I have a similar, but different story. When I worked at Google, one rule for C++ code was to always write a namespace prefix (so std::vector<T> instead of vector<T>, to avoid dark corners of the language). One exception was `str

> You see this with people claiming that I'm exaggerating when I say all code should be parallel. I mean, you're clearly exaggerating. My ad-hoc Python scripts don't have to be parallel.

What type of tasks do you usually do with a GUI file manager? Long time ago I've fully converted to a command line, and I don't even have any GUI file browser now (like explorer or nautilus). I find `cd`ing (with a good tab comple

I think that's unnecessarily pessimistic view. I have recently started using ChatGPT for mid-hard questions (when I can't get an answer immediately using Google), mostly "how do I" questions. It lies of dreams up fake an

I hope you're also a role model for this. Do you take multi-day breaks from screens, and take care to avoid wanting screens too much? I'm spending most of my leisure time in front of a screen. Explaining to my children why it&#x27

Interesting idea, I quite like it. At the same time we have things like kubernetes, where most people store secrets in the environment variables that every single process in the container can read.

I agree in theory, but on my personal machine (and probably most other peoples' machines) all the interesting things are accessible by my account anyway. I'm not worried about malware changing my system configuration, I'm wor

You can't sign stuff without crypto (unless you mean by hand, on paper). Cryptographic signatures by design involve cryptography. I know what you both meant, just playing with words, sorry. I just hope now that the dust has settled, we

How do they represent real numbers? If anything, they represent rational numbers. Also I think your answer is unnecessarily nitpicky. Sentence 'floats can't represent "simple" values like 0.1 (...)' is perfectly cle

Shouldn't people names be anonymised in this case? At least in my country it's the law. Often it's just a theater since either everyone knows the alleged perpetrator, or tabloids do sketchy stuff like "Jane D., daughter

I don't have a strong opinion about TikTok one way or the other, but as an European I find this discussion interesting. I always found China's decision to ban foreign applications backwards and a setback to an open internet. And n

Another reading of that comment would be that they use Debian (with Systemd) when needed, and personally prefer Devuan for philosophical/personal reasons.

I don't completely understand your comment. Do you imply there's something wrong with being autistic? Or that overworking is an exclusively autistic trait? Both interpretations seems off, so I believe I missed your point. Though I

I don't know why you're downvoted. If they picked randomly there's around 21% chance of getting a distribution like this (4+ women) randomly. And 21% chance of getting 4+ men. This means that there's just about 58% chanc

I agree with both points. One of the things I miss from my previous job is a thriving mattermost instance with channels full of jokes mixed with technical (but not necessarily work-related) info. It really brought the team together and I be

Most US websites I deal with throw a random error when I give them my name. And it's not even weird, just one non-ascii character. Especially annoying since they always say something to the effect of "Write your legal name here, e
