Can confirm, I ran an edit-delete purge a couple of years ago and now have comments from ~10 years ago visible again, with the original content.

127 HTTPS requests, each building a new TLS encrypted TCP connection, makes for quite a latency for anyone not living in Japan (aside from the fact that doing 127 independent requests sequentially just asks for trouble)

Getting stuff to mercury is hard though. IIRC it takes around 16,000 m/s of dV to get from LEO to the surface of mercury. Titan would take even more (19,000) but a huge chunk of it can be reduced by making use of aerobraking.

I'm living outside of the US and this is the first time I heard of this. I did not have any intentions to link my release to a recent shooting.

I didn't create the post here, only the original one on Medium. I can't correct the title over here.

That would definitely fix the "my small React CRUD SPA relies on 10k package maintainers" issue, but would still leave other issues open. There's actually an active proposal for a standard library, but it is met with a lot of

You are indeed correct in that assessment. I actually put it into a small footnote in case people reading the post miss the "joke".

Author here! Yeah, it was just a parody of the articles The Onion regularly releases regarding another topic and to be honest I didn't quite expect my post to take off the way it did. I'm also sorry I posted it on Medium, which I

The jobs at risk are not only those in the coal industry but also the jobs powered by the coal. You can't run a business without electricity. So if coal makes up about a third of the power then about a third of the jobs in Germany cou

Not the person you're responding to, but I was on a team which probably did the same thing. Instead of listening directly to the event store for events you have another non-abstracting layer on top and listen to that. A sensible archit

And today I learned something new. Been a long time since I wrote my last lines of C++ anyway.

It's much easier to implement in Javascript, too, even though JS has a much smaller standard library. The main problem is Go's lack of generics.

by Nimelrian 7y ago
Yup, you can implement the whole ordeal in C++ like this: int main(int argc, char** argv) { std::vector<std::string> strings{ "apple", "cAt", "cat", "Dog", "apple", &quot

I recommend reading through this issue [1]. It's amazing how much the JS community is firing against a bigger standard library, just because stuff like lodash exists and everyone can make their own packages anyways. [1] https:/&#

The npm docs also state that the "files" property of the package.json limits what gets installed if you install that package in another project. Ever tried installing a local package via a file path? NPM just symlinks it into node

Nowadays you'd use fetch anyway which would reduce that code to not much more than the jQuery samples. That is, if you don't need to support IE (And I feel like we're finally in the phase where it slowly, but steadily dies of

Good rust code doesn't have to be free of unsafe blocks. In some cases you can't avoid them, e.g. when doing memory mapping. Instead, the unsafe blocks semantically designate areas you should keep an eye on. I rather have 20 unsaf

Higher kinded types are currently not supported by the TS compiler and would be a highly appreciated feature.

The proposal explicitly states that everything in the standard library would not be tied to specific target environments: Such a library would only cover features which would be useful in JavaScript in general, not things which are tied to

Not entirely. For example, a function which takes a property path (in the form of an array of strings) and an object as parameters and returns the value at that path inside the object still needs overloads for every single tuple length.

Last time I checked, the extraction process for lithium, which is needed for the batteries, still has a heavy impact on the environment. This article mentions a cost of 500,000 gallons (almost 2 million litres) of water for a tonne of lithi

Especially since the GoF Design Patterns, which are often cited as the main reason for Java being verbose, were described in the original book using C++ (and smalltalk) examples. Just because they may be overused in Java doesn't mean p

Even a single hydrogen atom is bigger than a single Helium atom. The charge of the helium nucleus is higher and thus "pulls" the two electrons further inward than Hydrogen's single proton pulls its single electron.
