1) and 2) are definitely concrete things we can act on but 3) is a battle you will lose. The only reason that SSNs remain convenient is because there is no viable alternative when your authorization hits government or financial institutions

Or you can work with people constructively and respect them rather than viewing this as a "conflict" where one needs to assert themselves.

The market rate for 400 MHz is $80 billion. There's only one industry with enough demand and revenue to justify that purchase price, which is mobile. 2.4GHz may be crowded, but it's nowhere near as bad as mobile where the demand f

My personal view is that syntactic debate over imports (including whether it's in an import/require/url/package.json/whatever) are basically meaningless except for surface level debate. How "nice" it is to

Enterprise sales requires paying salespeople for their network of potential customers and time to reach them. The sales cycle is long and risky for companies that can't absorb the cost of the sales salary and time to get revenue. Unles

That's why you dual license, which is significantly more approachable. "This is AGPL/GPL unless you pay $200/month per developer seat" is a common licensing scheme for frameworks, people aren't scared by it.

Methods for arrays were capped at 32. So for example #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug)] struct S { a: [i32; 33], } Would not compile, since Copy, Clone, and Debug were not implemented for arrays larger than 32.

And this feature is in PopOS 20.04 which iirc is a GNOME desktop, so someone did care enough about this and created a polished desktop environment with it.

Not at all? This is FOSS. If this was a critical issue that blocked people from using the software, or aggravated a developer enough, then someone would go fix it or be paid to fix it. Developers don't have an obligation to implement e

Text rendering still looks awful, and it's only getting worse with newer displays at higher resolutions that use scaling.

Clearly this isn't an issue that people care about enough to do anything about, otherwise someone would have gone and implemented it.

10 years ago pedophilia was prominent on the site, alongside numerous hateful subreddits and questionable content. It was like 4chan with worse moderation due to scale. Porn barely cracks /r/all anymore.

Napkin math, could be wrong: At 18kHz per channel and 70dB S/N the Shannon-Hartley theorem suggests the maximum channel capacity of a vinyl record is around 50k bits per second. Note that SH is an ideal metric So if your LP has 23 minu

That's a frankly insane way to write parallel programs. Parallel evaluation is about maximum utilization of system resources balanced against the inherent overhead of synchronization/spawning/joining. It has nothing to do wit

False sharing isn't that hard to deal with. Soundness is much harder to deal with than performance, and lock/wait free programming isn't about raw speed - it's about prioritizing latency over throughput, or providing lat

The variety of what is "supported" is also why it's taken years for USB-C to see any modicum of use outside mobile phone chargers that required the higher power and data rates. It's still not commonplace. And it's s

Lolita isn't erotica, which puts this in a different context. This is like comparing BDSM pornography to rape scenes in film. The latter is going to have a different audience and intent and might be more controversial to ratings agenci

Not really, iteration requires the existence of interfaces, requiring two methods (or one, if optionals are supported). Iterator semantics are orthogonal to memory management. The transformation into a while loop is a handful of lines of co

I think it's more apt to say that Python isn't fast, but it has FFI that can be used to interface with things that are fast. The same is true of JS though, and most interpreted languages that have an escape hatch for FFI. The diff

The places with higher supply of housing or land and lower demand. To be less snarky, about 80% of Americans live in urban or suburban areas. Those tend to be more expensive due to the higher demand. The other 20% live in rural or exurban a
