No, you are right, it’s fundamental. It’s like not knowing what memory is, let alone how it’s managed. This isn’t an attempt at gatekeeping and I do understand that it’s possible to write useful software without understanding the fundamenta

Canada’s immigration process is based on a points system. If you are not working, don’t speak French or are over a certain age, then I wouldn’t rate your chances too highly. The reason is the “move to Canada to cover health expenses” part.

This trilogy features long sections from the perspective of the Trisolarans without any humans around and their motivations are central to the plot.

Yes. This is why the much-maligned (around here) category of “enterprise software” is so hard and why the results are often kind of shitty.

Yes, and in the northern hemisphere at least, you quickly realize that foraging for plants is a waste of time. There just isn’t enough calories. Re daily hunting, meat actually keeps for quite a while when hung in cooler temps (heat is not

Linux has GPL linking exceptions so the full terms of the license do not apply.

My advice is to join a large company (50,000+ employees) as they offer considerably more room for growth. Your career will go in unexpected directions thanks to all the options you’ll have. And you’ll make more money.

This is a very late response, but thanks. I’ll give it a look.

As the parent mentioned, Macs are extremely popular in the SV development scene. Even large, stodgy 70,000 person companies like Cisco consider them the standard.

Thanks for submitting this. I’ve read a few athletes’ autobiographies and was always let down by the banality of the prose and the lack of insight. A good example is Lynn Hill’s “Climbing Free: My Life In The Vertical World”. Even the title

This fantastic comment accurately captures the feel of the CBC in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, when I was a small child. We had one channel growing up in the north, logically called CBC North, and I always wondered if anyone actually picked up

Lifetimes qualify as esoteric, I think. They seem unique to Rust (please correct me if wrong) and are not immediately intuitive.

Not sure if it’s precisely what you’re looking for, but I’m currently reading and working through Coding the Matrix, which is linear algebra by way of Python. There are few assumptions and you start coding pretty early on.

Yes, in these situations materialized views with indexes are generally the correct answer.

Assuming you are talking about parent/child processes, use the --forest option in ps for an ascii art process tree.

Yeah, maybe I can help here as I faced the same stark realisation some years back. Generally speaking, higher testosterone levels are correlated with higher protein and fat intakes, mainly because cholesterol is used by the Leydig cells in

Yes, and to go along with this newly-acquired process knowledge, they pull in an SAP rollout. Massive amounts of money to be made here.

A local government won't have the software developers on staff to handle eg a new computerized transit ticketing system. I've also seen Accenture used to handle SAP rollouts, which can be immensely complex. I'm not saying the

I think the parent to your post was asking why only loggers in Maine were noted with this condition. Logging exists elsewhere in areas vastly larger than Maine, but this condition was localised to that vicinity.

Since when is reading solely about learning and progress? Where is there room for fiction in this information-consumption view of the literary world?

In my circle of male friends, I am the only one who reads fiction. My female friends are more likely to read fiction and some even belong to book clubs, where they sit around and discuss books. In my entire life as a reader, I've never

Yeah, I'm blown away when I watch videos of people smashing Dark Souls 3 while almost never dying. Then I think of the 2000+ hours it must have taken to achieve that level of muscle memory and expertise. Then again, they are making mon

Yeah, I agree with you. I first read it when I was around fifteen years old and didn't quite grasp it all at first but it sure fired me up. I read it a couple of times after that, the last time when I was around 21 or so. I'm kind
