I’m sure this is true at some level. Just not _all_ levels. At some point you just can’t connect to the db on the other side because it belongs to a different institution.

The fact that he commanded the respect and loyalty of all those officers, who were older and more experienced, tells you a lot. Not a single one of those men, who served under his father and knew Philip's caliber, would have allowed an

I don't understand how Java is relevant here? Perhaps I'm missing your point. My point was that making GUIs today should not be any easier than 30 years ago because we have a lot more complexity across different OSs, phones, and t

Why would it be easier now? What does a better compiler get you in terms of building a cross-platform UI toolkit? We now have GPUs, mobile OSs with their own separate UI abstractions, the web, WebAssembly, etc. And people want write-once de

With the latest update it really started getting into “this is magic” territory. I tested on street roads and did very well. Didn’t get to try it on a highway though. And yet, it’s not worth $10k or $99 / month. I don’t drive for a liv

Horse breeders had millennia of accumulated history and culture at the end of the 19th century. Boeing today is not the same Boeing of yesterday. All that history means nothing if you can’t execute now.

I could perfectly hear in my head Jeremy Irons delivering those lines. What a fantastic scene.

And IIRC with a female romantic interest... that to me was the worst offense. It was an awful movie all around.

Isn’t most SEO content constantly tweaked and updated? Presumably to keep itself “fresh” to the crawler. What does after:2023 get you?

Right. Yes, you are correct. I assumed C++ was the language they replaced with Rust because they wanted to write lower level stuff, like their own engines (and they mention doing that). It makes even less sense to use Rust to replace one of

I copied this exact same snippet and was going to comment the exact same thing. Why choose Rust if you don’t care about maintainability and long term stability? Those are core values of the language! The language choice was wrong from the s

Yes. This sort of advice can be so misguiding, even though it came from a good place. Reality is that your passion is only profitable if it’s in high demand or if you are an outlier. It looks like OP is technically capable so he is probabl

I feel terrible for Lasse Collin. He was dealing with his own set of personal issues and is then targeted by this attack. He became overnight the focal point of the Internet, his project and himself scrutinized and analyzed in detail. Ruthl

I think you went on a wild goose chase _because_ it was a compiler bug. You never assume "it's the compiler" on the first try, so you go looking for bugs in your code that don't exist. Java's integer types maybe did

You trade that off by a healthy dose of foot guns and UB. And a non-existent standard library that encourages NIH write-my-own for the most common data structures. C barely does anything and it has a stark beauty of its own, agreed. And yet

by elteto 3y ago
You found one compiler bug after moving to a new version of your compiler/runtime. Not unheard of, to be honest. Now think of all the common bugs you _didn’t_ get in all these years because you wrote your code in Java instead of C.

Thanks for the USC reference, I read 5 counts but glossed over the fact that that was the indictment. And thanks for the piece on The Wire, that was a nice read.

Ironically, you are the first to bring this up. Looks like you jumped ahead to a made up conclusion to support some sort of victimized mindset.

I don’t see how using tooling prevents you from learning core principles. As in, what _core_ principle am I missing on because I don’t manually indent my braces? Note that this conversation is about _style_. The zeitgeist re style is very m

Ironic, that same item you mention has 2 reviews (out of 3) complaining about worn out fabric within months. And almost $5k.

My problem is that I don’t even know where to buy _good_ stuff. I don’t want to pay $5k for a couch, but maybe I will _once_ in N years, for some large N, if I know it’s very well made and I like the design. But I have no idea where to go f

If it’s a wire mesh you should leave that there as it is a strainer, to prevent debris from the pipe to get into the shower head. Sometimes the restrictor looks like flat plastic cap with holes added. Most of the time it’s an o-ring and the

Without any intention to sound cute: look inside it, remove o-ring. It really is that simple.
