EU lifestyle with a US salary is the perfect combination. I don’t know if you have that, but if you do, keep it! :)

Americans are not “strange”, whatever that means. The US has overall worse protections than the EU, that’s it. It sucks, we all know that. There’s no need to appeal to some weirdness argument.

a:b is almost universal as a range designator at this point. / is a _terrible_ choice, especially in a context where a fractional value would also make sense. That was just an objectively bad syntax choice, but probably keeping on trac

No surprise there. Providing quality care is in direct contradiction with optimizing for profit. I think hospitals should only be allowed to operate as non-profits. With maybe some carve outs, but fundamentally be non-profits. Another probl

Kudos on the debugging but also on that commit message. It managed to condense the cause and the fix into a couple of paragraphs.

Maybe in terms of time, but not in terms of actual performance. CPUs haven’t changed that much since 2011 (relatively speaking), but between Windows 3.1 and Vista we got x64 and multicore CPUs everywhere became the norm.

The dlopen/dlsym API uses void *, there’s really no alternative in C. It might be undefined in the sense that a language lawyer might care, but for any sane implementation it’s completely valid.

It’s a cultural custom, most likely you are talking about North America. Other places might not have the same custom but will have others that may seem odd or fake to us. If I’m not having a particularly good time I just respond “I’m alrigh

The only difference between an efficient, totalitarian regime and an inefficient totalitarian regime is time. Just give Singapore some time. A system in which there are no or few effective feedback mechanisms are bound to diverge over time.

Honestly, a light fluff piece without any real insights or actual content. SpaceX doesn’t value their software engineers enough. They are paid lower than top-market salaries and then put through the grinder. This is well known in the indust

I propose the Olympic committee to be the one not using AC, as well as not traveling by airplane or car, until they offset the equivalent amount of CO2 production. That’s a win-win! The athletes get to sleep well and we _also_ help the envi

“The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Germany, Australia, Italy, Canada and Britain were among the other countries with plans to bring air conditioners to France.” Yes… “American” things.

Funny, to me this English translation is very close in form and spirit to the Spanish one. I don’t know if I agree that “understands nothing” is comparatively a mouthful, considering that it’s 2 vs 4 words. But I do agree that the Spanish o

SpaceX has been printing the Draco and Super Draco engines for the Dragon capsule for many years. It’s a proven technology at this point. With 3D printing you can create geometries that are simply not possible with any other manufacturing p

Don't you think that would be going too far? I worry what unholy creations people might come up with... A tabular data tool with a full development environment might just be too much power concentrated in a single application.

What about "Visual <something>"? Since, you know, it's visual. This idea sounds promising. Who knows... you might even get one of the tech giants interested! Some of them have a lot of business customers that could use

There is no need to label him selfish. You don’t know him. He isn’t any more selfish than you are, traveling to a crowded conference while living with an immuno-compromised person, and on top of that expecting people to bend over to your r

Prioritize for empathy as a quality you look for in people. I find that empathic people tend to be very, very good friends. And lots of flexibility and forgiveness (for small things).

My cynical take is that if they mess something up they don’t want to end up with video evidence of it.

There is no such thing as apolitical art under communism. All forms of expression are meant to serve the state and to further spread the ideology. So you get these highly ironic situations where openly pro-communist artists were excluded, j

If you use arrays in C you are using pointers and pointer decay. There’s not a lot of useful C code that doesn’t use arrays.

Because you can't do that and still call the resulting language C. It would be a different language incompatible will _all_ existing C code. Pointer decay is a fundamental mechanic in C. If you use arrays in C, and you pass said arrays
