This, and then, if you notice, and backspace to remove the 'e', it doesn't put chess back into the search results, since it figures that everything that matches 'che' also matches 'ch', and so doesn't

It definitely has a following. This is the challenge of extreme weather, it's either drought or floods, and wild swings from the one to the other. As a kid growing up in Australia, we heard many such stories, especially if the rains ca

This is the bit that I don't get though, if it is all about the "travel and lifestyle", then why would I want to end up in a rural village in Spain. My travel is more limited, and I'm hardly following the "digital

Exactly this. Or charge my laptop via the phone cable, sure, it's slower, but it still works.

That is exact problem. Basically JEP401 guarantees that just adding "value" to the class won't change behaviour, which also means that you are not allowed to see object tearing, which requires atomic operations on the field.

That is a nice piece piece of knowledge! We have an Integer cache in our product, and the only reason that it hangs around is that it caches 0..1024 instead of -127..128. By setting this value, we could simplify our code, ever so slightly.

What is the problem at hand? How to get customers to make poor financial decisions? How to sell more phones to people that can't really afford them? Seriously, what is the problem that is being solved?

They didn't blow the whistle though, not really. Especially not when gp said that they expected the department head to brush it under the rug. If reporting things "up the chain of command" was really expected to root corrupti

There are plenty of cases where flattening an object that takes 64bits would make sense. The current code will help with `Integer[]`, `Char []`, etc, as well as combinations of `byte`, `char`, and `int`. Past that it doesn't really hel

At the very least, it goes against the spirit of the specification, even if there is no explicit wording forbidding it.

In many battlefield scenarios, there is more than one "somebody" on it. The "somebody" that you kill might not be the "somebody" that you intended to kill. Depending on the how pelicans are created, it is entir

That's the advantage of externalised costs. It doesn't matter how high they are, you don't have to pay them! You see this in all sorts of places, for example, stealing an EV charging cable. To a thief, a $500 charging station

This has always been true. We have talked about the costs of raising children forever. What is different now, is twofold: 1. Bigger financial impact of having a child, both through less government support, and because more women are working

Or even both. In any kind of continuous deployment, you'd expect outages at the point of deployment, or shortly thereafter as the unintended consequences ripple. Then the load during the working days makes those ripples larger and into

There’s a common scaling heuristic, related to Greiner’s growth model, that organizations need to fundamentally change how they operate as they grow. I recall numbers that every time your organization triples you need to change how you do t

Economics has this concept called revealed preferences[1]. These are preferences that people don't say that they want, but is what they actually use preferentially. An example of this the ordering machines that you normally now see in

Even ignoring that "you" as an individual are not affected by this, there are plenty of things that "you" as an individual cannot do with your own property. For example, a lot of places in the US live under a HOA, and th

You would be surprised I think. I know a bunch of people who use Siri, for all sorts of things. I personally regularly use the "push to activate" Siri for quickly setting up meetings et al. And a *lot* of people want to use Siri w

And, indeed, if you look at the author's writeup, you see exactly that the generated code satisifes `(rotate == true || rotate == false) == false`, since rotate is checked explicitly against 0 and 1. The essence of the difference is:

For those that don't know why, and I didn't, the reason for this is that Tilapia are "mouth brooders", that is they keep the fertilised eggs in their mouth. So throwing away a dead female can cause these eggs to hatch, a

An interesting article, however my question is technical. In the "The Mechanism of Extraction" section, how is that image made? It is nicely laid out, and has a nice "hand-drawn" feel. This is a good format for many tech

I assume that you are talking about the [devcontainers LCI]( https://github.com/devcontainers/cli ) when you say "a CLI"?

The real question is how do you enforce that the human is reviewing and double-checking? When the AI gets "good enough", and the review becomes largely rubber stamping, and 50% is pretty close to that, then you run the risk that

In my experience, Gemini is great for "one-shot" work, and is my goto for "web" AI usage. Claude Code beats gemini-cli though. Gemini-cli isn't bad , but it's also not good. I would love to try antigravity out
