Pret and Itsu (same founders) have been my default shops for many years because you simply don't have to think, walking in and out in under 2 minutes is absolutely to be expected, and if you're a bit autistic and enjoy routine, can have precisely the same choc bar + coffee + salad + sandwich with identical consistency on every single visit

Their food is hardly amazing, but it is wonderfully consistent. Truly hope they survive and flourish once more, London simply would not be the same without them

T+10 years I very much expect CloudFlare's core business to have expanded significantly. I remember that time my Googler friend told me they were about to release that one thing they'd absolutely never do, Chrome came out a few weeks later, now look at Firefox

You need to pay attention to the silent positioning of these companies to even guess at where they might go, so deals with things like archive.org may have some unseen substance to them that might only become obvious much later

Was worried about CF getting their claws dug into archive.org, but on reading, this is a decidedly non-evil deal, actually it sounds wonderful. Still, I worry if there might be some unseen long term interest in the archive.

Never forget Dejanews

Perhaps I misunderstand the text in the README. Who is "we" in this case? Is the software writing its own README?

I know it's common and perhaps even fashionable, but FWIW language like "We take an opinionated stance" utterly puts me off caring about this package

It's a piece of software, it has a design that is either fit for purpose or not. When ego becomes entangled in that design process, it's a strong indicator of the kind of experience one might have trying to get fixes or enhancements merged, or even the kind of attitude you'd find when attempting to report a bug.

You might be pleased to notice Google Scholar is pretty much still the old design, such a breeze to use

42 links, a text box, vector logo, 20kb and that's generous

Autocomplete function, dropdown menu JS, 10kb max

Considering this page is viewed by millions, and doesn't even contain the logic to render search results

A cold cache google page load here pushes 725kb just to render a logo and search box. To avoid fingerprinting my cache is always cold.

Google search is a huge dog

They've taken so long to deliver Librem 5 that even normies have started reverting back to candybar phones in the meantime

Pointer tagging is a completely different tech that requires no runtime knowledge of the length of an array

> McCulloch says that the thrust appears to be between one and four micronewtons—exactly the amount his theory predicts

Somehow I thought physics was meant to be a little more precise than this

C-the-language has no concept of size-tagged arrays at runtime, and I guess it's baked in deeply due to the various guarantees made about sizeof(array), &array[0], and ability to cast &array[0] back to the original array. The iAPX hardware would have gone unused

There's nothing of the spirit of the early hacker days in this repo, it's following GH's documentation and cutpasting some tunnelling instructions. I think it says more about the common misunderstanding of what hacking originally meant that this comparison was attempted at all

(FWIW, spoken as someone who spent many months wardialling by hand and poking around as the rest of the household slept during his school days)

This is actively encouraging people to abuse a free service that many people depend on. It's incredibly irresponsible to see it posted here.

Stealing a worker for up to 6 hours likely running on real Apple hardware because that's how OS X is licensed, man, there are no words. Free CI is difficult enough to supply as it is without freeloaders tying up a limited pool of workers because they're too lazy to run something locally

Last week Elon demo'd a pig that made bleeping sounds when it sniffed stuff and claimed this would cure depression and about 100 other conditions. Tell me, given everyone else in that sector (neuroscience) is wildly sceptical of Elon's claims, how does what Elon did last week compare to what Trevor is being accused of?

Would you withdraw your savings from a bank because the cashier didn't understand HTML 5? Why should we not assume operating a cash drawer is roughly equivalent to HTML 5 knowledge?

How do you feel about Elon?

You think he's a fraud simply because he bullshitted his way through some computer sales pitch? In a way, I have a ton of respect for people willing to even try this kind of thing in public

If he could talk lucidly about things like HTML I'd think that lent more credence to the possibility he didn't have a clue about hydrogen

edit: for the downvoters, if you haven't seen one of these "bear thesis" articles before, understand you must do at least as much homework as the bear claims to have done before accepting anything you read. Of course Nikola is a dodgy company, but it's also a social phenomenon. That's the value in it for the likes of GM, and also for the average investor -- including the professionals. At one stage YouTube was the largest video piracy company on the planet before a larger company swallowed them up and cut deals to legitimize what they'd done. Meanwhile, everyone knew the brand. You can consider what's happening here to be something roughly comparable

IP addresses sharing a route have a common prefix. This is not true of MAC addresses. They are allocated essentially randomly. If you wanted to route solely using MAC addresses, every router in the world would need a lookup table containing every MAC address, route aggregation would be impossible

That's not /the/ reason why a MAC address is involved. It's because that's the address for a physical device at a lower layer in the stack. As others mention, IP is media-independent, it cannot depend on a lower tier addressing scheme without becoming fused to that medium

I can't even begin to wrap my head around the infrastructure you'd need to handle this much daily traffic, considering it'll almost definitely be stored longer term, never mind how you'd go about querying it in any sensible manner. It's something upwards of 100 million trades per day
