Sure but that forces you to group options in ways that don't always make sense discursively and push some alternatives down the tree, and we all know that arguments that are near the root get the most attention.

Looks good, finally a language-supported way to remove thousands of unnecessary Exceptions and null-checks. But the nullness-narrowing automatic conversions feel wrong. From the proposal : String? id(String! arg) { return arg; } St

When I try to explain the issue, it boils down to this : the results look like they have been cooked. And the probability of that hapening by chance is 1 in 100 million. Mathematically, if votes are random, with 10,058,774 voters you have 1

I read that commment as well but if you need to use the Zig build system it means you won't be able to integrate Zig into an existing project as easily, you'll have to integrate the Zig build system or even to integrate your proje

> remove libclang So `zig cc` will have to go as well ? I was under the impression Zig as a drop-in C (cross-)compiler was one of its main selling points.

Not involved with Zig at all, but this comment is a bit concerning : > This is not the first controversial change I have made to the Zig project, and it won't be the last. I have a vision, and I know how to execute it. People are of

It's the same only if the income tax is linear, which is almost never the case ? Most places have progressive income tax rates.

It requires mlx but it is an Apple silicon-only library as far as I can tell. How is it supposed to be (I quote) "iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Linux, pretty much any device" ? Has it been tested on anything else than the author&#x2

I don't like radial charts because the outer rings have a larger area, which makes it look like files deep in the hierarchy take more space than in reality. And also it leaves the majority of screen space unused. I prefer the more clas

While we're talking about keyboards, why won't they put dedicated page up/down keys ? There are 2 empty spots right above the left/right keys that would be ideal for this and are basically just wasted, being left empty,

OT but this website completely breaks arrow and page up/down scrolling, as well as alt=arrow navigation. Only mouse scrolling works for me (I'm using Firefox). Can't websites stop messing with basic browser functionality for

The article also mentions that they have relatively little muscle mass, so maybe it is more rewarding to catch say a regular monkey rather than a sloth. Evolutionary traits usually come with a tradeoff, and if a predator evolved to be able

That begs the question ... How did you come up with that plant database ?

I don't see why you're opposing HTTPS everywhere and SNI, HTTP already had the Host header so it is not a new information leak. It's pretty much mandatory if you intend to serve multiple domains with different certificates fr

This graph is about "extreme poverty", that is people living with less than $2.15 a day, per UN definition. It's possible to have less "extremely poor" and more "poor" people at the same time.

This is to handle the case where transactions keep getting written to the wal file while it is being "checkpointed", preventing it from ever being deleted. You only need to alternate between two files, one checkpointed, one writte

A big issue with the $1 recognizer is that it requires strokes to be drawn in a specific way, for example to draw a circle you need to go counterclockwise, if you go clockwise (as seems more natural to me) it gets recognized as a caret. Thi

The model is trained to behave as a human would in a conversation, so I conclude that using words like "please" and "thank you" is more likely to lead to helpful answers.

Very rough calculation: assuming the RV is 5x2 meters that would be 10m^2 of solar panels. Solar energy that reaches the ground is about 1kW/m^2 at the peak, let's say that in a whole day we get the equivalent of 6h of peak energy

This is a big deal because since 1976, only China has (edit: had!) managed to land something successfully on the Moon. And also space exploration is cool in general.

You can't completely eliminate contact resistance, and all instruments have a noise floor, so electrical measurements don't constitute "true proof", they are an element of proof among others. The Meissner effect is perfe

Out of admittedly slightly perverse curiosity I opened the site without adblock : at some point when scrolling the whole page is covered with ads. An eyesore indeed.
