Mixed unit durations are in ISO 8601, so the idea has had at least some scrutiny: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations One place i have run into confusion is being able to express a given span of time in mu

I think they meant by price, not by quality. And there's nothing wrong with Eastern European food anyway!

Hold on though, that's not 1970s pebble dash, that's 1920s pebble dash, that was on the house when it was built (ish - seems that area was built up between 184 and 1914). The house is in a conservation area, which means you'v

I lived there as a graduate student and then as a non-finance software engineer for about fifteen years. I liked it, as did dozens of my friends. It's absolute fantasy to call it a shitshow.

I do something similar in Java by taking a java.time.Duration in any method dealing with time. We don't have the snazzy literal syntax, but that means users have to write: someMethodDealingWithTime(Duration.ofMillis(10)); someMet

If you're going to work it out per options contract, then you spend $18, and get to sell 100 shares at $88. 100 * $88 / $18 is still 488x. (This number is large because Walmart is not going to go bust in the next few days! It serv

I do wonder if there's a way to reuse engines without reusing whole rockets, that could wind up cheaper. Pop the engine out of the rocket with some small fuel tanks, spin round and do a retro burn, then ... somehow land. I have not wor

The whole post feels like it came from a parallel universe. People adopted microservices because stack traces are too long! Exposing the implementation details of a function in its type signature is good! The most meaningful way to specify

On a tangent: has anyone built an active cooling system which operates in a partial vacuum? At half atmospheric pressure, water boils at around 80 C, which i believe is roughly the operating temperature for a hard-working chip. You could pu

Hey, we're building artificial general intelligence, what's a little perpetual motion on the side?

Right, but the price of the put is much less than the price of the stock, and the price of the put is the denominator. Right now, Walmart is at $91.34, and you can buy a put at $88 expiring on 24th January for $0.18 [1]. If you buy one, and

Isn't Loop and Grow roughly the same as Metroidvania? Or does Metroidvania not require an actual repeating loop, whereas Loop and Grow does?

I'm not sure i believe that bit. If you can lift a flow of water from one level to a higher level without an input of energy, you have a perpetual motion machine. And those aren't allowed. I assume that what happened here is that

The purpose of this library is to make it easier to modify existing code, eg to make existing classes implement new interfaces. In particular, it seems to be used for Minecraft modding.

The article makes the 'default' key with push_str("-default"), and given that, your approach should work. But i think that's a placeholder, and a bit of an odd one - i think it's more likely to see something li

I think the problem isn't that the forced changes are bad, it's that they're lumpy. If you're doing incremental development, you want to be able to to quickly make a long sequence of small changes. If some of those chang

The boilerplate around a main function is 10 units of load. Everything else you have to know to write a simple program is 500-600 units of load. The boilerplate is a rounding error, and just does not matter.

I thought it was pretty similar to Suze in bitterness, although I didn't try them side by side. It's about twice as strong, though. And neither is sweet enough to save you!
