I wonder what % of comments here are from bots.

Great answer! Thank you!

I can see why it isn't a local or global maxima solving function, but it surely can be modelled by one, right?

Is it perhaps available behind a flag somewhere?
Re:MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format on Monday January 26, 2026 @01:07PM (#46769225)
How do you update pmiles? Do you have to rebuild the entire map every time? If so, I think that's a downside/limitation for some use cases.

I think "it" refers to the process of sitting on the mat.

And vice versa, many of our societal issues would go away, if companies won't only be concerned about profits.

Let's not blame the players for the game rules being flawed.

Few years have passed and your guess is still wrong.

Just this tiny polyfill, and you should be OK on Safari. https://github.com/ungap/custom-elements

There is a polyfill for customiziing built-ins on Safari.

Re:Why did Prolog lose steam? (2010) on Wednesday April 19, 2023 @11:51AM (#35629709)
Sure. Using things like loops and conditionals to stitch parts of the specification together is not a very declarative way to do things, imo. Regarding a better system I don't know, they all have their quirks, I guess. My point was that purely declarative approach has its limits and often times breaks when facing real world complexity.
Re:Why did Prolog lose steam? (2010) on Wednesday April 19, 2023 @08:26AM (#35627270)
This is the case with any other declarative programming system: while you only care about "what", i.e. the end result matching your declarative specification, you are living a dream. Once you need to fine-tune the details of how you get there (e.g. performance, resource use), or tweak the end result in a way that is not easy to describe within the constraints of your declarative dream land, things get ugly pretty quickly. Query hints in some SQL dialects, vendor-specific hacks in HTML/CSS, Kubernetes YAML templating, etc. are all sad stories about it.
Re:Understanding ChatGPT on Sunday March 26, 2023 @01:09PM (#35316819)
The answer perhaps depends on how you define "understanding" and "meaning", and whether these concepts are separable from language at all.
Re:JavaScript hydration is a workaround, not a solution on Thursday September 01, 2022 @03:50PM (#32682081)
Just curious, if it's pure htmx, doesn't this mean that most of UI interactive actions do a roundtrip to the server to update the app state? Or have you used hyperscript for some parts?
Re:I analyzed hospital price lists so you didn't have to on Thursday July 07, 2022 @03:25AM (#32010888)
What language is it?
Well, being able to identify potentially locally optimal solutions without having to go through an entire optimization process yourself is a pretty powerful heuristic in my book.
Appeal to nature might be a logical fallacy in arguments, but in practice is a useful heuristic anyway.

Well, in your example, with default params, you get back an "undefined undefined", not an empty string, so even simple code is sometimes easy to get wrong. Proper amount of typing actually helps a lot to avoid it.

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your answers!
Re:Why Jira Sucks on Thursday December 31, 2020 @07:53PM (#25599366)
This is so nicely formulated, thank you so much! I'm just thinking, isn't what you describe the general problem of agile methods/processes, and not Jira's, as it's just one of tools built to assist in agile implementation?

Well, trade sanctions are a form of collective punishment.
Re:GitHub blocked me and all my libraries on Monday March 16, 2020 @04:57PM (#22597673)
Since when are Russians responsible for the guys currently in charge of them, is that what you ask? Since around year 2000. The same bastards are elected. Every. Freaking. Time.

Why shouldn't people who collectively, i.e. en masse, support their government by actively disrespecting other country sovereignty and border (e.g. visiting Crimea) shouldn't be hold responsible? I think they should! And it looks like I'm not alone, check out the list of countries who support sanctions against Russian companies and individuals. As for the damage done to the OSS, I believe it's pretty minimal. He'll just move his stuff to GitLab, end of story.

Re:GitHub blocked me and all my libraries on Monday March 16, 2020 @04:44PM (#22597487)
Of course they should. Aren't Americans democratically electing their government every now and then? Does the US foreign policy ever change in any significant way during the last 40+ years?
Re:GitHub blocked me and all my libraries on Monday March 16, 2020 @02:38PM (#22595870)
Well, indeed there is. Shouldn't Russians share some collective responsibility for their government actions? I guess, in this case this was this specific person's share of responsibility.
E.g. because of much longer guaranteed support/supply life, which is a must if you are trying to run a serious production. There might be some other reasons too.
