Just looking at the code excerpt makes it clear the code must be quite low quality

Wrapping every pointer in a smart pointer is very bad style; that suggests you simply have the bad level of abstraction in your code. That problem seems even more prevalent in Rust, where I see Arc used everywhere, presumably as a cop-out n

unique_ptr/shared_ptr (and box/arc) still need to handle null states due to how moving works in C++.

Fork it, you should have ownership of your whole stack. If you have the spare time, you can try and submit your patches upstream; in the meantime, you just maintain your own version.

bug workarounds don't need to be justified if instead of working around the bug you just fix it instead.

Why not io_uring? That's the biggest game changer. I guess because it's not possible to abstract away as much.

Would have been nice to see with only first gen pokemon which were much better balanced IMHO.

Imagine how much they would "win" if they got rid of their chauvinism and properly catered to their audience. Though I'm not sure why you're personally getting pride out of global corporations making money.

Hollywood movies specifically target a global audience and not just a domestic one. The US is only at most 30% of Hollywood revenue.

Americans also seem to believe that their accent, which generally sounds awful to other speakers, is somehow natural and easy to understand for everyone. I turn on closed captions for most American films, but I find that I rarely need them

Most of those features exist to compensate for low-quality TVs. The guy should just advocate for people to buy $2k+ TVs instead of $200 ones.

Trying to understand everyone is a foolish endeavor, if not outwardly judgemental. What's more valuable is simply accepting that there are others who are different.

Europe used to have its own system, but it merged with Mastercard in 2002. These days however the focus has moved to digital payments, and Europe is now backing Wero, which they aim to start rolling out properly in 2026.

I Spend 0. I don't understand why anyone would need most of these services.

I only go to small local specialty shops within walking distance of my house, none of which has such sophisticated equipment. Where I live, the trend has been to make spaces more walkable and with more nature and green spaces.

Is there such a thing as a good ad? I've always blocked them on all platforms. Looking at instagram where I don't block anything, most of what it suggests to me are soft porn or soft scams (generic chinese dropships marketed as a

It's more of a bad IRC replacement than a reddit one.

They don't write on forums but they like or share a story. It's just more passive/consumer-minded.

The old decentralized Internet is dying out and being replaced by a few apps under the total control of a few companies. I'm not sure much can be done about this. At least the physical world is still the same.

That's not true of all code bases. Some projects are built by very small close-knit teams which get to drive everything. In that scenario the developers have tight control over every little detail.

What are the achievements of these people that make them "the best engineers in the country"? They're also people who have founded AI companies, so of course they would push for it. It feels like you're taking all the cl

LLMs are great if you don't care about every little detail being correct nor having control of how everything works so that you can change it whenever the situation warrants it. Turns out that a lot of code is fine with this. Some part

Another protocol that's not mentioned is PPS and its variants, such as WhiteRabbit. A regular pulse is emitted from a specialized high-precision device, possibly over a specialized high-precision network. Enables picosecond accuracy (o

You don't necessarily need to lay out your data in arrays to use SIMD, though it certainly makes things more straightforward.

Perl is obsolete and was replaced by Python for all usages in practice.

It's still lacking content that goes before/after the output. Just write a Python script that does the whole thing.

surely the preprocessor method doesn't work in the general case, since the data can contain commas or parentheses. Regardless all of the methods suggested are terrible. If you don't have access to #embed, just write a trivial pyth

I just turn off trackpads, I'm not interested in that kind of input device, and any space dedicated to one is wasted to me. I use nibs exclusively (which essentially restricts me to Thinkpads). My arms rest on the body, the last thing

why would you want a laptop being made of metal? it's a stylistic choice, not a logical one.
