These extensions are Ada features. Ada has: - Labels in the form of: Call (Param_A => 1, Param_B => "Foo"); - Underscores can be used in numbers of any base: X : Integer := 1_000; - Nested subprograms - Range based tests

Bin Laden - what a non-sense. We buried him at sea for religious reasons even though that goes against Muslim beliefs. If you still believe that Sadam Hussan had weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Queda then I have a domino theory U

Even the center for computing history can't spell "Ada" right... :(

Waymo is a money hole it has never got close to making a profit. Think of all that equipment attached to a luxury SUV and the upkeep. The purpose of Waymo is research - you just get the privilege of paying to be a guinea pig. There is no ma

This is great news for people who want to buckle themselves into an uncontrollable 70 mph thin-metaled panopticon : P I remember reading that these Waymo cars haven't been allowed onto highways until now. If thats true I wonder how tha

So muckbang videos are acceptable, but fitness videos aren't.. oh my I would say probably the best thing to come out of the social media tiktok and instagram obsession has been a renewed focus on health: workout, diet, food, lifestyle,

This is a good point. Life is full of risks and challenges, but I guess in my case I choose to trust in humanity in cases like these... god knows Ive seen enough production software in my life to be skeptical for two. > I won't be t

think of yourself! the point of the analogy is to replace yourself (which you might not regard if you are a risk taker) with someone you care about.

It does actually, my father was a pilot for Delta and he saw the automation come thru and there are horror stories there too. On top of this, the software quality is certified, built over decades, and continuously tested on each plane regul

I don't understand why people are so eager to give up autonomy. I doubt the software is certified in any meaningful way (see DO-178B), the algorithms are unknown, and the NHTSA sits on its hands whenever these vehicles have accidents.

> The merit of OER is that is a measure of the cost of using owned housing as housing instead of renting it out. I don't follow - can you help me understand? To me there are two metrics that matter: the price of property, and the pr

Even if that is true (which I am doubtful of), what is the merit of OER at all? Why use it if its A) not really what people are paying B) relying on people not in the market to guess what the going rate is and C) consistently underestimates

They are making flat assumptions and trying to recreate the charts from the government CPI, its also a reddit post and not a serious bit of research which examined their actual methods. It could all just be correlation - who knows? All I kn

That's a pretty novel concept - you've inspired me : )

Ok, if you were the government and I asked you to measure rent increases - what would you do? Would you look at the cost of renting on average in a city and compare them to last years? Seems like the most obvious way... Well, that is not ho

There is no way that matches reality, where does the person publishing such a chart even live? Do they buy eggs or pay rent? Here is a real alternative - John William's shadow stats. He simply measures inflation as the government used

That's because it was (and is ) slow compared to true compiled applications. Just because VSCode has about 1000 tortured dev's making it usable doesn't mean its not fundamentally flawed on its face using a scripting language
