In South America it is customary to save in USD as our local currencies are known to have explosive and sudden ends, some more than others. If you can, and can handle the comparative lack of liquidity, keep everything in USD. Even better if

In cycling there's a term called MAMIL, which means 'Middle Aged Man in Lycra'. It represents a grown man, clearly out of shape, with the latest and greatest equipment that probably cost him north of tens of thousands of doll

Arguably they didn't force anything on developers, I wrote scripts for work for a good while and could use PROGRA~1 or DOCUME~1 to access the files in personal folders since the spaces gave me a headache and I switched between my compu

There's an adage in psychology to see if a behavior or thought is a problem - "Things are a problem if they cause problems" I'd be wary of running thematic diets if they are doing damage to your well-being, as they'

I wonder who's decision was it to train the bots in 'code that is accessible to our scraper' and not in 'code we can sell derivatives products of'. I can tell the second group is quite small, so I understand the inc

If you are feeling that way, it might be worth it to investigate your caloric intake and macros, and adjust expectations once your diet is set to a healthy level. Can you share a bit of your diet plan, if it's not too personal? What I

Steve Ballmer once called Linux and the GPL License a cancer because to copy a portion of code from a copyleft project, minimal as it may be, would make the whole project require a copyleft license. If Github Co-Pilot includes GPL code then

Until his retirement I didn't know he had a wife and 3 kids, good for him - I'm kinda jealous, I won't lie. Life has a way of catching up, I guess, I'm not sad he's not casting GSL anymore, I'm happy that he ha

You and me both, fellow. Exploring a bit into how it might fail: AFAIK Japanese people shun tips because it is seen as an unwelcome incentive to do better, and they take pride in doing their best wherever. Tipping, thus, is akin to saying &

I like this approach to FOSS contributions, thanks for the answer, sfpotter.

by brezelgoring 4y ago
That sounds reasonable, and I do agree that inching forward seems like a more viable approach to contributing in FOSS. Thanks for the answer.

A buddhist monk recommends reading D-tier detective books to drill patience and contemplation for others. Quite the exercise it is.

I've got a single digit number of contributions to projects that I like, mostly because of how daunting it is to familiarize oneself with a codebase, and this 'git log -reverse' trick seems incredible as an entry point to a n

Anecdotal but having visited a few countries that have national IDs, they use them with just about anything worth having. Tickets, SIM cards, Service Agreements, you name it. I live in Uruguay and you need to use your ID very often when doi

I know it is nonsensical for real world applications but golfing isn't real world programming, so why not eliminate some variance ourselves and try measuring what's left? Don't just laugh, try and tell me why this is not poss

Is there a tool where you can check how many instructions your program, with a set input, required to execute the task? Imagine this, given an x86 C/C++/Rust compiler we all agree upon, and a set of inputs we also share, produce a

I interpreted it too literally, you're probably right. Ultimately we're talking about the same thing, here. Good day, didibus!

For the monster hardware it has, Oculus (at least in games) can only rival a PS2 in terms of polygon count. Pair that with the 5% GPU utilization metric and you get that this device can handle a whole lot more load and it's just being

Depends on your situation, sometimes a WhatsApp group is enough, although there's always someone that doesn't have it (for reasons of their own, all are valid). What's your use case? You could make a case that pen-and-paper l

What a macabre calculation, and as poetic as it is, so befitting its own passage in a Harlan Ellison novel, I feel nothing as I read it. I still like chops.

If you can't sell those 15-minute intervals to someone else, you should probably bill them anyhow. If the customer thinks you are expensive then drop the price a bit, you know what you did so round the final number down to a nice even
