When "Antifa thugs" call for the police in Saxony, you can be sure that whoever they are dealing with acted very bad.

You can skip the leap year info completely if you consider both January and February as belonging to the previous year. That makes sense as the additional day (Feb 29) is at the end of Februry. Last year Pi Day was Thursday, this year Satur

Why is it misleading? If you export as much as you import, then you have no trade deficit.

Yeah, he does recommemd to host the fonts yourself. I guess that renders the point that the users already have them cached moot...?

Keyboards, if you don't have special requirements, are cheap and easy to get. I prefer using US layout keyboards everywhere, so I don't have to remember to ignore labels (such as the braces which are shifted by one place). Then us

Ok, but how is a domain name essentially different from 'any form of text string'? There needs to be some central registry, unless you are ok with such long strings that nobody will effectively double check, that they are correct.

I heard this argument a few times now. But are domain names not important for internet security? Https certs prove that the entity you expect communicates with you, given that you know the domain name of that entity.

I think you read it wrong. The time to throttle is the time it took to go to 1GHz for the first time. The load is applied for 600s and then disabled, at which point the CPU goes to 600MHz due to lack of work.

Also, buying the same house 6 years later means probably paying more for the same house. And you have to live somewhere in the meantime as well.

Well, independent of it being a personal choice, I guess there are some questions we as a society need to answer: Do we want women to have children? Do we want to allow women with children to work? If yes, are we willing to make the changes

The lines between marketing and "passively posting" are very blurry, especially in the tech world. Is Linus T. marketing, when in a technical presentation about git he says "if you like SVN you might wanna leave"? Is Moz

Autocomplete is one thing. Getting a list of suggestions is more important, because you might not know the name of the function.

What about if I put an encrypted backup of my phone into some online storage and factory reset it? Probably not a workable solution for frequent travelers.

Most coding interview challenges I came along are of limited complexity. I think it is important to clarify that reading, discussing the spec, writing tests a priori is something you would do in a real world coding task, but interviewers ar

> Germany is deconstructing itself by [...] ignoring millenium problems in governance, such as unchecked mass migration. What are you talking about? Germany is 25% immigrants, the US is close to 100% immigrants.

Exactly. Imagine how their mind would be blown when evaluating sin(1000pi), which is exactly 0 with the taylor series of sin(x) centered around x=0.

I don't love this trick. To get this to work, they had to typedef the string type to char*, which means the API will also accept any normal string and probably crash at runtime. So to get this little convenience feature, type safety wa

I think the problem with Pascal's strings wasn't that they stored a length. The problem was that every string variable always occupied 256 bytes of RAM and no string could ever be bigger than 255 characters.

Inflation. So I guess it is like taxing everyone who holds cash in the currency that the government is printing with a flat tax.

I guess this is a nitpick of limited vs. fixed. Even if you grow the stack, at some point you can't grow anymore.

Oh, that is simple: in associative containers, you can pass an external comparator as additional template parameter. Use that. Don't implicitly convert, it will bite you.

In Germany everyone who sells batteries has to take them back as well. I thought that was the case everywhere...? Also throwing alkalines into the trash doesn't sound right.
