The "smoke and mirrors" thing here is having the driver seat empty. If you need the human on board to be able to quickly intervene, it would be much more convenient to put him behind the wheel. But for marketing reasons, they pref

> What good is the safety driver doing in the passenger seat? The same as a driving instructor. He has a brake pedal, and he can pick up the steering wheel if necessary.

Rebase creates an entire new branch and drops the previous one, it is a form of history destruction. Commits are actually snapshots of the entire repository, not just diffs, so even if the diff is the same, if the base is different, it is n

You do whatever you want on your own repository, but as soon as you make anything public, for me, it is here to stay, I consider every push to be pulled by someone else, and if you rebase or do anything to change your history, you have just

Writing a malloc/free replacement was a 1 day project we did at school in the first couple of weeks of learning C/UNIX. Many students didn't even know how to code before that. All that to say that writing an allocator is not

The thing is that you are not looking for a new laptop while you are driving , but you may be looking for a gas station because your "low fuel" light just turned on. And how are you going to find that gas station (which may not b

If you saw a giant, attention grabbing billboard for something you are looking for, you wouldn't hate it. In the context of roads, these are businesses putting their signs on the side of the road. For example I usually find billboards&

YouTube doesn't, but many video creators do. Not something YouTube has much control on though, for them, that's just content and is served as such. You can use the SponsorBlock extensions to automatically skip these if you want.

Natural rubber is also plastic. We tend not to call naturally occurring polymers "plastics", but natural rubber is usually vulcanized, so it is not that natural. Natural rubber from tires is a significant source of microplastics (

ripgrep is one of the best grep replacement you can find, maybe even the best, and also one of the most famous Rust projects. I don't know of a sed equivalent, but I guess that would be easy to implement as Rust has good regex support

The meme is likely to have profited both Studio Ghibli and OpenAI, as the studios probably got some publicity for it, without direct competition as Ghibli is not in the business of drawing memes. Either way, it probably doesn't amount

Is it really underrated? That's a shame then. Nausicaa is my favorite for several reasons. It may also be the most significant as it is technically not a Ghibli but the movie that lead to the creation of the studios.
