As someone from the Netherlands, I was surprised how expensive the local supermarkets in the US are (and also that they don't include taxes in the price labels). I still remember that over 10 years ago, one banana and one granola bar c

My point is, maybe labelling everything you do a failure is not that good for you, mentally. I think this is somewhat ingrained in US culture, and I wouldn't be surprised if this is at least one of the causes for the mental health cris

> "Failure" is the norm. It's what happens nearly every time, all the time. That feels like a very unhealthy perspective on life to me (that seems to be quite common in the US). For example, if you write a book, that can b

That looks surprisingly smooth for something not running on a GPU. What clock speed is it running on? Also, what resources can you recommend for writing your own GCC backend?

> they didn't intent to question your identity. Of course, but, to give you a sense why I felt so annoyed, the conversation went something like this: > What is your last name sir? "de Bakker" > That name is invalid.

An employee of a major US airline had the audacity to declare my last name invalid, and literally made me pick a different name that "the system" would accept. My last name literally only uses ASCII characters, not even dashes or

I think they mean the case where a and b are variables for which you don't know the values.

What do you mean, half a bit? A typical base50 encoder would use 50 characters, so say 309 would get encoded as 69 (309 = 6 * 50 + 9 * 1).

Yeah, great idea, let's adopt it. Then in three years from now juniors can add "tab management" to their "to learn" list and get into flamewars which "tab management" tool or plugin is the best.

> it’s unlikely you haven’t used at least some JS Sure, but it all boils down to what exactly is ranked right? "Percentage of programmers that has used at least some of this programming language." is probably not a criterium.

Yes, I didn't read properly. I guess you could do some magic to delete "unexpected" files, but are there tools which do solve this problem?

What exactly is gross and dirty about them? I have never thought about them that way (but I don't use them because they generally only have overpriced unhealthy crap).

Well, that sucks, but Apple had it coming. Try developing an iOS app without spending a shitton of money on overpriced Apple hardware.

That last 1% sounds like a godawful lot of work. With this attitude, you can never call something "done", and I deeply hate this notion of "things that are never finished". Like "you are never done learning C++&quot

I am not saying it makes the articles bad, I'm just saying that the titles are clickbaity and annoy me.

This. Stack overflow contains many diamonds. We just can't find them anymore because Google randomly decided to stop being a proper search engine at some point.

I agree with the sentiment but must admit that titles like "everything programmers should know about X" absolutely annoy me as well.
