I was hoping this article would explain why they suddenly left 600k people stranded instead of winding-down the business, but no such luck!

A port of entry is a place where one may lawfully enter a country. There is no law carving-out an exception to lawful entry for people who plan to eventually travel to a lawful port of entry.

False. If you cross the border illegally you are a criminal, period. It is not suddenly legal if you subsequently request asylum and asylum may only be granted if entering at a legal port of entry, so these people do not qualify for asylu

The government market has completely different requirements. They also don't purchase any ARs.

by maxk42 7y ago
People would just make the purchase out-of-state. They're already doing this to avoid steep sales taxes on cars. Some people even keep their vehicle registered out-of-state to avoid registration fees as well.

Yes, rust has a runtime. Even most assemblers have runtimes these days. Take a look at this: https://imgur.com/lPOPj1G You see that difference? That's not rust producing less-efficient code. That's the more com

Except that the article has mischaracterized the BLS data. The data is actually for "Welders, Cutters, Solderers, and Brazers" which is not the same as "Welders". [1] [1] https://www.bls.gov/ooh/pro

Yeah, the article starts out describing $150k salaries in Ohio then makes a case study of some guy in the notoriously-poor North Carolina Appalachian region who didn't even become a welder. What kind of piss-poor journalism is that?

Any large-scale logistics (e.g. bigger than a garage-scale operation) will be handled via international freight brokers -- not USPS. So components should be largely unaffected.

My company does this. Everyone's answer is always either 2 or 3. Anyone who answers 4 or 5 is going to get a talking-to and special attention and that's the last thing they want unless they're genuinely on the verge of quit

Well again -- I don't know how Rust does it specifically, but when you compile C++ programs in g++ with exceptions disabled you pretty consistently see a 10% speed improvement right off the bat and the performance falls more closely in

The two biggest factors involved are (1) Runtime. Even though C has "no" runtime, there is some runtime overhead: Variable allocation / de-allocation and alignment. Function invocation / call stack setup. Et cetera.

That's not remotely true and has nothing to do with my point.

As much as I value privacy and think America needs a new constitutional amendment enshrining it in our rights, this title is clickbait and the entire article is designed to whip you into a panic. Here's the crux: "Privacy Interna

ORMs are amazingly useful in the limited case that you're performing basic CRUD operations or simple joins. In any sufficiently complex codebase you'll be doing more than this, however, and the work to support the ORM properly the

My personal preference is tabs and the reason I never hear given is that I simply don't want to press a button two or four times when I can press it once. When I type a single tab: bam! code indented. When I type backspace, the inde

Or the language they're working in. Python devs use spaces, go devs use tabs. But I don't think the average Python dev makes more than the average go dev.

"Slippery slope arguments are a falacy" is, as an argument, a fallacy.
