I'd add that those are more significant to create a liquid labor market than to empower founders. The other missing component to a startup scene is reckless venture capital. Even if you found in another city you'll probably need t

I don't see how that's functionally different than SAM on the back of a truck or on someone's shoulder.

That's more of a story of Microsoft acquiring and destroying a brand. They took the consumer software and rebranded their enterprise communications suite under it, then rebranded that and now no one "skypes" anyone anymore. M

Think less as in development tools and more as in content tools, and how hard it is to pick a winner for content (but it's been obvious that content is exploding!). Games and AR/VR are just another form of content. I put some mone

That's no different than normal software engineering. We use version control software (VCS, like git) to deal with it. You can include your results in the tracked source. For what it's worth, using results from outdated source cod

I can't say that the law makes their business untenable because the law hasn't been tested yet. If and when the law shows that these new taxi services can't operate as efficiently before for drivers and consumers then I'

It's really hard to reconcile the fact that we need to build a lot more housing in California with the fact that we can't keep building in places where that housing is going to burn down in the near future. I don't know how l

yikes. "Not injecting people with a drug without their consent" is not the equivalent of "let criminals run amok." I have trouble reconciling the notion that after someone has been restrained to the point where it is con

I'm a bit peeved as a Californian that they had a year to change their model either to onboard their drivers as employees or make them valid contract workers within the law, and chose to screw over their drivers and customers instead.

No I meant that the only difference between a move and a copy under the hood is that the compiler can assume the destination memory overlaps the source. If the struct is large that might mean using a memmove instead of memcpy. I don't

by qppo 6y ago
Move constructors can write into overlapping memory while copy constructors cannot, iirc. I thought that compilers would use this distinction to allow for memmove instead of memcpy in defaulted move/copy constructors even for POD but I

Sorry if I was unclear, the point I wanted to make was that asymptotic behavior is not something you need to worry about because it's unlikely your program will behave asymptotically.

I have the opposite opinion, people focus on Big O too much. Designing for Big O is like designing for scale. For some reason we can recognize that building a system for a billion users doesn't make sense when you have a thousand... me

Anyone remember calling a taxi dispatch over and over? I used to have to call both taxi dispatches in my area (there were only two!) just to guarantee I'd have a cab get me to the airport in time. And you had to pay cash. I think we ca

LA already mandates 1.5 parking spots per unit of housing or something along those lines. And anyone that can afford a car probably has one, and anyone who can afford to move to the suburbs and live with the hellish commutes already has. I

The point is that using macros for constants is frowned upon in modern codebases, just like all other use cases for macros that break type safety and the one definition rule.

Even modern C++ has eschewed macros for virtually every use case, the only reason I've had to use them (legitimately) has been conditional compilation and some compiler/platform specific issues. Like if you're doing #define P

its splitting hairs but not really. Rust's proc macros need to be explicitly invoked using special syntax at the usage site, either by annotating a statement or enclosing a block of tokens. On top of that, they do token replacement (or

Are the cities charging the same taxes to ISPs carrying the actual data delivered by these services? If so the court is probably going to frown on double dipping.

Music theory isn't a set of rules so much as conventions and observations that constantly changes. Pitch naming is one of those that fits both, and it can be subjective. There's some interesting set theoretical approaches to this
