Indeed, there's also a whole world of B2B software which you may be almost entirely unaware of if you've spent your whole career in consumer-facing web/app development.

Judicial review has been the accepted norm since Marbury v Madison.

"Sherlocking" can be unfortunate for a developer, but it's odd to view it as an inherently bad thing. A package manager is a core OS feature, even Microsoft has WinGet now.

I totally sympathize with not wanting to work on something that has become neither financially nor personally rewarding. I think the "early access" subscription model is a good, fair one, and I hope it succeeds. > I also always

I think the most post-launch coverage they got was when Apple released that universally scorned immersive video of MLS highlights, months late and edited like a traditional TV highlight reel. If they were just releasing more good video (p

Limonene is already pretty commonly measured. It's exciting to finally have real studies like this which can guide breeding choices.

Every language is built on a mountain of cultural context and assumptions. That's the part which is impossible to translate. You can translate the words but you're missing layers upon layers of subtle meaning.

I have absolutely seen Copilot generate valid C# code with a nasty logic bug. You really need to carefully review every line, and at that point I would usually rather just write it myself. I'm sure there are good use cases, but I just

This is broadly consistent with the prevailing theory that the Voynich Manuscript was made as a pseudo-occult/alchemical book. I don't think there are any real secrets to be uncovered, but this is interesting research about what s

It's really crazy that ATC isn't 99% computerized. It's exactly the kind of problem which is trivial for a computer program with all the necessary information, but incredibly stressful for a human.

I like Rust and Go, but I haven't seen any data which suggests widespread adoption in the "software industry" at large. Python is bigger than ever, C# is huge, C and C++ have many many years ahead even as newer languages slow

I don't think I can manage much more than 4 hours of actual productive code writing. Not counting time spent testing or stepping away and thinking.

I'm sure you can come up with a scenario where input does slow down (eg, in huge complex files), but speaking as someone with experience speedrunning action games which require frame-perfect (60Hz) tricks, I can't detect any notic

This is a lot messier than it needed to be. The Classic controller port uses a well-documented I2C protocol, so you just need to sacrifice a cheap extension cable or whatever and wire that in. http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wi

I don't know if there have been any real studies about this, but I certainly hear about a ton of people with a million open tabs and very few who productively use bookmarks in any significant way. My theory is that bookmarks are a fail

There's absolutely nothing you can do about tinnitus except adjust to it. You really do just have to relax and accept it, and it essentially fades into the background. That's literally the best treatment available.

Windows 10 and 11 are trivially pirate-able by entering a few commands, pointing to a phony KMS server. This is actually a huge change from the Vista/7 era where you had to download and install sketchy activation cracks. I'm sure

Yeah it's very similar to C#, and in both languages you can pass structs by reference using the appropriate keyword.

Storing a pointer to memory that you did not explicitly allocate is always a red flag, I think. You really need to understand how everything works, and be very careful. I would default to just using std::unique_ptr<Node> in a situatio

Writing an entire complex game in GDScript sounds like an absolute nightmare. It's a fine scripting language for hobby games or glue code. I would never do serious software development with it.

I'm a little puzzled by this because if you understand the language well enough to comprehend the meaning of sentences, I don't think having the text in front of you is adding much. Unless you just really struggle with listening c

I agree, but I enjoyed doing Google's semi-secret random-invite-only "Foobar" challenge, which gives you a series of coding problems with a silly story attached. I think even that very minimal structure helps mentally elevate
