Yes, it appears that Uber may have edited the video. Even if they didn't edit it and just used a very shitty dashcam, it's still incredibly misleading. There are no alternate versions of the dashcam available. However, there are c

> Expressions “return a value.” Yes, "returning" is problematic, because that has a very specific meaning in the context of a function call. But even if we forgive the author the inaccurate terminology, it is also an incorrect

They might be equivalent (perhaps apart from other issues pointed out in other comments), but both implementations are still either 1) incorrect if UTF-8-strings are supposed to be valid input, or 2) very inefficient if only ASCII-strings a

The Rust version uses `target.chars().count()` to initialise the cache, while the Go version counts up to `len(target)`. These are not equivalent: the Rust version counts Unicode code points, the Go version counts bytes. I am confused by th

This is solid advice, also because if you think you’ll be 2 weeks late it is likely that you’ll eventually be 3 weeks late anyway. Delays have a habit of piling up.

Adding to this: ALWAYS use spaces as thousand-separators. Resist the temptation to use commas or dots as thousand-separators. Seeing a number with a dot as a decimal separator instead of a comma will be fine for most people (even if proper

Oatly is brilliant to make cappuccinos with: the foam is very stable and tastes great, unlike many other milk substitutes in my opinion. But unfortunately it clogs the cappuccinatore of our Jura coffee machine after a few cups...

This only works for editable text, though, right? Selecting text from websites or other static text is as clumsy as ever.

I think it would be nice if `NOT NULL` was set by default on columns. However there are a lot of legitimate use cases that can't be (practically) solved by restructuring. Data can be incomplete. Maybe only because it is not (yet) known

I haven't, I'm not really sure where to start, so any suggestions would be welcome! I mostly don't know who this standard would benefit enough to put in any significant resources. It seems just a small thing that helps everyo

As a data point, on a busy GKE production cluster with 12 highcpu-16 nodes we have kube-system pods taking a total of ~700mCPU on all servers combined. I'm not sure how the CPU usage scales, but probably not linearly. Most of the CPU u

You really cannot compare a Yamazaki with an Islay whisky. Sherry or otherwise. Preferring Laphroaig PX over a Yamazaki has nothing to do with the quality of either, but with personal preference. You just cannot compare a heavily peaty&#x2F

As a European, I agree. US cities are confusing to me because streets all look the same. I find it impossible to locate interesting areas without prior knowledge. Maybe what seems easiest to navigate depends on what you’re used to?

In many EU countries a contract does not actually end if you continue to show up to do work in mutual (implicit) agreement with the managers at the company you work for. It would constitute an implicit extension of the contract, effectively
