Having just migrated from Zulip to Slack, I find Slack's threading model really bad. Discord is a little better, but still fragmented over time in a busy channel. Zulip has the best implementation I've seen for putting semi-relate

The very first B compiler was written in BCPL by Ken Thompson. B later became self-hosting, i.e. the BCPL compiler compiled the B compiler, but this had another set of challenges due to the extreme memory constraints. It was an iterative pr

Absolutely, I imagine the insurance alone would make the Persian Gulf route unviable. Pirates is one thing, but governments confiscating boats would be a huge disincentive. The other side of the Sinai is probably much more palatable even if

It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like the Suez canal was on super flat land and I recall most of Sinai is desert. The Israel-Egypt border doesn't look that flat based on the colouring on the leading image of [1]. 1. https:

It's a lot further to dig, but the next best thing would be to dig from the Persian gulf through Iraq, Syria and probably Lebanon. Not forgetting half the Persian Gulf is Iran. It's not exactly the most stable geopolitical area.

Why is it ridiculous to try to keep your culture and heritage alive? Just because your country spent over 100 years trying to eradicate indigenous culture with residential schools, doesn't mean you should move on.

It's an interesting idea, and one python has sort of used for a while with wheels (pre-compiled binary packages for specific architecture/OS combinations). For Rust, they could potentially cache the MIR or even a higher level LLVM

I don't entirely disagree that gRPC tooling is nicer and more complete in some areas, but there's some misconceptions here. You can specify openapi v2/3 as YAML and get comments that way. However, the idea is that you add des

Unattended upgrades is generally a good thing in my experience. It's quick and easy security patching. For Ubuntu, it's a bit more than that because they don't split the main and security repos, but on Debian it's one of

Quantifying it is hard for sure, but some sample questions I've used in the past: 1. (Curiosity) How do you keep up to date with tech? Then explore something recent they started playing with and how they found it. 2. (Ability to learn)

While unfortunate, I think this just shows it's a little unwise to ask such a thing in today's, often xenophobic, society. I can't attribute malice to me being asked that question, but I'm white, middle class and British

After spending many years editing wikis with a similar policy, I've found good faith is roughly synonymous with Hanlon's razor - never attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance. It's something to apply in spades

In the UK, every student does Math, English and Science to a basic level. Maths and English in particular were held up as non-negotiable if you ever wanted a job, I suspect so you had a reasonable level of literacy and numeracy to be able t

This is an argument I've never come across before and I'm curious - why does web development require the use of garbage collection? Recent blogs I've seen suggest that at very large scale, garbage collection in languages like

While many of the ideas in Rust are not particularly radical in terms of compiler research, I think part of its success is because it had the past 30 years of lessons. We all stand on the shoulders of giants. Maybe in another 30 years we&#x

The bridge is unfeasible because the channel is around 200m deep in places which makes it crazy expensive. I also found a couple of references to nuclear waste in the trench, but that might have been for another site.

After reading up about how SA elections work, I'm a bit confused. It sounds like when you vote you order a set of parties by preference and then PR is used to figure out who won a given area. Once you win that area, the party nominates

You missed my point. Ubuntu packages pip via apt, not via pypi. You can swap from an installation provided by apt to one provided by pypi using your method, but it means you're off the supported version and any guarantees of support ar

Perhaps Istanbul shows it more than other places. The city was originally Greek, then Roman, Byzantine and more recently Turkish for the last 600 years. But the city itself is a myriad of cultures likely due to its economic importance. Wiki

You could use hash the password with sha2 and then with bcrypt, but not the other way around. Hashing with sha2 will give you the same result every time. That's why it's appropriate to use as a checksumming algorithm - the results

I enjoyed the wit of this but I think there's an important point. Employees provide a given amount of value to an employer and if they aren't recognising when that value increases, I'm sure someone else will. Words are nice,
