They should follow in the steps of news media and simply block users who use ad blocking. But they seem hesitant to, probably because that would risk losing the engagement of those users.

It depends on the Premium tier.

Depends on the Premium tier. But yes, uBlock and Sponsorblock together do a much better job of removing the ads.

Paying for YT doesn't remove the ads. On the other hand, the golden era of YouTube has passed. You aren't losing out on much if you simply stop using it.

Yes, and sharing midi files was commonplace before mp3s took over. Mid and mod, what an era.

FYI, Janet has fibers and parsing expression grammars. Many scheme implementations also feature some form of pattern matching.

This has been a pattern since the first release of Unreal Engine. It's how we managed to smoosh it onto PS2 and Xbox.

If the designers were truly considering the well-being of the occupants of the vehicles then they would be designing cities to minimize the time spent in vehicles; which means more than saving a few seconds at a stop light, it means getting

> Why don’t lights ever sit idle with the pedestrian crossing on and the cars must wait? The author knows the answer as well as most readers do: because the intersection is being designed with cars in mind, not human beings.

In the mid-to-late naughts there arose the diploma mills, offering short programmes to turn students into silicon valley hopefuls. It fundamentally shifted the culture of software development.

I'm curious about Relational Lisp. It had the shortest development time, 3h to Haskell's 10/8; a middling/low number of lines of code, at 274; and only 12 lines of documentation. It describes Relational Lisp as being Lis

I preferred Eliminator and Frogbot to the Reaper bot because they were simply a little less perfect in how they played. Reaper had a habit of dominating routes and circle strafing with deadly precision, which just wasn't fun.

Consider this: var foo = OpaqueTypeName(.{}){}; What is the . eliding? You don't know. I don't know. It's impossible to tell because the type is opaque to our understanding.

by dleslie 2y ago
Except it's not entirely explicit. It allows the type name of the object being constructed to be elided. Per the article, this is the explicit form: var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocatorConfi

I do not know Zig either; I had assumed that it has default parameters, but it seems that it does not[0]. So, yes, it makes sense now why it cannot be elided. They should add default parameters to avoid this sort of thing. Maybe they ought

Seems like it could just be elided entirely. Why can't it be?

Without a new maintainer and perhaps a group of dedicated supporters, Carp may as well be considered abandoned. The existing head maintainer and major contributor has moved on to other things. https://github.com/carp-lang&#x
