> Many decisions are made in seconds based on an impression from an ad You are talking about click decisions, not purchase ones. There's no evidence ads can affect consumers' purchasing behavior, in fact quite the opposite.

Agreed and I think it's easier to compare tech to the movie industry. Just look at all the crappy movies they produce with IMDB ratings below 5 out of 10, that is movies that nobody's going to even watch; then there are the shitty

Customers usually have more time to make a decision. When it comes to spending our own money, we ask around, we do some research by googling for independent reviews etc. before we buy an innovative product. So yes, I think a 10 minute prese

It was in Europe, and no I'm not a web dev. About 6-7 years ago I switched from systems programming in C/C++ to iOS, Android and some backend, but mostly iOS which is my favorite platform now. I did some web development years ago

I see, but it can be explained by the aging management (middle or high or both) at your company. Correct?

I'm a 50+ greybeard (literally) and here's my story: I once figured I could improve my chances of getting a job if I shave my beard. I knew I looked much younger without it, people would get my age wrong by some 10-15 years. And s

According to this page [1] it's Ubuntu, CentOS and Amazon Linux at the moment, and Fedora is underway. I don't know much about Windows because am not considering Windows as a backend OS and I can imagine it would be problematic to

> Ultimately, no one uses Swift voluntarily, and that's a bad sign. Sorry but this can't be more wrong. I love Swift so much that I can tolerate and forgive its compiler's sluggishness. Swift is now available on Linux (has

Isn't it because depression and anxiety were taboo topics then? I think these topics have been normalized only relatively recently. Even in the 1980s none of the superstars would come out and admit they are suffering depression (Whitne

Didn't watch the video, but is the inner Doom using the same engine and resources as the outer one? Would be really cool if it did. In that case yes, you can have infinitely nested Dooms within Dooms, though you'd probably see a s

Of course the link should be invalidated, but that doesn't protect from a situation where an attacker initiates a login, then the user receives an email and clicks. The chances are slim but some people might get confused and click with

It might be because on the server side they usually don't care about energy or RAM much. The StackOverflow dev team has an interesting blog post somewhere, where they explain that they figured at one point C#'s GC was the bottlene

I'm not familiar with the details but it is said that Swift's ARC is several times faster than ObjC's, it somehow doesn't always require atomic inc/dec. It also got even better specifically on the M1 processors. As

ARC is in fact faster than GC, and even more so on M1/M2 chips and the Swift runtime. There were benchmarks circulating here on Hacker News, unfortunately can't find those posts now. GC requires more memory (normally double the am

This is becoming a pointless meta, but the parent comment didn't indicate in any way that I was talking to a "professor". The comment said, great that there are more languages with GC. I disagree whoever may say that. I'

I don't understand, how does that invalidate my response to that person's comment about GC's?

by mojuba 4y ago
GC is not the only way though, see Rust and Swift, both very safe languages.

Listened for a few minutes: I'd tweak the EQ so that voices sound more pleasant. In fact the remote voice (is it Zoom or something similar?) sounds awful to be honest, but that's the shortcoming of this type of recordings. So you

I don't understand all the negativity in this thread. Submodules can be annoying in that they require special attention and treatment all the time. You need to keep the mental model of your entire project's tree in mind so that yo

I know, but the OP meant Search, not News. Google and even DDG can downrank certain news sources and I wouldn't be very surprized if Yandex did too, but I'd really like to see examples.

I don't think so. A human-verified, tested and maintained code is obviously superior to a snippet blindly copied and mixed by a statistical system.

Then another hypothesis: you probably haven't found the right tools for it yet. I find myself writing biolerplate mostly around some obscure system framework calls (iOS/macOS), but that's rather rare. But even OS API's a

Genuinely curious: which media outlets are banned from Yandex Search? I just tried Meduza for example, comes up in search just fine.

Can I suggest a hypothesis that if you find Copilot useful it means the problem you are solving is a boring one? I might be wrong of course.
