Comment on: #HackerLivesMatter - Systemic abuse in the software industry is ruining lives and taking them.

Why're you hanging out in /v/programming if you hate programmers?

Comment on: Concerning type float, if I typed out 38 digits, put a decimal point anywhere on that number except for the ends, and chose my 7 significant digits, can I really deal with those significant digits?

You don't really lose accuracy every time you do a calculation. The numbers floating point can represent, it represents with 100% accuracy. Calculations on numbers it represents accurately, where it also represents the result accurately, won't magically make the result magically less accurate. It's just that it can't represent all numbers, including some which seem trivial in base 10, like 1.1, because they have an infinite or very large number of digits in base 2.

Comment on: How I replaced an Apple TV with Linux and JavaScrip

You didn't really read the post did you.

Comment on: How I replaced an Apple TV with Linux and JavaScrip

Why? Doing what I did, i didn't have to buy more unnecessary hardware.

That's interesting, I didn't know that. However, can it stream arbitrary torrents?

Comment on: Python: Best GUI dev. toolkit?

I recall having a lot of trouble getting someone else's tkinter code to work on OS X. I don't think it's there by default, nor was it easy to install, I can't remember if I got it working at all. Things may have changed since then though, or I may be remembering incorrectly.

Comment on: These Are the Highest-Paying Programming Languages (do you agree?)

Notice how he said "a lot", not "all".

Comment on: Housecat, my new static site generator

I would be honored. What's your website?

Keep me updated if you ever get around to moving :)

Comment on: Java or Python

Huh? AFAIK, type safety comes from compile time checks. It shouldn't have any effect on runtime memory consumption, should it?

Comment on: This is why GitLab is better than GitHub.

I recently installed gogs on my own server, migrating various projects from GitHub. This certainly seems like a good time to move away from GH.
