Its a company. They don't give a single flying fuck.

Hi Scott! Yes, racists are wrong and calling them out works.

Because the whole thing is about embedding images as text, so the interesting bit is not showing the image, but the resulting encoding in the racket source.

New comment by gcmrtc in "The rule says, “No vehicles in the park”"

> The park could contain loose soil on the edge of a cliff, so any vehicle driving there could cause a landslide that topples the vehicle over the cliff and could kill anyone on the beach below. No vehicles in the park.

That would be a terrible phrasing then. It should have been phrased something like "Landslide hazard, no weight more than 1ton allowed anywhere in the park." or something in that vein.

Looks like that lawyer guy is not new on hacking stuff: https://matthewbutterick.com/

Not exactly the curriculum of a twitter weirdo.

AFAIK twitch deletes your saved streams after some time.

This happens to me with pins. Basically I don't remember the numbers, just the shape they form when entered in the keypad.

I recently opened a new account with a bank and their app has a randomized keypad and now I'm screwed.

You're right, and donwvotes are from that kind of people.

> Honestly? Not everyone wants (or should have) to do that in order to touch some Go code

For hobby projects maybe, if it's part of your job you should know what you're doing and read the fine manual (basic documentation in this case).

Well, that is what most of your users would have done anyway. You dealt with a reviewer instead of multiple angry users that couldn't log in, looks like the review process works.

Me and my daughters love Krita. Even with a cheap pen tablet it's a lot of fun. I set up a monthly payment of 1€, a small contribution to its development.

I don't know why "application performance" is brought up here, do you mean adoption?

I think Racket is a pretty bad choice, I'm from Italy and here you find that word in news about mafia and organized crime, so imagine the kind of association it bears with it.

Naming things is hard, but sometimes hackers seem to choose to make it harder... https://racket-lang.org/new-name.html

gcmrtc — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 13:27:23 +0000

You'd have the same problem with pagination, you'd need to Ctrl+f on each page.

Solution? Use the website's search form.

I don't get this.

My solution is to use uBlock Origin and block tracking altogether.

This still allows GA to track you, it just removes some information from the tracking beacon.

Also csvkit, xsv is way faster but less feature-complete (based on my experience last time I used both)
