It’s interesting they didn’t use a less conspicuous domain name and content. Like something related to analytics perhaps.

For work-related reasons I use both a new-ish ThinkPad running Windows, and an M1 MacBook Pro. I also hate how unrealiable macOS has become compared to earlier versions. But that's still nothing compared to the Windows notebook. Like a

I recommend you try to do it -- it's a fun exercise, and will very quickly answer any remaining doubt why it can't be done manually. We actually did that in university; the public key we used was something like 91 (not hard to fac

For anyone outside of Germany who's wondering, the introduction mostly has the function of explaining the setting and the key repeating line to people who might not be completely familiar with the English language. It's usually sh

I love the moving of goalposts that's happening here. "Just pick a server", "you can always migrate" moves to "you can always migrate if you happened to have picked a server not run by a hobbyist". Which,

I agree that subcommunities are a useful feature. That only proves my point, though. The positive example you give, Discord servers, are a lot more like subreddits than they are like Mastodon servers. You can join multiple of them, the powe

Assuming you mean an actual blockchain and aren't just using it, as some people seem to do, as a catch-all term for cryptographic signatures, it's expensive overkill. Social media really doesn't need to pay the brutal computa

You can't migrate your followers that way, can you? Which is (arguably) for many people more important than the content of their posts.

Sure, it’s good to point out the difference between “the behavior of a typical optimizing compiler” and “things actually guaranteed by the language”. The context of the discussion was the former, I think. I’m not even that certain that mono

I only recently realized that certain type system features, like polymorphic recursion, make monomorphization impossible in the general case. In Haskell for example, it’s by necessity only an optimization that’s used where applicable, and n

To add to this, even the Foo-wrapper is gone, just the i32 remains. Rust values are amorphous data blobs at runtime.

I had a similar thought once, and while I still think the idea is correct, I just haven't found any variable width font for which this works for me. Most fonts have very narrow punctuation symbols. That makes sense for the visual flow

How do you do the (IMO common) 0 <= index < length?

by codeflo 4y ago
You can’t. It’s worse, in fact, because users can’t delete them.

Not sure if it’s fair to downvote tcmb for not seeing this — the second rules page was rather well-hidden, I overlooked it as well.

I noticed that Google Search itself has very recently become much more aggressive about asking for location permission. Coincidence, or is collecting more location data someone high up’s KPI for the year?

It's my understanding that WASI is using Unix-like abstractions, because they also target native execution, while the AssemblyScript would prefer web-like abstractions, because they exclusively target the browser. From your second link

Why does a „3rd party encryption software” appear in the call stack of a user mode process in the first place? Is this another case where a “security” software injects broken DLL files into all processes in your system?

No problem, just introduce intreallymax_t and later intmaxthistimewereallymeanit_t.

The “coverage” explanation given by the top answer doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. With the manufacturing tolerances involved (especially historically when those values were chosen!) the idea that 22 and 47 gives more useful combinations

To add to that, Java doesn’t make it convenient to have a place that catches checked exceptions only , because the inheritance hierarchy is the wrong way around for that. Also, the type system isn’t strong enough in most cases to express s
