BTW, MacOS has this feature for menus in all apps: at the top of the ‘Help’ menu is a search field. Also invoked with cmd-? (i.e. cmd-shift-/ on my keyboard). The highlighted menu item is then triggered with ‘enter’—so for touch-typis

That would be equivalent to always putting your data in b-trees or other structures, according to the request patterns, without keeping the tables themselves. Sort of how you need to do that in Redis for any kind of sane request strategy ot

Articles on product internationalization sometimes mention that sloppily translated Western ads tend to do poorly in the Far East—when on the ad pictures a man first grimaces with pain, then takes a pill, then smiles with a contented expres

‘Techno Live Sets’ are good at long mixes in the genre, though they do delve into house regularly: https://www.techno-livesets.com (IIRC they were on Mixcloud previously, but parted ways for some reason.)

Well, the convention in theory is usually that `object->method(param)` is equivalent to `method_function(object, param)`, and likewise you have the signature of `method(self, param)` in languages where `self` is an explicit argument—if o

Thanks, this actually answers my original question in regard to the kernel's part of it. I'll take a look at what names and signatures libc has, and if they're still like that then the question is readdressed to libc—though I

I think OOP builders can work without extra state if they implement `->addThis()->addThat()` by actually doing functional `addThat(addThis(defaultObj))` and creating immutable values inside. But ultimately there's no good answer

I had this exact comparison pop up into my mind yesterday when I read this, yet another, news of Google flexing on someone. Actions of both tech companies and content publishers make it clear as day that they have zero respect for people.

Funny thing, that sounds precisely like what you'd do with shell companies and any other kind of alter-egos making you hard to find. Bonus points if the companies have different owners and formal directors. Nice of Google to educat

Ah, no, that's also contrary to my taste. I love clear function names and I hate state. Immutable return values are way better than builders, in my experience, even if that means many arguments. And static globals are a whole other le

You're talking here about the second half of your previous comment. This reasoning is ok by me, though I have to wonder how often, and why, do programmers need to decide dynamically in mid-flight whether they want to wait instead of

So the entire use of BMI starts with the assumption that its increase can only mean more fat. I practically can see the headlines: ‘BMI on the rise for the past decade, obesity epidemic in Jocktown! We need even more gyms!’

I don't see how `an_op_syscall(param)` is ‘more complicated’ or requires more calls or state than `a_syscall(OP_NAME, param)`.

I lowkey have to wonder why Linux seemingly goes all-in on monster functions that implement a variety of operations depending on the arguments (as far as I can see from casual encounters). In my experience, such code often both reads poorl

Just from reading through various health topics on Wikipedia, I'm now pretty sure that exercise influences much more than just fat and muscle mass. All the way to having anti-inflammatory effect because muscle secretes some stuff,

Note that apparently there's a late-ish ‘restoration’ that seems to correct some of Max Brod's editing decisions so that the plot is more straightforward, if that can be said of the novel. Literally the chapters' proper order

Well people on HN worship PDF, thinking it's necessary for printing and you can't print HTML—so it seems not only the author forgot about CSS for printing. Anything with a pretense of research gets published in PDF even on sites h

For some context, the ‘Anti-Corruption Foundation’ of Navalny and Volkov was giving talks for European and US state/human-rights organizations for years. It's actually a bit weird if MPs didn't get Volkov's phone number

So when different clothes prescribe washing at different temperatures, it's because the ‘activation’ temperature of detergent changes depending on whether you use it with jeans or underwear?
