On this bug-tracker, every discussions are called "bug".

I've been using Vimium since I use firefox (for around 3 years). It's annoying that Vimium can no longer control the browser UI and is limited on some pages (New Tab, mozilla.org) …

Surely a Dyson sphere would not emit what we naively expect. Look at us, we can speculate about these and even try to spot them but are millennia away from building one. What if th…

An other way is WebGL.

Numberphile has a video on exactly this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mceaM2_zQd8 I love this channel :)

Or 6 Gigameters.

What does low tech means in this context ? It's still a computer, with complication on top: solar panels, battery. All the hardware they use requires some energy to be built, the n…

Most ? I mean, I have a single outdoor light, above my front door.

The server could hash again the hashed password sent by the client. Especially if the client use an insecure hash algorithm (no secret salt for example). I feel like if the client …

The actual reason is to make you practice your password so you don't forget. You might scratch your finger or the sensor might get dirty or break. Biometric in (current) phones is …

2020. They just make a virtual 3D model of you from all the data they collected and stream it directly to the device. 2022. They can now engrave fingertips on paper.

> despite arguably being a physical state change and not chemistry per se. It remove salt from the water but more importantly move it to the top of mountains, which adds energy int…

Printf is type-safe in Haskell and OCaml. The format-string is not a regular string, it must be literal and is type-checked specifically.

* on Ethereum There are probably much more content added to IPFS, zeronet and other projects I don't know about. (yes we can host websites on IPFS: https://docs.ipfs.io/concepts/dn…

I always try to write a comment that say "why" the following code is needed or what concept it implements rather than what it does in details. I would do // We allow scrolling in t…

One of the things that hype me about IPFS is that URIs can't change. Resources are immutable and the URI is only the hash of the content. https://ipfs.io/

I wonder how many things are still stored uncracked waiting for future measuring instruments.

Why do they still think we want tracking cookies ? The ad industry should prepare for a future with no tracking instead of trying to survive with ever shadier tricks, IMO. This won…

It's annoying that it doesn't highlight syntax errors. It's even worse than that because it's intercepting the syntax error for logging purpose and loses any informations. You get …

That would be magnetic tapes.

Hacker News is not readable for me. Text is too small, the button for folding the comment tree is impossible to hit on mobile. I'm reading this website with 150% zoom and the brows…

The ownership is part of the type-checker and disappears at runtime. At runtime (and in memory) you are left with C's memory model (pointers but also can nest records) and with the…
