These systems cruise along for years, and when something finally does go belly-up, I can't remember how I set it up in the first place. This happened a few times to me over the years and then I was lucky enough to go on a packer&#x2F

You are probably better off with the Mac, but I can recommend one option that many people ignore but that works for well me. Modern Linux virtualization (KVM/Qemu) is powerful and is getting easier to setup with programs such as Virtua

I installed Lineage 17.1 on a Fairphone 2 yesterday. If only I had waited one more day... I can +1 the recommendation though. Lineage runs much better than the original OS and breathes life into what would be e-waste.

Checking for nil receivers is rare and hardly idiomatic. I think newcomers are exposed to this behaviour now. For instance, it is step 12 in the tour of Go: https://tour.golang.org/methods/12 I learnt Go before the t

I have been in this position a few times and I recommend using static analysis and linters e.g FindBugs for Java, CppCheck for C++. Personally I only use a debugger when there are bugs, but I know some people who debug the code when they ar

Given that human beings are very successful at breeding, I don't see the point of extending lifetimes so space can be explored by geriatric astronauts.

China has a branding problem. A network of concentration camps, forced labour and forced sterilization is more than a branding problem [1] Given the scale of abuse, you could argue that it is branding success. [1] https://www.

I know very little about SIMD but a lot of crates I have used support SIMD acceleration. For an overview see [1]. There is also an interesting crate that abstracts over different instructions and does runtime detection [2]. [1] https:&#x2F

However, eventually I also want to install updates. Unfortunately, on numerous occasions these updates have rendered the system unbootable. This is not a worthwhile tradeoff. Are these "updates" or "upgrades"? If the p

I know Vertex has a reputation for being lightweight but 100MB for a JVM webapp seems unrealistic to me. For instance, a barely used Jenkins needs 200MB.

For example, I work somewhere than no longer allows you to program the words "blacklist" or "master," and the list of terms they have in the works is hilariously impressive. I have no problem with this. I take no pleas

Glenn Greenwald has slowly been loosing his mind. Is this something he said in the interview or on Twitter? Do you have a particular quote?
