> That is (in part) Nassim Nicholas Taleb's point: we use IQ to select for success, then say IQ is correlated with success. It is circular reasoning. This would only be correct if the SAT were expressly an IQ test, and we selected p

In practice, the key to avoiding logic errors tends to be well-considered interface design. Not all languages are necessarily equally susceptible to logic errors, though, and C is rather middling in that regard.

If that were the case, you might find yourself having a hard time joining organisations that care about this. It'd be something of a liability.

It's like the second name everyone comes up with. There are at least five build systems (or adjacent) named bake. Probably a few orders of magnitude more.

This is, I suppose, very similar to criminal motive, except that we find them sympathetic. A reminder that not all that is (locally, de facto) illegal is wrong. One man's terrorist &c.

Both are strictly opt-in: the choice is made before you die (which can be very close to death, but then most deaths are related to not seeing the death coming , so that doesn't necessarily help), and disqualification from high scores

For most use cases, the required capacity ranges from zero to still small enough to fit on a single host. Any half-decent shared host ought to be able to scale you at least as far as a single database server on commodity hardware will suffi

The headline is true under the assumption that music downloads are only for listening to. But it is a tremendous loss to forget about downstream processing, e.g. remixes &c., which will want extra bit-depth: > An engineer also requ

You can write scripts in the semantics-preserving common subset of POSIX sh and bash, which is not quite, but close to exactly POSIX sh. It's a widely-touted meme that scripting is more easily done in a general-purpose language than in

It wouldn't even be another standard; it'd just be another incompatible implementation with its own quirks to be worked around.

... overlooking the fact that you aren't sure what it means for a year to be week-based in the first place, since years aren't a part of a week and weeks don't fit evenly into years. Literally the next sentence suggests tha

Indeed, Mike Pall has indicated at various points that the name is a pseudonym: > Heck, I've done the opposite. There's quite a bit of code out there which I haven't published under my real name (for various reasons). Not

This seems substantially less likely to be a problem since (a) G-V-u is relatively rare compared to Y-m-d (b) The choice-of-year problem is inherent to week-based dates, but not to month-based dates, since years are not week-aligned, so kno

One of the big benefits of using these APIs is often that you implicitly accept a greater range of user formats than you anticipated.
