Only half of all people being status-driven in their average purchases of visible accessories seems like a very low Bayesian prior to me in general. I think actually the meme is wrong because most people spending money on an Android phone i

It doesn't seem surprising that companies whose bottom line is from the hardware sale moment would define it that way, and people who aren't (for example, people selling apps, people running websites, people looking around at what

The words in brackets are doing all of the heavy lifting in your example though: "Of" without "out of" means "constituted by". If in isolation I saw "array_of_string" I'd definitely parse that as

The topic here isn't so much the order but whether "of" in int_of_string matches a common/typical usage of the word. From the other comments sounds like its local style for OCaml maybe because of some French lineage, but

I think the Xbox reference from op was just about the naming scheme of appending an X; it's all "Xbox one x", Xbox series x" etc. Not in terms of the software itself being a natural predecessor of Xbox.

I think devtools can lie in the sense that it can be slower when devtools is open in some circumstances.

Zig has more things for C interop than you're suggesting though, namely the extern keyword, calling convention, etc. Like ts/js, zig/c seems first class designed be used together in one codebase, compared to eg Rust where is

If it is able to break crypto then surely that means it can do other "interesting" mathematical calculations that are currently extremely slow/hard though?

What's wrong with the name nimrod? The name is biblical but not overtly religious in this context, and the bugs bunny association (of a hunter who is a fool) doesn't seem like it should really offend anyone. Like if he wanted to n

This is strongly regional, some do but most restaurants in more urban-ish US areas don't close between lunch and dinner in my experience. Had some culture shock in Europe when there's zero prepared food available for purchase in a

Haven't flown in a few years but I flew a ton 2017-2020 and airlines could never scan the barcode on an eTicket if I forgot to turn the brightness up all the way. I'm guessing it is more because of glare than contrast though if th

Sure, but opt-in nominal types that you describe is still something of a foot-gun that you have to be wary of since its easy to accidentally pass something that conforms to the structural type but violates whatever expectation. Like here&#x

by esrauch 3y ago
Those don't change that the type system is structural; the type system is actually not fully safe if you use the things you mention, eg: class Dog { woof(){} } class Cat { meow(){} } function f(a: Dog|Cat) { if (a instanceo

I think there's some limit to that; Nintendo could sell the new Zelda for $250 on Steam and get some takers, but it won't make them more money just make them look greedy.

Why would they possibly lie about that?

I don't share OPs view but I think it can make sense in a "murder is wrong, but murdering murderers isn't wrong" kind of sense.

This is actually a Noam Chomsky linguistics question: how much of language is innate/genetic and how much is learned. The common perception has been that children aren't exposed to enough data to arrive at their grammatical langua

You can analyze unlimited games for free on Lichess (both locally in browser and also serverside analysis that I think is donated server time). It lets you play against stockfish bits but they don't have "personalities" like
