Unfortunately most of the arguments against wearing masks are petty and bullshit given that the inconvenience of wearing one is insignificant for most people. Sure, if you have genuine health concerns wearing one then don’t. But most of the

That doesn’t stop many western CEOs from being corrupt. From what I’ve experienced, the lack of corruption in Singapore is partly cultural and partly due to their heavy penalties for crime.

Ahhh that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Are you sure about that? I thought yellow letters were matches but in the wrong placement. Which is what’s happening in your screenshot

The two key take always here are: * lots of clients (their needs might differ considerably from each other. So it’s not unreasonable to assume an FTE per client or two) * is there a dedicated design, et al team or are you, the developer, ex

I stand corrected. Thanks for that detailed test too. I learned a lot from it

A RCE in Windows software running on WINE wouldn’t have much benefit on Linux unless the attacker specifically knew said software was running in WINE. 1. WINE et al run in a sandboxed environment. You cannot execute other Linux software wit

I’m aware of Rusts support for Unicode, I was only using that as an example because it’s easy to visualise since most people who’ve written any kind of text parsing will understand the additional computational overhead correctly supporting
309.
by laumars 5y ago
That’s only correct if you focus exclusively on optional features enabled by feature flags or environmental variables. Some features might be around support for things like Unicode where a tool could work 90% of the time but that extra 10%

by laumars 5y ago
They do say no though. Frequently too. The problem with Unicode is simply that it’s trying to solve a very hard problem.

Ironically the same county that doesn’t see an issue with guns and graphic violence. I’ll never understand how a nipple is more offensive than shooting someone.

That’s oxymoronic. It clearly looked good when it was state of the art, it is only when compared to more modern technologies that CRTs look bad. But even by modern standards, CRTs are widely considered better looking for games. Not just ret

Backend web dev has been cited as one of the key reasons Google wanted to create Go.

Why is that a surprise? I still have my old childhood 15” CRT and in fact still regularly use it to play old games consoles. The picture looks as good as the day I bought it so why would I throw it away?

It’s never been a better time to be a developer with regards to choice of employment and pay so boohoo for your entitled first world problems. Go cry me a river.

I know how much memory the Pis support, I’ve owned every RPi since the very first one. Model As are lower specs than their B counterparts (eg the 3 B+ has 1GB of RAM) but that’s all moot because you and your siblings are still missing one i

Raspberry Pis are neither embedded systems nor slow devices (compared to embedded systems).

It is basically just a normal computer and I feel you’re optimising the wrong thing here too given we’ve already established the OP was wrong when they threw around what they believed to be the applications file sizes.
319.
by laumars 5y ago
If that’s an issue just cache the file in RAM. 500MB is still less than the system memory on a Pi (and as I’ve pointed elsewhere, the OP was reading the partition table not the application file sizes).

Congratulations on being the exception that demonstrates why I said “most people”. The great thing about our current era is that you have more choices in languages and compilers than you have hours in your life to learn them all. So you can

by laumars 5y ago
The only place on the readme where I could find those figures you came up with was the partition table and obviously a partition of 500MB doesn’t mean the applications are going to be 500MB in size. In fact it’s quite the opposite; it prett

You’re conflating “easy to learn” with “easy to program for” sigh . And that wasn’t even the point of the post so you got that part wrong too. In fact did you even bother to read the thread before jumping in with that post? The point wasn’

Your example here is a little on the absurd side don’t you think? While the lack of generics in a language can be annoying for some people it’s not a showstopper for most use cases. Whereas removing conditionals would make it a non-starter

This isn’t a particularly high quality article. First example should just be fmt.Println("Go", "is great!") Also the author either misunderstands what bash is or is dumbing the jargon down so much that they’re m

I understand the point you’re trying to make but writing music is a creative process whereas marketing programming languages isn’t. I was around at the time and C++ was trendy so Sun were marketing it as the future for C++ developers. It wa

Maybe because Java is more of a direct descendant of C++ than pure C (though obviously C++ is an iteration of C). Or maybe they omitted it before there are literally hundreds of languages that were inspired from C and listing them all would

I don’t think the issue is that people don’t want to pay I think the issue is that people are expected to pay meanwhile those running the companies earn a disproportionate wage. Other counties manage to have services that don’t depend on ti

Cinematically it’s gorgeous and I can’t really fault the casting either. But the romance elements they’ve a added are distracting and unnecessary.
