I think you're missing the OP's point though.

It's true that you can just use some CSS to make up for the lost HTML feature, but than again you could also rewrite the HTML part.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly sure that what the OP is trying to say, is that there are plenty of great websites out there, which were developed a long time ago, and for which there is no maintainer to do any work on it. Thus having HTML elements like this dropped, would make the content in a way lost.

Thinking about it some more, users can probably add plugins to add this css automatically, or some browsers might even keep those features in, but still, there will be users that don't know this, I think, resulting in a bad experience.

I think they are still open to it, in a very sceptical way. Basically they are asking [1] the public/users for papers/documents/articles/blogs, describing the use cases of generics in Golang. How would they use it? Why is it required (as in can you not do it easily/better without generics)? Stuff like that. They basically aren't convinced that generics is something they need/want in Go, but if the users can convince them, they will still go for it in the future of Go.

[1]: https://blog.golang.org/toward-go

   "I'm focusing today on possible major changes, such as 
   additional support for error handling, or introducing 
   immutable or read-only values,
   or adding some form of generics,
   or other important topics not yet suggested.

   We can do only a few of those major changes.
   We will have to choose carefully."

Anyone knows why the "The Playboy Interview: Moguls" (kindle) ebook seems to be no longer available at amazon?

What do you want than? Is there some lecture on this that would explain the architecture of such a computer?

Open Source Software (OSS) is not the same as Free Software (FS). And even with Free Software, the free doesn't mean necessarily Gratis. There is something called Free Open Source Software (FOSS), but even there the Free doesn't need to mean Gratis. Either way, I don't think there is something wrong with having a paid service, while still having your code being OSS. It means that you can access the code, and use the product for free, but you might want to pay for the services the company might offer on top of it. Not that I know if that's the case here, but you know, it's possible.

I understand why people voted on the referendum, and I was following that live as well. But back then people were less informed. But now, months later, people are (/should be) much better informed about all the bad consequences that come out of this. So while I might understand why politicians go through with this, what I don't understand is why people don't change their minds and put pressure on the politicians to stop this shit deal. Because really, I don't believe Europe will give them anything nice they are hoping for. The UK politicians even admit that they didn't do any financial forecast, and that the probability is very high they won't get any deal... This stuff really blows my mind...

I don't understand how they can still go through with this. As far as I've been following the analytics, news and coverage on this, the outcomes for UK are only negative. Can please someone enlighten me the good outcomes that will come out of this? Or is this really just about pride and stupidity?

I used to think the same as you, but you should know that your just changing the medium, using your hands instead of your mouth. The language still evolves with its culture and its users on a local level. They tried to make a universal sign language which is based on American Sign Language, but after traveling in different continents I can tell you that people using sign language, use the local version, and I don't think I met anyone who knows the universal one.

Personally I think using English as a linga franca is good enough, as most people already know it, and so there is no reason to do difficult about it.

It's not the first time people try to invent a new universal language, and see it never reach that goal.

One great video-course I can think of that fits your question is perhaps "Programming for everybody", by Dr. Chuck. I followed one of his other courses on language theory, and enjoyed it a lot. You can find it for free @ https://www.coursera.org/learn/python

Why? What about busses, trains, boats and so many others busy places. I don't see any TSA there, and I don't see anything happening there.

I'm also pretty convinced that the liquid restrictions are purely for commercial reasons, as you can still bring enough liquid, separated over small bottles and multiple people if needed. Afterwards you can simply buy a bigger container in the airport itself...

No you don't. As a nomad I fly a lot, and I always leave my laptop in its waterproof bag.

Maybe you could go with different layouts that you can set via the env file? Like Compact mode (for people like me that have a 13" laptop) and a normal mode. Or perhaps your config can go more complex than that. But I think if you download this plugin, you will also know what those numbers mean, I would think. I'm a UX noob though.

Thanks for bitbar @Shikkic, this will really help me to keep up my daily OSS contributions. Your plugin is also the reason why I downloaded bitbar, as I knew about it but never had the need to bloat up my menu bar even more. But this gave me all the reason I needed! :D

I loved the idea of this Bar Widget, but I had the same issues are you @FireBeyond.

Luckily you can easily hack the plugin as there's just 1 small file you have to edit (gh.5m.js)

The way you calculate your percentage is also super weird @Shikkic. It's all about daily contributes, but yet you calculate your percentage via the total contributes? I mean common, that will just give a fucking huge numbers. Also total contributes are not a stat I care about. Either way love the idea and the execution is quite cool :) Using it right now (albeit a tiny bit modified version)

here is a screenshot of my modified version (much smaller width, and some stats that I don't care about removed): http://www.imgpaste.net/image/AQBp

OP Here: This game was developed for the Hack.Summit Virtual Hackathon. We developed it with 3 people, in 3 different countries. The platforms that you see in the levels are generated based on commits from the current repository (level) you are playing.

A multiquine does require you to give input in order to determine what language to output. Although it will output the current file if no input is giving. More info @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_(computing)#Multiquines

11 yıl öncediscuss

I could be wrong, as I only learned about the concept of a quine recently. But the way I understand it, it is good enough to simply output it. I suppose you could write to a file as well, but where would you write to? The wikipedia page for a quine has a lot of examples and all of them seem to simply output to stdout, just as I did. I don't think the challenge talks at any point about I/O, so I do think you can use it if you would want to.

Ideally I would like a Full Time Remote position, but other offers are also welcome.

I have 2 years experience in the Game Industry where I made products for desktop, mobile, VCR and Console. I worked on games, (open source) technology. I also did R&D projects for games and game engines. I am fan of language design and love reading/learning about it. I work on Linux, Windows and OSX, with Arch Linux being my favorite environment.

Variation/Learning/Challenges are what I need in a job. Open source, and modern (cutting-edge) technology is what I desire.

Because hackers will always find a way.

I would assume it would have the same effect as with end-to-end encryption mails, where you just have unencrypted data when you are communicating with people that don't support this. Such as is the case with https://protonmail.ch/
