I like reading about software history and this is a new angle to approach it from. When did people start testing one another on this particular thing, and why not this other thing? I learned how to write linked lists in some first year comp

We have a couple thousand of them in my town on a seasonal basis every year because they feed on the spawning salmon. They are a bit of a tourist attraction.

LSC is just a language server plugin, right? That's not even close to covering what an ide like Intellij does, eg static analysis, code coverage, profiling, etc.

You are right, I have noticed this especially with the tiny house people. They build the house to save money and then park it somewhere. But where? Almost inevitably, it's family land, like a farm or something. Other posters have noted

Yeah, I am on Webex much of the day and it's generally great, even over a slow vpn with many attendees and video feeds. But I use the native client on MacOS. I wonder if a lot of the complaints are coming because of the browser-based v

I get what you're saying, but learning C teaches you about the C memory model instead of "real machines". C was designed for portability across different architectures and, believe it or not, was considered high-level and abs

It depends. For the obvious case where you are 100% bald, eg a classic receding hairline, then there is no need. But if you get a transplant into a thinning area where there is still active loss happening with the remaining follicles, then

It's down to the skill of the surgeons. You get what you pay for, I suppose. Many people fly to Turkey because hair transplants there are cheap for some reason but from what I've heard, results can be poor for the reason you state

Yeah, he had a hair transplant. Numerous (most?) male actors have them as well. It's a routine operation and it works pretty well. I know a few guys who had transplants and you can't tell they aren't natural as the surgeons a

Same here, except I use a #2. Nearly every guy can control his build and when you are younger, you are a testosterone-fueled muscle building machine. Young men (and women, to be honest) reading this: take advantage of it.

I have a Majestouch 2 with Cherry Blue switches. It's loud and obnoxious, especially when meeting online as my laptop sits right next to it. I love it, so satisfying to clack away on and it is built like a tank. Edit: the only bummer i

Read Stephanie Kelton’s book “The Deficit Myth” for an elaboration on your questions. It’s a non-technical introduction to Modern Monetary Theory. Spoiler: you are correct, the rules are different for nations that control their sovereign cu

Not exactly a technology, but parents who are mathematicians would be my guess. Developing a reasonably deep and intuitive understanding of statistics, probability and linear algebra at a young age would be a huge advantage, especially when

But the study says exactly the opposite, that ample resources are key to innovation. Basic income would replace parental income as a backstop.

Yes, after watching the presentation linked in another comment, it appears the building blocks of Theseus are small code units called "cells", which correspond 1:1 with Rust crates. These can be swapped out because the dynamic loa

Sorry about the slow response. I can’t actually address your question because I work remotely from Canada. However, the four day week policy applies to everyone, including all US employees, so I guess in that respect at least things are pre

Yes, currently working through the Bernie Gunther series by Philip Kerr. Highly recommended. Bernie is a Berlin PI who ends up in the SS. It is pretty grim in spots but full of tremendous black humour as well. If you enjoy detective stories

After my mother died, her Yahoo email account was taken over by spammers. For some months, I’d open my spam folder to see an email from “her”. I finally located her password and killed the account.

I'm sure you're right. Plus, it's not like people in the "olden days" didn't bathe at all, even if it was to just take a dip in a lake.

I went to school with a guy who stopped bathing. After a couple of weeks, he was so pungent that the smell actually became somewhat sharp and startling. Standing next to him was almost overwhelming. Eventually, school staff had to take him

Many phenomena that are unbounded by physical laws follow power law distributions. Nassim Taleb uses book sales as an example: popular authors get more popular exponentially. But something physically bounded like height follows a normal dis
