   Question as a non low-level developer, and please forgive my ignorance: How is it that we're essentially 50 years in to writing sorting algorithms, and we still find improvements? Shouldn't sorting items be a "solved" pr

   Symlinks were a thing in the NT days; you just had to use a downloadable tool from Microsoft. Googling doesn't seem to provide much information any longer, unfortunately.

   How well does clang-format handle subfolders with their own rules? I don't know, as I'm not a C/C++ developer; but I know that the tools I use don't handle them very well. I still provide them, of course, because it&#x27

   Sure, it's difficult for a committer to keep up with all of the different styles. Imagine being a developer on a project with 50 different committers, all doing it their own way. As a committer, I would rather have it clearly explained

   Even if not, it would be nice to know if my email address(es) were included.

   I first saw it because someone made a calculator within their fortress. That interested me, but I don't know of any particular thing that made it popular with "the masses".

   Ah. I thought terrible meant "issues using the service." I do have some annoyances with how I'm charged for things, but I don't mind paying for services ($2/month for 200GB) that give me things without resorting to

    I think the implication wasn't that they were interchangeable, but that the machine they were expecting to see used CRTs, and instead, they found it using MCM.

    I'd be interested to hear what issues you have with Apple's cloud services. I, personally, have had no problems, but am definitely curious.

    "In the end." They're still riding high from iTunes and iPhone. I'm personally a fan of Apple, but who knows where this ship ends up.

    While a case of mistaken identity, this is an interesting question to consider.

    I'd note that many people in my social circle and family forget that iron is a basic nutrient. It happens. People forget that sodium is as well, especially with all of the talk about how bad salt is for you.

    Templates need some level of logic, yes. Putting the entirety of the business logic in your templates is not only bad, but dangerous. Because unless you're replicating your business logic in your non-template code, I can change thing

    I had some the other day. The liquid drink tastes like slightly sweet cornbread batter. Not bad, not great.

    I have. And one of my first steps after starting to clean things up is to switch to composer and autoload; because then I can start ripping things out much more easily, and still make improvements to both code quality and performance.

    Altman made it a very public conversation when he posted it on the YC blog. Others are just continuing to discuss in a similarly public venue.

    IMHO, developer time is more expensive than CPU time; I don't want or need to have to write out all of those requires. That's the job of the autoloader. And if I'm writing my code remotely well enough, each section only use

    But also because they won't join incorrectly. That was the biggest win in explaining it to other devs.

    I only slightly disagree with a couple of your points. 1) They aliased it to show how it should look. This is a contrived example, and you normally wouldn't alias these. 2) Aliasing tables is essential when you have join tables that

    By that definition Google and Facebook should do the same. Or asking a farmer to give away their seeds for a similar reason.

    You are. :) The comment was essentially stating that Facebook should have built two of the satellites, as a contingency plan. Rocket science is hard. Having a backup is easier.

    While true, NASA was able to have the shuttle program be so successful because of the things that they learned in the previous space programs. This is SpaceX's first space program. Don't compare a "senior" program to a

    To continue the thought... What about time on different planets? Our time is based on solar revolutions (mostly). If Mars had the same, their time would be different from ours very quickly.

    You can have any "control" you want by setting up your own "speedtest" mirror. It's hard to stop all of them.

    The data center where my employer used to house stuff tested their generators for short bursts weekly, and would run them for 8 hours every quarter.
