Today, maybe? I haven't kept up. I'm talking specifically about its launch.

It was given no thought or advertisement or anything. It -feels- like an engineering marathon to make a safe space from Twitter. I don't know that it's a bad effort, but it's one that rose and died seemingly the same day. I

I thought the same thing, but then realize that Threads was a huge flop. Is it really a skill to very quickly release a dud app? I don't know the answer to that. Bypassing bureaucracy seems like heaven, but it feels like it also bypas

There's a difference between saying no and poking the bear. The reply was essentially a middle finger. A simple thanks but not at this time, or no reply at all, would probably have been a safer move. As CEO of a company, you should

They've actually closed schools in my area for 2 days for mass sickness. Weird. I don't remember that ever happening in all my years of school. Maybe it's a recent, post COVID thing?

This is happening in SEA, too. The Chinese show up with a giant ship to some rather remote island, offer a few promises or money in exchange to take a little, and completely ravage what beach exists. I've seen it firsthand. To my kno

In my experience, age of homes in the neighborhood approximately equals age of kids in the neighborhood, +- a few years. And that makes sense if you think of who is typically buying houses en masse as a group - new families. Now, I don&#

Been there, done that, hopefully not again :). I was hoping 'little city' would have indicated, but I should have specified, there is never enough traffic here to move the estimates much. Speed limit is 35ish the whole way.

I love the idea, but the data seems a bit off. I tested it in my little city, where I'm < 14 minutes by car from the grocery. It's actually a little quicker, but I'm going by Google Maps estimates. Setting a criteria of

How would you have designed it? An internal byte array instead of a pointer?
732.
by silisili 2y ago
Slices are passed only by value. It's just that the value is a struct containing a reference to the data. Once one understands that, the rest makes perfect sense. I can see why it trips up newcomers, but it feels pretty basic otherwi

IIRC, and I might not because it's been many years now, all one had to do was install gstreamer-plugins-ugly. Sure it wasn't obvious, but a quick search should have revealed that?

That's both a misleading headline and a really odd unit of measurement. So odd that I wouldn't be surprised if the US adopted it as the official unit of measurement of microplastics (I kid, as an American).

Noticed that too. The two rural towns near me bans any poultry with under 5 acres, which is essentially the entire town. Luckily I live right outside their limits. RE: roosters, a lot of cities that permit backyard chickens do not allow r

Ah yes, typically suburbs. Cities that adopt it generally have regulations around it, such as needing an inspection and nominally priced permit. The inspection just makes sure it's sanitary and follows certain rules about distance fro

My local sellers are $4/doz for the good ones, $5/18 from another seller whose eggs taste 'off' so I quit buying them. I think $4/doz for quality eggs is worth it. This is also hopefully a catalyst to get people to

Go does this too. I generally like the idea a lot, as long as it's consistent. The one thing I don't like is the inconsistency. Not sure about C#, but in Go for example ranging strings ranges over runes, but indexing pulls a sin

I think they deserve much more, if for nothing else than because their career is age limited. And it's not like they can go work somewhere else with their career skills at that point. Pensions exist, but it's really a career you

I'm skeptical of the implementation, given iMessage. I'm sure Android users RSVPs will show up in a green toxic fume cloud or some such.

Fidelity has great features, but is hamstrung by their awful execution. The app is clunky, slow, and looks like something from the 90s. Just logging in takes an average of 10-15 seconds. The credit card is serviced by Elan, who is awful,

Sorry if I missed something, but was it really resolved? AFAICT they likely ID'd the man, but not really anything else about the bizarre case. The note, the clothes labels, the cipher, etc.

This is basically what every human on Earth wants. Which is why the entire west coast is so expensive, because it's about the only place in the US that fits that bill.

Thanks, that's interesting. I never thought to look it up before. Though most people I've worked with for some reason insist on pronouncing and sometimes spelling it as 'depreciated', which I guess makes a little sense

There's a meme that goes as such: Step 1: It's not really happening Step 2: Yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal Step 3: It's a good thing, actually I feel like this thread has fast tracked the steps. I don

I'm sure I've already made tons of not so friendlies in this thread, why not more. Why not just cut and run on social security? I've paid in my whole life and probably won't even take a cent from it. We realize it&#x27

Two points. First, that's not true. Ignoring COVID, it keeps going up, slowly but surely. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYONGDA188S Secondly, why does the government need to spend to match GDP? The more pro

OK, now do spending?

Certainly. I for one am curious how this turns out. I give it an 80% chance of failing spectacularly, 20% chance of 'wow, we were wasting that much money?' The fact is the federal government seems to grow and spend without any li
