Trump opponents might cringe at thinking about Trump as a leader, but it is the origin of his success. The L word is generally over-used and over-ascribed. For example, leadership might correlate with being a "hero" or being mor

Seeing some sort of van-life/starship-crew-cabin crossover would be interesting. But i'm not confident that your aspiration makes sense. A lot of institutional knowledge is locked behind corporate walls. We can assume a crew cabin

I was confused too. There's no mention of current implementations. It's like half an encyclopedia article missing the good half. For example, TLDraw has it's own inking algorithm of pressure+velocity+path -> generated outl

They should have gone with GendArch as it kinda makes more sense than GendBuntu.

Ironic that the OP's carefully packed bag is lacking a spoon or bowl. I guess it's easier to dispose of eating utensils at every meal. Or have the money to eat restaurant meals for every serving.

Why can't I stackalloc an array of references? Shouldn't it be as simple as stackalloc nint[5]; ? Somebody decided that "safety" included rejecting obvious concepts like this.

In my theory of "human-readability", odd double tokens like :: can exist successfully so long as there is sufficient utility and logic in the single token : Tokens are inseparable from human instincts of single = less, double = mo

Not only is dotnet development is the benchmark to aspire to (IMO), i'm not sure you could name another corporate project that comes even close. Is there a way to globally see github project activity by rank? All of dotnet is MIT. They

Why is the Facebook bot downloading a tarball a million times? Is this developer error (the bot should ignore links to binaries) or does Facebook genuinely interact with links leading to binaries, e.g. for caching or something...

I wonder if anybody has tried inheriting from System.ValueType or System.Object...I need to fire up an IDE and see what kind of virtuals and abstracts are exposed by doing so. If even possible. It seems like an inheritance hierarchy build u

Is cheating possible because games are written in low level languages which have to have precise tracked positions of elements in memory? If your garbage collector is grabbing an entire arena of memory and moving it constantly, doesn't

When I was doing napkin math it seemed pretty surprising to me that, for example, a 30 year roof replacement at an estimated $30,000 amortized over 30 years yields 1000/year, or $83 per month. Now consider a set of tires for a car, rep

I'm trying to understand your point of view. Where is the extra money coming from to amortize the costs of major repair items? I think you are correct. It's just that nobody actually considers the amortization costs when calculati

Transparency would prove or disprove this. Release the algorithm and let us decide for ourselves. In my experience, Instagram made an algorithm change 3-4 years ago. It used to be that my feed was exactly my interests. Then overnight my fee

Pardon my ignorance, since I don't know C, but is it true to say that the length of string "Foo" is greater than 4 because of the null terminating byte? Or maybe there is no concept of string length? I could see this getting

The most reasonable assumption is that the CEO is using dishonest rhetoric to upsell the LLM, instead of taking your approach and assuming the CEO is confused about the LLM's capability. There are savvy people who know when to say &quo

You know talking about progress bars, it takes a lot of confidence to program a linear progress bar. You think you know when loading will be complete and think you know can break down the incremental progress made during loading. Instead we

Finland is a "high trust" country, isn't it? I can't see this concept working working when > 10% of the population would game the system to get more "off-the-record" free time.

Yeah this entire discussion about these high level framework would be cooler to discuss the lower level APIs. As far as I know, the entirety of Windows rendering stack is built on either GDI or DirectX? With Win32 even being built on GDI? I

As a counterexample, some casual googling about cotton suggests that there is an ideal workflow which will result in superior cotton fibers before harvesting. Here is a quote from the conclusion section of the linked article: "Cotton f
