The main heroes in Turn: Washington's Spies are really unlikable. Is this because I'm British rather than American or are they just poor characters? I can't imagine I'm meant to dislike them, right?

Never heard of such a thing? It's only in every other sci-fi movie and tv show :-)

I feel very foolish now. Yesterday I was imagining a proper keyboard with glass rather than plastic keys. Almost like those glass chess sets you get.

I played with a Lenovo Yoga Book in the store. I typed on its glass keyboard and didn't made many mistakes. Actually, I felt no difference from a regular keyboard. Muscle memory isn't related to the key feel.

Glass? How's that to type with? Never heard of such a thing.

I have a problem at work I'm stuck on and I can't find anything online about this bug. Has anyone ever had a systemd timer configured `OnCalendar=*-*-* 01:30:00` (so 1:30 AM) but it's firing _every 12 hours_?! It runs 1:30 PM too as well as 1:30 AM. Other Linux boxes with "identical, as far as I can tell" configuration behave properly (run once every 24 hours at 1:30 AM). Ubuntu/17.04, Linux/4.9.36, systemd/232. Any tips greatly appreciated, been stuck for days on this! #ComputersAreNotDeterministic

Very tempted to experiment with some personal off-grid solar power, pity winter just began & the UK gets so little sun year round. Thanks to this great site stumbled upon thru HN's Show sunboxlabs.com/201... Maybe once Spring rolls round again.

That's pretty normal if your browser decides to submit two requests to the server. Your reply will be created on first request. The second request will give you the error instead of creating a duplicate reply. It can happen if your press enter twice quickly or on slow internet connections.

Would a vampire actually need to suck blood or will a human heart pump most of the blood into their mouths once the carotid artery is punctured?

Working on an extremely minimal C binding between GTK+WebKit and Go for building a desktop application. It's somewhat similar to what the Electron framework is doing, but without Node and C++; I only want a window and an empty canvas, nothing more.
Eric
Are you not worried about the size of the resulting application? Electron apps are always behemoths in size & chew resources.
