I can’t see people wanting to manage their own homepage. But then again, I remember we all did in high school for MySpace... maybe we will again.

The keyboard was what allowed such interaction.. How are nowadays' teens to manage such designs if their main device is a touchscreen?

The TagGroups is so part of my daily basis that I went back to the v56.0

I cannot stress enough how it helps me to switch between contexts. It's one of those things that you just did not know that you needed so much.

What options do we have?

Slack is offline 9 years ago

Why CPU goes like crazy every time slack loses connectivity?

You can easily test this by disconnecting from wifi. As soon as you're offline the fan starts spinning until you get your connection back.

[...] that you probably utilize for thousands of hours over a given year

Assuming 4hs net per day, 20 days/month, 12 months .. thats 960 hours/year

And that's assuming that you spent all those 4 hours _entirely_ on your text editor; no cli, no browser, no nothing.. only text editor.

I'd say that on avg we should be doing ~200 hours per year.. Are there any study about this?

So are you saying that bash is not actually executed but the characters are being printed on the screen and they looks as if the animation were still playing?

What I cannot understand from that explanation is how the animation time works. It should display the animation in chunks, with really fast frames, followed by pauses while it waits for data to be received.

I really agree with you. Think that there's a tension between how a computer works and how a functions operate on data.

Immutability and Referential Transparency help reduce that friction, but in the end we still have not found a real solution. That's why languages like Haskell require a bunch of gymnastics just to allow IO to be seen as pure functions.

Mathematically a Function is a Relation that has two special properties: uniqueness and existence.

(these properties names can be wrong as I've not study calculus in English)

So on the machine, Immutability plays an important role on the first piece, uniqueness, so it tries to guarantee that results are not just "equal objects, but different instances", which breaks the function definition.

Of course that functions that return a new object for the same arguments, even if it's immutable, are not true math functions.

To make this work on Firefox mobile, first activate desktop mode, and then click on any link.

Can't really understand why a perfectly capable device is access denied without such trick, it clearly works.

Due to these poor ad experiences, the usage of extensions that block ads across the web continues to rise, up about 30% from just last year. This reduces the ability for publishers to continue creating free content and threatens the sustainability of the web ecosystem.

Is this the first step to remove ad blockers from Chrome? I guess that 30% also affects Google.

I know I know stupidity beats malice .. but when I first saw that same message I thought: nice marketing stunt, well played Google

I guess they dont know about the `Location` header?

Thanks for bringing back my own memories!!

I had forget about this but at my first year and while the algebra professor was drawing 3D vectors to explain the lecture, I was thinking "that is a 2D surface, so there should be a linear transformation between the two worlds".

Later at home, I've found such space transformation and built a small 3D world that you can walk, using only vectors and plain triangles :)
