Defaults matter a lot. Just because something is possible doesnt mean it is likely to happen. Are most people going to enable asan, run their programs through valgrind extensively, or just do the easy thing and not do any of that? This is a

While the standard library documentation is non existent, using grep on it and just reading through it is very easy, compared to almost any other language I have used. I would actually say this is preferred: it's early days, so the doc

Oh yeah - it isn't really. Just describing that even if privacy isn't your goal, and you want the best search experience, Google Search isn't the only game in town anymore.

I havent had the need for Google Search as much anymore. I find that the content is lower quality and truly useful information is hard to find. If I need a product review I use YouTube or Reddit search. I increasingly use Github search for

When it comes to machine learning, yes it is important to know statistical methods, but at this point deep learning shouldn't be pejoratively referred to as the HottestNewArchitecture. If you want to solve previously unsolved problems,

I've come to believe that the answer will be provided by the "free market". When AIs start to replace humans for tasks that require "intelligence" (how we currently define it for humans), then AI will have achieved

I know that because Magnus won, people will be heaping praise on him. But it is incredible how well Ian kept playing engine move after engine move to defend in the end game, while trying to keep time. Unbelievable the level of chess that&#x

The main feature missing from any git tool I have used is the Magic Wand that exists in CLion or other IntelliJ tools. I don't understand why that isn't almost a git builtin. Rebasing without magic wand is a massive chore.

Same here. Fugitive for me is really only good at git blame and git diff. Rebasing, branching, stashing, commiting is better done with lazygit

In general it boils down to "the distributed storage is buggy/not performant". The standard experience I want as a user is that my "cloud" files should be treated like my "local" files. However, in practic

I didn't think I (as an experienced software engineer) would struggle so much to save a file until I had to use Office 365. I wish Dropbox was more popular in your average small business office.

Most young people who I know use snapchat use the texting feature on it pretty heavily. It's usually one or two photos to initiate the communication and then texting to continue it.

I wouldn't call TBP "hard sf", its more like hard fantasy sf. It delivers on that pretty well - better than anything other series I have read. As for hackneyed and tropey, I can't think of another sf series that has this
