Regardless of how much I hate Musk, he did a great job of firing 80% of Twitter staff.

Yes, forgot about that. Aren't C/C++ compilers also very diverse today as well? GCC vs CLang with its intermediate representation sound like different planets.

Well I enjoy mowing my lawn (with a mechanic mower of course). Anything but the office chair and monitor.

I firmly believe that any thoughtful rewrite is good. Most companies just don't have resources for that. At least, it serves as a security review, but also refreshes team knowledge of the system. They usually also improve documentation

While diving into R/C hobby, I learned that all the batteries within one technology are pretty much the same. Like all Li-Ion batteries have nominal voltage about 3.6V-3.7V, and full charge at about 4.25V, depending on how risky you ar

Today people think that Java's main feature was OOP, but its main selling point was "no undefined behavior" (e.g. "int" means 32-bit signed integer with overflows, on any platform, no exceptions). Today it sounds no

Off topic: what is the most convenient statically typed language that don't require compilation/transpilation? To run instead of bash or Python, but types are mandatory (not just hints like python). I know jShell has been here lik

Yes, because you did not need to copy it to all devices. You could stream your own library at any device. Probably you could set up a homelab server and there are tools/apps for streaming it to your own devices, but I havent bothered y

Same thing with Google Music, it was perfect. You could stream, or could buy and download mp3, or you could upload your library to it. And the best feature: "I am feeling lucky" -- play a random song you ever liked and keep playin

Cool, as a further research, I think it may be good for GPU/SIMD. Because as a human you quickly see where is the boundary between groups, where to split. But our eyes are parallel to some degree, while computer needs to scan items one

Curiously, most homeowners, even recent ones, vote against changing that, because nominal value of the tax would go up for everyone, so we have the status quo. But the solution I think should come out of the budget -- say, a municipal budge

Don't know why people downvote and flag your comment, vouched for it. HN votes are a not designed to be "agree/disagree", they supposed to mark interesting comments that spark curiosity, even if I disagree with them. You

Yes, I mentioned literal famine. But I'm talking about budget deficit -- more exports money certainly should help with balance.

It goes up. E.g. Washington state has a lot of cheap hydroelectricity, but once they started selling it to other states, it's local prices grew up a lot. But I'm talking about budget deficit: more money in -- easier to service deb

I'd say a lot of verbosity comes from generalization -- when you want the code to be reusable and moddable (pluginable). No wonder two widely moddable games (Minecraft and Kerbal Space Program) are written in Java and C# respectively,

Well technically they sold you product that does not satisfy description, so you can claim money back even after warranty period ends (same as factory bugs/mistakes, they cannot be put under warranty period).

IntelliJ has that since 2018, with visual change-by-change checkboxes that should go into each commit, very handy.

My point is: why don't anyone makes a fuss over water searches the same way as airports? It's been like that forever. There are reddit discussions about water searches, but never on HN or any news. To. Me it seems interesting disc

Well, I remember back in the day Java was winning a lot of love from C++ devs over its much-much faster compilation than C++. It was important, even 15+ years ago. People praised faster iteration time while coding.

Please note that "search" does not mean agent just scrolling through your photos. In Belarus, such "search" means plugging a USB cable and downloading everything from your phone AND connected clouds (Google Photos, iClou

People are doing that in Belarus (since 2020 the repression still continue). You also need to create a convincing profile and story for all the usual apps. Alibi if you wish.

Interesting that all that rules don't apply to water. The moment you stepped on a boat, coastal guard can (and do regularly) board it and conduct a search without any reasoning. They don't need any probable causes, warrants, nothi
