In most cases, you can send to a mailing list without subscribing, and people will include your email when they respond. I've filed multiple bugs this way. It was as easy as sending an email and attaching a patch.

Not great, not terrible; the language supports annotations which mean nothing to the compiler but which pre-processors can take advantage of, and there is a framework called ppx which you can use to write your own preprocessor. There exist

I think you meant it fit on 3.5” floppy drive (1.44 MB). Fitting on a 1.44 foot floppy disk would be much less impressive :P

I don't understand. The population in wealthy countries is growing very slowly. https://datacommons.org/tools/timeline#&place=country/USA&st... What makes you say that housing costs are the cause? I&#

Are there any professions in European countries that are paid as well as US tech workers, for similar levels of skill and/or education? Moreover, if EU tech companies are not willing to pay the best software/hardware engineers w

I reinstall every 2 years or so simply to re-evaluate what tools I have and decide if I really want them enough to install and configure them again. It's part of the reason I resist systems like Nix, Guix, or even dotfile management to

I do this as well with my wife of 10 years, although it's not something we agreed upon -- it just ends up happening in lieu of or in addition to a birthday/anniversary/valentine/whatever gift. Agreed on all points.

As a googler, I agree with this. Blaze itself is not that remarkable. What makes it good is that it is the only tool you need to use to build anything, in any language, in Google's monorepo, and that build failures are (usually) aggres

It's really nice to have these discussions in person with the person sitting next to you. That's probably what I missed the most during the pandemic--impromptu code/design discussions. Screen sharing works but it's less

The German chain (I think?) Espresso house has always served me a decent Americano, and they're pretty widespread in Europe. The worst espresso (machiatto) I ever had was from Fabrique in Stockholm. It tasted like straight vinegar.

If you run hotter, wouldn't you feel less hot? Since your normal temperature would be that much higher than the ambient temperature. At least, when I have a fever I feel cold, even though I'm hot.

While I agree we should not assume a cdn is necessary, as far as user traffic is concerned, not all seconds are created equal. Those pesky users have a habit of making requests at the same time, like they're in cahoots with one another

Are the "pictures under glass" interfaces critiqued in the article really any better for those who cannot use their hands? I have full use of my hands, so I am not sure, but the few people I know with limited hand control use some

I believe there was one of these, or a device very much like it, in Google's headquarters in mountain view, as part of a wrap-around google earth display that lets you zoom around 3d space.

It works both ways —- they get their competitors’ R&D too. Plenty of companies seem to be OK with using GPL2-licensed Linux, why wouldn’t qemu be the same?

I've been thinking about simulations of public infrastructure. For example, a game where you manage the international ingress at an airport. You design the queuing patterns, decide how many booths to staff, what to ask the travelers. Y

Hah, I thought of the mosquito game too, but for some reason I thought it initially was released on the Dreamcast. But I can't find any mention of that.

MQL is an improvement over the internal language, IMO. There are some missing features around literal tables, but otherwise the language is more consistent and flexible.

> still no connection tracking! Seriously? Is it not possible to have stateful firewall rules for IPv6 traffic? Or is it just NAT that won't work (I don't care about NAT, NAT can die)? I was considering getting a microtik route

Path discovery is agnostic of the transport protocol. Once an IP datagram with the "Don't Fragment" bit set reaches a device that cannot forward it because it is too large, the device must send an ICMP error back to the origi
