It depends on how much context is needed. Imagine you have a Go library that parses JavaScript. Parsing can return an error, and it's very helpful to know information like the line and column number. So you might have an error like thi

Yes, that's what a log scale does to a graph. But why do you feel a log scale is appropriate in this situation? To me, a linear scale is a much better choice. The underlying data isn't necessarily exponential, so there isn't

I find fishing barbaric, and I spent a lot of time fishing as a kid. Fly fishing is definitely more humane than a lot of other types of fishing, but ultimately you’re hurting a fish for pleasure. That’s basically a form of sadism. Of course

Dams do not make land uninhabitable. Dams use land for a productive purpose. Do railroads make land uninhabitable? I would say that land with railroad tracks should still be considered habitable, even though you'd die should you choose

I don’t think it’s whataboutism. The OC said they do not understand how a human can fin a shark because it’s cruel. The GP comment provided an example (factory farming animals) that illustrates animal cruelty is commonplace. That is to say,

I don’t think that many people would complain if shoplifters were forced to return legitimately purchased wares. After all, we fine people for shoplifting. Money is fungible. So the effect is similar.

How many people live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone? Svetlana Alexievich interviewed some of “The Zone’s” residents in her excellent book Voices From Chernobyl. It’s not a fun place to live, unless having all your teeth fall out is fun.

But the nuclear power plant has the potential to make large swaths of land uninhabitable for thousands of years. There’s clearly a difference.

I think the Fed wants to taper the rate increases to reduce volatility in the market. If they announced a halt to rate increases then there would be a massive upswing in the market and inflation could potentially increase again.

Core CPI was up 0.2% MoM. That’s just over 2% annualized.

Can you give a specific example of what is wrong with Min's security configuration, assuming it is following Electron best practices. Asserting that the security model is bad and linking to Electron's security tutorial is not help

At the same time people aren’t as flush with cash. During the pandemic, car dealerships were selling cars sight unseen and months from delivery. Buyers aren’t going to accept that anymore. The dealerships need inventory to show people.

I think we're just at the tip of the iceberg in terms of what software is , so it's a bit premature to say where it went wrong. The author says that "Software is not creative." This may be true, but software is a creat

This is like saying thread count is always the bottle neck in computation. More money allows more parallelism as you can pay for more people and more equipment for more research. As in computing, there are diminishing marginal returns and s

This would obviously be codec dependent, but I'm surprised it's impossible to losslessly re-encode a video given I, P, and B frames. Mentally, I think of P frames as containing "changes" in the frame. The changes would b

TikTok has 138 million MAU (in the U.S.) and the average TikTok user spend 95 minutes per day in the app. I'm unaware of a podcast that has that type of reach. Source: https://wallaroomedia.com/blog/social-media&#x

This has nothing to do with user data. People are influenced by the content they see on social media. Allowing a foreign adversary to run the main information network for an entire generation of the population is not a wise move.

Isn't Lua's main benefit that it has a small runtime that can be executed inside the context of a large C/C++ executable? Julia has support for C FFI, but it looks like you'd have to manually wrap all of your native code

The advertiser isn’t paying $1195 for 10,000 impressions. They’re paying for an endorsement. That’s much different than the YouTube pre-roll ad model.
