I could say the same about not making the move back to the office. Some of their best employees will prefer the office and will look for places where the culture is for everyone to be in the office. I think I'm not alone in dreading

I think quitting is likely the most reasonable thing to do if you don't want to move back to the office, but the company does. I prefer to work in the office in close proximity to my colleagues. So, personally, I gravitate towards comp

QA costs could ultimately be paid off by people who actually use the engine, no? If they contribute back or, at least, create an issue things could work out.

I think it works best when the consumer gets to decide. If a car recall comes along because the seat belts in your car have been shown to actually kill people in accidents, would you blow off your weekend plans to get your car fixed as soon

You have nothing to hide, but everything you say may be used against you.

That wouldn't make a difference in this case, would it? I suppose it would mean that the code would be UB, but in practice it'd just work the same.

Getting those messages is very different (and a lot more reasonable) from forceful restarting them, which was the initial suggestion. The restarting risk is normally so small, that there are several other things that are more important than

When you create a new process you can't share things like network connections. Also, IPC tends to be very slow. It is abstracted away nicely in python, but it's still very slow, making some parallelism opportunities impossible to

I doubt Google restarts all their machines once a day. Obviously not all at once, otherwise they'd have massive downtime. But anyway, Google's needs are very different than just about any other company on earth (except for a handf

For production it's highly dependent on the business needs. But restarting the entire estate every day seems a big enough hit to capacity at the very least that may already be prohibitive without any further consideration. Not to count

You have to close all windows (and possibly tabs in your editor), restart long running jobs you have in the background, restart your SSH sessions, lose your undo tree, lose all the variables you have loaded in your interpreter or bash, amon

That sounds needlessly disruptive. It is a workstation after all. I restart mine as little as I'm allowed to and once a month sounds way too much already.

That comparison is absurd. We need to eat. The only reason to eat tasteless protein is because you have to. No one needs to play video games. Unless they have some addiction problem, people play video games for fun. And people have a lot of

What if you have purchased movies on YouTube? Would Google still delete your account for inactivity?

Maybe I just don't see the point. They are different in the sense that the actions are different. But they are the same in the sense that they are both useless activities you do for fun. Some people can have more fun playing diablo tha

Rolling dice is doing something too.

That’s what superficially different about them. But in both cases you’re just killing time playing something fun. The difference is only whether you prefer rolling dice or learning some useless skill.

Not sure it does. The NFT itself is scarce, but not the art. That's different from the real world where the art itself is scarce.

Does it make you and all your peers $100 more productive each? Sounds a bit of stretch to me for code search. I don't even think I need to do a code search that bitbucket/GitHub/gitlab search aren't able to provide me ev

I don't truly get it. If I really want to get to my destination, I'd rather be as close to it as possible when things go wrong, rather than being farther away. If I'm nearly there it feels there would be more resources availa

What were the challenges for the migration? Do the Wikipedia editors and authors transfer their works to Wikimedia when they publish it and so wikimedia can change the license as it pleases? If so, was the main difficulty just convincing th

I don't really think good practices changed that significantly in the last 20 years. Good practices must be seen like guidelines, not a strict dogma. They are mostly for the benefit or other humans to read and modify it without introdu

Woke used to be an endearing term at some point. You're assuming that the quotes are there to poke fun of it, they could be there because it's a foreign or coloquial term that the author is a bit unsure about too. You have not to

Maybe he didn't mean that much by it. Different people, different countries, different contexts. Specially online, we definitely need to give the benefit of the doubt. A friend of mine, who doesn't speak English very well, thought
