Yeah and (1) the codegen produces massive headers that slow compilation of anything that touches them (2) the generated classes are really awkward to use. Not a big fan of the experience of protobuffer generated code in a large C++ code bas

Interesting! On the guitar when alternate tunings are used, the pitches are written as they sound. I wonder if maybe the difference is due to the fact that alternate fingerings are very common for guitar (because of having more strings spac

That's not a good analogy. Mostly shows you don't understand the problem being solved. It's not "faking" an analog system within a digital system. (If anything, that's what a full digital DJ set up is.) It&#x27

Your use of "illusion" and "pretend" seem a bit dismissive or cynical. It's just a vinyl interface to a digital set up. The alternative (when using digital music) is a digital controller which also tries to mimic vi

Indexes can only help narrow down to the issues for the project (more generally: matching rows for the query). Once the index narrows down the rows, Postgres still has to count them all, and Postgres isn't particularly fast at that, es

I used to agree with this completely, but type annotations & checking have made it much more reasonable. I still wouldn't choose it for a large project, but types have made it much, much easier to work with others' python code

I haven't used R in forever, but is your `.` placeholder actually necessary? From my recollection of pipe operator the value being pipe piped is automatically as the first argument to the next function. That may have been a different i

Broadly speaking electric bikes don't use regenerative braking. It's not possible with a road bike drive train. In any case, the weight of the motor is overcome by the motor itself, using the power stored in the battery.

While I don't believe they're being used to cheat in professional cycling, a motor would _definitely_ provide a massive advantage in a cycling race of any kind. A motor easily provides enough power to overcome its weight, and they

Isn't that their point though? They don't have 30 years of C/C++ experience and a workplace with very strict guidelines. They are just trying to write some code, and they run into trouble on C++'s sharper edges.

Right, gotcha, I just found it confusing to say "modifying a `const` value" but if course you meant modifying the underlying value [through a cast]. All good.
