Side rant. Cut the Latinx crap please, Latinos don't really feel represented by the force-fed "inclusive" name that straight up goes against their gendered languages. It's overriding the language to seem more inclusive i

The ecosystem enables focusing on the task at hand. It's great that you don't need to get side-tracked at every single step. There's many high quality libraries.

You may want `fd | fzf` or fzy instead. That way you can filter and select interactively

To me it's obviously a scam because there's no way such an improvement can be achieved globally with a single post explanation. 90% faster is a micro-benchmark number.

You don't need to migrate everything, just getting the ones from users that migrated from twitter would help a lot seeding Bluesky profiles. You can also link Twitter to Bluesky with either OAuth, or a Twitter post with a Bluesky chall

It'd be cool if they also verified the dates to get rid of the warning of honest backdated posts.

If I touch C it has to have control over allocations, memory layout, and wrapping low level code into functions I can call from other languages. I'd target the latest C standard and won't even care to know how many old, niche comp

That sounds like the kind of code that you want to be done with and never touch again. You can only dream of it not being buggy or catching up with the newest standard.

It's not, and even if there's something in the standard, your compiler of choice might not support it yet. It's the same thing with the web and browser vendors, there's a constant mismatch, browsers propose and implement

> relying on compiler vendor extensions kind of defeats the purpose of that. Let's be honest, how many compilers are available, and how many of those would you actually use? The answer isn't more than 4 and the 2 compilers you

Sad that XML has too many features for an otherwise somewhat nice, but verbose markup language.

It's hard, I can imagine the average kinetic energy slowing down, but can't imagine heat halving since there's no halving we can feel without dying. Humans should experience something within -50°C to 50°C for most, if not the

Which is hard to grok since a third of something warm doesn't seem to be extremely cold.

This is a really good point. It's not easy to use both a laptop and a desktop at the same time. There's challenges around locality, latency, limited throughput, unavailability that software can't easily deal with, so you need

It also means that at the local scale it might be better to distribute steam. Think about future residential nuclear plants. It might not be worth investing into steam distribution on top of electrical as electrical is more flexible, but th

Mine too, but they have existed for a while now and seems their development is stuck and left to rot, there's many improvements around them that could be made to help improve privacy.

I feel you are diving a bit too deep. The problem at hand is a terrible algorithm, but you are going for the root problem of corner cutting everywhere thats leads to bad devs writing things hastily without thinking about the algorithms they

Even if they had alternatives. The cost of migrating is something that can always be avoided for short term savings.

Coding standards are down because companies wanted everyone to get in tech with bootcamps that would sidestep formal CS education. Excessive push for PMs also made everyone cut corners like crazy because other companies were also moving &qu

That's the thing, it forces me into a specific distro/kernel where the stuff that I actually want to run isn't available. I have a pair of Orange Pi 5Bs and they didn't really replaced my old Raspberries after spending m

We are. I'm knowledgeable, try to take care, and still see a lot of cracks in my privacy efforts and ways I could easily be tracked, so I completely understand how people might just give up.

It's really cool unless your visa is on the line. At least the US is falling apart fast enough that maybe it's not a bad idea to leave and stay out.

> There is the question of if layoffs saved the company enough to save itself or improve? They at least secured management a final big bonus for dealing with that, so management and shareholders cash in a bit on the way down.

A problem is that they can hire smart people to run the investigation, so the target on who to fool moves abruptly.

I wanted an XPS15 for a while, but they kept getting relatively worse than my 2017 one. I ended up just replacing the battery on it and kept the 1080p screen that wasn't great anymore, but I was not going to buy a laptop with a worse b
