Yeah these discussions always give me a bit of cognitive dissonance. On one hand, I like owning my software or content I purchased (talking about DRM) On the other, people expect most things to be a "live service" in terms of upda

I think the intent was to be like a wiki/knowledge base, but I agree with your and GPs sentiment though. Aside: is there a wiki platform for things like these? I know there's fandom wikis which feels like the wrong platform for th

Most developers I've worked with who were complaining again containerisation and kubernetes never had to deploy code or only had to deploy code to one or two manually set up VPSs. They'd usually always be the most vocal about how

I've used a similar technique to implement one of the graphs for small "header dashboard" for a trading tool at my previous job. It was replacing an old decrepit tool and I wanted to add some pizzaz to the tool, and had an ob

I realise you posted this as a joke, but the first time I saw this, I was so confused. I thought the comment was starting with "I anal" before I read the rest of the post only to compute it means "I Am Not A Lawyer"

It seems that's not allowed currently, if I'm reading it right. I'm not sure I like `-` very much. The reason why I don't like it is because of how double-click to select and line breaking works for the dash. Maybe allow

I never realised older scientific equipment even has interfaces for plugging in third party tools! I'm curious, how often do you actually have to make stuff that interfaces with older lab equipment when developing new equipment. And a

I think that the idea (before they add the memoization that the docs mention) is that this only serves as a way to name a computation, so you don't have to litter the same logic in multiple places but can instead just call the lambda i

People have this misconception that unsafe Rust is some other language. It's not. All it does is allow the use of raw pointers. So, all other Rust feature (ie type system) still work as they always did. So, you can really minimia the s

There's some research that shows that microdosing psilocybin isn't nearly (or at all) as effective as taking a regular dose. "Heroic" doses seem most promising from the neurological/neuroplasticity aspect, but yeah

Not to mention that due to tolerance build up, you can't take LSD/psilocybin too often. And also, they don't "make you" wanna take them often either. This might be anecdotal, but even though they can be fun, but the

Email this to Dan Brown; he'll polish up the plot and write a novel about it. Skim some royalties from the top and you'll have a great passive income, maybe even be rich!

I agree with you that IQ tests are kinda useless. Also ,I think its a misconception that IQ tests test intelligence. Taking the test depends on many external and internal factors. Mood, how rested and sated you are, how comfortable you are

Honestly, the language and the community are mostly great. There's a few outliers that aggressively want to draw attention to themselves (which is inherently narcissistic). That's not something that's unique to Rust in partic

The Novellas are amazing! So, I definitely recommend them. I loved The Churn personally, because I really enjoyed finding out more about Amos. I'd recommend reading all the books anyway. They flow quit differently to the show, even if

Overall I agree that Wikipedia is largely neutral, and I'm sure great effort is put into it, but we are all human and everyone has biases. It's just whether we're aware of them or not, and even if you're aware of a bias,
