I feel like we're getting into "the raindrop doesn't feel responsible for the flood" territory here, and I like your second interpretation better. It's absolutely the choice society has made, but society is the in

That's still indicative of choosing to spend your time in an environment where content is algorithmically controlled. Which is most of the mainstream ones, but following along with the mainstream is a choice.

You have to define "win" here a little better. Especially in a war. Win as in conquer the rest of the US? lol, no. That wasn't going to happen. The industrial base just wasn't there. Win as in make it so costly to re-tak

> don't care how computers can be more useful for them My guess is that the OP doesn't see this as a computer being more useful for them, but instead sees it as being less useful as it requires more work to get the same result.

Oh, shoot. I got the way GMT shifts wrong. That's embarrassing. Fair enough.

I think you mean 1300GMT, I don't think the UK owns enough of the world these days to futz with UTC.

To continue the analogy, since I don't use enums, I'm also the person who isn't driving the car. Can you explain how owning a car without ABS and not driving it is less safe? Edit: Wait, or am I not using breaks? I think the

by Kamq 3y ago
I think that's a bad analogy because I actually use ABS and TC. I don't really use an enum heavy style of programming. Maybe twice per project or so. Putting a default branch in a couple switch statements also seems to get me back
164.
by Kamq 3y ago
I take it you use enums fairly regularly? I don't really use them that much, so they're superfluous for the most part. Sort of like a car having a bowling alley. I mean, I'll take them if it doesn't complicate the langua

type Gender int const ( Unspecified Gender = iota Male Female Other ) Works the same way. Declaring an empty variable of the type Gender (var x Gender) results in unspecified.

They really only did it on chrome, I think? At least at work, I kept getting modals saying adblockers weren't allowed, but I never got those on firefox. It seems to have gone away though (probably an update from ublock) even on chrome

I'll agree with this as a self taught person. I'll admit to being a little shaky on the types of programming needed in enterprise projects at the beginning (less of a focus on maintainable code, but probably more of a focus on wha

by Kamq 3y ago
Sure, but there's value in understanding how to do it yourself, even if you don't use it at work. And there's also value in seeing how other people approached a problem.

by Kamq 3y ago
I would argue that most aren't. Most principals I've heard seem to happen because they look good on paper or sound smart in a meeting.

Aren't they still sovereign? They just might be sanction/fined by peers or kicked out of the union if they don't comply? It's not like someone's going to declare war on Ireland and conquer them to force compliance t

Yeah, but today number of cores is the rough proxy for that metric. How do you operate in that world if "multithreading isn't the answer"?

This is fair, and if you've got the time and inclination, I'd love to hear about your experience and the tricks you ended up pulling. There are definitely advanced areas of CUDA, and you can go deeper on nearly anything. But we ar

It's talking about domains going down in general as far as I can tell. People with their own domain are just much more likely for it to happen. It seems you have two specific options. Centralize on a big company's url, which you c
