It's the same for many things. Java throws, const-correctness in C++, etc, etc. As some other comment said, it's like the Haskell IO monad and that's OK, because it lets you isolate and be aware of the implications of that co

Disclaimer: I work at a company who sells coding AI (among many other things). We use it internally and the technical debt is an enormous threat that IMO hasn't been properly gauged. It's very very useful to carpet bomb code with

Asking myself the same question, but IME Linux support for sleep states is (was?) generally horrible due to absolute lack of standard enforcement, and that's with laptops where it's a priority. I've only had one laptop (my mo

While having a sabnzbd+*arr setup isn't particularly difficult to a technical person, the general opacity of its underlying workings (NNTP? News articles, providers? Block accounts?) has kept lawyers outside of USENET for decades.

The issue here is interoperability. PNR identifier and last name is the only reasonable key to use when a single PNR is meant to be shared among the GDS, the IT provider, the traveler and companions, hotels, car rentals companies, travel ag

It's true for most machines (as in, energy conversion). The main exception would be heating, and even then, it's usually that the optimum performance is just really close to the top performance; e.g. imperfect combustion of more f

Same opinion. There are so many wrong things with how the data is used. For starters, the data is biased because the basal metabolic rate of someone who does sports is higher than someone who doesn't, and that's without taking int

Perhaps, but I've tried some rural landscapes without any sign and it came up with English signs as a hint for pointing England/Wales. Even photos with signs in Irish were pointing to England, it's half funny, half offensive.
