I really like the bendy train in the artistic rendering. What materials would allow for railroad car chassis and bodies which could bend and torque with the curve of the track like rubber? I think you would need lots of wheels or a relatively pointless flex-inducing system on each car to even get it to bend in this fashion.

Perhaps it just made for a pretty picture, and a completely impractical reality :)

Once I'm deaf enough, definitely.

Pseudo-anonymous. Research it a bit if you aren't aware of the implications.

"Seems to completely work around the reasons why Bitcoin etc. were interesting in the first place as a technology."

I respectfully disagree. The original goal of Bitcoin was to create a new financial system and instrument which ultimately enables people to pay for things.

I might pay for it if you'll provide competitively priced developer and end-user support.

Agreed, the sort interface in go is one of the worst parts, and doesn't translate to any other language I'm familiar with. The article was mildly entertaining but by the end left much to be desired.

Shoulda just gone with python, rust, c, crystal lang.. anything else for sorting!

Pi holes were already discussed extensively and at length a few months ago:

Any time it is at a pleasurable level, there is some amount of damage occurring. This isn't news.

Sometimes being human is such a bummer! I'd rather be deaf and have had happy ears when I was young than grow old and never "used" them, though. YMMV, a lot.

Confusing article. Would've preferred to just see a dictionary of terms and definitions.

I've been piloting this program and I've got to say it's been a convenient way to pay without draining my real bank account. IMO this is a killer product compared to everything else I've experienced with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency this far, it really bridges the gap.

Heck, I even used it to pay my back taxes to the IRS.

From TFA: "These examples are written in neutral pseudocode that should be adaptable to most any imperative language."

False. The examples are written in Go, a generally easy to read language. Maybe the author thought it is a funny joke. Low bar :)

I seem to be doing well and living nicely off mostly toxins, then.

"To render the diagram" is a pretty good reason.

Why is this promotion about a book published in 1994 interesting and worthy of my attention? Not news, more like nonsense.

This is flat out not true. FB doesn't employ 10s of thousands of human moderators.

According to a 3-month old article, $FB supposedly employs 7,500 moderators [0], though it's unclear what constitutes "employment" in this case. Probably a salary of less than $5k/yr. Are there really thouhsands of content moderators pulling up to FBHQ in Menlo Park 5 days a week? I don't think so, no.

It reminds me of a certain kind of sheath. Don't want too come off as too vulgar, but latin roots reveal all:

The creator, Solomon Hykes, rubbed a lot of people the wrong way with his arrogance and narcissism, not to mention poor netiquette.

Docker is also a huge layer cake of code, not elegant or beautiful by any stretch. At this point there is enough lipstick on the pig that it more or less works okay in general, though frequently still remains the source of many a headache.

Spacemacs is superb once you get it setup right. Best of every world!

Salaried employees almost never are.

What about the underside of the vehicle? I remember hearing it was a super big tightly guarded secret. Was that ever true? Is it still?

Does DF have a multiplayer mod like rimworld? I love playing together with my partner.

Maybe blown away by wind and / or burned dry by the summer heat.

You seem out of touch with reality (I intend this in the gentlest way possible).

> An F150 consumes ~2 litres of fuel an hour at idle

Where'd you get this number? AFAICT this is not true.

More like a little less than 1 liter for a 4.6L V8 motor.

What is the approximate price range to get everything needed?

How did you get the remote control to work? Looks like you started with an Xbox controller?

Makes sense now, thanks!

What is this? Google thinks it's some sort of metal stamp.

Thanks matee.
