I don't know Zig, but conceptually: a direct pointer is the fastest way to access an object. An arraylist is the fastest dynamic sequence of objects (fattest in access, not in growth). You use these when you need the performance. It&#x

What second-order effects...? Feels like such an oddly opqaue way to talk about them. And how do you ignore the effect of the fact that rent no longer rises during the life of the tenant, making it lower after a while than it would otherwis

Even leaving aside the quantitative stuff (p-values, medians, whatever) and can't crunch the math, IMHO at least you should have seen how statistics can lead you to the exact opposite conclusion from reality, so that you at least kno

I think you're missing what I'm getting at. Yes, I understand that part. But do you seriously think that if TSMC was destroyed right now, China would change its decision to invade Taiwan? Can you imagine what the actual conseque

Let's say they execute that plan. What then? Would it win them anything?

Semi-off-topic, but I have a basic question: I have exactly one (Windows) machine at home with a decent GPU. I want to run a local LLM on it and let it run various apps on my machine while taking reasonable security precautions. What am I s

Before I dive into the paper: the claim was that some effect was generally accepted , not that a study was performed on it and that it drew a particular conclusion. Is this actually going to establish the former or are we just assuming tha

I've seen extremely smart/well-educated people (not in politics or any skin in the game) argue the debt isn't really a problem. "It's not like your household debt" and all. This one probably isn't just abo

I could see buying multiple copies being useful to mitigate problems, like damage. But buying all the copies is categorically different and I cannot imagine why they would attempt that, except perhaps to prevent their competition from get

Where did you see they tend to buy all the copies? This comment is the first time I've heard of this.

Can't help but wonder if making it costly for themselves the entire point. So that they can later turn around and bill that distribution fee to the recipient.

I don't think that argument was meant for a court, which is there to deal with existing law. I believe it was meant for what the law should be.

Same story here as your first paragraph. But I can't bring myself to make the switch. Not just because of the pain or changing addresses but also because (among other reasons) payment introduces failure modes that I don't find acc

From your reply it sounds like you're still voting Republican, just not for the candidates that you classify as "MAGA"? In which case I guess that's a (current) RINO... Assuming my assumption is correct, I hope you'

Would it be fair to say the blame falls squarely on Github? Why do they even allow pasting of arbitrary strings from a title directly into a script? And if they feel there is a reason, what did they imagine the safe way to do it was?

Not to veer too far off-topic but are former-Republican and RINO mutually exclusive? How can one simultaneously be a Republican (in name or otherwise) while calling themself a former Republican? Either you've stopped voting Republican
