I have some of those friends too. They can drink coffee at 11pm and sleep at 11.30. Meanwhile I can't sleep until 8 hours after drinking coffee. I don't know whether this is differing sensitivity to coffee or something else (bette

Make files: it’s a good build system in the same sense C is a good programming language. It’s also a terrible build system for the same reasons C is a terrible programming language.

Was the limitation of superchargers to specific brands a US thing? In Europe there is always cars of all makes and models charging at the Tesla chargers?

I’m pretty sure that it’s shell specific whether it works precisely because it defers it to the shell. For windows cmd in particular it’s… not great. What I mean is I’d like git to do it natively. But git was written assuming a posix shel

I make one elaborate commit where I carefully stage things etc. But invariably I miss something, find 3 typos and so on. that’s when the aliases are handy. The alias for fixing a typo is using all, amend and no-edit. Super useful. But obv

It’s strange that git aliases can’t accept multiple git commands. It gives a strange divide between single command aliases which go in your git config and multi command aliases which go in a shell config. Shells vary and some don’t even hav

This comes up every time gdpr or ads are discussed. But it’s pretty simple I think: not enforcing privacy regulations forces site owners to break them. The reason is that so long as some sites show tracking ads, the monetization possible

I'd hope it's just a "set of primes" with interpolation/digital zoom between them. At least I wouldn't want to have something that I drop on the floor on regular intervals to have a movable lens assembly that n

The 5x (vs 2x) optical zoom will also convince a few to go for the Pro. Isn’t the price difference smaller than previous models too?

Yeah The Reference Source License is a "source available" license. It's not "open source" in the OSI sense that it can be contributed to or used for any other purpose. For a security product, "source available&

But in what cases would your root/source directory be part of what you want to shove into a dockerimage? Is it like if you have a static website or php site with its root at the root of your source repo?

It does solve a lot of this. Some have gov’t issued IDs, others have a hybrid public/private system where banks issue the ids. But yes, a de facto standard electronic ID is almost unthinkable to not have. How else do you interact with

Yes and people quickly realized that there is an amount they don’t want to carry around. No one carries their life savings and few would even keep it in a safe in their house.

Was there any sanction? Or is it just an EU level ruling guiding national bodies going forward? Because the problem isn’t that the regulation is vague or that EU level bodies don’t interpret them, it’s that there aren’t any big fines handed

I don’t understand why legislation is passed that is this clear on something but then it’s not enforced? Unenforced regulation is even worse than no regulation because it makes it very unclear what the regulation actually is. Worst case i

Yeah no. I can pay for news and you can even put friendly ads in the news if it makes it cheaper. I’ll do no business with anyone who does the “pay with money or with your info” business model. And I’ll keep reading their news for free whil

Really the weirdness isn't that main is invoked with the program name as argv[0]. The weirdness comes not in main() but in execv. Shouldn't execv have just taken the user provided arguments, prepended the program name (as provided

Switching now would be out of the question even for Sweden who isn't perpetually doing the opposite of everyone else. With modern infrastructure it's simply too expensive. In the 50s and 60s it was doable. My question wasn't

I'm happy to use dynamic languages occasionally too (Bash, Javascript, Python, ..) but I have a rule of thumb that says if I can't see the entire codebase on one screen, then it's too large for dynamic.

by alkonaut 2y ago
The interesting question is perhaps did the UK ever consider switching like e.g. Sweden did when they realized driving on the right was becoming the norm in the region? Being an island, the biggest reason would perhaps be that it was always

There are of course cases of dynamic data in every language (The table name is an apt example) but usually when I look in code I just expect to be able to follow definitions. If the language doesn't reliably allow me to find "usag

It is in Sweden too. And everywhere I know of in democratic countries. But here it applies so long as I’m there doing the filming myself. The law here isn’t about filming but regulation of surveillance, and is only about installing equipmen

Is it legal to film anywhere? In Sweden filming in public places with fixed equipment (a car counts apparently) is illegal. But on the other hand any evidence is admitted in court, even material obtained while breaking a law. So there has b

We were discussing whether the term “adhere” implied blame. What are you talking about?

Yes. And the wife (presumably) ruined that. The journal note isn’t about whether the patient did their best to follow the schedule but whether they ingested the medicine in the schedule and nothing else. In this case the doctor concluded th

by alkonaut 2y ago
Thats’s what I’m saying: “adhere to” in this context doesn’t mean “do your best”. It just means the medicine taken was incorrect, regardless of how that happened. If you accidentally get the wrong medication at the pharmacy or is poisoned t

Indeed it does seem strange that it was dropped (missed that in the wall of text). It doesn't mean it's concluded completely. It does also suggest even more that perhaps there is more to the story than we can see here.
