Who else immediately thought Red Dwarf's scene where Rimmer commanded bots to repaint the interior from navy blue to ocean blue?

The rotation UI is great.

Have you heard of Google? :-)

don't forget rust

This article was shared here before and since then I was failing to find it again. Thanks for reposting!

Hey. It's nice and I'm going to poke at it to learn how to use the API. But those boxes... they just waste space. There was a (La)TeX package with accompanying documentation that showcased how useless for perception table borders are. Just separate the header with horizontal line and that's it. Look at some common Unix tools (top, free). No table boxes and it's damn clear what you're looking at. Just my 2c.

EDIT: I think this is related: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/238503/tip-on-how-to...

In terminal, even the horizontal rules are waste of space though.

I listened to few podcasts with Sinclair. When someone asks him what he eats, his reply is always "vegetables, leafy greens". No rich source of protein, fat. Is this for real?

Indeed it does. These are mostly queries for non-computer stuff, like I'm interested what's difference between various variants of pepper sprays, or merits of oil vs oil-less air compressor, etc. All the queries I can think of that would have Wikipedia page at the top in the english version give me only eshops and blogspam from sellers in my local language.

Google search is OK for me in English. In my native language (central Europe), it's almost impossible to find content that is not eshop or someone selling something. I'm looking for HTML4 articles, phpbb forum discussion, etc. where people actually share knowledge, but I only get super-SEO optimized crap. The best I get is a blog spam from an eshop.

Vote with your wallet.

Nice.

By the way, I've heard from a friend who tried to re-implement Simulink (only the diagram designer part) that proper line placing is NP-hard.

Thank you. It almost makes me cry that someone is pursuing something sane these days.

There used to be

and it crashed and data was lost AFAR.

There's now

Just wanted to mention prior art.

Thanks. There's nothing like such walls of text on the front page. Very "Hacker". Much "News".

Why exactly?

In my Zsh

    echo *

does not expand dotfiles. I guess there's some setopt for that.

I guess the author received authority to speak on behalf of all Tesla owners, IPO buyers, and money lenders. Or so (s)he thinks.

I'm enlightened by you expressing your feelings.

What is this?

Was just frowning when I read "For example, the three largest stocks accounted for less than 10% of returns in most years since 2009, and often just in the very low single digits." and saw that it was above 10% in 4 of 12 months in the table.

What the hell, who is this text for?

Can someone help me translate

To measure just how concentrated stock returns have been, we calculated the impact that the 10 largest stocks have had on the Morningstar US Large-Mid Index, which essentially tracks 90% of the stock market. We took the 10 largest stocks at the end of each year going back to 2009, and using Morningstar Direct's equity attribution tool, excluded their returns from the index's performance and compared that number with each year's total return.

into mathematics so I can interpret the percentages in the table below?

Why do people involved in finance hate mathematics so much? Is it obvious to everyone?

EDIT: I think it is: returns_of_index_per_year - returns_of_index_minus_returns_of_top_N_stocks_per_year

EDIT 2: What does "Cumulative Market Impact" mean? When you google it or "Market Impact" it gives bunch of unrelated measures... Finance jargon is such a mess.

In my case I always wants to do something that is NOT CRUD, but guides on Internet always want to teach me how to do CRUD apps.

Not everything is about capturing value and extracting profit. There had been something like hacker culture back then, Mr. Serious Business Ventures on HACKER News.

Also, the page requires JS to render, so it's probably crap anyway.

I like complexity of YAML. When people choose YAML as driver for their shitty tools I'm forced to use, at least I can use YAML features to cope with this braindamage. Of course, you can go only so far with e.g. anchors.

Stop using configuration languages as programming languages and leave YAML alone as configuration language.

If you know about dangers of unsafe YAML, why don't you just replace load() with safe_load()??

(deleted negativity)

I don't think the point is another configuration language, much as it is to use real programming languages where appropriate. By using TOML you'd make the tasks where YAML is used even more cumbersome to write...
