What is the other meaning of "Root your docker host" which is disambiguated by adding "for fun and profit"?

Stationery means more than just paper. I don't think there are any good synonyms for stationery, it's the only word with that exact meaning. Same problem when someone wants to substitute "login" for "authenticate&qu

Why do you have 40 Sparcstation 5s? Very curious.

I am curious which part of their comment makes it sound bad. It seems neutral to positive to me.

No, I'm talking about being completely unable to immigrate because they can't find an employer to sponsor them. I'm talking about failing the H1B lottery for years and having to leave. I'm not talking about filing paperw

But immigrating to the US is difficult even if you're from a rich country like one in the EU.

I find this whole thing very confusing because I never thought the voices sounded identical or very similar. I was initially even more confused about this whole thing because I thought I couldn't find clips of the SJ AI voice only to r

Really? I would value my life much more than that. I think how the question is phrased really matters. How much do you value your life? Or how much would someone have to pay you to kill yourself? Are these even different questions?

Ha, same. I very very rarely write code in unsafe contexts which is why, I guess.

Yeah, absolutely. My point is that Option itself doesn't give you this API and to make an unsafe version, you have to explicitly write it. Including UB in easy to misuse places is totally unnecessary and a footgun which really does cau

by kaashif 2y ago
You aren't mistaken. I should've written "runtime overhead" - my point is that there is no runtime performance penalty for getting rid of the UB in the Option API. An equivalent API with no UB is just strictly better.

by kaashif 2y ago
The point is that Option in Rust doesn't have undefined behavior in any case, even if the values aren't known at compile time. Exhaustiveness is always checked at compile time, unlike C++ where operator* offers an escape hatch whe

by kaashif 2y ago
The people criticizing std::optional are doing a very poor job. Here's the big issue: unchecked access to std::optional with operator* has undefined behavior when there's no value. This is unforgivably bad design since you can enf

I think a lot of people are anti rebase in general, but doing that on your own is fine IMO. I have a different issue. The issue with is with rebasing multiple commits onto master instead of merging - the intermediate commits were never code

I've been using git for ~15 years and I've also never looked at it visually, except by accident. And yes, this does include working on big repos with lots of other people. Maybe we're the weird ones.

I am imagining an astronaut digging with a shovel and 2.5 inches below the surface are just dinosaur skeletons and stuff. Or something even more fantastical.

No, the money for the dividend comes from Google's profits. Google is a very profitable company.

Cut salaries 90% and quality will drop. It's a false economy however you slice it or wherever the replacements are based. It never works.

Classic comment and perfectly captures the vibe. I don't understand why people don't understand why making users do this weird shit (and yes, mailto: is weird although not as weird as SVN/CVS vs Dropbox) isn't going to w

Not true. The differences don't have to be that large. If one person consistently runs 0.1s faster than everyone else, they can win 100x the races of the next best person without being 100x better. Nobel prizes, like running races, are

Yes, but in the US, the waiter taking the card out of your view, doing something with it, then bringing it back is the norm. I'd never seen a restaurant do that in the UK. I think it's a relic of the times before handheld payment

This particular question cannot be answered definitively because any answer is subject to the same question - why does that thing exist rather than nothing?

Faith can stop you asking the question of why God exists rather than nothing, but it can't actually answer that question.
