Except they are not even in the same ballpark. Nobody is denying fusion can be done, but if you told me moon landing tickets were available to the general public I would say you were lying. It is not an engineering problem, they haven'

Big if. Chemical problems seem harder than nuclear ones. Less absolute science, more a matter of getting lucky.

I'm not saying it can't happen, but those fuel pellets are awfully expensive to make. Even if you fix all the other issues (laser efficiency, actually generating all the energy that was released - the blanket needs to absorb and p

Multline edit obvs is good, I find regexp generally better in more complex scenarios. Main problem obvs is getting every non blank line. The rest of the workflow is ofc what I'd already do, you can do this with any number of tools thes

Because people want to believe in the magical AI - they want something for nothing and have yet to grasp not only are they unable to change the immutable laws of the universe (something will not come for nothing), but they are willfully bli

Is the primary motivator to do this? I'm curious if they are stealing anything else, e.g. are they selling ads/tracking, do they replace order forms with their own...

If you can limit yourself to exactly one, maybe two external deps, which are really just to make your dev life eaiser, you may have something of a point. You have to remember that a large chunk of "web apps" means "electron a

Crazy theory - Big Bank is behind it. Maybe they employed SBF, maybe they actually infiltrated and exploited a badly run company. No proof, just an idea.

Who holds the exchanges to those KYC/AML standards, though? I don't think they get regular audits like normal banks...correct me if you know different.

I'm not defending him, but I'd reserve judgment until after I see the analysis of what exactly happened. 7 bill sent to Binance and random VC is plausible at least, but it sounds like the money vanished (it doesn't vanish, so

"Should racing games counter Cronus by removing difficult corners that rely on predictable turns?" Your argument is that games are bad so they should have serious restrictions on them to make them stay bad.... This is nonsense. Ga

Right to trial is a thing, though. The claim that the majority of bans are happening over racist epithets is unfounded, and honestly probably so much hogwash/bunk. Activision/Blizzard aren't courts of law, but they do represe

"Then why buy the game?" While I agree you "shouldn't" buy the game, we shouldn't even be giving legitimacy to these practices at all. We generally try to prosecute snake-oil salesmen, shutdown hucksters, put c

It's still your platform, though. "License" is not a contract, you paid them not the other way around. What they are doing is probably illegal nevermind immoral. I.e. it is a form of slavery, which I guess you are paying for?

That's not what declarative is, though, "imperative" or OO frameworks have layout managers (too). There is some confusion, i.e. a spectrum (declarative first or imperative first, somewhere in the middle), about what is meant

For (long running) data stream workloads, JIT does have an auto-profiler benefit. It doesn't preclude writing code well.

Eh, I don't think it has to do with being "hand crafted". I think the notion of declarative is some flawed bunk - to tell the framework "what" to do you need to specify "how" - removing the how and pretend

Unless your code is actually commented out (actually dropped from the program), it can still (maybe) execute. I think the main reason for this is an if(testSomeState()) { //code with UB } block being optimized to just //

Burnt out programmers take up crafts/hobbies, burnt out gamers do, I don't know, drugs? And burnt out lawyers? Sow mayhem or become philanthropists?

That's what a lot of software work is like, though, or at least it trends that way. Something is too complex so let's make it simple, too simple so let's make it complex, wait scratch that the whole thing needs rewritten...

Exactly, it's not for us at all. This tech is not a quality of life enhancer at all, it's our competition as a species...but then again if we are really this stupid maybe we (well, you lot) deserve to die at your robot overlords h

I think the even more absurd rec is to use 160 bits as a "sweet spot"? Why? Who said that? Which real world scenarios? Why not 159 or 161... Then you realize the author is just talking out their rear end with no thought... "Y

On the flip side UUIDs are great as non-cryptographic identifiers... It's easy to get and for any non sec application nearly impossible to replicate.

Software never goes stale, it's the environment around it which stales. Something from the 70s works perfectly fine, except it can't run on anything bare any longer, and the hard drives etc. have all long since failed or their PSU

In addition macOS probably means macbook, where they either don't have drive bays or only dvd drive bays.

Laptops partially fixed this issue - you can just skip the bad parts. Higher end dvd players used to do the same, but players are a vanishing breed and consoles are not much more than dumb players usually. Ofc it would be nice if there were

The concept of primary actions is the dark pattern - as a general concept, maybe it's useful to have tiers of actions by complexity, picking actions for your users is the dark pattern. Using color to differentiate actions is OK, if y
