In chrome: Right click on the body, "inspect element" to open the debugger thingy, and see the terrible font as "font family" in the bottom right. Uncheck the box next to "font-family". There, now it's rea

"commit confirmed" from Juniper routers is much better

Standard practice on Cisco routers, where I've worked, is to do "reload 5" before doing dangerous things. On juniper, it's "commit confirmed".

Well, it's like showing your plan for painting a room, and asking "I seem to get stuck here after painting all but the corner, how do I get out of the corner?". The answer actually is "don't leave the corner for las

> OTOH, 12 divides evenly by both 4 and 3, which are common divisions. Interestingly, I don't hear pro-US-unit people apply this to money. The UK used to use money not based on 10, but changed during the 1900s. So it's not with

I think I see what you mean, but "hire stupid and incompetent people" seems like a hard sell. And I don't think it'll pay off.

They were brought in as a panic reaction to "omg, we need to show we're not racist!", but it didn't take long to realize that they are the most resource diverting (into waste), agitating, and destroyers of psychological

> This is called non-blocking IO No, that's not quite right. It happened not to block this time, but the write was not "non-blocking". It could have blocked.

This is so extremely well put that I want to reply just to highlight it. What you said was the optimist view, that there's a world of possibilities. It's just that at the moment we just have the two I mentioned. Maybe there's

Indeed. That's what I meant by my example of indirect benefit. Simulating physical systems better, faster, and more completely, can have many practical applications. But unless you're already today trying to simulate physical syst

To your second point: Ian Lance Taylor explicitly says that Go has undefined behavior, which as you say is not just "don't know what it is". He (as he shows in this thread too) is, like me, very much aware of what UB is. He&#

Possibly. This is way beyond my knowledge. But I'm not aware of many other "search this finite part of the number line for this property", where "this finite part" is still too big for classical computers. It almost

If you can control your experiment perfectly, then you don't need the simulation. Now break the wooden stick in half while on the moon. In space. At absolute zero. While under acceleration. While spinning. While bombarding it with 10^1

My understanding is that quantum computers only have two real use cases, as of today: 1. Breaking crypto. 2. Simulating other quantum systems. For (1) it's basically all downsides. For (2) unless you're a particle phycisist you&

These US cities can and should be made walkable again. I say again, because they used to be. Even Houston didn't used to be such a car-focused hellhole.

All the SVPs and VPs are remote. Presumably these leaders are showing the way of the future? (ok, so not "all", but there's a lot of "rule for thee but not for me")

I have the same with C code. Yet I'm not going to recommend anyone starts a new project in C, outside of very specific use cases like some embedded thing. And even then I'd say a C++ subset.

I've seen those three character prefixes in real code. It's not unjustified criticism at all. Luckily I've not needed to work with perl for ~15 years, but it was something like \$@, maybe. > but you can write messy code wi

She's 70, so she'll be able to retire and never have to face the fact that she's an Adam Neumann-sized net loss to the world.

I don't think that's what "self" destructs means. You can't self destruct something else. You can only self destruct yourself.
