I have a PHP script that does idempotentcy. It was strictly easier to write than a similar code in bash the moment one needs non-trivial and robust patching of config files. And passing force flags can lead to subtle issues as -f and frie

Bash on Mac is deprecated and zsh is sufficiently different. Plus on minimal installs of containers or in VM one may not even have it with /bin/sh provided by dash or similar minimal shell. So my rule of thumb if one cannot use p

Given that one can compile C to Wasm it is simply not true that it would break C code. Wasm implements pointers as offset into an array and then checks for out-of-bounds access. LLVM should be able to do that directly.

The science is about making inferences and checking how good such predictions match reality. Religion, on the other hand, can at best explain, not predict in any verifiable way. That is, it is about deducting consequences from one’s beliefs

The proper fallback is costly both hardware-wise and in development efforts. It can be cheaper just skip it and tolerate occasional service unavailability.

Science by definition cannot discover the truth. The essential property of a scientific theory is falsifiability. I.e. it should be possible to carry out experiment that can disprove the theory or it is not a scientific theory. Religion on

At least in the capital it is unproblematic. The charging places on the streets that supplies at least 3KW are common, parking garages advertise that they have many charging places (one near me states over 100 spots for about 300 parking pl

The first paragraph describes the situation in Norway that was like 5-6 years ago. The second is less applicable in Norway due to zero tax policy on electric cars and like 100% in total taxes on ICE. So even 5 years ago it could be sensible

I visited at the end of eighties a research institute in a former USSR. They had a whole room with computers put in a Faraday cage to prevent any data leaks with supposedly secret information. The cage was a mesh made of thin metal sheets w

Norway has similar 14 day return right for things ordered online. It is originated in eighties when the phone or postal orders became popular. Basically if you do not have a chance to examine the thing one is getting like in a physical shop

That theory has a predictive power of saying which gender will dominate in a highly pay profession in a country where the gender discrimination is fought for real. My own anecdotal observation for Norway matches this. Norway is the top of c

This is simply not true. There are a highly paid professions in US that are dominated by women, like that of veterinarians (as I wrote on another comment it pays better in US than programming) or some fields in medicine or law.

There is an observation that men typically like to work with things while women with people all other things being equal. There are speculations that it depends on hormonal balance during pregnancy, but what ever the reason it exists. So b

The point is not to spend time writing init.el in the first place. I only need to setup few times per year and the time I spent writing my init file for Emacs is way bigger than I can save even in 100 years of using VS code. Some people enj

I have not bothered to use sync as I can setup VS code fast enough without it. Plus there are settings that require platform-specific adjustments. Maybe there are some ifs in the config that covers it, but I just see no point to spend time

The question is can unused potion of the stack be used for anything else? With native threads the answer is no and so is with Go green threads. Time will tell if Java can pull off the trick of sharing unused space place, but I am sceptical.

I like CSP precisely because it requires to color-annotate the code so it is knows what can and what cannot do IO! Surely it decreases flexibility, but makes reasoning about and maintaining the code easier.

I presently use VS code at work as well, but not because it so nice, but rather that I can setup it from scratch to the tolerable state within 20 minutes including extension installation time and it works very similar on Linux/Mac&#x2F

In theory 8 bits on 128 is way better than 2 per 16 a it allows to use a better error correction code. This all due to Shannon theorem on noisy channels. The problem is that this assumes that a probability of flipping individual bit is inde

In Go one can block the native thread via using API that use blocking OS calls, like Linux file IO. In this case Go runtime allocates more native threads to run other language threads.

Green threads by definition cannot use OS stack and must allocate their stack memory on heap. Although this memory can be reused, as it is known from Go to avoid performance bottlenecks at least for Go code is better to allocate the stack a

The main problem with prefab is transportation costs. It is not surprising that the homes were setup in Berkeley, which is near a port, since sending goods by sea is like 50-100 times cheaper per distance traveled than by roads. Plus sea tr

Yes, this is in reference to absolute time as measured by highest point of Sun. The effect is so puzzling that there were plans to see if it exists in polar regions during winter time the last time I read about it.

There is unexplained difference regarding body energy usage if one eats most calories before noon or in the evening. With the former body spends like 100-200 more calories than with the latter. This is independent of sleeping patterns, wha

There are different ways to do that. Apple put efforts into decoders allowing to increase single-threaded performance. Intel realistically cannot do that due to limitations of x86 instruction format. So they worked-around that via hyper thr

The formater in many cases essentially doubles the number of lines. That requires to scroll much more frequently than with more compact formatting.
