Alternatively, a new King took power less than 48hrs into her government. The ascendancy of a new monarch is at least as memorable as the passing of, in this instance his, predecessor.

It’s completely different, that’s without a doubt. Whether or not a US President “answer[s] to the poeple” is debatable. W Bush taking the country to Iraq again, against a significant majority of the people comes to mind.

Isn’t android a fork of the Linux kernel wrapped in a whole lot of Java? It unquestionably dominates its market, smart phones and it’s-a-laptop-and-definitely-not-a-netbook kind of devices, but even as a Linux variant, it seems very much in

It’s POSIX conforming but nobody, no distribution, has ponied up the money or taken the time to do the conformance testing necessary to get branded as UNIX. Additionally, it sounds like this testing would have to happen with every new relea

There’s a lot here to digest - thank you for your response. Regarding solar, I’ve been looking into it and you’ve given me a bit to consider. I now have a better appreciation for your fantasy vs. reality statement. I checked your site, I d

I’d be curious to get a better understanding of the “solar energy reali[sm]” that you mentioned. It sounds like you’re suggesting that solar is less practical or efficient than we’ve been led to believe. I’ve got at least 3 neighbors by me

Why a pentester and not a QA team more broadly? QA won’t necessarily review the code (haven’t met a team that did), but they will typically hammer a system with test cases and scenarios that expose unusual behavior and uncover bugs. I’ve ha

It looks like they’re still active as of 20min ago [0]. Super handy account. Just scrolling through the pics gives you a much better sense for identifying them. I suspect I’ve seen one or two in my yard, but now I think I have a better idea

Be careful what you wish for. I recall when Visual Studio switched to from native to managed (VS 2005?) and it was brutal. It was sluggish, crashy, with weird WPF UI bits thrown in here and there to support some oddball feature. As for C,

I think you're right. Microsoft is doing /just enough/ to provide a "slack-like" experience that also happens to be very deeply integrated into the rest of their offerings. They can't go to wild or it'll p

I've had to use Teams daily for the past two jobs I've had. Over-engineered is not what comes to mind when describing the app. It's not a complicated app, the UI isn't overwhelming, and if anything it seems like it lacks

I haven't dialed back my coffee consumption, but I have dialed back the caffeine. I love the taste of coffee at least as much as I love the morning ritual. I tried tea and coffee alternatives, but they never took. I stopped entirely fo

I ran into something similar. 2019 15” MBP, i9, 16gb Video calls while using an external monitor (40” Dell), particularly when screen sharing, dramatically slow the machine down. Enough to render it unusable during the call and for a little

How does this compare to LunarVim? LunarVim seems to work pretty well, although I regularly get stuck after an update.

If your goal is to become a "better" coder, doubling down on understanding the fundamentals rather than the specifics of a given language seems like an approach to consider. That said, others here have recommended C instead or in

AVAX/SOL/DOT fix ETH/BC fixing environmental concerns; that's primarily referring to PoS and different variants, right? It's worth noting that while it fixes the environmental aspect, it seems to reduce claims made

A little goes a long way though - thankfully, given the price. Start with a couple saffron threads to see how you like it. Better yet, take a few, pinch them into a couple teaspoons of salt and start with that. Toss in a drop or two of vani

It’s a lisp, so it’s eminently hackable - you can do everything with it, and simultaneously nothing ;p I love lisps. Why choose slope over something like racket or maybe clojure(script)?

Arguably, only the ones that can really claim to be decentralized. PoS, in its different variations, seems to introduce more obvious centralization in one from or another. I’ve yet to hear a solid argument otherwise.

Wouldn’t you say that “understanding what your doing” applies a little more to C/C++ than many other languages/tools/etc? Both Microsoft[0] and Google[1] have established that ~70% of the defects they encounter in their flags

Rising interest rates are starting to slow the housing craziness, at least where I’m at. I was regularly seeing 20-27% over asking with limited to no inspections, new listings going in hours. Nuts. All-cash is basically the new norm. Two ye

Thank you. Your post does a much better job describing the potential than the link does. Something about the idea of “javascript containers” resonates with me, but Ryan’s post seems a little unfocused. Javascript the language will be arou
