I am fascinated by the nuanced opinions people have about word choice. What phrase would you use to ask someone to discuss a matter, but which you feel would be more appropriate for this kind of situation?

That's a good requirement to place on these services. Thanks for educating me.

Do those regulations really "ensure that [incidents like this] could not happen"? I ask this in good faith, because my observation of the last few years is that the incidents still occur, with all of the harms to individuals also

I also am often kept awake by my brain playing songs, wishing my brain would stop. A friend of mine spent about a month very focused on the aphantasia discourse, polling everyone he knew about little details. It forced me to consider it a b

I remember my dreams quite well. Years ago, I did a dream journal to up that even further. At the time, I discussed doing so with a friend, and she expressed a similar sentiment to yours. In our discussion, she explained not wanting to &quo

Mine as well. I have a fond memory of being at a party where someone had the idea to do dramatic readings of various Mickens Usenix papers. Even just doing partial readings, it was slow going, lots of pauses to recover from overwhelming lau

This is my read of the history as well. This is also the motivation that would lead me to advocate for adopting GraphQL for a product. Moreso than a technical decision, it is an organizational decision regarding resource trade-offs, and whe

My post was only intended as a commentary regarding how I approach GraphQL after a few forays into it (current stance: would not default to GraphQL, but not against it either). I was not intending to dodge your questions, but nor was I tryi

Instead of a client dealing with a server that only presents unopinionated, overly-broad CRUD endpoints for core entities/resources, GraphQL is a tool through which the client tricks the server into creating a bespoke viewmodel for it.

Sorry for the late reply. Some others have responded and I mostly agree, but I will add where I can. >is it ok to use Procs for example for extraction of block methods for cleanliness in refactors? As others have said, use Lambdas via

Years ago, I picked up a low profile, single-slot GPU that worked well in Linux to throw in old machines when someone gives me one to mess with or recover. The best fit at the time was a Yeston AMD card, and in a world of cards that are all

I'll never forget the big, dumb gorilla on the side of my mid-2000's 7900 GTX from a King Kong game tie-in product launch. Never played the game, but when I'm installing a GPU I sometimes think of that stupid decal and chuckl

I am familiar with what you are referring to. However, as it often is, Houston is a weird outlier because its development is so recent. The majority of its current footprint was built after 1970, with many neighborhood pools and community p

Hmm... I do a decent job at new, exploratory library code with a glass of wine. Not business logic, not exacting data invariants, nothing I would ever ship to production, but exploring interfaces for a library? Yeah. Asking "What does

>Ruby has a concept of mixins (Golang interfaces), these are not objects. Ruby "mixins" are the affordance of sharing instance methods from a module via a keyword. Modules are objects, and are instances of class Module: m

There is a bit of personal preference in what "applies to a number", but I see what you mean. As a slight correction, a block is indeed an object! They are received by methods as an instance of the Proc class: def inspects_blo

Yes, I intended to use the term "discrete GPU" before using "dGPU" as a shorthand for that exact reason (in the second paragraph). I now see that I edited the first paragraph to use "dGPU" without first definin

I apologize for my lack of Smalltalk knowledge. As you can imagine, you can do similar in Ruby by defining ifTrue to accept a block, even adding ifTrue on other all objects and defining something similar: class TrueClass def ifTrue(

The "aesthetically pleasing" aspect of blocks is not mutually exclusive with real, first-class functions! Ruby is really more functional than that. Ruby has both lambas and method objects (pulled from instances). For example, you

Comparing this against mobile dGPUs and the (finally real) DGX Spark, this feels like a latent market segment that has not arrived at its final form. I don't know what delayed the DGX Spark so long, but it granted AMD a huge boon by al

If you mean "can it be done with the connections" the answer is yes, as there are many PCIe x4 add-inboards for an external oculink port on the market. As for framework's desktop specifically, their site says this about the P

>Ruby will be lucky to have a shadow of the community left after this. Maybe? This feels like an extreme statement with too much certainty at this point.
