Are you just a mean person on general that you think bringing a problem to the attention of wait staff would cause them to become malicious? Be a nice human being and you won’t receive that treatment. If your McDonalds wait staff are genera

I would agree with you if it was just one time, this is multiple times. Also look up appeal to authority, everyone can be better, I respect Simon don’t get me wrong, but I don’t read names before I comment and you would probably do well to

If that same intern, when asked something, responded that they checked, gave you a link to a document they claim have the proof / answer but does in fact no and continued to do that they wouldn’t be an intern very long. But somehow thi

It’s commonly held wisdom that in the long run the market always goes up. There was a Buffet experiment relating to active management vs an ETF tracking the S&P for some amount of time (a decade?), the ETF won as far as I remember. You

Absolutely not true. You might lose headroom or have to live with higher latency but if your complaint is about actual empirical data like frequency response or phase, that can be corrected digitally.

Not entirely related but humans have the same problem. For scriptwriting when doing voice overs we always explicitly write out everything. So instead of 1 000 000 we would write one million or a million. This is a trivial example but if the

I’ve been thinking about this myself and really UI development is mostly about design up front, many times with a well built design system UI changes can be trivial. But as you alluded to, data binding can be difficult. For some things, and

Very likely something along those lines. Effectively standardise passing operations off to a coprocessor. C++ is moving into that direction with stdexec and the linear algebra library and SIMD. I don’t see why Rust wouldn’t also do that. Ef
