They have another great positive effect: they are not sugar. Sugar in excess is one of the most harmful things you can consume.

Usually the corporate needs differ too much and they end up keeping their own fork anyway. Netflix has the resources to maintain this. It's probably more a PR move for their hiring division.

Let's hope their extension V3 proposal dies the same way.

There is so much stuff Chrome sends to Google though. I was curious how their autofill implementation works and... there is code to send a list of all form and field names to a Google API. That alone could be sensitive information.

Ray tracing might be eye candy, but fast streaming of assets from SSD enables experiences not possible before (large scale open world, super fast movement a la Spiderman, instant teleportation). GPU-powered dynamic lighting and LOD is also

It feels like async is popular and necessary but just not that good fit for rust. Having it is better than not having it I suppose....

Absolutely it's a failure of process. But sometimes people just don't pay attention. Hiring inobservant or reckless people is a risk multiplier.

I have it disabled and at the very least I have to type my location in every time on desktop because it doesn't track frequently visited places locally

You made a great alternative suggestion, but I don't think the dismissive comment at the end was needed. Some people are thinking "I can't imagine having to use an app to change my bulb's brightness"

In my apartment in Japan the living room light came with a remote and I can easily dim it, turn it on or off, or set it to a dim night light. Having only used traditional switches I have to say it's very convenient especially in bed. I

I use Perl full time and I know what they've added, but it's not a lot if you compare to other languages such as Python. Lexical filehandles were added in 2002. 'say' is just print except it adds a newline. Function sign

Serious answer: * the module system literally just runs a script, so it can do -anything-. As a result there are 3 or 4 competing install systems all with their own cruft, some defined entirely using Perl as config, some using YAML. You nee

Perl requires a 'use version' statement otherwise your code can't use anything added since ~15 years ago. Python has no such system, so it's hard to know if the code is going to work on any given version of python. The c

You need 3 months of training, code reviews and heavy linting!

Even if python's implementation was bad (which it isn't) it's still better than perl. Perl doesn't even try to implement those things natively.

same in the UK actually. The supermarkets Tesco, Aldi and Lidl are frequently pronounced as Tescos, Aldis and Lidls.

Absolutely perl's backward compatibility is amazing and makes other languages look like a joke. But it is arguably holding the language back from changing in any meaningful way.

Switch modules have been around for years. There's Moo and Try::Tiny too. Some of this stuff should really be part of the language by now. Same with exporting functions.

Perl has a huge amount of terrible design decisions and low hanging fruit, yet it has barely improved over 20 years. While python got dataclasses and type checking perl got... a few syntax upgrades many of which never left experimental and

Good. Since KakaoTalk refuse to issue bug bounties to non-Koreans, hopefully they'll change their mind when a bunch of hackers destroy their infrastructure.

Singapore has the most expensive meat in Asia ( https://www.picodi.com/sg/bargain-hunting/meat-prices-2023 ) and I guess depends mostly on Malaysia for fresh meat. They're also big on future-proofing and envi

Your comment sounds good for overland rail, bus, event tickets, airlines etc and indeed QR is common. But for subway/metro, during rush hour throughput it is important to able to tap an RFID almost instantly. QR is too slow and error-p

I own this cable. You literally put the cable in the left side at an orientation that has the display facing upwards. I feel like I'm missing something! It's bidirectional so you can just twist the cable so the display is facing u

Useful for lots of things - my earbuds have a really vague charging light, but if it says 0.00w I know it's done. I have a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with a dodgy connection too, and it lets me know it's actually charging.

USB-C has no orientation so I don't understand. You can just flip the cable.
