Nobody is perfect. I wish we'd stop trying to find reasons to hate everyone who is celebrated, or we'll never celebrate anyone.

I'm torn on this. Initially I agreed, just because so many other languages do it that way. But if you ignore that and clean slate it, IMO, 1 based makes more sense. I feel like 0 based mainly gained foothold because of C's bastar

At this point, this is an application level problem and not something the kernel should be silently doing for you IMO. An option for legacy systems or known problematic hosts fine, but off by default and probably not a per SOCKOPT. Every m

Agreed with this sentiment. The average American doesn't care about any of this. Why would they? You have someone working 40+ hours a week to just barely be able to afford a dumpy apartment, with no real prospects or signs of escape

One thing both Robinhood and Revolut offer, which I wish was mandatory, is that they detect when on a phone call and their banking apps put a banner on the top warning they are not calling the user and to not give out any information. A sma

This is fascinating. My uncle was a pilot, and I asked him 15 years or so ago about the job. He was going on and on about computers and autopilot, claiming that pilots were only really needed anymore for takeoffs and landings, and they cou

Yeah, I usually shy away from these threads because any hint of politicism drives tribalism and people assuming whatever I said is on the enemy side, whatever that is. I just wanted to get more informed thoughts and opinions. In any event,

I've not been keeping up with the news lately though I'd heard about this in passing. Was this tipped off from prior investigations wrapping up finally, or the current federal gov's hatred of Walz and Omar? I mainly ask beca

It's really contextual so... maybe? A good comment that just happens to do it once, likely not. But OP saw it multiple times in a short time from the same user, so probably. Constant self promotion is what is hurting so many other pla

Not a mod, but I do hope you flag comments like that. Dang is awesome, but it is user moderation that makes a giant difference.

I have always disliked ads, but this has slowly grown into outright unreasonable anger as the years go. I just cancel anything I'm paying for that shows intrusive ads. I was a little worried about cancelling Amazon Prime at first, but

Not OP... all I could come up with is they didn't remember US east vs east US, so landed on EU2 meaning 'east US 2.'

Not for nothing, but I'm not sure that's a great metric. Venezuela for instance is 178, and it doesn't seem like an overly happy place to be these past few years.

So if I have a vehicle with let's say 250 miles of range, you want me to let it get to 100 miles at least left to drive 100 miles to the charger, then drive 100 miles back, leaving me with 50 miles of range until I have to do it again?

I agree with this. I remember when Gnome 3 came out, there were a lot of legitimate complaints that were handwaved away by the developers as "doesn't work well on a mobile interface", despite Gnome having approximately zero

I like this. I hope this thread fills with many more comments. I think it's important to remember especially in traffic and such that cars aren't cars, they are people. I have no idea the real ratios, but imagine 20% are genuine

Well I'm for one glad it did. Never heard of this book, but it sounds interesting enough (and not just because of the potato paragraphs) that I just ordered a copy. Thanks!

Oh wow, I felt like I was reading my own kid's writing for a moment, as this is very much our situation. They get tired of hearing my long-winded tangents of potatoes being the ultimate food, and of course, my particular affection for

Agreed. I'm not sure at what point it must have way overcorrected. Most if not every single thing I was taught in school that a lot members of this group did/invented turned out to be an exaggeration or outright lie, I came to fi

Same. I'm genuinely confused by all the comments of 'ah man, this is holding me back' in this thread, and folks claiming it's not possible to do any arena tricks in Go. I'm not sure if these are just passerbys, or

You can, for some things, but it's a rather ugly process. I've mainly used it with slices and strings. So not useless, but certainly not full featured or simple.
266.
by silisili 11mo ago
I'm a bit split on this one. Simple arenas are easy enough to write yourself, even if it does make unidiomatic code as the author points out. Pretty much anything that allocates tons of slices sees a huge performance bump from doing t

Ah! I hadn't considered that, thanks. That makes way more sense - having read the article I couldn't figure out what was being said here otherwise.

It's late, but I'm having a hell of a time parsing this. Could you explain what you meant?

America has famously bad government everything. Everything they touch becomes a jobs program for the least qualified. Every comedian jokes about the DMV and TSA because they're the ones most people deal with regularly, but it's
