Awful interface. I have to click three times and scroll to see code in a tiny font, the name of the function is repeated on the page like 7 times.

In the short term maybe. More long term and generally, there are going to be 400 million people living in America, over the lifespan of Amazon the entity, the lifespans of its employees and shareholders, all three will have to interact with

It's a long term play where the pay off is living and raising your children in a slightly nicer world, not expressed directly in a dollar amount.

Millions of lives became a smidge more interesting because they got to see, think, talk and be outraged by this guy crashing a plane into a remote mountain range on purpose. As a society we can afford things like this if they're a one-

This extension is asking me to write two clang commands (through a very basic UI) to compare their output and requires clicking and waiting to see changes instead of running on every keystroke, so it's not quite like Compiler Explorer.

I worked for a company of ex-Googlers that used Bazel with Python/Django a few years ago. - It copies your files into a temporary directory to run them and that directory is named an obnoxiously long hash digest, so it effectively take

I've never understood what people see in this story. Meat is a complex organization of trillions of self-replicating machines, each of which (besides red blood cells maybe) is also incredibly complex... much more advanced than anythin

If you want to use uBlock Origin on iOS, there's Orion browser. Enabling extensions and installing uBlock Origin on it requires a tedious step and the app is noticeably slower to respond and just overall worse and buggier than Safari,

The internet is telling me that Taiwan uses both calendars. Is that not true? Surely even your grandparents know that it's 2023 in the rest of the world. It's irrelevant to my point though. Just because the standard is used by 99%

That list includes things like the "British Regnal year" and its mostly historical calendars that aren't used at all... The real items on it are almost all ceremonial calendars and everyone (who isn't a priest) uses the

We count years from year 1, but seconds from 1970? It's just illogical, arithmetic has nothing to do with it.

I would say it's a secular international standard of Christian origin, similar to how "information" is an English word even if it's actually a French word. The origin of concepts is important but usage is what ultimately

It should be 63835596800 (63.8 billion) because it was kind of self-centred to start counting from 1970 instead of year 1. It doesn't make sense to make memorizing a 4 digit number a prerequisite to becoming a programmer.

An application launcher adding like 20 billion CPU instructions of overhead to every application's launch is just incompetence. And on macOS it's 34 seconds. It's really Microsoft/Apple's fault. Their app stores com

Checking the file size first is good, but reading every byte of every file that has at least one file of matching size and and doing a ton of XOR steps (or whatever BLAKE3 is) for all those bytes can't be optimal when different files p

You're saying people shouldn't be able to buy 8GB RAM Macs, which is crazy. I had to check how much memory my laptop has, and it's 8GB and I've never noticed. I guess you're just complaining about what you get for t
