Standard PSA: Do note that storing future times only in UTC can lose important information for almost everybody at some point. When a country changes its daylight savings time dates (as happens regularly and has happened before for the US)

Are you? Closures were not mentioned and are an implementation detail. In any case, an object and a bundle of closures being equivalent still has nothing to do with OP's talk of method calls being "easier to read and work[ing] bet

They really need to start the y axis at 0 in those graphs - it's somewhat misleading how low some of the latency bars appear.

It is clear that that poster does not understand what currying is, as defined in the first line of the article and easily found online; also, downthread [1], nor do you. Currying is when you turn a function of multiple parameters into neste

That's what it claims to do in many apps, yes. I still end up pasting into notepad and copying from there to get real paste-without-formatting.

The first graph is incredibly misleading. The text talks about fetching from 5 servers and needing 4 results vs fetching from 1 server and needing 1 result. Then the graph compares 4-of-5 to 4-of-4 latency, which is just meaningless. It sho

I've now tested C#, directly, and got the same result as the article. It also documents the behavior: > The ^ and $ language elements indicate the beginning and end of the input string. The end of the input string can be a trailing

If you write it to a text file by itself and then read it from that text file, each runtime can have a different definition of whether a newline at the end of the file is meaningful or not. Under POSIX, a newline should always be present at

To be very clear/direct, the HTTP pipelining you're referring to never fully worked and was always hit with problems with middleboxes, problems with servers, significant security vulnerabilities around request smuggling and more b

This article provides one of the best arguments against the idea that LLMs are only directly "repeating" data in their training set. No part of their training set would have contained that specific ascii art used in that way and d

So when something is generic, it means it is a type parameterized by other types. So the type map[string]int is indeed generic, but no language users could create their own type btree[X]Y, for example. Essentially, the go developers saw a n

Trying to summarise what they were likely saying: Not having generics makes code verbose because you end up copying and pasting your library code to make it handle different types. The complaint about maps being generic was that the Go team

It's odd and rude to declare someone incompetent from so little information. Especially when the same problem is widely reported by other developers.

HDMI currently supports up to 144Hz. Even HDMI 1.4 (2009) could reach 120Hz. However, compatibility is hit and miss in general. You may have had luck replacing one or more cables or adapters, but switching to displayport is likely to get th

The use of MathJax for simple layouts that would easily work as HTML makes things a lot less usable for screen readers, for link behaviour, and for find-in-page.

> Installs of apps that throw up all over the disk This seems like a norm for most operating systems. Linux mixes files from all sorts of apps all over the place, for example, and a `make install` might put files anywhere.

The article states that the change is due later. I know someone who received a BRP just days ago and was told that the electronic visa system isn't yet available. So the BRP has always been and remains mandatory for travel, until these

It does not claim it's a generic term. The whole page is about variable fonts as derived from "Apple's TrueType GX font variations"; one sentence taken out of context doesn't change that. If you search the internet

No, "variable font" is not some generic term, especially in context. It refers to a specific technology. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_font It has nothing at all to do with metafont, even if meta
