Kind of a short sighted take. Sticking special characters that (in many early editors) would be invisible complicates development and maintenance. Even tabs have a visual, albeit inconsistent (if your editor wants to align columns for you)

I asser that is still not convenient or scalable. You will need to mentally parse each number (two characters) to ensure it is correct. Compare this with a simple glyph (i.e. a single comma) which is easy to eyeball.

I think the parent post is more likely alluding to the abuse of the medication, particularly in higher learning institutions. https://psych.wisc.edu/news/easy-access-pressure-on-students... . Aderrall is a Schedule II

Databases in practice are surprisingly dangerous with multiple direct services, even with just readers. Your schema effectively becomes your protocol. Need to add a column or perform delicate schema alterations? You run the risk of breaking

This feels a bit naive. I won't advocate for microservices at all times, but there are additional considerations and caveats Sending multiple requests at once is possible through batching if you want to avoid HTTP overhead. This depend

What you see is what you get. Build a house, but turn away from it, and it may disappear. Everything seems to be tracked from a few previous frames.

This is assuming said trees could even grow in such a different environment. I'd be surprised of they get far, given that even with the right nutrients and sunlight, there's still the matter of gravitropism for the plant to '

Not by comparison to Uber at least. 'Historical' documentaries about it are going to be wild. And probably on Netflix.

I can't blame them. They have become a superpower on the world stage, and they have made some super interesting moves to further that along. One very notable take is that some assert China is "exporting" parts of their popula

I really want to dig into this further. Can you share any good resources (pod casts or equivalent I can listen to) that cover the history here?

No joke, I built a Excel compiler once. All functions written became legit code you could compile down to a binary. But wow, I learned a lot about how complex that could get... my intermediate language was technically readable, but when eve

I doubt that. Pandas is stupidly powerful... for raw data, experiments, and ML model training/inference. But in my experience it rapidly becomes an esoteric box at times when you need to get data back out of it.

Good old LibreOffice. I too fall back on that when Sheets fails me. It takes effort to justify Excel (or even Office) licenses in my workplace, but LibreOffice is available and approved for use. I won't say the 90s era interface impres

I've used both for a long time (relatively so for Sheets given its age). The online aspect aside, Sheets does tend to work for 90% of my use cases. But that last 10%? It doesn't come close to what I can accomplish with Excel. Exot

That population is the most vulnerable, and indicative of the issue. The heat indeed killed them, but the availability/affordability of AC could have saved lives.

Aspirational at best I'm afraid. What happens when the other partner/parent/family member isn't responsible, smashing your plans? Or if the event has a variable end time with no safe care or phone in between? How do you

I agree with you; it is hand-wavey and strays into "spherical cows in a vacuum" territory. Practical for discussions, not so great for implementations, where details matter greatly. I would presume the original diagram was meant t

Author may want to borrow my cloud. It's easy to yell at, and it's fairly cheap to rent by the hour.

Says who? Install your favorite flavor of Linux then. Beelink devices have a good reputation for being quite happy with a new OS. It's more compatible that the latest Apple devices, that's for certain.

Often, it's the act of preparing the meal by hand rather than pressing a button on their hypothetical Food-o-matic that makes the biggest impact. We can certainly scale the provision of needs otherwise. I agree with the author on their

FWIW, one of the cool parts about the JetBrains ecosystem is that, almost regardless of the language/IDE you're in, the keybondings are highly similar. When I have to work in VSCode, I happily use the JetBrains bindings.

Not enough weapons, and some of them should be pointed at the user for the most accurate portrayal. Particularly around any team working on Copilot.

I loved doing some particle simulations in C++, good old mode 0x13 style. Create a gradient palette, apply simple averaging of pixels values on each frame, draw each particle with additive translucency, and you ended up with a pretty cool w
