The problem is that this doesn't mean anything, at least in terms of the C programming language. You say "When integers overflow, they do that and nothing else," but there is no definition of signed integer overflow, so the

It is true that on Twitch, when a popular game has drops, the viewer numbers go through the roof. But I don't think you can extrapolate that an unpopular platform could pull viewers away from Twitch by having a bunch of unpopular strea

Microsoft is making the Game Pass catalog playable on mobile devices. I think that's their strategy there.

I don't know about that. They gave it like four years and spent a lot of money promoting it and it was still microscopic. They could have tried other things, but if Ninja couldn't draw viewers, do you really think a bunch of obscu

It also seems chronologically wrong since a woman who is middle-aged today would have been in the prime age group for the Nintendo Entertainment System.

If you're going to hold people responsible for meeting a metric, you need to ensure they have a way of measuring the thing in question. To do otherwise is unreasonable by definition. If Twilio's definition of "sending spam&qu

Yes, but the cost of N streaming services is not N * (Netflix + Internet), it's (N * Netflix) + Internet — and the internet has utility outside of streaming services as well. The internet price is the same whether you subscribe to 0 or

For what it's worth, I suspect most Rust programmers would consider twiddle(foozles: &[Foozle]) to be the most idiomatic option for general use both in 2015 and today.

Surely the difference there is that Rust doesn't have header files.

"Autist" is a term (usually pejorative these days) for people on the autism spectrum, most of whom are not creepy weirdos.

When used well, analogies aren't meant to prove a point, they're to illustrate a point. It is actually useful for two people to offer different analogies that they think are appropriate, because it helps to show their point of vie

There's a big difference between "the GIL is net neutral or positive in terms of performance" and "removing the GIL from Python after 30 years of having it baked in is pretty hard to do cleanly." What you're ob

I think it is relevant here because it provides evidence on whether other countries are likely to put their foot down against China over things like this.

Like 90% of the job interviews I've been to have asked me something along the lines of "rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 on these technologies," so maybe you don't want to see 4/5 stars in Python, but it does seem t

This exact process has been used by spammers for a long time now. It's called spinning, and it is basically the kind of thesaurus replacement you're describing here. When I read the OP, my impression was that these authors were ru

Quora doesn't really depend on status. If some random 17-year-old in Nicaragua who's really into the topic you asked about can provide the answer to your question, that's a good outcome. Clubhouse was not about knowledge tran

More like "just the one example." This same case is trotted out every time somebody wants to make this point because it does not actually seem to be a trend. But besides that, it doesn't answer the question you were respondin

This data supports my point. It does not say "trans women are treated as men for purposes of dating," it says "trans women are not broadly considered attractive." They specifically call out that few people of any sexua

I don't think this conclusion is justified by the data, though. If this were just a matter of "they'll humor trans people, but everyone secretly knows trans women are men and treats them accordingly," you'd expect g

I sympathize with your overall point and agree that it's shameful how America treats diabetics like an ATM, but I think you're very far off-target if you envy the way transgender people are treated. Lots of anti-transgender people

Well, sure. If you ask people whether they consider Black and Asian men equally as sex partners, the numbers would also fall through the floor. This doesn't mean Black or Asian men are less of men, or even that they're necessarily

Based on the numbers I've seen, there are slightly more trans people in the world than blind people, but overall — you're not wrong. I don't even think most trans rights advocates would disagree with you that the amount of at

They specifically said "SMS as a second factor." What you're discussing here is a completely different different use of SMS that nobody is arguing in favor of.
