Presumably the back end could tell the client not to check again for some amount of time. Sounds similar but different to cache TTLs, as those are passive.

How do you take delivery of such huge volumes? Rail?

That's what they'd be trying to figure out.

How did you find this video from 2013 with (as of writing) 290 views, and with it not mentioning Essex or accents at all?

Shellcode is usually weirdly formed native machine code, typically written in a "return-oriented programming" style, that can be inserted with a buffer overflow and somehow jumped to. But usually not bytecode .

OCaml and Go are not considered systems programming languages, in part due to having required heavy runtimes and garbage collection.

This is the thing that people don't realize about middle-era consoles. It was the shift where commodity PC hardware was competing well with console hardware. Today in 2025 the only possible advantage is maybe in a specific price categ

The GP gave a good reason that directly explains why biodiversity is useful to humans: > we're losing access to genetic diversity that could be exploited now or in the future for medical treatments, innovations in science, etc.

Yeah the units cancel, that's the issue. The phrasing implies that after half a day it's received 85k terawatts which doesn't make any sense. Power (kg m^2 / s^3) * Time (s) = Energy (kg m^2 / s^2) Now from context

In the academic community the term still has a useful meaning and is often used appropriately in those circles. But you could substitute neoreactionary in GP and it would still be referring to real bloggers that are treated as if they'

This is a surprisingly common mistake with temperature readings. Especially when the system has a thermal safety power off that triggers if it's above some temperature, but then interprets -1 deg C as actually 255 deg C.

Do we know what's included in the Google releases. I'm assuming it's for notifications and some related packages.

Like most articles that make strong assertive statements like this, it's an oversimplification. Every tool has its place. The author clearly wants to use SQL, and seems to have a problem that would benefit from it, so they should use

> Curiously, they had a solution of sorts in a program where you could basically bid for your own ad buys to remove ads from pages. For some reason they shuttered this program down. Because in reality this is just an opt in donation to G

You can't expect the user to remember upfront what language the tool they're using was written in and context switch the style they're expressing their intents in based on that. The Go community has consistently shown it&#x2

It's insane. I don't understand what could possibly be the justification there.

You do it with the waves inverted otherwise the delay would have to be dynamic and frequency dependent.

Sure, but I would argue that those are concepts that have existed for millennia and has real material grounding in reality. Whereas intellectual property is entirely a fictional construction. At its core, owning property involves the abili

Yes, this has always been the case. This is why capital holders are actively hostile to labor organizing and tend to back fascism when liberalism falls into crisis.

by treyd 2y ago
Intellectual property isn't real. It's a fiction we constructed to try to control expression in order to allow extraction of profit from ideas. We had to keep exceptions like expiration and "fair use" to make it not ab

Rich type systems like Rust's do completely prevent this type of mistake. You don't need unit tests to ensure that the error condition is handled somehow because we statically assert it within the type system of the language.

by treyd 2y ago
In Rust you have to explicitly state that you're ignoring the error. There is no way to get the value of an Ok result without doing something to handle the error case, even if that just means panicking, you still have to do that exp
