I recently invested on a YMDK 75% split keyboard. After many hours of research on switch type (because I don't like noise or high pressure on keys) and some modding to the height lower it turned out pretty good. Would recommend to anyo

I am literally 22 years old like the article says. I can still remember pretty well my life before I was always connected. My earlier life was quieter, calmer. I have fun memories of my old Nokia 5800 :) I am not sure I live modern technolo

I won't fully remember the details of these articles, but it has happened in the past that reading these has helped future me debug very big and complicated issues. I believe this comes from the fact that I am presented with a new _kin

Yes. The idea is to isolate the use of unsafe and prove that it is safe. Because compiler cannot prove that what you're doing is safe it is your responsibility to do so. Once you've _proven_ that your unsafe code is safe, then it

The people working on Facebook infra are true Software Architects. I can't certainly imagine the pressure of those involved in causing and fixing this issue.

The bubble has popped, but these graphs show that we are still at January-February levels of bubble. I am not sure if the market has fully collapsed (Unfortunately?).

Well, I wonder if this could force people to start publishing their code so others can replicate the results. This would help greatly with the kinds of issues that are being discussed: - It would be much harder to hide makeup results and ch

This change comes with auto imports, detection of non used imports, semantic highlighting, type checking, faster loading times and it is way snappier. This upgrade is awesome.

That's exactly what I was referring to. I think I have misunderstood the parent comment. I thought he was complaining about this being the default behavior when you don't enable access to your contacts.

I think that is a security feature. Otherwise, I can impersonate anyone with any name and contact image that I want. The way it is set up, you are the only one who has control over the displayed name (with fallback to the phone number). I a

My teacher in Software Engineering that "taught us" that UML is used everywhere in CS and business. Looking up their CV, they only had two years of experience outside academia, and that was 20 years ago.

Sure, but I upload my experiments to a Linux cluster and only use my machine for development. Windows IO performance is more important to me than compute.

At least for me, WSL1 had pretty good performance on the Windows file system. On WSL2 accessing the Windows file system is pretty slow. You can read about it here: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4197

I have developed a quite powerful tool building on top of Python type hints. In a way, I have almost started loving their flexibility as an API designer. I hope PEP 649 or a similar proposal is approved before 3.10.

I don't. I've tried it, it just doesn't "click in" for me. I love types and (i.e. I love Rust's type system), but not on Python.
