I mean, some brands such as "Aha Sparkling Water" literally sell them as caffeinated seltzer instead of energy drinks. https://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/aha-sparkl...

Right, if people never commute to work, they'd never use cars. It's not like our entire country is built with the assumption that you'll need to use a car for going literally anywhere (unless you live in few select big cities

Claims like this are in general not well-founded. There is no objective way to determine the value of a thing outside of the economy. If there were, and if it were meaningful such that $ value converges to the "real value" economy

I checked both of those arguments and wasn't convinced. First link demonstrates an email by Poettering claiming checksums won't fix anything useful. Clearly he's talking about a specific usecase of checksums and not talking a

"Abomination" is not a good enough argument. Systemd is very useful, and in order for someone to convince me not to use it, I need to see a good argument against it. "It's too big, it's an abomination" don&#x27

Interesting post. In "Linear Algebra" section what do you mean by `a'`? Do you mean `inv(a)`? It seems like this was never explained in your own formalism.

The usual justification, within PL Design community is that, similar to Russell 's Paradox, it's said that the anomaly caused by the unsound logic does not come up in practical situations. For example, some (and definitely most if

I thought things are looking pretty positive by the end of 2021. Some of this is of course made worse by the Ukrainian War.

> For many apps thinking that you can have the right questions from the beginning is delusional. Strong disagree, I think you might be approaching this from a traditional angle where analytics questions are also questions of the system.

I personally found DynamoDB enjoyable but the trick is you need to understand DynamoDB gives you exactly no way to have analytics, so you have to have a separate and robust story for analytics e.g. we periodically dump our DynamoDB into a R

Depends on how you define regular really but Turkish alphabet also doesn't map 1-to-1 with IPA sounds we can transcribe Turkish language with. Of course, this very much depends on regional accent, but overall Turkish accents are pretty

Very misleading, English doesn't have diacritics but it has copious amounts of digraphs like ch, sh, tch, eu, oe, oo etc... All of which may represent a different sound (being a Germanic language, English has a huge variety of vowels).

I also have OCD in the form of obsessive thoughts and had a very similar experience. Brain just computes extremely random, irrelevant scenarios throughout the day putting tons of serious effort, and it's impossible to stop. Thanks to C

But this particular chain started as a discussion of how sum types are missed in every other language. Isn't that a very important observation? Every programming language is an experiment: it tests whether an well-defined, particular m

I'm absolutely baffled by this attitude in literally every single programming language thread in HN. PLT and PL Design don't live in vacuum, it's a vast field that has been developing exponentially in the last years (just lik

I personally find SF Bay Area weather terrible, terrible. SF has the same weather year round and it is as follows: * Uncomfortably warm during the day * Uncomfortably cold during the night * A lot of unpredictable and long-running showers,

EB doesn't lead to Green Card as far as I know. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. That'd mean you'll need to be on EB permanently, which is not unlike being on H for 20+ years.

It's tedious to write from scratch until it's complete. In my experience, it's more tedious to maintain a parser generator than a recursive descent parser. The reason is, if you write a recursive descent parser the right way,
