The common solution to the flat-cost-per-transaction problem is to use not-money. Do microtransactions with company script, and buy the script in bulk units (eg 100 NYT coins for $5) Which is generally how games do it

The problem is that if you assume case-usage in the design, then the whole thing about it being physically premium materials, smoothly rounded corners and such stops making sense -- you're going to shove it in rubber anyways. The only

Rust’s cargo check appears to be quite fast, and afaik offers no less safety checks than a complete build. Of course, I’ve never verified, but there’s a clear and substantial allocation of time spent compiling rust, after all the safety che

The problem you're really trying to avoid is not knowing that you're subtracting from your savings target. It's too easy for expenditures, especially small ones adding up over time, to grow unbounded without you noticing, a

well, it doesn't omit it; it just applies it to all preceding arguments that didn't have a qualifier, same as normal golang function arguments. It's still being explicit about the constraint being `any`

Not bias; it's fairly solid writing. Hardly a landmark or anything, but the characters actually have character, the plotline has sufficient depth to actually pay attention to (though by no means amazing), and perhaps most importantly o

Is that a problem? Isn’t the usual complaint that foreigners are happy to accept less pay, and h1bs are used to fuel that? You want foreigners to cost more, to incentivize usage of the local population first — and the whole point of the h1b

I don’t understand, isn’t that what I did? Or I suppose, a link to a reply with screenshots of tweets clearly posted to Twitter?

If that’s all you’re looking for, then just check the responses section of the tweets you linked... https://twitter.com/EthanKrue/status/1347374487117946888 (Re-)Storming the whitehouse on Jan 20, planning on twit

This seems nonsensical -- why are the sum of the parts more classified than the individual? If I put together a long list of facts about the XF-42, it's classified, but if I separate each item onto a different page and tell someone els

Design patterns are intended to be a description of patterns found in the wild — that is, it’s descriptive, not prescriptive. Once distilled to their essence, and documented, and named, it becomes possible to efficiently talk about it and r

You're correct -- which is why I've used it as an example of forking for project-control reasons to be perfectly in line with an open-source philosophy.

Sure it is; it’s exactly equivalent to something like forking Linux with the reasoning “I want to be the BDFL now” — eg the nvim fork

From the image, it looks like the loop detection is simply checking whether a line is hit <threshold> times in a row, where threshold defaults to 5000 That is, it’s the same detection you’d apply in any language/scenario, if you

The same arguments apply to FOSS, and can be addressed by all such pre-existing essays, arguments and flame wars. Again, this is just FOSS logic applied to documentation; the fundamentals are still the same. Anyways taking FOSS money-making
