I prefer to play rich farmers in power armor. The colony wealth keeps attracting raiders, who we slaughter for their loot.

You seem to be confusing C stdlib with a CLI?

Dashboard is a UI fed by signal processing code which is the backend.

A definition so broad as to be useless.

Is it a UI when someone calls memcpy to move data from a file to a screen buffer?

Data visualization ≠ UI and signal processing is traditionally done in C

Do no harm.

So don’t give patient data to the secret police.

Wish you hadn’t deleted the post so I had to go find the new one.

Next time just edit it.

Link?

Thanks for teaching me something, but the obscurity of your answer just illustrates how rare that requirement is in human readable formats, and mostly limited to data formats designed for numeric precision, like HDF5, FITS or protobuf.

What text based serialization formats do enforce numeric precision?

AFAIK it’s always left up to the writer (serializer)

If you’re using a library to handle deserialization , the ugliness of the serial format doesn’t matter that much.

Just call yaml.load() and forget about it.

Putting it in a DB is the easy part.

It’s support in a thousand other systems that deal with addresses that’s the real problem.

For something like a street address, interoperability is a hell of a lot more important than culturally preferred spelling.

What is the future of X.org if all the mainstream distros drop X11 for Wayland?

Any other projects we should know about?

I never minded studying, but always hated writing essays, even though pretty good at it.

How do we train people to think, and validate that they learned, when they can outsource it to a computer?

The author alludes to oral exams, though they have a whole host of other issues.

The YouTube engineers working on advertising are tasked with maximizing revenue, not making the user experience better.

It’s a de-facto monopoly and the only way to get better user experience is through adblock.

Blurry photo and ad pop up nagging me to install google adware.

Yeah I don’t need to refill my battery in 2 hours, but it’s nice to be able to meaningfully top off between errands to make the most of a small PHEV battery.

Last I heard something like 98% of new cars/trucks sold in America have automatic.

We’re talking Patreon rules not US law.

I just set up AndroidTV so they can watch ad-free YouTube.

Still need a better setup for extracting Amazon video without ads.
