I've always found them great for weddings/reunions with groups of 4-6 renting a small house, which usually ends up being much better value for the price than hotel rooms and suites, and much more convenient than traditional house

Yes! Wet cat food is so unpleasant to deal with, despite being arguably much healthier than kibble. IIRC, since cats prefer to get their fluids from food rather than drinking water from a bowl, wet food goes a long way in preventing dehydra

No, they just have to be US citizens at birth: either born on American soil or to U.S. parents abroad. This is why Ted Cruz and George Romney could run for president despite being born outside the U.S.

As a counterpoint, golf courses drastically increase the course difficulty prior to tournaments by growing out the rough and cutting grass on the green shorter (which lowers friction and makes the ball roll/bounce off the green easier)

The real question is whether a thread-based actor model is any better performance than existing approaches in python for cpu parallelism. At this point, about 95% of cases that need CPU parallelism are already going to be implemented as nat

It's always worth reminding folks that weak typing and implicit conversions can plague statically typed languages. C's implicit pointer array-to-pointer and pointer-type conversions are a major source of bugs for beginner and expe

So I guess keydb is pretty solid in production? I considered it when running into problems with redis, but opted against it since none of my co-workers had any experience with it

In python-land, I like to use glom[1], which is basically jq but operating on arbitrary python data structures. I believe there are bindings for jq in python in other languages, which would allow operating on data structures, but I imagine

Theoretically, redis-sentinel would be perfect for a clustered system like kubernetes. In practice, I've always found it a nightmare to deploy and use due to its hacked-on service discovery (which is redundant in kubernetes), and lack

I love how ARM's killer feature of low power consumption came completely by accident. [1] ACORN designed ARM as a desktop processor with good memory bandwidth, and only discovered its energy efficiency when a prototype continued runnin

Apparently, Pico8 encodes the compressed app data directly in the PNG pixel data. They use 2 least significant bits of each color channel to encode a single byte of data per color. The pixel count of pico8 cartridges is what creates the con

And if you like the immediate mode API, just use something like raylib's rgl[1] that emulates an immediate-mode API on modern OpenGL. Aside from performance benefits, you can port your code to GLES or WebGL, where immediate-mode isn&#x

As verbose as it often is, the lack of an opengl-style state machine in Vulkan (or Wgpu/Metal/Dx12 for that matter) makes it so much easier to reason with. About 70% of the bugs I've had to deal with in OpenGL involved me for

In a browser environment, all addressable memory accessible to WASM is more-or-less just a javascript ArrayBuffer object. If you can unintentionally break the browser sandbox with buggy C++ code, someone else has almost certainly already co

The C++ code is running on webassembly, which is no more at risk of buffer overflow attacks than vanilla javascript. Worst-case scenario, you could have memory leaks in the C++ code or in the wasm-javascript interface (since javascript does

By 476, Rome hadn't been the primary capital of the Western empire for almost 200 years. Diocletian moved the capital of the Western Augustus from Rome to Milan in 286[1]. The Capital then moved from Milan to Ravenna in 402, where it r

I see about 220 tubes in that pic, and I'd guess he'd need at least twice that to replace bad/broken tubes. I bet there are more that aren't visible, so it should cost a few hundred dollars. Still, it's a huge stea
