My own empirical evidence suggests that USB-C ports stop holding tightly onto cables after light to moderate use. To be fair, Lightning ports were prone to being clogged with lint, but that was fixable in twenty seconds with a safety pin.

I think you missed GP’s point. The briar patch is a reference to the story of Br’er Rabbit, which involves pretending to object to a punishment that one really doesn’t mind at all (and might even prefer). The GP is suggesting that Apple was

It’s not intentional. The motivations of CPU designers, compiler writers, and optimizers are at odds with those of cryptographers. The former want to use every trick possible to squeeze out additional performance in the most common cases, w

That “battle-tested code” is often still an enduring and ongoing source of bugs. Maintainers have to deal with the burden of working in a 20+ year-old code base with design and architecture choices that probably weren’t even a great idea

Those aren’t arguments for having []byte instead of [32]byte like you think they are. They’re arguments for having an unambiguous IV type that can be constructed from a []byte or [32]byte, or responsibly generated on your behalf. The error-

Bill Clinton hasn’t been relevant in politics for like twenty years. Nobody on the left thinks about or cares about him.

See it seems exceptionally short-sighted to me to continue the race to pull as much carbon out of the atmosphere as possible and put it in the air, but what do I know?

That sounds more like fentanyl (which is widely used as anesthesia for minor surgeries). With fentanyl you'll be awake but loopy and not fully there. Propofol feels like time had an entire section removed with before and after spliced

I am somebody who deeply cares about my commit graph. I want to maintain clean history, and I want to regularly amend previous commits (until merged) in order to tell a coherent story about development. I want to keep unrelated commits on s

I don’t know about you, but I am tired of having to remember the dozens of simple, one-off workarounds to every single thing I want to actually accomplish. A few months back I had to sanitize the commit history of a repo that needed certain

Having a government tax base funded significantly from the exploitation of addictive behavior and siphoning money away from productive consumptive purposes is also bad, but less easy to make a sound bite from.

I am (was) a git expert. I’ve written a git implementation. I’ve used it since shortly after it was first announced. Git has lots of sharp edges that can get hairy or at least tedious really rapidly. You have to keep a ton of random arcan

Git rebase is an enormous pain in the ass. Rebases must be done linearly. And right now ! Oops, you made an error in an earlier stage of the rebase? Start over, good luck! Want to check something from earlier while you’re in the middle?

Stroke survivor here checking in. As I understand it, post-COVID a lot more people are having strokes at younger ages, primarily from PFOs. 10–15% of us are walking around with a small pathway between the atria of our hearts, and if a clo

To play devil’s advocate, you have never seen the night sky. Photoreceptors in your eye have been excited in the presence of photons. Those photoreceptors have relayed this information across a nerve to neurons in your brain which receive t

I apologize, I misread this and thought you were suggesting that $0.05 was significant.

Obviously there is some ludicrous threshold of pay where more people will decide to do some job. But for practical purposes the pay needs to be in line with still being able to price your products competitively in a global marketplace. Ev

I’m sorry but this is a ridiculous take. $0.05/hr is $104 a year for a full-time job. Zero people are going to have that be the tipping point for them to take on a monotonous, often physically draining job that they’d otherwise turn do

Just remember, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

The job being monotonous is clearly enough of a downside that significantly higher pay and benefits are needed to attract talent. Paying higher wages might help retain employees (or not! there are jobs people just won’t keep doing no matt

You can literally just strike the words “state funded” from your sentence. If you don’t think companies function exactly this way, I’m not sure what to tell you. And in a world where every competitor in a given market is owned by one of two

Wait, really? This is kind of surprising to me. Even without adaptive cruise control, I generally spend very few brain cycles paying attention to speed. My speed just varies based on conditions and the traffic flow around me, and I'm v

You're misusing the term "undefined behavior". You can certainly say that these kinds of performance optimizations aren't guaranteed.
