I mean the article says that they "assume they have been destroyed" so maybe it's businesses paying for hardware to be destroyed and now it's not possible to resell instead.

Isn't there supposed to be a problem with health providers explicitly rejecting insurance companies/packages that are possible to buy yourself? You don't really have a choice if nobody where you live will take your insurance.

This is more interesting than the linked poll, thanks.

Well, I guess this counts as a concept I wish I learned earlier!

I also (written a few tools in rust, dabble now and then) was under the impression that it only worked with Result. Is this recent or just never encountered?

Yes, if this inconvenience is the case, this is definitely the last straw. Despite yours, and apparently the new owner's perspective, not everyone on twitter talks about or cares much for Tesla and metadrama, it's the people we fo

The conversation you are in: 1. It's the fault of the driver behind, for not leaving space 2. It's impossible to leave space, because cars will move in if there is a large gap 3. Why is this a problem?

Exactly this. A traffic jam, by definition, is never running at highway speeds. If it was, it's not a Jam.

I overtake you, the instant my car is 1m in front of yours I switch into your lane and hard break. Who is at fault for you crashing into the back of me?

Good luck maintaining a safe distance on a busy highway when every time you slow to make a space, somebody moves into the space from a different lane.

But you don’t know that to be the case, so shouldn’t we assume it’s possible? It’s not the possibility of communication with gravity waves that people are disputing, it’s that without as much science fiction as FTL the energy requirements a

Only in our current understanding of relativity, which assumes that it is not possible to exceed the speed of light. You can’t just break one postulate and assume the rest of the consequences are still ironclad.

By your argument, shouldn’t we assume that it’s possible by <literally any means you can imagine> that we just don’t know about?

How often do you imagine that the solar system is being visited? Radio waves have only been emitted for ~80 years. Industrialisation changing our atmosphere ~200 years. Even if something was persistently monitoring you are relying on “The c

Yes, yes they are. Unfortunately this is dysfunctional academia, so as long as the people paying the bills (who know nothing about building software) like them, they remain at this depth. Extra fun fact: Two years into the project, they had

A colleague has been tasked with writing a remote image viewer. It’s slower than before (running on the same machine) “because it’s client-server”. Naturally, the 16 Megapixel images are sent as an array of json floats…

You can do this on the terminal with `git add -p` but yes it’s always slightly more intuitive with a proper editor (I mainly use the many-times-forked GitX for this)

Technically it’s worded that “[they] only wrote python”, which is true, in a literal sense. I agree that saying “only” python gives an inaccurate implication, but it seems non-malicious and strictly correct. I don’t think they are trying to

This exact argument can be used to justify both POV. No one is entitled to have any particular piece of media available to them for free, either? Talented and savvy consumers can find any number of ways to make money to pay for media, like
