From that line of argument, we should really get folks off Linux. And nginx.

Did you see the original post? Lots of code changes were required for Chrome. That’s not backwards compatible.

Google signed an agreement with the EU that said we wouldn’t. Bad things would happen if they did. As a Googler that has access to some Fitbit stuff, I have to sign a form every 30 days that indicates I understand this.

Raising interest rates makes the dollar more attractive relative to other currencies, because receiving more interest is better than receiving less.

There are already nice GUIs and plugins. It really is plug and play now.

You don’t have to know about exception safety, move semantics, meta-template higgery jiggery, or the 30 years of cruft that C++ has accumulated. Good riddance.

It would help startups too.

It is a classic instance of “unfunded mandate”.

The Cloudflare-like “we are not the executive branch” is so wrong-headed it is hard to know where to start. Imagine an effective executive branch that can handle all such enforcement. The size would be massive. You’re implicitly asking fo

They should just bite the bullet and require water cooling. I have a 2080ti in a custom loop and it is almost silent.

Nvidia has control to fix that though.

Exactly. A great number of women paid for college by stripping. This is one of those “…but on the Internet” stories.

There’s a huge spectrum between friction and 10% chance you’ll die a penniless beggar unable to see your children again. The court systems can still enforce waiting periods and explicit “friction” mechanisms without the insanity that is tod

Likewise. I didn’t even know it was a slow period.

I tried seriously for about an hour to play Factorio on the Steam Deck. It wasn’t enough. You need notes and specific study time. Steam controller configs can be way more information than you can fit in your brain.

The interesting thing about law is that the folks in charge of it are the least interested in streamlining it. The more byzantine and obscure the legal system is, the more attorneys, clerks, and judges it needs. It is a type of jobs syste

Right. It isn’t clear to me why a CRM needs an entire application builder inside.

I am interested in the engineering of such a conversion. The biggest issue has got to be plumbing.

This just reminds me how much a Hail Mary the appointment of Meyer was. There's an argument that nothing could have saved Yahoo. Essentially, by hiring a inside-SV PM-type, the board thought that Yahoo had a product and technology pr

What about if you’re calling an API? Is there compressed CRL support in libcurl or similar?

The hardest part about true charity is accepting that much of it will not be spent in a way that you deem to be correct. This applies just as much to individual giving as well as government welfare and NGOs. It is true that many charities

I had the misfortune of renting a Tesla right before a severe cold snap in Virginia. I was charging at 4 miles an hour at the public charging station. I’m not sure I would buy an EV in an area where it stays below freezing for weeks at a ti

I’m confused as to what folks think the alternative is. Winning is a zero-sum game. If they target something higher than 50%, there would have to be a reservoir of players willing to take less than 50%…

I’m not aware of any new information in the last 6 months about the matter. I guess better late than never.

If you think that’s a large time sink, try business development. Seriously marketing yourself takes s lot of time.

Exactly. The only fixed-pitch instruments in an orchestra are the piano and the percussion section. It was routine even in my high school brass section to pitch down the major 3rds.

Thumb-operated levers on trumpets are uncommon (though, IMHO ergonomically superior). More common are a ring in which you place your left ring finger. The ring is directly attached to a slide on the third valve, so you can flatten notes by

Yeah. Having runtime errors in a non-trivial Python code base is indicative of poor test coverage.

You underestimate the size of the opportunity. The mobile game market was $119 billion in 2021.
