And the teams are rightsized!

Innovation, oh my, sometimes it feels like the fat ones (and, by proxy, everyone else) are living in some alternate fantasy world where the mantra "you're not gonna need it" is taken to the extreme, so they're not even trying.

The pendulum should swing back to complex and more complicated interfaces sometime — but right now these are the dark times where, for example, Netflix, this huge, popular movie and show library, doesn't even have a way to find out exactly what movies with some actor or director it has available. It's hard for me to wrap my head around that.

Your project does look useful and on point though!

What does one do if they wish to see the actual contents of this crate? The web interface I'm looking at contains no hints at peeking inside, not even direct archive download links, nothing.

I can't believe that a good way to see what's inside is to make a rust project, add the crate and then go searching around the local filesystem.

From programming perspective, there's nothing sufficiently preposterous in the idea of dividing by zero that would require bringing the whole world to a low-level halt just for attempting that by default. You tried to calculate the average value of what turned out to be an empty list? Go suffer the most severe exception, like the ones reserved for those reading from nonexistant memory.

For me, it was a book on stoicism ("A Guide to the Good Life — The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy" by William B Irvine) that showed me that, while it's not possible to avoid the inevitable pains and losses — just semi-regular thoughts about it, imagining the world where the losses have already happened, allows immense enjoyment and appreciation of the current moments.

Also, as an unexpected bonus, the book showed that philosophy shouldn't neccesarily be only theoretical high-brow word games, it can be a pleasant and highly practical experience as well.

It was very hard to read a text this bright on a white background.

Their culture sure is a bit alien. The authors are boasting about the dosbox they've broken, yet (it looks to me that) not a single bug/crash has been reported.

Edit: happily I'm wrong. Quoting ajenner below, "there are emulators (for other targets) which do emulate NTSC decoding properly, but until I did the research for this demo nobody understood how the CGA card generates composite signals well enough to be emulate it properly. I have some code which I hope to be adding to DOSBox (and any other emulators that want it) soon."

For [0, 1), would the naive approach of generating a string of, say, 16 digits, sticking a "0." in front of it and calling strod / atof yield similarly uniform results?

For a good screenshot utility with a gui, there's xfce4-screenshooter from the xfce desktop suite. It's the bees knees, has the possibility to capture the system cursor (a feature the maim readme was complaining about) and a fine region capturing.

Well, you can still jump in on the very fun and competetive Al Zimmerman's challenge (which ends in about a week, though), the current task is exactly about solving the given Scrabble sets in the best possible way: http://www.azspcs.net/Contest/AlphabetCity

Not meta enough. When was the last time you designed the chart for a book or other static media?

I'd like to think that in this age there's no need to force a static, unexplorable view of the data to the user at all.

Also, they didn't survive at all, they're all dead.

How to deal with the discontent:

1. Make things worse for everybody, much worse,

2. After public outrage, return things to how they were before #1,

3. Profit, while the public rejoices and celebrates a victory.

One of the killer features to me for using Opera was a feature to browse with images turned off (cached images only) and a "show image" option on the right-click menu: coupled with extreme caching, it allowed to have a very tolerable browsing experience on very slow networks (mobile GRPS, etc).

Firefox misimplemented this feature by missing its point -- its "view image" opened the missing image in a new page -- instead of just loading it in its place in the page, and I'm not sure it used caching as good as well.
