Nothing is decaying. It is an implicit conversion. To say something "decays" implies something else is lost, the array is still there.

It took me an afternoon to glue together my own DIY SSG with all the features I wanted. I did that after a previous SSG didn't do what I wanted and I didn't know how to fix it since I don't know ruby. An SSG especially is suc

Your inability to work with Linux distros does not make Linux distros walled gardens. Your argument would be equivalent to me claiming that the closed source nature of the average Windows software makes the software itself a walled garden.

To be fair, sampling from a very specific subset of programmers (ones who would participate in a code jam) to do this study just seems like it would introduce various kinds if sampling bias. I would like to see someone try to figure out a b

I don't think the code presented was taken directly from stackoverflow, and I don't think that's what the person I replied to said. That being said, even if it was from stackoverflow, stackoverflow is a poor resource for olde

I mean obviously you need some way of executing the command and you're probably not going to write a C program to call execve to do it, but the point is that it doesn't involve any shell features and aside from the escape syntax f

No, the point is that if you go into a discussion saying: "X is better than Y but I should warn you that I never bothered learning Y but instead spent my time learning X" your ability to provide an accurate comparison is already p

Replace the keyboard and palm rest with an X220 keyboard and palm rest. I believe there are also other modifications you can do like fitting a higher resolution screen (requires soldering). But I haven't gotten that far yet.

No trackpoint, oversized trackpad, I think I'll stick with my modified X230 for the time being. An AMD option also wouldn't hurt but its not as big of a priority for me as a trackpoint.

The form factor isn't the issue. The person you replied to was referencing the claims Valve made that they went through a lot of testing to ensure that the SSD chosen didn't interfere with other components in terms of EM interfere

Your response makes no sense. There is no theory. It's really simple, actually: If you have a mine-field with an uncountable number of mines, knowing the locations of 200 mines won't help you cross the mine-field safely. If, inste

I'm sorry but obviously you had to learn how to use nushell but you didn't learn how to use find (you don't need xargs) or bash (you don't need find). Your first problem solved in bash: shopt -s globstar for f

You only need to know, by heart, _a_ list (even a subset) of the documented behaviour of C, you can simply refer to the standard whenever you happen upon something not in your list of known good (or known undefined) behaviour. It's ent

But why, no really, I get that we're technically at fault, but the world changes, there are billions (about 5 billion to be exact) of extinct species, which ones do we pick to un-extinct? Do we have to prove that we or one of our ances

It's possible that the apartment came furnished and that the bed being referred to was not a specific child's but rather a bed made for a child in which supposedly multiple children slept in before dying.

Unless the API itself is poorly designed, 429 _means_ "you have reached a rate limit". That might not be so self explanatory for someone who isn't familiar with HTTP error codes, but that person maybe shouldn't be attemp

It's never easy to achieve something with clear code (unless you are writing a hello world program) but it is a skill you can practice and which will pay off more than any comment. At the end of the day, a comment which clearly explain

by Arch-TK 4y ago
I don't think your experience is uncommon, I agree that the vast majority of code out there isn't very clear. That being said, you have found code which was clear without comments, so clearly you do have an idea of what clear code

>Many people think their code is clear. This is true, but if you just get these same people to write more comments, they will also think their comments are clear when they're, in fact, not. I think anyone who is capable of writing c

I don't think the size of a project is that important if you're looking for insight into software development. There's certainly poor ways to go about developing small and large projects and most of the insight is to be gaine

That's why I said most. Obviously there exist languages, such as elm, where this is not the case, but in the case of those languages, the teaching literature (as is the case with elm) explains these things. Most languages don't do

Distinguishing unary minus from binary minus is not done by spacing in parsers. Most modern language parsers ignore whitespace except where it would cause the concatenation of two identifiers (or in the case of languages like python or nim,

It's a bit hard to parse it outside of languages like lisp because of infix.

Nobody has time for anything they don't make time for, and making time for 2 hours of exercise related activities is far more difficult to muster (in terms of willpower) than making time for 10-20 minutes of the same. I'm glad tha

Of course I do but I watch stuff with my fiance, the idea of putting an exercise bike in the living room with her would likely not go down well. Likewise, in 10 minutes you can watch some short youtube video. The point is not that you can s

Time cost is one of the major obstacles for more than just the reason of "it takes this X minutes out of your week". If you tell me I have to spend 45 minutes doing exercise 3 times a week my mind will be filled with excuses and t
