Ok, since we're sharing controversial opinions... If you're going to rely on a fancy shell anyway, why not just throw make out of the loop altogether? That is, unless you're working on a big project where incremental builds

It would be a start if people had an easy way of comparing the pollution caused by each product when they're shopping. Like they can compare calories or fat in food, or the energy efficiency of light bulbs. Of course, if such a system

If recycling is profitable, then recycling companies will go out of their ways to get recycleable stuff in their hands. So they will go to the consumer. And waste disposal costs money, so consumer should have economic incentive to recycle

I think the answer should be closer to P2P. As in something that anyone can spin up like torrents on a seedbox or $2.5 VPS or some old PC in the corner, with no accounts or anything tied to the server.

Once upon a time, there was this thing we call User Agent, and it would serve the interests of the user (you), and you could set your preferences instead of having someone else try please everyone on the planet. Actually, those things still

I think it's possible to make fairly secure software but it's a massive change from the way software is put together today. Nobody really wants to pay for that. Even stuff like OS research (which is what we need if we want a prop

On the other hand, it will outlast many mass-produced low-end laptops made of the cheapest of components. Mine is still going strong after more than a decade. Also, these 300 eur laptops are not something I'd consider for everyday work

I think people writing Esperanto will just understand you if you use the x system without IME. If you're doing something that's going to get published, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out a way to convert ASCII to the rig

A few weeks of regular use and practice will overcome muscle memory. You just have to force yourself to never touch the old layout during that time. I think that's where most people stumble, because adapting a new layout while trying

Takes less than 100 ms to read in the file (calling realloc in a loop), insert a byte in the middle (realloc + memmove), and write the modified file out on stdout. The byte insertion amounts to about 4ms. That's hardly fast, yet still

Same. I generally write in C without too many layers between my code and the CPU, and it is just incredible how fast modern CPUs are with naive code that doesn't even attempt to be optimal. I wish others understood that, because the t

No, I'm not thinking of dec1 = hex1.toDecimal(); because num1 = 0xff00 + 64; works just as well and so does functionThatExpectsNumber(0b1101); as does p1 = mat1 * vec1; Lengths are just as absolute as in

Why do you want these compilation errors? Both are measures of length. I can add an inch and a centimeter, and the result is a well defined length that we can express in inches, centimeters, light years, or any other measure of length. Li

One better: a password generator in keyboard. You give it a master key and a short code, it derives a password from those two. Doesn't work in organizations that don't let you bring your own custom hardware though :C

Of course there are more options than that. Pen and paper works well for the more important stuff, while you can come up with passwords that are easier to remember for all the silly online services that demand a login but don't really
