bartwe··on UTF-8 Everywhere
I assume you mean a limited subset of 7bit ascii ? 33-126
bartwe··on UTF-8 Everywhere
Nobody has that as a letter on the keyboard here though, so it doesn't matter. Normally typed as a digraph. Would be nice if we just switched over to using y at this point. Makes me wonder, is the use of diacritics reducing since ascii keyboards became the norm ?
bartwe··on Scientists create quantum sensor that covers entire radio frequency spectrum
Got to appreciate the usage of Lego in that image.
bartwe··on I Want Off Mr. Golang's Wild Ride
Stuff exists on those file systems outside of your application, and at some point you'll have to interface with them.
bartwe··on Latest EU data shows that in the Netherlands 14% of employees work from home
Also dutch and working from home fulltime, haven't met that many people that are in the same position tbh.
bartwe··on The Ripe NCC Has Run Out of IPv4 Addresses
That is the ideal. But i dont see the home router nat going away. Infact in many ways it is a good thing every home has a nat/firewall going, removing that for ipv6 would be a step backwards. Better and more reliable upnp would be nice.
bartwe··on Indiana man charged with theft for removing police tracking device from car
Wonder if an argument is to be made that this is entrapment
bartwe··on London Ultra Low Emission Zone cuts toxic air pollution by a third
Cool, now close London City Airport for some serious noise pollution reduction.
bartwe··on Why I Write Games in C (yes, C)
As a gamedev i would LOVE to give the gc 1ms per frame if it would be hard bounded and allocs are guaranteed not to stall.
bartwe··on Ask HN: Cons of Being on a Remote/Distributed Team?
Gaming helps, although there is a risk of spending time after work with work people that way
bartwe··on Show HN: I made a jobs board for developers without degrees
You probably should, more future security and possible pay raise
bartwe··on Age Discrimination at Work
As someone in games. I believe it.
bartwe··on Bring Back the SE
I asked a phoneseller friend about it 'People don't want those phones' was the answer.
bartwe··on What Happened in the UK Blackouts?
Well this was a chaosmonkey (the lightning) injecting a random fault ;)
bartwe··on North American versus European distribution systems (2011)
European plugs aren't aware of any hot/neutral polarity and devices are not built to treat a neutral phase differently from a hot phase. A separate grounding wire is used for safety.
bartwe··on Nullable References in C# 8.0
I tried this in the past but it falls apart pretty badly on class/struct fields and constructors.
bartwe··on Death Note: L, Anonymity and Eluding Entropy (2017)
I wonder, can they A/B test alternatives with that time machine ? Would they settle for a comfortable 'small' one time lottery winnings? Or try and create a dynasty for a longer lived family/institution. Also the person in the future, would they 'join' their new history ?
bartwe··on It's all Greek to me: Thoughts on code readability and aesthetics
Yeah following simple formatting rules is a job we can (and should) give to the computer.
bartwe··on Drug cartels use dollar bill serial numbers as random keys for delivery receipts
Ensuring the code isn't reused, to put in a ledger, to avoid some kind of replay attack, having someone pretend to be the courier and get the key to then replay to the real courier. Dunno, probably many many things avoided by making the key not usable but still verifiable.
bartwe··on I was a 10x engineer and I’m sorry
What is the term for being a bit too eager junior making some systems that become business critical and then getting some second hand shame for making something the existing team can't support.
bartwe··on Pirate our games, don't buy them from key resellers, say indies
Creeping up to that 100M mark for AAA at this point.
bartwe··on Pirate our games, don't buy them from key resellers, say indies
That is basically already the reality of Steam with the discounts, albeit it timed, in addition to regional pricing.
bartwe··on France to tax flights from its airports, airline shares fall
Please use the tax to fund research into holoportation to replace quite a bit of travel.
bartwe··on Top UCLA Doctor Denounces HBO's “Chernobyl” as Wrong and “Dangerous”
Question is if the series portrayed actions taken back in '86 or creating new misrepresentations and fears
bartwe··on For Men Who Hate Talking on the Phone, Games Keep Friendships Alive
With proper headphones, mic and a higher bitrate it is superior to phonecalls
bartwe··on For Men Who Hate Talking on the Phone, Games Keep Friendships Alive
Would be weird if you dont believe their variant/flavour
bartwe··on The Backlash to Plastic Has Oil Companies Worried
Is the lithium and other ingredients in a battery pack suitable to be re used like glass/aluminium is ? to be remade into battery packs many times ?
bartwe··on You Had Me, And You Lost Me: Why I don't read Megatokyo (2004)
Megatokyo is still in my fixed rotation of daily webcomics...
bartwe··on SR-71's “R2-D2” Could Be the Key to Winning Fights in GPS Denied Environments
Do they fly high enough that atmospheric scattering and brightness become small enough to still use it ?
bartwe··on Mumble – Open source, low latency, high quality voice chat software
I've put it in a few games, the biggest hurdle is that the mumble client doesn't seem to have the link plugin enabled by default.
