I don't see Bill as doing anything wrong here. Given that he works for Cray on their own Fortran compiler, it seems reasonable that he would be allowed to report bugs in the competing product gfortran but not allowed to actually fix fi

Your perceived inability to follow the advice because you live too close to the poles does not mean the advice itself is wrong, and definitely doesn't mean it's stupid. Many people in similar climates to you use sun lamps during w

I was once involved in my friend's SaaS startup and he got locked out of Facebook ads for having an inactive account and then spending too much money in the first day. "Too much" in this case was a few hundred dollars. Turns

Is COBOL actually memory safe in the same way Rust is memory safe? I thought it was just "we don't allow dynamic allocation", and I'd assume programmers often implement their own half-baked dynamic allocation on top.

I think Android makes a difference here. Sure, a lot of people are on Kotlin, but a lot aren't.

I wonder what the chance of the birthday paradox affecting the music is. Given that y song will make up x% of plays, how likely is it that any song has two consecutive plays, or two plays within an hour?

I agree that it seems a bit pointless unless you're running a huge batch and that I don't think reading from channels in a for loop should be referred to as promises, but I've written CLI tools where running batches of jobs i

When the nerd wiseguy answers anyway, he/she doesn't actually want to disrupt the teacher's flow, he/she finds the ten seconds of complete silence awkward and wants to move on to the next thing. Seriously, it was so anno

I'm not sure what could be going unsaid here. The schizophrenic dad, absent mother, limited and erratic money for food, no adults to do the shopping and cooking, and mentions of programming blogs and escaping poverty all paint a clear

And yet you also understand exactly why Jeremy Clarkson doesn't care about emissions and safety standards, do you not? He is not factually wrong because it is not a factual question. He cares about different things to me, and in most m

The editorial asides in this style of writing don't work for me. I know exactly what "drive a ballet dancer" means and don't find it at all clumsy. While I disagree with him, I also understand exactly why Jeremy Clarkson

Does Rust support the same range of architectures as C? Or is there some way to compile Rust to C to support weird obscure systems? Forgive me if this is something commonly known by the people involved. It just strikes me as the most obviou

"It's like; maybe you should find a hobby" sounds like complaining, or at least criticism, to me. I read the reply as a straw man or weak man argument against tracking stats. I don't think there are many calorie counters

I count calories because I don't want to be fat again, having found fatness limiting. It has absolute nothing to do with meeting an arbitrary number and is not particularly gamified either. I need to track calories because otherwise I&

Do you mean bookshelves as in the place where you put books before, during, and after reading them, or bookshelves as in the online habit of sharing what you've read? I agree that the latter is self-congratulatory but I don't see

I'm aware that most relationships aren't going to last forever, but the friends I have online are notably less cohesive than the friends I used to work with. I make no claims to reasonableness. We are not creatures of pure reason

I am a millennial with a few online friend groups and they're not really the same thing. For me those online relationships are loose and impermanent. People are continuously entering the group and continuously leaving never to be seen

Africa's made up of a lot of countries and some of them have kept homosexuality legal, so the plan was presumably to move the conference somewhere else. There's even a Wikipedia page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#

I bet you don't apply this level of rigorous criticism to books or musicians, even though they occupy time that could be better spent curing malaria or arguing about Ukraine on the internet. Why not?

This has nothing to do with fashion or 2cm long nails, but I'm a man and I sometimes like having my thumbnail around 2mm. It's like having a butter knife on the end of your thumb. You can strip wire, break through thinner plastic
