It can, after a warm-up period and by using 10x the memory and likely non-idiomatic code. Sometimes one can live with that, sometimes not.

Why is the size a concern, start-up or limited disk space? If the latter, this seems quite resource constrained and Go might not be a good fit. If you know C, you could try a minimal C++: C + vector,string,unique_ptr. And depending on your

I can say from experience that skilled migrants are wanted only in very specific domains like IT, engineering and some areas of medicine, etc. If you’re not active in those domains, you will not get a job according to your qualifications

AFAIK some filters are mechanical and others require the electrosatic charge to reach their stated performance. Half-masks or full face masks are typically of the former kind, while smaller masks of the latter kind.

And they attract programmers which love complicated code. Of course they don’t actually call it complicated and in fact they see it as elegant and state of the art. People have figured this out about C++, but they’re still in denial about R

Although this comment is a cliche and it's been already shown to be incorrect in another reply, I'd like to also point out that any such new data that surfaces will likely change the risk/reward ratio for subsets of the popul

I basically do not use apps any more except the few that I either personally vet or must otherwise use. GDPR helps, but is by far not a panacea, since there are so many offenders. One case that stuck into my mind was that of a friend whic

Maybe you're right in some fundamental way, but as an example iOS, macOS, Android or Windows are all considered stable and efficient, secure and highly performant by most end-users. As a specialist one can quibble and point to counter-

Let's not pretend that such business decisions are following rules written down on stone tablets passed from above. They're nothing more than going with the flow and following the path of least resistance in a market that painted

Such web solutions are cheaper because the software market is really sick. There is almost no point in competing on quality and performance for consumer software, because some start-up with hundreds of millions of VC funding or some SW mega

I've been critical of so-called web apps for quite a bit more than a decade now. It's not the hate that was pathological, it was the obsession of taking a platform designed for displaying documents and transforming it into an appl

This only makes sense if one is junior or is learning a new programming language. If one can’t write good code after several years of experience, then they’re in the wrong profession.

Your feelings are really not relevant here, because any country will do whatever they can get away with. See China, the US, Russia, Saudi Arabia for examples. So if the Dutch want to "go isolationist" and their laws and European l

That was the point of the meeting, to find out more. Since nobody volunteered any additional information contradicting their view, the lead manager had to go with what it looked like: a project was late for no good reason.

Nobody’s making OP question their reality according to OP’s story. It just seems that OP was completely unaware of the manager’s opinion and now he became aware of it. There’s nothing nefarious in that, happens all the time.

This is self-defeating. It is very legitimate to ask for what data a company has on you, especially for something that can affect ones livelihood. The current lack of transparency is not fair to the candidates and is an artifact of people t

The vaccination rate isn’t “low”. Portugal is an exception in this regard and can’t be used as an example since most countries in Europe are similar, give or take 10%. When one looks at the rate by age, we see that 60+ is at almost 87% and

While you're technically correct, gravity vs. side-effects from vaccines are in wholly different categories. I don't know enough to judge by myself and agree that it's highly unlikely, but I've noticed that we've be

At least for Qt, the answer's quite simple: you'd have KDE and the associated apps. As for the stability of the front-end ecosystem, it doesn't exist. The many articles that were posted on HN over the years complaining about

Facts on the ground are continuously changing and have been for the duration of the pandemic: e.g. risk of myocarditis for young males. Medical bodies are reacting to these changes, in that case by recommending against Moderna for people yo

While it's very unlikely, we simply don't know if some unknown side-effect will pop up in 10 years and the only way to find out is to wait 10 years and verify empirically.

Your comment made sense with the original strains, but already with Delta there were many breakthrough infections and with Omicron two shots don't offer any significant protection against infection and transmission. So that leaves the

That's very heavy framing in order to make something quite banal - rejecting a medical treatment as is their right - into an evil action. Like it or not, this is what it means to be a liberal democracy. "These people" haven&#

Blaming the people that don't take the vaccine is the last refuge of the incompetent politician. What's even more ridiculous is that there's no way they'll be able to put three vaccines into whoever's left before Om

Many European countries are segmenting the population by age and making different recommendations for different segments. Creating policies "for the entire population" is irresponsible given that we know that these vaccines have s

It’s may not be justified, because the subjects are already vaccinated and protected, but there is an increase in myocarditis risk for them.

We’re talking about already vaccinated individuals which are protected against harm and now should get a booster that’s associated in a study with increased risk of myocarditis. This connection must be studied more before anybody thinks abo
