Everyone starts with a simple idea. But by the time every hardware and software company has put in their input/requests/demands it'll end up at thousands of pages.

I enjoy watching Jonathan Blow's livestreams once in a while to get insight into game dev and Jai: https://www.twitch.tv/naysayer88

I think they were talking about the McMaster-Carr situation, since that is what they generally supply.

I think a better link is probably: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22police+admit+to%22&tbs=qd...

Though it doesn't give a number of results explicitly there are still several pages of results (though they'd need to be deduped)

I think people are leaning further and further into retribution instead of rehabilitation. People make mistakes and we need to realize that unless the mistake is really heinous then we don't need to absolutely destroy their entire lives. We just need them to learn from the mistake, possibly pay a cost (therapy, fines, temporary unpaid leave, etc), and then rejoin society as social and economic contributors.

I'd rather not pass individual judgement on these cases presented but it seems to me that some of these are more damning than others.

Before the omnibar became popular I used to use google as my homepage and I'd type website keywords then "I'm feeling lucky" to get to my frequent websites. I think bookmarks took up too much space vertically so this was my solution /shrug

The fact that sexual orientation has anything to do with a person's own sex is crazy. We need to normalize better terminology that just says who you're attracted to.

We only really need it to determine whether we're compatible with other people anyways: I like A + you are A + you like B + I am B = compatible. (Where A and B might be different or equal)

Ideally we'd live in a world where even that doesn't matter and everyone just chooses partners based on whether they enjoy that person's company etc. but I feel like that world is much further into the future :)

Constructive doesn't mean actionable. Not sure where that assumption comes from. It may be that only future languages can reap the rewards of a discussion on core features that are unlikely to change in rust but that's still possibly valid constructive criticism.

The thing that gimp is really missing in my opinion is non-destructive effects. I want to be able to toggle stuff on and off, not permanently change the image. When I looked it up it sounded like it was on the roadmap but there were architectural blockers.

* That is Java's slogan!

* The npm ecosystem is a bit overzealous in the dependency department. Not everything is bloated inside npm or out of it but a lot of it is.

* Javascript itself hasn't changed much in the way of making DOM creation/mutation easier. Custom elements, shadow DOM, etc. were nice but at the end of the day you still need to call createElement a lot and do everything manually. You're probably referring to using libraries, of which some are nice but many suffer the above-mentioned bloat problem. Event handling similarly hasn't changed much.

* True enough, there probably haven't been this many of us in a long long time! More people must mean more good people.

Silently? Since when is comparing objects in JS with (in)equality operators the right thing to do? There's no operator overloading nor special symbol you can implement in objects to make this work seamlessly ever. Casting/stringifying or calling functions is the only way for all objects.

#2 bothered me so much in school. The system gauges success via tests that check short term learning. It really, really isn't good at measuring learning.

What is a "family"? Should a business adjust the salary based on how many members you have in your family? If one person has 10 kids and another has 2 they have drastically different requirements. An only child with a well-off family might only be taking care of themselves whereas another child might need to also be taking care of their parents and grandparents who also need to pay for medicines in addition to taking care of their younger sibling who isn't old enough to work yet.

The variety and complexity of "enough to feed their families" is crazy.

Wow, when can we have those boxes for cars please?

Breakpoint logging sounds like just using conditional breakpoints with a console.log wrapper around the expression, which you can do today. Not saying it's better or worse, but if you need that functionality in Chrome there's your solution :)

Isn't this really in service of the customer to not waste their time? The store is the one shouldering the risk because if it turns out to be a thief using the card the store loses money/goods. The more they try to verify you are who you say you are the less risk they are incurring. That's a benefit of credit, it's less risky for the consumer in the end.

Not sure why someone would use map like that (which would unnecessarily generate and return a new array of 'corn's) instead of just forEach.

I'd also probably recommend using Array.from instead of a spread (for clarity) but less concerned about that part.

Parent suggested a very sensible, simple, and efficient solution. Why suggest a less efficient and more involved one?

They changed the name to YouTube Premium

Huh, I thought omissions/abbreviations of addresses was introduced with IPv6.

So this could've been done in the past with a manually written decoder but now it's a built in? That's great

I implore you to read about the origins of the word computer and who those people were and what they did. Also just in general about the Analytical Engine, Babbage, and Lovelace.

That website is in a rough state.

I tried to contact them regarding the fact that their url for jquery tools no longer resolves and that their SSL certificate has expired. I filled out the contact form and hit submit and then was presented with an empty results screen (probably because the js is broken). Hopefully they fix it up, but might not.

Never had any issues typing http://google.com manually and having that get redirected to the capture portals. Obviously you have to specify the protocol otherwise modern browsers will try https first.

Happy to see nand2tetris on there, one of the most interesting projects I've done in a long time!

If you want lossless audio in a decently popular format then just go looking for FLAC, you'll definitely find some. Even bandcamp uses it [1].

Ah bummer. I would have thought they'd have kept the PSD lying around somewhere like I do and it would've shed some light. Maybe someday someone will figure out something that looks right!

Psiga seems to be a person named Patrick Murphy (based on the recent change history: https://sites.google.com/site/psigamp3/system/app/pages/rece...) and they've uploaded at least one other phosphor test such as this one from 2011: https://sites.google.com/site/psigamp3/phosphorsim-gettingcl...

They also uploaded something as recently as 2017 so it might be possible to reach out to them and get a response?

Not sure if that helps find / reach out to them but I can hope.

1 is the only A such that X + A = X + 1 :D
