I asked about this in their chat 2 years ago, and the CEO responded directly. His response I believe was that you are allowed to use Timescale on managed servers, but you're not supposed to become a Timescale hoster for others.

The worry I have with code like that is that instead of letting the program crash it often just swallows exceptions. This can lead to a lot of silent errors that one becomes aware of way too late, for example after a lot of data has been co

I don't think the use of structs to implement vtables in C is abuse, but in this case it's rather pointless. This idiom is used to have dynamic dispatch (e.g. a plugin system), an abstraction (e.g. same interface for file I/O

That’s not a parser though. For example the caller would still need to convert escaped unicode characters, floats and bool. I guess it’s an incomplete tokenizer?

The OP knows how to do this but finds it unintuitive and inconvenient. You didn’t read their comment correctly and became verbally abusive.

It’s not litter that causes the rat issue in NYC, it is the huge masses of household and business garbage.

I only have an X account so I can read tweets that are mentioned on the news or in blog posts. If I ever look at my timeline I see a bunch of AI generated thirst traps.

I see this a lot in Japan for language exchange parties. Foreigners pay the least, then Japanese women, then Japanese men.

I don’t think that was ever true. A Stammtisch is not primarily about drinking, with something more refined on the side as an excuse. But I can imagine raging alcoholics like to believe that.

As a German I was really surprised that this isn’t something that’s done everywhere. Personally I’ve been running a Stammtisch for Japanese for 15 years now, and taken part in 2 others for over 10. It’s really not complicated. You ask the b

2 questions I would look into before anything else: 1. Does this have to be sorted? 2. Why is it sorted alphabetically instead of naturally?

That’s to be expected since it is marketed towards beginner and casual programmers.

Since around Visual Studio 2015 you're fine. I personally use `_MSC_VER >= 1600`, so it's since Visual Studio 2010 from April 2010. Built-in types like __int32 from before then may be used as well.

A lot of people use i64 in the global namespace, so this will affect later code. It's basically `#define true false`. When I consider a library I will do a quick sniff test to look for very obvious mistakes, at which point I won't

It's just that the #if checks for the MSVC compiler, not for Windows as a platform. And on that compiler you will never have LP64, but LLP64: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#64-bit_data_m... I just

Not sure whether this is tested on Windows at all. I opened the header and immediately found this `typedef signed long i64`, i.e. i64 is actually i32.

I think shoehorning fp onto go just results in people having a wrong first impression of fp, damaging them for years or forever. fp is so much more than map, filter and reduce.

I don’t buy this fatalistic attitude at all. Japan has an abundance of food as well, and Japanese humans are also human. Yet I don’t see nearly the same level of obesity here. The difference is entirely cultural, and yet you argue that we p

What I’m afraid of is that this just ends in an arms race of ever unhealthier lifestyles versus medication to counter-balance that. These aren’t wonder drugs. People just need to stop eating garbage food, and too much of it. And the governm

I also work in that industry and am quite puzzled by the technological inferiority, scope creep and NIH syndrome of the OPC foundation’s standards. I wish they just used sparkplug b and implemented their specs on top of that for semantics.
