I'm afraid you'd be dissapointed if you got what you wanted, because it'd likely be AI-generated money-laundering-core.

Yeah, and I didn't drink too much of it either; like 1 or 2 glasses a day, often 0, probably 1 on average.

I had gastritis (duodenitis, in fact) a couple of years back, and the first thing they did was test me for H. pylori. I didn't have it. Doctor told me a vast majority of people with such issues do. After a gastroscopy, they concluded t

How else is he going to feel superior? Establishment politicians in Europe, on the other hand, pretend to be nuanced, tolerant, resolute... But it's all a charade for midwits. It's as disgusting and dishonest as as American politi

Cool! I made my first HTML website in 2001, when I was 10. The ISP allowed you FTP some HTML and image files into a folder, and you got a little website. Figuring out HTML was not too hard for me as a kid. Things enclosing other things is n

I'm genuinely curious, how old were you when you were first exposed to sexual content? I think I was like 7 or 8. Like, we had a channel ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_Palma ) publicly broadcasting porn after m

Exactly. Either you opt for a timely, balanced, thought-out solution, or you have the traumatic over-correction forced upon you. I wish we could have real conversations about how to solve this issue, and not bury our heads in the sand. I&#x

Not really forced, but nudged towards. The trivial approach would be something like significantly higher taxes and social contributions for each subsequent adult year of childlessness. Wouldn't be unwarranted since you're a greate

We're in a situation where even discussing or proposing any realistic solution to this is considered too radical (how dare you propose controlling other peoples' lives). Yet societies will collapse because of it, or come close to

I set up my Arch install on my machine in 2015 and it took me a couple of days. That OS install has seen 5 SSDs so far, and 4 machines. My secret? I only buy hardware that's known to work well with Linux, mostly thinkpads, and I really

It's the same panel as a Huawei Mateview? I have two, it's one of the best monitors of all time. The only downside is the lack of a VESA mount (and the steep price, but slightly cheaper than this). The extra strip of pixels below

Of course they can leave. Not just that, everybody can leave for any reason whatsoever, including being bored of the project. But if you're leaving because of abuse, you're both letting the troll win and potentialy opening yoursel

by cue_the_strings 2y ago
Of course it is valid to leave, especially if it's prolonged abuse, but it's a two-edged sword. If you have some bored idiot on the other side, you leaving might encourage them to abuse you even more. If you yield further, then yo

It's the internet, strange that the author didn't face abuse like this before. He doesn't seem too young to have experienced such abuse online growing up. I wish I could say that everyone should be exposed to some aimless and

Nix falls into a category where it's incompatible enough with upstream that it requires significant packaging effort, for most libraries. This is especially so when you have complex C or C++ libs with imperfect Cmake and Autotools buil

I never knew how popular Emacs is before going into finance (which definitely tends to attract older programmers on average). I'd say it's more popular than Vim in my environment, which is surprising. It definitely has the air of

Exactly. You pick the format in the menu on the oscilloscope itself (the menu can be seen in the screencap).

I know that the Intel one does, I'm just looking for definite confirmation that the AMD one does. I'll shoot them an e-mail.

WOW! I think I'm going to pre-order one, trackpoint be damned! My wife is a bit suspicious of these laptops, let's see how this one fares. I just need to check if it'll work with my Thinkpad Thunderbolt 3 dock (or something s

If only they would make a laptop with an AMD processor, no discrete graphics + someone makes a decent keyboard with a trackpoint for it, I'd immediately buy 2, I don't care about the price. It's also likely that I'd be a

Your (non-technical) clients want to query the company's data, which is stored in who-knows-what way (Redis + Mongo + Postgres + Kafka + hdf5 + network filesystems with Apache Parquet files, whatever wakes you up at night). They just w

Well, I (and also my current employer and the whole team) think that C++ is the best proxy for general programming ability and understanding of CS. A person that understands the intricacies of C++ and all of its aspects, including the STL,

If you don't learn about grammars, lexers, parsers, ASTs,... you're at a huge disadvantage in many situations. 'Compilers' was my favorite course in university, and I've used most of that knowledge many times. I was

For reasons I can only speculate on, EE programs enlist way more people. It may be because EE is older and more entrenched, or because of ties with the industry. Engineering of any kind has centuries of prestige, historic industrial suppor

I do, in fact. The reason is that most embedded people are recruited from the ranks of EEs. At least around here (Europe), 1.5-2x more EEs graduate each year compared to CS people, and EEs doing EE stuff are paid even worse than embedded, i

It's not the C++, it's the embedded. Embedded is paid miserably, everywhere, no matter how complex or interesting. Simply put, having to manufacture things, with its supply chain, warehousing, manufacturing, ... is never gonna hav
