I knew the C++ strings were optimized so. I do not like calling them "German". First time I see them called so (I know it, you can search yourself, as SSO -short string opt.), and looks as some kind of nationalist pride thing to m

It does not have to be so, and in some companies is not so, notably the ones which thrive and meritocracy rules. Is a big fallacy to think all is politics, IMHO. Between the most junior developer and the CTO, and all in between, is about ta

I tested both. None worked. It is a little bit like “it’s not what you know, is what you can prove”: I mean: “it’s not what you do, is what the boss of your boss sees”. And I emphasize “boss of your boss” because him is who you have to im

> Start managing people at the same level on your team, on your own initiative Anecdotically, a coworken in my group started, on his own initiative, to “play manager” in out team, because he wanted to “help us all”. Of course he just wan

Same. If anything it only welded me in my position, because I was just very valuable doing what I was doing. Absolutely crap advice, IMHO.

Reminds me when Facebook added “privacy” controls, that were virtually impossible to find, difficult to understand, and confusing to give a false sense of security.

Ideally (in the broad sense, meaning not realistic) is to not enter any “ecosystem”. But yeah… easier said than done.

I was never controlled in any way that may remotely violate my privacy. In fact, glad that nothing ever happened to me, because it could have. But for a long time I was not worried about my online visibility… I do not agree at all with this

I frankly would prefer just not gaming at all, than being ashamed in front of all my friends. Also you have to consider the ramifications of such behavior if that gets public, I mean could possibly be the source of bullying and what not. As

The web experience, specially in the phone, reminds me of the 90, if not worst, because some of those cookies dialogs have “processing” time (just a 5 sec. Wait) I have counted 20 clicks until I get a clean view of actual content with all p

I don’t know them, because I do not like VSC and co. I just have a friend, and when I see his Emacs looks like sublime. Is some work to get it to look like that.

Faking a medical emergency emergency is both illegal and immoral. In Germany in particular, you could be charged for all the expenses. A friend of mine did not fake, was in real panic, but still was at the end of the ”nothing” and had to pa

That makes sense. Is all about content, not format.

by f1shy 10mo ago
Actually there are plenty of packages already which can near Emacs to VSC or Sublime in look and feel, and imho go circles around the 2 in functionality.

Oh you are right! I’m so dumb! Of course it is the camera. To have the camera have the same sensitivity, we need more green pixels! I had my neurons off. Thanks.

> The human eye is most sensitive to green light, This argument is very confusing: if is most sensitive, less intensity/area should be necessary, not more.

There are even identical twins that have different behaviors, characters and make different decisions.

If I have to bet, I will absolutely go for MS enshitifying it beyond reasonable usability, in one way or another, more soon than later. Making an editor is anice endeavor. But there are plenty of, which are extremely well developed, open so

I wanted to reply in this direction. Ultimately, literally everything and anything in SW is a sequence of numbers, that anybody could easily put in some kind of table form. I don’t know where the catch is, but that sentence can not be true

I’m not sure of anything. And that is irrelevant. Even if it is a coma, the license holds.

I have explained it already in other comments, but let me break it down for you again: The “liability”, “scrutiny”, “regulation” only generate “cover your ass” measures, bureaucracy, red tape, costs, and hardly any real measure to increase

AFAIK, this is a (dangerous and misleading) simplification. Punishment absolutely works as deterrent. Boy I know people that would absolutely forge the tax declaration, if it wasn't a terrible fine if they do! The key point is the prob

They should absolutely pay the money back. But why prison wages? Let they produce what they can, and pay back, with interest and all you want. I think it is more important that they are able to "undo" the damage, as to make they s

That is the problem with draconian law. Because it saturates to death penalty pretty fast, any crime escalates pretty quick.

It shocks me how much comments, here in HACKER news, are something like: "Why do you want the source code?! leave it alone! Don't touch it, is unsafe! Big Pharma companies know much better than you what they do!" REALLY?! REA

Why do you think a random person, who is VERY passionate about something, as to invest all the free hours in life to do something, is less skilled that one who just does it because is needed to survive? Sorry. I would be much more inclined

Why do people think constantly something made by some random company is automatically better than something made "DIY". I totally understand, that because of liability and some more availability of resources, you would expect a co
