Can't these 5% still compounds over time if you were at the equilibrium before? I have no idea how much it represents in weight gain over a day, but just 10 g/d is still close to 5 kg weight gain over a year. Though I agree with y

Yes exactly. Sometimes they ask you if you can negotiate with your employer to shorten this period, which is often the case. Of course, they would rather it was shorter, but hiring is already a multi-months long process in most cases, so a

Well, first `x > MAX_INT || x < MIN_INT` makes little sense if x is an int, it will never be true. If adding a+b, you would check b > MAX_INT - a. I would say that's very rare, only for special cases or defensive programming.

But surely we can devise a way to minimise abuse and still let people who wants the features have them? This defeatist attitude is pretty sad, we have to be careful when designing new features, but we shouldn't let bad users just make

Because any app that is social in nature (where interactions between users is required really) that can only reach 50% of users does not have 50% of the potential value, it's closer to 0. As an example, my girlfriend's a nurse, an

It's a trade-off. With OTA updates you increase your attack surface, but you make it more likely that the device is updated if needed.

Not that you are necessarily wrong, but I am not sure your examples really show that. The Dow Jones is at an all time high, even adjusting for inflation, and not by a little. Yes, there are dips, but over the long term it seems to hold. As

In Europe, a lot of people (including many essential workers) commute across a border every day to work. What do you do with them?

I don't know, I'm not sure they are really solving something. Local residents can probably rely on public transports/walking/cycling to move within the city. People from outside probably need a car to reach the city itse

I once booked a return ticket which did not go back to the same airport (though it was the same city, 2 hours of public transport appart). I was pretty confused while waiting at the gate when they announced the "wrong" airport, to

Even if they are legitimately asthmatic, then it means you pretty much need to be asthmatic now to compete at the very top level. Anyway you look at it it feels wrong.

> Not to mention a map will always introduce null or option types that you have to handle. It is the same with the switch, at least in C/C++. You either have a default, or must list all the possible cases and still return something

Depends on your language, but you could use the type system instead; e.g. the function is chosen by the compiler based on the type of the value. In more dynamic languages, you could probably use introspection. Lastly, this does not alleviat

It massively hurts readability and can quickly become messy in my experience. If you're running on multiple targets and testing on host, then you have an #ifdef spaghetti in no time. In all the codebases I have worked on, they started

It's a popular option because it is the only way to watch some content, especially sport. It's not that people like them, it's just that between paying to watch football with ads and not watching football, they prefer the for

But wouldn't this be a reasonable feature used by the classifier to reach its conclusion? They can't control for everything, it would become meaningless. I think the questions about age/sex/ethnicity are sensible in that

They use frequency hopping also as far as I know.

Is student debt really in thing in mainland Europe? Certainly some people need to borrow money to cover costs of living, but tuition is very low (from free to a couple thousands a year) in most places I know about.

There certainly are some valid use cases. But the current usefulness/energy consumption ratio is pretty dreadful, and from my point of view it's future is not looking very good either. If energy was free, then who cares; otherwi

Error handling is pretty horrible. And also it happily accepts negative values.

Wouldn't hard problems make it easier to remember? If you spent a couple of months a few hundred lines of code, then you probably know it much better than something you finished in an afternoon. Personally, I can remember pretty much e

Rather problem transferred down the line. Sure, we can do without those 30%, but wouldn't it be better to find a way to satisfy demand rather?

Yes? Well maybe not clay, but the choice of materials is certainly subject to cycles and hype. See bioconcrete for instance these days for construction in general.

A minor point, it's not based on miles, but cycles (takeoffs/landings) for structural parts or hours for engines.

If that means 5% of the workforce gets layoff, that can represent thousands of people. It can also have a snowballing effect. Lastly, there's a lot of capital involved. Idle plants means your fixed costs have to be divided among fewer

Is that easy? I assume they are going to have Syrian pounds as cash. Then I guess you need to put them in a local bank account and use that account to buy BTC. Can you buy BTC with Syrian pounds? If yes, wouldn't the exchange rate be d

There's a duality to this that often makes me wonder. It seems like a huge issue, but at the same time, the examples everyone hear about are 20+ years old. I would have thought that, with the explosion of digital systems, they should h

I'd say there are 4 main places in Switzerland: around both ETH (the most prestigious universities) in Zürich and Lausanne, with plenty of spinoffs, in Geneva (mostly finance) and in Zug (lots of crypto). Zürich has all (most?) of the
