After one of updates my MS Edge decided to start showing me the MSN page on a new tab. I had EN/US settings at the time so I received a page in English, either US or international. So once it did that I glanced around…
I recently re-watched a few movies by Anthony Minghella (I liked his Ripley). I was surprised that the theme of two movie (and he didn't made that many) was treason and the author sided with the traitor. (Cold mountain,…
I myself write loops with goto. It gives precise control, allows to reuse the knowledge gained from operations inside the loop, avoids artificial "while true" and is generally more convenient. It is also makes the…
This translates into "trust some authority", which is also a task. And it does not work when the canned solution does not quite fit, e. g. involves a bulky lib. The true answer should be "use your software engineering…
And RSSable. But they aren't. If most web content was in easily processable formats, many people could use that for various purposes, e. g. for search. This would diminish the market position of search gigants. But if…
You do not know what you are talking about. Soviet Union was one of last countries with true art. Art requires seriousness. Western art has turned into entertainment long ago. All movies are made so that you can…
I am not an expert, so I'm retelling what I myself read. A Starlink terminal has a detail that reports its location. There is a restriction on location, so if a terminal reports a restricted location, it gets blocked. A…
A mere fashion industry would be fine, because you could just ignore that and stay old-fasioned. This fashion industry is coupled with enforced corporate dress code.
An interesting study, will try to find it, thanks. I've been thinking about "naming things" and it seems the common idea of "good naming" is pretty superficial. I myself would point to MOV in assembly, which is actually…
As one young philosopher put it, wisdom is a moral choice. It is a decision to only speak about what you truly know; and that is very little. E. g. most of us do not truly know the Earth is a sphere; we only "know" this…
What you have done will mean the saving of Israel, you'll be remembered forever for this. And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts. Pretty good wages for one little kiss.
“That is thy loss. A small crack might let in some wisdom.”
A machine that makes ravioli also works in an unhumanlike manner. A tool should follow the tool's way, not human way. Besides, I'd say that it's not quite clear how we store information. I myself would point to sets as…
I once sat in a barbershop and talked with the barber. At first I listened to her sympathetically but then realized she was mad; at least she had noticeable psychical problems. We cannot quickly conclude a person is…
Many games would cease to be games, had they a good UX to solve the nominal problem. E. g. many management games would be way easier with a spreadsheet.
On old Macs you could drag files and folders on the desktop, work from there, and then put them back where they belonged with a single command, one by one or all at once. Applications used file IDs to refer to them, so…
The Steve Jobs' phrase itself is a very well-done ad.
This is more like a dancer or a martial artist refusing to write a book about his craft on the ground that the required understanding cannot be passed this way. With dancing this is more obvious than with philosophy, so…
Names need to express not only differences, but also similarity.
So the problem is that the semantic of methods (car, cdr) is not well defined: it is either "give me that member" or "give me that member and guarantee next time the result will be same". And the solution is to clearly…
I guess the point was that before you consider using a different allocator you should rule out a custom one. And that's rather hard, because a general purpose allocator makes all decisions based only on the requested…
He was elected by a so-called council of experts. Those experts are elected by the people, although screened by the council of constitutional guards. The council consists of six lawyers assigned by the leader and six…
As far as I understood a locked device can install other firmware if the current firmware supports it. A cooperative flush, so to say. But not an uncooperative one. Fine for using, not good for tinkering.
Copyright should be commoditized. A possible first step could be giving copyright owners a single obligation: you have to sell what you own. That thing you have must be available on the market. This rules out…
I used the Selenized color scheme once and it indeed came in four variants: light, dark, white and black. One may also think about a grayscale theme, perhaps.
