I don't think this is how most introverts have felt. Introversion doesn't mean you dislike interaction with other people. Like others mentioned, what you're describing doesn't sound like just being introverted, it sounds

>tire rolling resistance test are done on a bumpy surface Which ones are? The ones at bicyclerollingresistance.com aren't road-like-bumpy at least, and that's the most commonly cited page I know of for rolling resistance.

Nit-picking, but 27mm is very common as the "actual width" of tyres branded 25mm.

I love brr.com and have used them a lot, but in the context of this thread, it's important to consider that the surface they test the tires against do not have the kind of imperfections you see on the road. This means lower pressure wi

I think lab workers researching viruses are some of the less likely to do so, unless they're in a really bad state. If they were in a very bad state, it's less likely that it was the seasonal flu.

His radar explanation for FLIR doesn't really hold well if you take their stories into account though. There's a limit to how far away it could have been since they're saying they saw it near sea level below where they were.

I've only read about it in Swedish, but here's [1] a Reddit post discussing it in English (with the top-comment referencing a later news article which says the study was retracted). 1: https://www.reddit.com/r&#x2F

Are you sure there are false positives with the serological tests they're using? As far as I've read, there are tests with only false negatives, and if I don't misremember they were the ones used for the Swedish statistical s

What's so complex about ASP.NET Core web api, other than having to learn to use a DI framework? I found it very simple and minimal (again, other than the DI) when learning it.

People definitely do that most of the time in Stockholm. If you see someone waiting for the light to turn green with no nearby cars, it's most likely because have kids with them or they're old and walk slow. Jaywalking is also ver

How are crime statistics relevant? If anything, you should look at recidivism. Crime statistics have more to do with other things in society than the 'philosophy' of prisons.

But did they do that before Uber?

It's been debated, but there's hardly any code using it. After seeing how it's being used by most people, it'd be easier to make a choice.

Wow, this is the only suggestion I really didn't like. I'm really happy that it's progressing forward, but I can't help but feel that staying with the macro and postponing the decision would've been a better choice.

Considering your other comment with "billion dollar investors" in a company that was barely worth 1 billion dollars back then, this definitely reads like a made-up story.

No, just like Spotify doesn't ban you for turning off the audio during commercials or looking away from the screen.

What are you even talking about? You're making it sound like Firefox has ever been a lot worse than Chrome, but that's far from the truth. I've used both quite a lot and I've always preferred Firefox, even _without_ cons

> Sometimes you need to. You cannot entirely stack allocate an object that uses PIMPL. You actually can, if I'm not misunderstanding: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm

by nchie 8y ago
Well, there is a way to have them on the stack even with PImpl: http://www.gotw.ca/gotw/028.htm However I'd say it's an ugly hack which should only ever be used if you _really_ need the performance.

I know, which is why I said Linux containers. Although, Docker on Linux can't run Windows containers, can it?
54.
by nchie 8y ago
A 10mb Linux container will still share the Linux kernel with the host, hence it's still running on Linux, even if it doesn't have any dynamic dependencies. There's no OS "inside" the container, no, but it's st

by nchie 8y ago
I'm not disagreeing to any of that, what I'm saying is that to run a Linux Docker container on Windows, you'll need a Linux VM which runs Docker, which is exactly what Docker for Windows does for you using HyperV.
56.
by nchie 8y ago
That's not really true, OS definitely matters with Docker, both on the host and the container. Docker for Windows uses a VM to run Linux containers.

While Rust competes with C++ by sharing a lot of goals, it is _way_ closer to ML than C++ is. If it was developed with the goal of being an ML language, my guess is that a lot of what it does wouldn't be possible and it'd end up b

Having to reimplement things such as text selection, clipboard, and making it more or less impossible to write plugins which affect the pages being shown (adblock, reddit enhancement suit, etc) are a few huge reasons. I'd prefer to kee

As someone with a C++ background who loves Rust and wants it to succeed: Code where the lifetime syntax is used much can look really horrible and confusing, and to people new to Rust it might feel like it's for no reason.
