I have a 2017 for testing at work. It has never moved. I ssh into it for some macos specific testing. I have plugged and unplugged the charger maybe 5 times. Yesterday I moved it around. And noticed what you described. The plug will come ba

I have pushed people to learn Rust. And I noted that the more experience in software design a person has, the easier it is for them to truly internalize the borrow checker. I suspect this is because you naturally get to an instinctive form

Yes. Definitively not like my microwave. My microwave has not only the worst interface. But it also lags. The polling rate of the capacitive touche buttons is too low. And any action also takes a second to validate. It's horrendous. Gi

Same. `a and b or c` reads nicer than `a && b || c` to me. And I find its harder to typo and misread it: `a && b || c` vs `a & b | c` `a and b or c` vs `a & b | c`

In other words, it gives you a system wide way to override any APIs. As long as you are compatible with the ABI of course.

And what's the advantage vs an API via function calls? It's the same thing no? Calling 0x42 with a given ABI vs interpreting bytes as an ABI seems oddly similar.

Single point of failure comes to mind though.

I remember when I switched to Linux around 2004. Compared to Windows XP, setting up anything became minutes instead of days. Because everything was just so much simpler to automatr and so much faster in general.

The Rust compiler already enforces that you match all variants of an enum. And Rust Enum is basically a C union with an integer tag.

I use this all the time to improve the name I picked in the first place. But there is something I noticed: changing to a new name on the spot is more work. I have to find all the previous occurrences and rename them. I can use my editor to

wouldn't that be an implementation bug? Because waiting for a specific amount of time is not the same as waiting for a specific wall clock time to come.

I see so it seems that there is a curve of load handling behavior per language/lib/framework. As the load increase you enter the territory of queueing (add latenxy) up to a point. Then reject/drop requests. If the rejection i

At this point I barely play anymore. Because with all the intermediate updates and transient failures, it takes longer to start the game than the time you would spend casually playing during a week evening.

Many standalone downloads in fact come with the publisher app store. Thay must runs in order to start the game. The end result is the same. And the store will update the game anyways, often re-downloading the equivalent of half the game (we

How do you apply back pressure? As far as I can tell Go will spawn a goroutine per request (well that's how the standard http lib and grpc seems to do it). I would like to compute a load factor and refuse new requests. Or do some basic

A cute but still very real example of greed. Dell is paid to advertise a product. The product is on by default. Such that the clueless user can learn about how much it would improve their life.

I have trouble understanding how much cheaper it is to simply not sort objects into the right categories. I guess it must be significantly cheaper at scale. But it's such a waste of time for everybody it's infuriating.

This is so painfully true. Try sorting screws by size next...

Can anybody explain why the parent is being downvoted? We can argue on the percentage. But the point on the direct and indirect damages makes a lot of sense.

By default, Go dynamically link to libc on Linux if you use networking. I believe because of a dependency on nss. I recall it's truly static on MacOS though.

Squirrel do not remember much though. They fill the ground with nuts. Then they dig the ground seemingly at random. Most of theis caches are forgotten. Which often leads to nuts trees sprouting all over the place during spring.

Money laundering hides where the money comes from. Bias are subjective assumption you have of the world and people. So this quote is saying that machine learning hides the source of bias.

That's the part that is difficult: Efficient wake up on completion. Network I/O is usually monitored via a so called I/O loop. Local file I/O are often not exposed with asynchronous APIs (yes I know it's changing on

It felt like noclip=1 for a second. I genuinely liked it. You are within the action, but it reminds you that you are an omniscient and untouchable spectator.

But when you start this way, you quickly endup with the bloat that is modern software. Because each extra bit of waste seems justified at every steps along the way.
