The highlighted comment has been marked as off-topic and requires logging in to view, which I'm disinclined to do from mobile. Is there a summary elsewhere?

Sometimes borrowing from the future is desirable, if done carefully. In my case, with naturally delayed sleep cycles even without artificial lighting, caffeine lets me take some of that night-time energy and shift it to the day. It's

Are those symbols defined in that file, or is that an import reference from a library? What does (your platform's equivalent of) nm or ldd say?

Some people on every side engage in bad faith, and some in good faith. Find the ones who are operating on good faith and engage with them, rather than painting an entire side with a broad brush. And be mindful of the spectators -- they&#x

I don’t mind alienating you; the masters tools will never dismantle the master’s house. I've never heard this phrase before, but it equally applies to the situation where one thinks only they can wield a weapon. We can't assume

There's no way that a container full of TVs costs $100 per TV to ship. A bit of quick ddg-ing and it looks like a 40 foot container should be less than $4000 port to port.

The thing is, education, especially public education, has to work for _everyone_. I think this is the big mistake that is bringing everyone down instead of building everyone up. There can never be one system that works for everyone, unle

Unless you have some real data backing this up, you can't claim this is true. You'll never get real data on this because the people doing it and not getting caught won't admit to it. You just had to listen carefully to wha

"Preparatory industry" is a bit much. I ran into a YT channel run by a guy currently employed by FAANG as a hiring manager and selling courses for how to pass his own hiring interviews. With that, plus bootcamps, I think &quo

I'd wager that modern synthetic oils could beat whale oil, but now I'm curious what the state of the art is.

SGI had some cool hardware. This station also had an O2 and an Onyx, sharing an 18GB SCSI external drive over NFS, if I am remembering their explanation right (these memories are older than I was when I formed them). The software rep ha

The fixed title and search box at the top take up an awful lot of prime screen area on mobile. Made it really hard to read. Redis doesn't need to advertise to shoulder surfers on the subway. Edit: to comment on the content, the last
