For what it's worth, I've found reddit and H distinctly different in the down voting behavior. Reddit will down vote on disagree (depending on subreddit) no matter how the info or opinion is presented, but in my experience where i

What can be good, but requires discipline, is to replace some of the syntax that's no longer needed with a comment to help explain the what and why and goal. You reduce or eliminate the line savings, but overall may increase the inform

I think the conclusion is not just from the papers, but from what appears to be widespread support regardless of criticism. The sampling is not one or two papers in that respect, it's multiple well known historians and at least one wel

I don't doubt that can happen, but I'm also highly doubtful that it's the norm for large, established, mature projects with lots of attention, such as popular libraries and the standard library of popular languages. As time

I wouldn't say they are insignificant, just that as a pure informational discipline the cost to actually implementing the discovery (in this case, spreading the information) is close to zero (and much less than even the spreading of so

Yep, and the next logical question when both implementations are for the most part bare metal (compiled and low-level), is why is there a large difference? Is it a matter of implementation/algorithm, inefficiency, or a bug somewhere?

It's code. There is not necessarily a single solution that makes sense. The thing you're calling could throw an exception, or it could return a failure value. If it fails, you may want to set off some extra routine that retries

I think the answer to that is the same as the answer to "how do I send an email in Deno?", since this lets you run arbitrary code. System level cron needs that feature built in because you're just telling it a command to run,

Because for any nontrivial case you would expect python+compiled library and associated marshaling of data to be slower than that library in its native implementation without any inyerop/marshaling required. When you see an interpreted

The gist of what I'm reading here and in other comments is that you either have a full build pipeline and rebuild nightly or on demand, and then roll out container updates too, along with OS updates that are needed? If so, that seems l

The thing I'm always interested in finding out is how people using lots of containers deal with security updates. Do they go into every image and run the updates for the base image it's based on? Does that just mean you're no

Some people play lip service to superstitions like this as a form of fun or a way to communicate feelings on a topic, and not necessarily because they believe the superstitions. For example, if I followed up a statement with "knock on
