It's mostly a joke. We can't even get ecological clearance to build medium density housing in most of the area, let alone blow up a couple mountains. What can happen is slow encroachment into the bay from the sides. It's alre

I vote we dig up the mountains and fill in the bay with the dirt. Take care of the shortage of land and fire risk at the same time. Let the masses flow back into affordable housing in the new interburbs between the peninsula and East Bay

These specific claims are flaky at best but hard to argue over since anyone can construct enough cases for or against their position to be right enough not to change their opinion of C. You can absolutely beat C in everything you list. And

Language designers are pretty clever people and understand a great deal about the successes and failures of languages. I think if you look at a lot of what Rust is doing today (and C++ yesterday, for better or worse) you'll see a lot o

credit reporting agencies != credit reporting itself. An unaccountable private enterprise should not have access to my financial information, let alone three of them. I feel that's the domain of a governmental agency with far less acce

More specifically here the humans in the process are the credit reporting agencies, which shouldn't exist at all and neither should systems to keep them up to date. I've also seen automation fail spectacularly because of inconceiv

I get that, but the related issues are all from multiple independent parties trying to prove it without incentives to be accurate.

I think the question is a bit more specific in the context of the halting problem We know by contradiction that we cannot write a program that determines if any program halts, if the program being checked also contains the program that dete

> Automation is not a good thing when it comes to credit reporting I only agree in the sense that there are no good things when it comes to consumer credit reporting in the United States. This is just an example of systemic problems that

Yes, and hospitalization numbers are one case statistic. That's a "why should we lockdown" and not "what metrics do we use to decide how hard to lock down"

The lockdowns (if you could call them that, they're a joke) are driven by case statistics. If the cases go down the lockdowns will stop.

Fairchild showed the critical mass is one, as long as employees of that one business are free to go spawn their own. Being pro-worker is not being anti-business, but it is an explicit reframing of policy initiative.

You can buy a helicopter. They're expensive, loud, and dangerous. The noise is really bad and one of the reasons I'll vote against any local ordinance that would make heli-transit more available.

Crossfade editing is pretty important when doing cuts. Synchronizing audio to video is also pretty important and hard to do if you're not familiar with it, and also the most common task I've been asked to help people with (example

My XPS with Linux (installed by dell, no customization except for user space packages) will freeze/stall about twice a day and needs to be rebooted with the power button, losing all unsaved work. Dell does not offer any support for thi

My pet theory is that a lack of non-whitespace separators heavily discourages clever one-liners or compact sequences of operations and forces the programmer to write more readable code.

This is how I feel about a healthy majority of flat UI design today (and almost the every example of neumorphism or widget with animations). Eye candy happens when UI designers make something for a slide show demo and neither the designer o

I'm thinking less in cost per slide and more what it would cost to hire a design consultant at a day rate. Sure if you have no runway and are looking for seed money you'd be strapped, but for a series A you can probably afford a f

In my experience the reason this is done is because customer acquisition is manual and the "schedule a demo" button is used for lead generation, and the reason it's all manual is because onboarding/support is high touch

Quick word though, if you have issues with dell software on Linux you're SOL even if you pay for software support. Dell does not offer any paid support for Linux machines they sell or software they distribute on them.
