Netflix fits FAANG better when talking about compensation, where they are disproportionally competitive.

That sounds awesome but none of those happen for me.

Wikipedia has an apropos image of the brightened Magellanic Clouds to the bottom of that page, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Magellanic_Cloud#/media/...

Are the same people who fear corporate censorship actually disjoint from the ones who trust in unfettered markets to choose winners? It seems to me they must be, but are there people in fact straddling this chasm?

That new dialect of C exists, and it's called C++!

I was trying to figure out if this was satire. C++ gives you strictly more tools, particularly for guaranteeing reliability, and they're all optional. What particularly laughable here is the split ctor/init pattern is allegedly dr

With our drive towards auto-formatting, we are losing degrees of expressivity of formatting. Bad code looks better, but good code can't look quite as clear as it used to.

There's a bunch of intractable latency, but there are patterns that can help maintain pipelining, if you don't need the data immediately: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebGL_A

You don't really need hoarders to have a problem. If only twice as many households are cooking now than before, instead of stores having say 10% slack, they run out half way through the week. If you have four times as many people cooki

With a true safety net a 20% contraction doesn't cause loss of life. Choosing to let this push people out on the street or into otherwise dire straits is a government's choice, not an inevitability. If companies fold and people ca

That's not always necessary, and it's a good way to get dragged down into quibbling. The GP rings true to me, even though I'm not sure precisely which of the PG essays they most had in mind.

This feels super-plausible to me, and it's something they would never, ever admit.

It's a false positive when the test comes back positive, but it was wrong. "Test falsely reported positive"

So is this thesis "don't worry about doing good, because effects can be unpredictable"? It is indeed freeing to ignore externalities.

I'm not sure why you think they don't negotiate with other search providers.

Great shops with great baristas can still outdo my AeroPress with their pour-over, but not many.

I've been using metal filters many times a day for years to no ill effect.

I think that depends more on the beans. Good light roast beans don't need to worry so much about masking bitterness. If modern craft light roast is not your preference, you will need to care more about bitterness. (NB: Not all coffee l

Also hamstrung Feds must negotiate contracts with both hands tied behind their backs , hence the inability of the government to send the already-approved designs and schematics along to another company for manufacture.

It's tricky but I think visit is being passed a generic (templated) lambda, which is statically instantiated for each type that a node might be. (Once for int, once for string, etc) Since the type is static per template instantiation,

In no-exception builds, exceptions become crashes. RTTI is barely used anywhere in the STL. As an example, Firefox uses STL without RTTI or exceptions.

Because that's what bug reports are helpful for: organizing and collecting data, which helps with the whole "finding a repro case" and eventually fixing this issue. Did you think bugs got fixed by mentioning "me too&quot
