I mean... check out the issue tracker for any project, open source or commercial. It's just how it goes when things aren't a priority. Happens all the time.

This is not true. Stimulant medication can form part of the treatment, for some people. But it's not the only kind of medication, and not the only kind of therapy. Anyway, I suggest that anyone concerned seeks the advice of a doctor, n

Sadly psychiatric conditions like ADHD remain quite stigmatised. I assume keyle wouldn't speak so derisively of someone suggesting to speak to a medical professional about a list of physical symptoms.

This is such a case of lawyer brain. The OP wrote this as a learning exercise. With the goal of learning in mind, I would suggest that it's probably best for the OP to go and read as much code as they possibly can, no matter the licens

I would suggest dialling the condescension down a bit mate. There are many successful modern industrial languages out there that don't repeat the kinds of mistakes Go does. Kotlin is a strong example. So does the popularity of TypeScri

It really is remarkable that Go has repeated all these mistakes, even with the benefit of having all of our field's history to learn from. Loop variable scoping is not the only area where the designers of Go have failed to learn from p

For starters it relies on implicit zero values in the language. These are dangerous from a modelling perspective: if you have a 0 integer, or an empty string, you can't really be sure if that's a meaningful value or merely a defau

The counterpoint to this is that ext4 can't change dramatically enough to cause problems without breaking compatibility with older kernels or older filesystems.

84 Wh is enough to propel a human on a bicycle about 20 km in about one hour. From this perspective electric cars are ludicrously inefficient ways to get around. Maybe in the future we'll view car dependency as similarly wasteful to us

The thing that makes this tricky is that x86 is a variable length instruction set: you don't know where the preceding call instruction might begin, and you can't decode backwards. You can do it speculatively, but ambiguities are s
