Nope. Rice wine, sorghum wine, barley wine. Those are 3 wines made from grains that I could name off the top of my head.

Thank you! I used Hotline all the time back in the day. I loved it! I was a member of quite a few servers. I really miss the cozy feel of a private community like that!

This line of reasoning -- "don't worry about these authoritarian power grabs, they're spearheaded by incompetent bozos" -- is faulty. Look at what's happening in the US right now! I'm not in either country but

We're talking about US citizens -- who are protected by the first amendment -- who have never set foot on UK soil being threatened with extradition to the UK! This is not justifiable.

All you have to do is search for it yourself. It’s not just UK citizens that are affected. They’re threatening to have US citizens extradited to the UK to face charges [1] for online speech that’s protected by the first amendment. [1] http

I don’t see how it’s foolish. When you mention a bazaar essentially no one thinks of the closed door meetings of the merchant guilds. Instead, they think of the hustle and bustle of a busy marketplace where all manner of goods, services, an

Yes, so isn't that a satisfactory answer for why the Republicans won't remove the filibuster? It's ultimately self-defeating.

Yes, they could remove the filibuster. But then if the Democrats retake the Senate in the midterm elections they will benefit from the removed filibuster and be able to undo everything the Republicans did in the first place. The filibuster

Shouldn't they then use Congress as intended rather than what they're doing now which bypasses it? They can’t because of the filibuster [1]. They cannot bypass the filibuster without a 3/5 majority which they do not have. T

Zig’s comptime feature gives a lot of the power of C++ templates. This makes it easier to implement a lot of libraries which are just a pain to do in plain C. Even seemingly simple things like a generic vector are annoying to do in C, unles

I have been using Duolingo for a couple years to learn some Mandarin. Its resources are pretty good, if a bit dodgy here and there (some occasional weird pronunciations or translations). I'm really excited about a Cantonese resource th

After (re)reading the article I've come to the conclusion that with proper provenance tracking through the cast to an integer, the comparison: (iq == ip) Should be replaced (at compile time) with the constant 0 (or false, if y

You still have a few bugs to fix (need to cast to uintptr_t after casting to void *, need to use printf with a proper format string) but now your code is valid. I believe it's still implementation-defined because different implementati

Section 6.3.2.3 of the C11 standard [1] reads: 1 A pointer to void may be converted to or from a pointer to any object type. A pointer to any object type may be converted to a pointer to void and back again; the result shall compare equal

They’re calling this a carnivore diet but it’s really an animal fat diet. Should more properly be called lipivore diet. The man wasn’t consuming mostly meat.

That’s a US-specific problem. Doctors dismiss patients’ complaints all the time in countries with universal healthcare. I think the issue is much simpler than that: if the doctor is out of ideas (and doesn’t know of a specialist to refer to

The symptoms may be very different but the causes may be similar: permanent damage to tissues and organs which the body is unable to heal over time.

As I understand it, they only deleted old threads. So, you're right, it was providing free support, but only for old versions of their software, so they didn't make any money out of that. The theory is, if people struggle with th

I just don’t understand why they shut them down in the first place. They couldn’t have cost much to keep running. They provide a huge amount of value in the form of free support for their products. What am I missing?

There is the story that von Neumann flew off the handle the first time he saw an assembler. That was in the 1940s when labour was very cheap and compute was insanely expensive. We’re talking hundreds to thousands of programmers’ salaries

Yes and you may search for other words that fit the rationalization to decide whether or not it's a good one. You can go even further if your teammates are people you know fairly well by bringing in your own knowledge of these people a

No, it doesn’t assume an array at all. It’s a data structure that maintains a totally ordered set with 3 operations: insert(X), delete(X), label(X) Where label extracts the label of element X (which had previously been inserted but not dele

Of course! If you’ve played Codenames and introspected on how you play you can see this in action. You pick a few words that feel similar and then try to justify them. Post-hoc rationalization in action.

What do rights have to do with it? We’re talking about supply and demand. There is supply, there is demand, and the delivery apps provide the logistics to connect the two. If we go back to the way things were 30 years ago then we have fewer
