For what it’s worth, for me, the time-to-first-attempt-to-run-it is faster in Python or Node than Rust (sometimes), but the time-to-first-working program is generally not, and by the time I have the Rust one working, it handles most of the

Indeed, I didn’t mean to imply that “if the offspring is completely deprived of adequate touch or if the infant or toddler experiences only violent or painful touch stimuli” (to quote one of those) then things would be fine. Honestly, mayb

I’m not sure how this works on Linux exactly but in principle you don’t need to support overcommit to avoid that problem. On illumos for example anonymous memory allocations come from swap, which is a virtual resource that includes both di

This sounds pretty cool. I just went through the docs but I can’t tell physically how you install the CTs. Our mains come into the house underground and into the electrical panel and of course the wiring is all in the walls. Are you suppos

I am not sure if this would be a problem with wireless as well, but I've had very inconsistent experiences having Carplay start at all using a dongle. I'd say right now it works about 70% of the time, and about 25% of the time

But, assuming we take the facts of the post at face value, there clearly wasn’t a rational cost-benefit analysis that resulted in only teaching large lecture-style courses and deliberately serving only those who could thrive that way. The i

I don’t think anybody would claim it’s supernatural. Only that for doctors who have seen lots of patients, they (their subconscious?) pick up on signals that they cannot consciously articulate, which means they can’t be easily taught or che

But you’re not buying kWh in this example. You’re buying home energy systems. They have many tradeoffs, pro and con. Besides that, for many people, a kWh produced by a renewable energy source or that’s available to them when the grid is d

Right, and they don’t take into account things like “my credit card gives me 2 free checked bags on United”. So in the end it’s still too opaque to really compare prices easily.

I’m not sure what use case you’re coming from but it sounds like you’re saying something like: most end users don’t use a profiler or debugger so why should they pay the cost of debuggability? That’s fine I guess if you’re throwing software

Even in a forum that's mostly beginners, you can still construct responses that are appropriate for both beginners and experienced users. There's no need to assume.

Agreed, the approach sounds very interesting and I can see how it could be very effective! I'd love to try it on my own stuff. That's why it's so surprising (to me) to claim that the approach found nearly every bug in somet

The best definition I've heard for "bug" is "software not working as documented". Of course, a lot of software is lacking documentation -- and those are doc bugs. But I like this definition because even when the d

Thanks -- that's very clarifying! But isn't this circular? The lack of bugs is used as evidence of the effectiveness of the testing approach, but the testing approach is validated by...not finding any more bugs in the software?

I think this is easier said than done. You can certainly save enormously by skipping a lot of the traditional stuff (nice meal, music, cake, attire, photographer, etc.) altogether. But there's a reason those things are popular. A ni

It's been a little while since I wrote JavaScript. Aren't Function objects immutable? Would it not satisfy the desired behavior of clone to reference the same function (not copy it) in the new object?

I’m still not sure what principle you’ve got that’s being violated here? Given that one has chosen to implement part of the runtime linker/loader in userland, what’s wrong with fitting that into a more generic facility (supporting int

What distinction are you making? Do you think it should be part of the kernel? I ask because ld.so (the runtime linker/loader) is part of the OS on many systems.
