Rust is lower-level, it is a replacement for C and C++. I'd love to work with Rust but there are only so much low-level projects where it makes sense - kernels, Web engines, things like HTTP servers. Go covers those cases where you wo

When people come to me with this kind of preoccupation I remember them Steve Jobs dropped out of college. Heck, my BIL dropped out of high school and makes twice as much as me as a commercial pilot. The most difficult way to suceed is tryin

Choosing an initial random number, then keep modulo-incrementing it by a generator (a number larger than, and relatively prime to, the stack size) wouldn't work as well?

I studied music from 10 to 12, I left this world for two reasons: one, I was pragmatic enough to see that it would not make money - best pupils were from rich families, as the article described. Second: the kind of craziness musicians displ

I don't like the language but the execution model is unbeatable. Not having to worry the whole server goes down if your code breaks or runs for too long, is nice. I'd like to know if there is some way to run JS code just like that

Let's not confuse a suburb with a smaller city. I live in a 500k hab city, that's the hard limit for me. But it is a fully functional city, not an island of houses; I don't have to drive 16km to buy groceries.

Marriage is expensive and divorce is even more expensive, especially for men. The antidote is to marry only in your money league, or higher. Women used to do that, for their own protection - now men must do the same, and obviously the matin

I sold my DSLR because I seldom used it, and mirrorless is the thing of the future. But they are currently too expensive, and you can't even find mirrorless for sale in some markets (e.g. Brazil). But a good camera is irreplaceble, I p

Probably not. Assembled a keyboard with a CircuitPython controller, used the bundled mini-USB daughterboard and soldered a short piece of micro-USB cable to connect the controller (to keep the controller side unpluggable). Frozen at random

Negative interest rates and cash-hoarding companies signal that there is not enough investment opportunities in the world anymore, so it became impossible to secure a retirement income through savings alone. That's it. The source of re

Sure, the changes went beyond one-way streets, that was one of the tools; but the final result was, you used to be able to go A to E almost straight, now you need to go A,B,C,D,E.

I have a first-hand experience: my town created a lot of "binaries", that is, converted pairs of streets into one-way avenues, in order to speed traffic. But now one needs to drive 4x longer to reach the same destination. Even if

In Brazil, the local mail charges R$ 15 (~US$ 4) to deliver international packages from "certain countries" i.e. China. The result is, ultra-cheap freight has almost disappeared, most sites like AliExpress now charge around US$ 4,

+1 on this, I live in an apartment without balconies and without external blinds, so one cannot survive without full AC in summer. At least the glass windows can be opened when it is not raining, some commercial buildings have fixed windows

Made and tried to use a sort of chorded keyboard out of a keypad. The idea breaks down when you need to emit some key combination like Command-Shift-[ (I am a Mac user).

Well we software developers have the right of a culture of our own, just like plane pilots like to talk endlessly about old war birds, and fly gliders. For me, Lisp is akin to a Concorde or a P-51, it is not the aircraft of choice today but

I am married and have a kid, both irrational decisions. The rational part was getting a vasectomy right after kid #1. Every irresponsible men I know have 3, 4 kids around, and are proud of it.
