they're actually providing a service. It is easy to consume pirated content, but have it curated, listed and streamed directly to your tv adds value, so people are willing to pay for it.

I don't even have to open the article to know that this is a Brazillian police operation. Our country has long tradition of silly naming police operations.

Javascript is being used to stream the HTML. the title is "Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript"

I love LINQ just because it made HOF look like SQL

The only thing I like in SQL is that is almost the same language in decades. Learn it once and you're done. If you really need, you could write macros yourself. I don't see the value of learning a new language to do the same thing

I like using A3 (folded as 2 a4 sheets) foolscap paper, plain white not ruled. They're usually light (56gr/m2) so they're pretty transparent, making convinient to use graph paper under them as line guides. To assemble them I use a manilla folder for 3 staples (couldn't find the exact name but its like [0]) and 3 binders; In the end they're like this: https://twitter.com/gtroja_/status/1489717293508665349

Maybe they have a way to listen what a culture says but nobody else listens

I feel adhd is only a diagnosis beacause society demands to much attention/focus; I've once told my therapist if flying was required to be part of the society my diagnosis would be unwinged

The conectiva Linux distro had a programmer that wrote a book on Shell Script in which he implemented a bash server, but as apache cgi scripts. I learned to properly program with that book

I love MIPS only because I had to implement it in VHDL. And program it in assembly. And byte code. And had to implement a compiler for it. At the time I didn't like it that much, but looking back I would do it again

I never understood why we pour clock signal when that signal should be budgeted. Like, I know some computation needs x clock cycles to be done. Why not provide only ~x clock cycles to the component?
