but the cores don't physically flip, do they? It's a purely electrical thing?

Of course you want that country. The thing is, the magical panacea of giving out free money to everyone just devalues the money. $1000 Yang Bucks will become the equivalent of $100…

Ah, but if the XServe had not died and datacenters had racks of these things, there'd no doubt be a production quality implementation by now. Shame.

Not much slower than, say, Hyper-V or Virtualbox or other hypervisors that live alongside a general purpose desktop OS. Remember, they're using the same Intel chips and VT-d and su…

A file is just an object with a name in a namespace. Without a name, it's not really very much of a file.

Nah, I have no idea. Find an old machine with Win XP and IE 6 maybe.

Tell me again how buying a Tesla will save this village

I keep reading that the Lorenz can be modeled on an analogue computer, and I want to find an example of how, so I can port it to a synthesizer and listen to it
