I suppose the key reason is ABI is not defined by the language standard? Nor is it is something (AFAIK) that would be standardized on Windows. This is not the same thing as binary compatibility on windows but rather about the internals of v

I believe that is referring a different technique called resistance breathing, where the intent is to cause your diaphragm to do a bit of extra work. Boxed breathing is just about the rhythm and can be done through the nose. I've tried

Have you tried box breathing? It works really well for me. I have no idea though how such a simple technique could be proved to be placebo or not proved to be one.

I suppose it boils down to how serious is the mistake of the CEO from the point of view of society, Facebook owners and other stakeholders. I could imagine Facebook doing things that would indeed merit the sacking of CEO. For instance, doin

So each time someone makes a mistake there should be a material consequence to the person? Would this not create an atmosphere of fear and drive society towards a fixed mindset where everyone would in case of mistake try to hide their mis

My english is non-native but I would expect when someone says "I take accountability and responsibility" to means exactly that and I have a hard time figuring out what else it could mean. The OP sounds like they would expect the p

I agree that triggerhappy moderation is not something I would agree with. However, in this case I kind of understand the moderators response. You might consider yourself a "critical thinker" but these examples of opinion are comin

C11 resources are just fine to start with. That will bring you to "modern C++". C++ is not about bleeding edge. Nor is it about being a good, modern language. It's key feature is to be able to tweak performance based on profi

Unless you need bare metal speed, or use some specific piece of code, never use C++. It is horrible, convoluted mess that will consume developer hours into pointless trivia that are not issues in anu other languages. So C++ has that as poin

I suppose it isn't, but the categorization is a bit different. For example, Drake takes a concept called "civilization" as given, wheres I stated it's plausible extraterrestrial life would take similar pathways as in ter

I think this in the category of things that would be plausible to estimate. AFAIK there has never been a Manhattan Project level investment in abiogenesis. Of course there are quite a few steps from suitable RNA synthesis mechanism emerging

I totally agree with you. My intent was not to promote pseudoscience but just to try sketch out why I don't intuitively feel the question would be totally beyond the scope of rational discourse.

I suppose if we take the philosophical position of Bayesian statistics, where even one sample is sufficient basis for estimating results from some sane priori model, I would say this topic is within reach of some sane postulation. Some fact

That's a very good video, thanks for sharing. I think it does a great job of highlighting why meat crew on a single vessel is perhaps a difficult proposition. I think we need anyway a colonizing swarm, not a single ship. I know this go

I think this is a becoming repeating pattern in creative industries where a machine learning model is taught from a corpus on existing, copyrightable and attributable work - it creates content that plagiarizes and infringes on the rights of

On hard constraints: You can have kids at 40 if your partner agrees. If your partner does not agree you need to figure out which one is more important to you, kids or your current relationship. That said, are you sure you are otherwise ok?

This may be an acceptable approach if the code is not produced in a professional context and not of professional quality. One of the keystones of open source is professionals have had an ecosystem where they can deliver value to an open for

My perception may be skewed by my infrequent use, but strangely math and physics stackoverflows have much less empty posturizing and generally have high quality answers that are thoughtful and helpful. Most matters of "opinon" are

Complex engineering seems to need complex economy and stable institutions to sustain knowledge transfer. You just need to loose one generation and suddenly a ton of skill and knowledge is lost.

It's interesting that while South-American pre-colombian construction projects are familiar to many (such as Aztec cities and Nazca Lines, etc), it is perhaps not as well known that North-American pre-columbian populations had massive

What a nice read again - haven't had these in a while. I wonder what Mr. Yegge's position on the best language is nowadays.

”going for a run when … you feel sick and tired borders on dangerous advice. It is dangerous AND stupid. If you feel sick - rest. Otherwise you risk every potentially lethal ailment every sensible exercise counsel warns against.

Perhaps a depression drug that does not induce a psychedelic experience is psychiatrically safer than one that would? One would need some background in psychiatry and/or pharmacology to answer this I think. I'm guessing such talen

Good looking people have always an edge. Tall people always appear more competent than their shorter colleagues. These are biases. They can be overriden by the experiences of people in a community quite easily, but towards unfamiliar people

Generally - yes. But in this case, if you happen to be the CTO of Azure I imagine funds would be available to implement the missing components in Rust ecosystem for projects you lobby to be critical.
