I would pay for a reserved spot to store my bag. Now that most US airlines are charging ordinary customers for checked luggage, there is insufficient overhead bin space on almost every flight. This has resulted in a secondary effect of a gr

the one thing about hierarchies that keeps them alive for me is that I am forced to assign one when I save a file, and they already exist. Sure, you could have a dumping ground like a "downloads" folder, but that's temporary

This is my thought exactly, if what they say is true: "It was always a financial decision,” Suppon said. “We wanted to be able to offset our energy costs, produce our own energy and only pay distribution [fees] back to the grid.” Then

Yeah, I'm never working with Elastic again. I used Lucene first, then Solr, then a custom scaled version, so I never really needed elasticsearch until using AWS. We did have one project on AWS using elastic, but happily moved to opense

I am not sure they had to give up, but my initial experiences with Edge weren't great. There are some interesting claims of bad behavior on Google's part, but I wasn't only seeing problems on Google properties. https:/&

It's bizarre to suggest this. They don't need Google's money to compete in browser development. The hard part is competing with a free product. If someone comes up with another way to offer the browser for free, or offer feat

In terms of LLM code generation as well, the well structured nature of a Rails application, where there is a place for everything, a structure for tests to be added, really helps from the perspective of getting a comprehensible application

By giving these things to random people, we don't do a very good job of evaluating their effects. If something works on 10% of the population, randomly selecting participants in an experiment will never give a significant result. If so

Shoup did point out that we often don't charge enough for parking, which impedes the construction of things like parking lots and garages, because the free space is distorting the market. However, blindly advocating for less parking is

Yes, but it means less than something like UserGroup. I hear you on {} though, I'm currently looking at "e: ".

Are you? What would an option for a hash set of userids? I just don't find that "types" magically solve problems of cognitive load.

by mattmcknight 2y ago
Types? "Option<HashSet<UserId>>" means almost nothing to me. A well defined domain model should indicate what that structure represents.
