I spent some time in India. One social aspect that I noticed right away is that lines aren't really a thing. If someone is ordering food at a cart, and you stand behind them, other people will assume you don't want to order and

I like this idea. I went looking for an Android launcher for this purpose. I settled on "niagra". It doesn't really limit anything, but it allows me to hide the app menu visually. I just have 7 apps on my main screen. An

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't modern web servers often use a handful of threads, and use epoll for each thread? If so, could this be a Part VIII?

It says that it is also backed by kqueue and supports FreeBSD , NetBSD, and OS X. I found this issue where they're discussing rewriting the Windows implementation using the library `wepoll`. https://github.com/tokio-rs&

I'm not sure why it wasn't chosen, but I can give you some arguments against it. The braces introduce line noise. They introduce a new scope. I believe that rustfmt will currently put a newline after the opening brace. And it

Most of the work you're talking about has been completed for a long time in the crate "mio". It abstracts out all of the platform dependent async io operations into a single consistent interface.

Fizzbuzz isn't a trick questions that you have to have heard of. It's designed to be an EXTREMELY easy question, answerable by anyone with even a basic knowledge of programming. It's not a game. It's a way to weed out

My wife and I have been studying nutrition for several years. Processed unnatural "foods" having bad effects on humans is an undeniable pattern that shows up over and over again. The reason for this is simply because of evolution

I once simply forgot to put some income on my taxes. I only leaned about it a year or two later. I not only owed about a thousand dollars, but also I owed back interest. I wish they informed me after 2 weeks.

This seems pretty amazing. I'm really curious how it manages to avoid data races. It doesn't seem to mention anything complicated like rust lifetimes. Also, what happens when unsafe C++ is converted to v, for example, code with i

I will back you up. I visited a coffee plantation in Guatemala and they said they sort all of their beans by size before selling them. I asked if people paid different prices, but they said no. The reason was that the roasters want consis

That's probably what I would say if I worked at Facebook. The uncomfortable line of questioning would be if you asked me WHY I don't have a Facebook. And I would explain why I don't like giving my attention to an AI driven n

I have to disagree. Everyone knows that they should eat a salad instead of a cake. But what does healthy eating look like normally, when it gets more nuanced, and when you might actually enjoy eating it? Does a healthy meal look like a s

I'll share my story. I used to work at a popular Linux website hosting control panel company. Back in the early 2000's "frontpage extensions" were a thing that people used to upload their websites. Unfortunately, frontp

You'll love my story. I'll keep it short. Basically, one day, I started getting pressure and pain and ringing in my ear. It was really bad about every other day. I went to an ENT and he diagnosed me with meniere's disease

I've switched all of my mobile browsing to Firefox with ublock origin. I've got the "annoyance" filters enabled. It's a game changer.

You're downvoted. Maybe because of your snarky tone, but I think you have a point. Twitter is a cesspool with all of the same problems as Facebook.

There was an article a year ago or so that I thought was pretty convincing. It talked about how multiple high frequency spying devices could be interfering with each other and creating the effect. What happened to that theory? No one seeme

I've always wondered this. When encryption algorithms are broken, we phase them out for new ones. When cell tower protocols have weak encryption we don't seem to do anything about it. I hear that edge and 2g protocols are compl

I use vscode with the rust (rls) extension. It's not perfect. Sometimes when I edit cargo files it gets stuck and isn't recompiling my code. When that happens, I just ctrl-shift-p and select "reload window" and it&#x2

My daughter at 12 got sucked into Tumblr and developed an eating disorder. She was in this gigantic web of pro-ana tumblrs with crazy diet plans that tell you to eat like 100 calories a day. Then the app would just keep suggesting more, &

Those are all things that could fix the problem. But let me ask this another way. Imagine that you travel into the future a decade or three and a computer scientist tells you "pretty much no one gets buffer overflows anymore because o

He talks like the way he writes code has been established as best practice for decades, and if he can just write enough blog posts and convince enough people, maybe we can solve this problem once and for all. I think the only way to have hi

I find it best to put a TODO file in the project that I'm working on. Sometimes I commit it, sometimes I hide it from git. I think it's a big advantage to have it all in one place, not very far from the code, and it won't g

The only time I ever hear it is from SJWs talking about how we shouldn't value open source contributors on their merit, but we should instead somehow ascertain their race and treat them differently according to it.
