The US right has begun to weaponize the US left's standard tactics. It would be amazingly good if indirect vote-buying was made illegal but it won't be as democrat donor groups are extremely dependent on strategies like givi

Apple should have incrementally improved Objective-C. It was pretty nice to work with. Sure there were some warts, but it was quick to compile and easy to grok. Swift is a huge ball of slow complexity. The decay in Apple software quality ha

You should blame the Australian border force officials for being the true morons not this young man. He went ahead and ordered plutonium from a US-based science website openly with his real name and residential address - he didn't hi

If you are using next.js, you are not really introducing a library/framework as a dependency - you have technically introduced a consultancy corporation as a dependency in your product.

Yes, it is possible. Have seen a few nerds who could solve Math Olympiad problems in a jiffy but had extreme trouble navigating government bureaucracy.

Yet C++ is a very flexible language. You have the tools to implement approaches like "stateful metaprogramming" to give you virtual function templates if you really need them. There is nothing (wrt language) that cannot be done

Generics would be far less gnarly if language designers adopted Zig-like comptime instead of designing a second mini-language within the main language.

Just amazed that applets are still being used and are still working. Many folks here are younger than Java Applet technology.

> Tariffing Canada was already insane and he didn't care. Was it really ? It seems a bold and smart move. Some Canadian companies have already moved to the USA and many are contemplating moving this year if the tariffs still hold.

Your win32 app would have been much faster with much less memory hogging though. I would prefer to run that compared to your React app.

The "lifeboat" did not apparently have custom seats for Williams and Wilmore and was deemed unsafe for re-entry and landing. So yes, they were effectively stranded as they had no technically safe means of return.

Stranded and rescue seem the right terminology if they are going to have permanent medical disabilities. It would definitely have been called stranded by the American media in an earlier era.

He committed a clear and factual mistake in design - a [Basic Engineering Defect]. It cannot be merely called not following "convention". Now if the question was between radio buttons and a drop-down list - that is a designer&#x27

This is why I have begin to prefer languages with comprehensive, batteries-included standard libraries so that you need very few dependencies. Dep Management has become a full time headache nowadays with significant effort going into CVE a

Huh, I haven't experienced those problems on my thinkpad - sleep/resume seems to work without issues. But admittedly I am just doing simple developer work, nothing fancy.

People who brought up the lab-leak as the most self-explanatory and obvious cause of Covid, given all the data including the gain-of-function research being sponsored in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, were down-voted thousands of times

Better a language that deprecates and breaks things at regular intervals of time compared to a language that has Forever Backward Compatibility like C++ and evolves into a mutated, tentacled monster that strangles developers who are trying

My deep-seated guess is that the switch from a simple language like Objective-C to the complex Swift language with its humongous compile times has caused developer productivity to be broken. No time to fix bugs, no time to refactor, no time

I am honestly surprised - you should see dead birds at-least a couple of times a week. Not annually or monthly, but weekly esp for a full wind-farm like what you are stating. Which part of the world do you live in ? It is possible that the

Ugghh. I meant everyone in bird conservation. The ABC article explains why the official numbers are a heavy underestimate. But this was in 2021 - it has gotten worse since then. This is not unique to the US - my personal experience of this

Yes, explicitly piling up under wind turbines. This was in the Western Ghats in India and my mother was sickened - (she used to be a regular trekker before Covid). I didn't initially believe her either. Btw, they were so effective as b

Real number is well above that. Everyone involved in bird conservation agrees this number is a fraction only reported for public consumption - real number is well into the millions. You can ask organizations like ABC birds.

by lenkite 2y ago
That number is a heavy under-estimate and deliberately lowered for public consumption. But, you might want to sit down - The real slaughter is well in the millions annually.
