I’ve scanned QR codes just a handful of times in the last decade, and I can’t remember any of them being useful.

In my experience most tricky bugs aren't isolated, but caused by module A assuming something about module B that isn't true, which makes module C behave strangely.

> Documentation helps a little bit but there is a gulf between "describing what it is and how to use it" and "knowing enough to find where the problem is. That is one of my pet peeves with modern development. A lot of thin

Our Google Chromecast tend to become very hot and then restart when the kids watch Disney+.

Oh no! You just got a present to give. Don’t throw it away, give it to someone who actually likes chocolate, which fortunately is most people.

Yes, I wish people understood this better. As someone with quite a few hobbies, the thing you buy me is usually either redundant or not particularly useful. I really wish the tradition of grown people giving each other gifts would disappea

On the other hand, it’s hard to make great innovative leaps with a mature product. The iPhone is something like 15 years. And I’m happy that they don’t change things just because they think they should. And it looks like their laptops actua

Until something is broken, and you need to step through 40 levels of stack (certainly no exaggeration) to try to figure out where something is happening, and where that exception is swallowed. Most often it's not the framework that is

Libraries.

The question is if there is anything meaningful left after you stoped using the slow bits.

I actually got to a point where I don't mind my own code. Even code I wrote years ago feels natural to me when I revisit it. And about the switching teams part. I much rather take over code that is written for our specific use cases th

I would love to see some demonstration of how wrong this is.

The difference between a framework and a library is that you call the library, while the framework calls your code.
405.
by Ma8ee 4y ago
An important part of being a framework is that it is made for reusability, similar to a library. Just because your code has some thought out structure/architecture doesn't mean that it has an inherent framework.

I’m confused about your second point: isn’t the reader the one who gains the most from reading the best papers, independently of who’s the author?

Which political branches are bailed out by the central banks, and how?

Could you explain? I’ve got a hard time imagining a user interested in the rest calls themselves.

But the inefficiencies you sometimes see today can’t even be explained with any bad choice of language. You can create more than fast enough programs with interpreted languages with garbage collection. But then of course you need to know at

And an addition note: That we happened to survive playing Russian roulette before is not a strong argument that we will survive future rounds.

I don’t think anyone in the USSR after Stalin had the same unchecked power as Putin has today, and I do think that the people in power actually cared somewhat about the Soviet Union (not necessarily about its people). There’s hard to tell

We haven't had a situation where the leader of a nuclear power is cornered like this before. And so far, he seems to double down rather than trying to deescalate the situation. I'm certainly not sleeping well at night.

No, the order of the cards is preserved. The "cutting" of the deck is just a rotation.

But then it wouldn't be soccer any more. Of course you could just build a high wall over the field so the opponents are physically prohibited to score. I'm quite sure that still is prohibited, even if you call the wall a player. I

How would that soccer player look? I don’t think we can build a machine that is good at soccer.

I don’t know the rules of tennis well enough, but would it be enough to just have an unreturnable serve to win, even if you can’t return anything yourself?

There are still quite a bit of sports where machines can’t compete, like tennis or soccer.

You get quite far with the "final" keyword.

Because as long as you don't burn them, they don't release any gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect. Could you explain any mechanism that make plastics in nature contribute to the climate catastrophe?

Not in all regards. The owners don't get any cash without selling stock.
