I’ve seen retired Brits live in southern Spain and Portugal for 20+ years calling themselves expats and not making any effort to integrate, even though they have all the intent of staying there and not returning to England. So expat/im

Many cases I knew, people would have several repeaters and extra routers to extend coverage in big houses, and not set it up correctly in PA/Bridge mode, so peripheral network devices would be locked behind in a separate NAT’ed subnet.

`var` in Java is local for a reason. In most contexts I can think of the variable either was created above or was passed in as a parameter/object field. Unless you set it from a weirdly named creation pattern/function. Regarding r

The Berlin S-Bahn Ring is a looping railway around the city center. It excludes some higher density areas in the north of the city and includes some less populated areas in the south of the city, but being inside the ring is the most accept

It’s okay if you don’t want to change your frontend for a foreign country, you just can’t do B2C business with a market of half a billion people :)

It is the exact same situation, though. Most people can just chain a sort and a binary search to do it, and both are included in most languages. Or just put it into a tree map, if your language has it.

Disingenuous. Contraception and abortions freed women from being locked into patriarchal family structures (see the thousands of years of history where women were passed from father, to brother, to husband with no choice in the matter).

Are you even manually implementing sorts frequently? Even languages that are notorious for having tiny libraries, like C and JS, have built-in sorts.

I love that this website is just Wordpress with the default 2020 theme. Even I did more CSS tweaking when I was building out a business site for my father.

Yes, but that’s just because most people have stronger legs than backs so it’s easier for them to jump up to the bar that to pull themselves up.

Democrats are beholden to the same powers that republicans are, so they play the rotating villain. There’s always a “moderate democrat” that plays with republicans to water down any significant law. These representatives need to be so scare

Waiters and pollers are artifacts from the fact that Futures in Rust are lazily scheduled, unlike Javascript, for example, where Promises are eagerly scheduled and executed. When you don't want to block your process and program in a re

On elevators you don’t see “R/C” unless the elevator is very old, and the same for office building directories or shopping centres. In almost all cases it’s the number zero. OTOH, in countries like Germany you will see the “E” for Erdg

English is my second language, and the comma separating that particle from the rest of the sentence makes it pretty explicit even for me that it is talking about the platform , at the same semantic level as “powerful”, “extensive” and “to

That is a description of the commonly agreed upon definition of the C abstract machine and language semantics. You could simply define the language another way with regards to this behaviour. Not that I would want to do it, I think zero-bas

For most cases you could get away with some index transformation logic in the compiler (but probably your language would need special types for indices, so I do agree with you that it is not worth the trouble).

Well, you may still end up needing a faster vehicle, and perhaps a BEV is indeed better for you. The fun thing is: most people live or are projected to live in cities, so this is still applicable to them. Different people may use different

I wonder why velocipede users end up on the sidewalks. Could it be because they do not feel safe on the road, where they should be? Or that bike lanes have no separation from the road and often have larger vehicles parked there? In general,

The short term will obviously be problematic for those people. However, in the mid term they can move some of those service activities to residential areas instead of business districts (provided that zoning regulations become less senseles

Copy types must be trivially copiable bitwise (the clone implementation is returning the deref of the cloned type), so a copy is a move except for the fact that the previous reference is not invalidated. The docs for the trait (core::marker
