Blocked in the UK. Can someone help us read our own website? Edit: why is this at -3? You guys are assholes.
Not an expert, but what you describe is testing different parts of the system. Real world data tests that the sensor system is creating an accurate model of the environment, whereas simulated data ensures that the…
Having a space station is not important. Having the infrastructure to build and maintain a space station is important. When the US stopped sending people to the moon it stopped to be capable of sending people past LEO.…
Right but what I'm saying is that two versions of the same library will live quite happily together, because node.js absolutely abhors global scope. The two versions have their own module-level scope to store functions…
It's much weaker. Only reason for a password manager to use it is laziness or ignorance.
Marriage and religion are both prehistoric. They are cultural universals, present wherever you look. The ubiquity of marriage across vastly disparate cultures means either that there's a strong force compelling all…
Basically in the unrealistic situation of a closed system, GC can be faster. But it makes FFI significantly harder (e.g. V8 API)
Mobile devices are ideal candidates to be thin clients, because they are battery powered. If most instances of greater capability can be implemented as a thin client, then it's not CPU performance that is the…
It's funny that the MIT license has the reputation of being "The license you choose when you don't care about attribution, or it would be unreasonable to require attribution". As the article points out, copies of MIT…
5. Indefinitely hold up UK's new WTO schedule, apply huge tariffs to UK goods entering the EU, while it doesn't have MFN status.
Seriously, if you're going to steal Wired's content and submit it to HN, please at least host it statically so it doesn't fall over immediately.
$10 off vs $10 credit is exactly the same thing unless you never buy anything from Amazon ever again.
Speaking personally, I do. Internet ads are usually a sign of low-quality content, for instance they seem to have an incredible power to turn previously esteemed newspapers into clickbait factories. The best content on…
I guess I'm a "so-called Londoner". I'm not in the slightest bit Roman!
There's a difference between thinking something and saying it. You're entitled to think he is a rapist, you're not entitled to say it (in public, without some kind of qualification like "alleged"). It's especially bad…
I don't get what you're saying. How is it possible to write code without string literals? subprocess.check_call([ "/usr/bin/env", "echo" "hello world" ])
How do you "unplug" bluetooth headphones from one device and plug them into another?
Flying cars are really about having a personal aircraft that can be operated by non-pilots -- like a car can be. i.e. it has to be fully autonomous, because the average person can't be trusted to perform the usual…
I'm sorry but that is astonishingly ignorant. The EU isn't an affront to the people who have fought and died, it is a project to bring European countries together after a thousand years of warfare and tens of millions…
You're not taking into account future emissions. If everybody stopped buying PV cells from China, that would severely retard the development and rollout of PV, and so cause more emissions.
Renaissance Tech? Clearly at some level of expenditure you can beat risk/return of the market, but it doesn't necessarily scale either up or down. You need enough money to hire your army of PhDs, but not so much money…
And where does the average young person in Hong Kong go to watch MMA? YouTube. As a Brit, the only reason I can even comprehend your comment, is because I have read Americans talking about UFC on the internet, and…
Using the law to block crawlers is more like saying: 1. Google can come in 2. Other Americans can't come in 3. Chinese people can come in (or anywhere else where US laws don't apply) It might not be unfair, but it is…
Are you saying the author is being unfair on the average footballer by implying that they objectify women? :)
