   Eh, I've listened to hundreds of his episodes. Some are good for a laugh, some have interesting guests and I learn a thing or two, some I can't make it through. Not everything has to be a text book. What exactly is the problem? I

   Yea, listening to EEVblog for too long makes my ears hurt. Mike is much more chill.

   Consider, for a moment, how much value a company like Uber gets from the Google Maps API.

   There is no longer a need to perform rotations on the car tuple because it can be treated as symmetrical.

   Maybe it's an OS for people who like systems and not CSS?

   You sure are difficult. There is a non-trivial set of text that is both valid JSON and a valid python dict. Many people would consider the two very similar.

   There is a world of software outside of useless saas/web shit-ware where you don't have to deal with overzealous SV enthusiasm.

   I think you are purposely mis-interpreting me. Python dicts are practically, syntactically identical to JSON. Yes, python dict values can be any python value the same way JSON in JS can be any JS value. Point being, someone coming from pyth

    Python objects and JSON are practically identical.

    I've come to really enjoy pot since graduating college. For the first two years out of school I began smoking daily - largely for self medicating purposes. I eventually had to take a break because I found my relationship with the subst

    I believe it is a current law of physics that even the propagation of information is limited to the speed of light. So, no.

    I think you are missing my points. This language feature cannot be used to eg, create a TCP header. It has nothing to do with the C++ ABI. And no, bit packing is not for memory saving, eg MISRA disallows bitpacking for the purpose of space

    Unfortunately this cannot be used to pack an integer that is sent over the wire or to produce a register for a hardware peripheral. Basically this is not a valid substitution for most use cases of bit packing and can only be used to save a

    I was working on a similar problem recently and ended up dropping all the fancy OOP footwork for a handful of static functions.

    Is it wrong to use google to get to duckduckgo? I would describe this situation as ironic but fail to see how ethics come into question. We have no such obligation to the products we use.

    I have to disagree with you here. Psychedelics help people - the idea that they should only be taken by individuals who are in a 'good' place is missing so much of the point IMO. I began experimenting with psychedelics during the

    The harder a company tries to sell their philosophy the less I'm inclined to believe them. Words are cheap.

    Interesting, why not just replace the text then? Where can I find more info about this? I was actually trying to find a good source of info about PDF's recently and couldn't really find much.

    This pdf looks like a scanned book but I can highlight and copy text from it? What exactly is going on here? Does Chrome pdf viewer have built-in OCR?

    Neither of those links really address my question.

    It's like evolution. Why does some weird, seemingly useless creature exist? Because it fills some crack in the ecological economy. Someone was willing to buy this piece of shit and that is explanation enough for its existence.

    Is 'proxy' new tech jargon? I've been hearing it a lot lately.
