Why are flakes included in the release notes if they are still "experimental"? Has there been a change in the status of flakes between 2.3 and 2.4?

Does it use the file provider api or something similar? Or does it just download everything whenever it changes?

I think if you don't have the time to learn enough about a language like Haskell to understand how monads work in that language then you are probably better off just not trying to understand them. It is impossible to understand them without having examples.

Personally I'm not convinced by those arguments, because

- I think it should be my right to share the details of my work with anyone.

- It's already illegal to discriminate against people because they have cancer, and I don't think that imperfect enforcement of privacy on the internet is going to significantly affect anyone's chances of this happening to them.

- If someone does something and faces consequences for it, I don't think that's a bad thing.

Honestly seeing people's responses here and elsewhere on the internet is kind of a Kafkaesque experience for me because everyone seems so convinced that internet privacy is valuable yet no one seems to actually have thought through their position (no offense to you personally). I guess I can only conclude that my base values differ in this area.

Yes I am for real and I genuinely don't see why either of those things are bad.

Honest question, why do you care if it isn't secure? What would be the downside of one's internet activity being public?

I know it is a popular opinion, but I never understood it... why would you rather have non-personalized ads than personalized ads?

Wouldn't it be easier to just run it in a browser?

I guess you could use eye movement as a password then.

"Great Hikes"?

Wow, what a creative use of IPv6 to allow a custom configuration without the use of DNS-over-HTTPS.

I'm surprised that the website doesn't mention anywhere whether Aether is open source or not, not even on the page titled "Open Source."

A look at the source code shows that it decides what package manager it should use by using a config file, and to install a package it runs system("brew install asdf") so I guess you would see a message telling you to run 'brew link' from the homebrew output.

ˎa/bˎ is easier to read than $\frac{a}{b}$.

The question that this person posed is

> At what value for X is there a 50% chance there [exists] a sequence of X-bits in length that hasn't been transmitted yet?

But if I understand correctly, the question that they answered is "At what value for X is there a 50% chance that, given some specific sequence of X bits, that sequence hasn't been transmitted yet?" Wouldn't these two questions have different answers?

Edit (now that I've thought about it more): On top of that, the expected value of a random variable isn't necessarily a value that it has a 50% chance to be. So even my interpretation of this result is wrong.

Not when I click on them they don't.

They are saying that people on Hacker News like to believe that the reason for the lack of gender diversity in technology culture is not due to a problem with technology culture, but rather due to a problem in other parts of society (gender norms). People on Hacker News think this because they feel safe and accommodated by technology culture and assume that it must be the same for other women.

It is saying that safari on mac is 4.3x faster than firefox on mac, and also that safari on mac is 4.2x faster than firefox on windows (at executing javascript).

> I can totally spot code which was written by the socially challenged.

That sounds very interesting to me. Could you elaborate?

Anyone have any idea why men seemed to prefer Middle Easterners?

I bet there could be some accessibility-related use for the touch bar. Also, accessibility is already tied to completely unrelated things like event taps.

If I were in charge of Apple I'd make the app have to have accessibility rights.

Too bad there isn't a way to have your app control the touch bar even when it isn't in focus. I would have liked to write a background application that overrides it for personal use. I already have one that does that for the caps lock key.

> does this all via SQL injection

This isn't what SQL injection is.

"The suggestion" is that different ways of naming events produce different gender ratios. This tweet isn't making any value judgments about competition. It is directed at people who want to know how to make their events seem more appealing to women.

As for #1, students and instructors can simply create a new github account specifically for any given course and not connect it to any of their personal information or other github accounts/repositories if they are security-conscious.

The embedded video at https://samgentle.com/posts/2015-08-21-universe-tuning doesn't work (it says it's private)

Also, pressing ^D causes the server to infinitely loop sending newline characters.

I think that this is really the only valid response to this question. It doesn't make sense to talk about what someone "should" do without first saying what "should" means. Even the original post put the word "should" in quotes, and still didn't qualify it.
