I haven't had any trouble. I'm running an elixir project that I'm testing over localhost, and you don't have to do any port magic whatsoever. Just run the app in WSL and go to localhost:port in your browser. The only pro

I think you still have to clarify what makes baiting bad here. If I hold a sale in my retail store, is that baiting? Is that bad? I don't think so. In this scenario, much of the uproar that happened was developers breaking promises, an

It goes further than that. HPL is already a bad benchmark since it just prioritizes the narrow requirements of HPL(double precision multiplication and bandwidth). HPCC( https://icl.utk.edu/hpcc/ ) is generally regarded t

I think so. Even if it's a little watered down at times, it's nice to have the strong focus on a given topic every time. It's also just nice to be able to go back to specific issues. I like to think of them as discussion star

How do you think all of the startups on here really achieve the "viral" growth they all talk about? Heavily targeted ads have allowed niche businesses to get off the ground and become profitable in a way that was not previously po

Often the money will be given with some agreement to pay it back if the employee leaves before a certain date(and other variations on that theme). It usually compensates for giving up a yearly bonus or the expenses of switching jobs.

Yeah, but this starts to break down when the pharmaceutical representatives can give laundered incentives(fancy "educational" dinners, "educational" yacht parties, etc.) to prescribe their product. In the US, pharma reps

Hey, posting an LMGTFY is basically always extremely condescending and unnecessary. Here's a link that explains the quality of polling in 2016 and talks about some of the misconceptions both before and after the election: https:/

That's absolutely ridiculous. With this logic, any time I implement an interface that I didn't myself make, it's a copyright violation. I shouldn't even consider making something iterable because then Oracle could take m

They did answer the question, and did so in good faith. This comment however is fairly confusing. There's a reason that our government institutions can't perform espionage on anyone they feel like without at least passing through

Oh yeah, I understand. That's why I brought up the last part. Germany did a relatively good job after the war of apologizing for its warcrimes and rooting out the toxic culture that led to them. I was trying to describe the gravity of

Japan invaded the Korean peninsula as well as a sizeable portion of China and enacted horribly cruel war crimes against the citizens of those places. I won't get into details, but this comment would be akin to asking "What's

Really? It looks more like Riot is doing the absolute minimum to make it look like they are actually interested. They won't get rid of forced arbitration for current or past employees, and new employees only get to opt out(I wonder how

Like someone said in another comment, you'll still have existing gas-powered vehicles(current cars, jet aircraft, etc.) for some time, and they have to get that gas somewhere. Better from a net zero source than to add to our carbon deb

If the password is stored in plaintext or can be changed by an admin(in a method other than a reset where the user still sets the new password), we've got other problems.

Yeah, but if you look at the tabs redesign, they're cheating a little. They are using a very busy repo(which most aren't) so the little numbers next to each tab are acting as a divider. Most repos would be really hard to navigate

This would be nice, however, if you were making a printed document like a book.

This is for building a compiler for the language tiny: http://thinkingeek.com/gcc-tiny/ Otherwise, get your hands dirty with a parser generator(PEG parser generators[1] tend to be fairly forgiving). It is pretty easy t

Yeah, for reference, VS Code had just a couple of months prior added editor tabs. The VS Code today is vastly different from the one a year ago.

There really aren't any. The compiler will compile the code the same either way.

I don't really have much out there right now. I have some spec, but it's really out of date. I have done some ML and I would say that while patten matching/powerful type inference are important to the language, in a lot of ot

I've been working on a new programming language mainly to be what I think Go could have been. I think that it is important for us to have a compiled language that feels like a dynamic language. Its taking a lot of influence from ruby,

Yeah, I can understand the appeal of implementing your own, but MIPS itself is very small. There are also a lot of good resources on it, and the spec fits on one page : http://www.mrc.uidaho.edu/mrc/people/jff&#x2F

If your going for a small processor, you should really implement a small subset of MIPS. It is really simple, and you can even compile programs from C and run them on your processor. Some Universities use this as their primary teaching tool

All scripts should be run with "-eu". This prevents unbound variables from ever being used and will end the script on a failed command. If you want commands in the script to fail, just drop the "e" and run with "-u&

I personally haven't found any quite as good as the Bike Shed( http://bikeshed.fm/ ). It does often focus on Ruby, but overall the types of problems they cover are not limited to Ruby in scope. I mainly like it because I

I've used bigscreen before, and while it might be hard to read small text, it is still a really nice app. I don't use the "multiplayer" feature, but what is really nice is to switch up my work environment at home from ti
