The crux here is that spotify is actively producing Joe Rogan's podcast, not merely distributing it.

I had never heard of using a @software citation, I always just used @misc... Does it work everywhere?

Input length in binary is the standard way to calculate computational complexity. Sometimes we handwave that away, but in problems like this where the size of the number matters, we stick to the more strict definition of computational compl

The thing I never understood is why the jurisprudence puts more emphasis on the "right to bear arms" part than in the "a well regulated militia" part.

Can someone clarify what they mean by resting uncovered on the fridge? I remember being told once that food should always be stored covered in the fridge. Is that another myth?

I've heard this story before, but I can't shake the impression that a lot of it is just luck that the problem is something that lends itself very well to a shell pipeline. One thing that I'd love to hear more people talk abou

I feel that although this article is recommending against nfts, it still gives them too much credit. Referring to unspecified "myths" and "bad blood" and linking to an opensea article in the end.

For me the main thing that stops me from using is poor support for non-website passwords, which you already mentioned. I also miss having a "notes" field where I can write down what email I used to sign up, or answers to security

Hopefully the upcoming Moonfall movie can scratch that itch, allowing us to keep the real world JWST un-exploded.

One that my brain always had a hard time with was "callee-saved" and "caller-saved" registers. I wish more people used "call preserved" and "call clobbered" instead.

What are Stories? The linked commit doesn't seem to describe it.

It depends on what kind of media we're talking about. A scientific article about the origin of omicron would be expected to provide citations and evidence behind everything it says. It would also be expected to discuss all the leading

The hypothesis is that it could have originated in a different country and was only identified after it arrived in South Africa.

By this logic, artificial selection is also impossible and therefore pugs, tomatoes, and fancy pigeons cannot exist.

It links to a column on the Science website, and only to take a picture from it. The blog post doesn't discuss the scientific article that picture originally comes from or even he column that they link to. It uses the picture to say &q

This is the perenial problem with all these poorly sourced "just asking questions" posts, in any topic (from covid misinformation to holocaust denial). By the time someone who actually knows their shit has a time to issue a proper

Another thing that the blog post appears to be unaware of is that the absence of samples showing the step-by-step evolution towards omicron doesn't mean that this didn't happen. A lot of places in the world don't have the res

A blog post full of wild speculation, whose main sources appear to be a bunch of Twitter threads. Have we not learned anything in the past two years?

I think the bigger issue now is that more content is inside social media "silos" like twitter, instagram or youtube. I don't have the numbers though.

There aren't as many blogs now as there used to be.

Maybe this is not a problem for calculating the size of a memory allocation, but that division operation is going to be several times slower than the multiplication it is guarding. Is there a faster way to check for overflow, perhaps using

About the distro-specific include locations, I try to use pkg-config where possible instead of directly specifying the directories and include flags.

Most of these are just plain old scams (phishing, inside jobs, etc), which aren't affected by the choice of programming language. There are also a bunch of hacks where off-blockchain software is compromised.

What other languages also do this? I know Lua is one.

From a language design point of view, the hard thing about newline as a statement terminator is how to deal with expressions that span multiple lines. In shell you have to use explicit line continuations. In Python, the line breaks are igno

Today I would recommend checking out Teal: https://github.com/teal-language/tl/ I'd consider it the spiritual successor to Typed Lua.

Newlines are not significant in Lua. From Lua's point of view, there is no difference between return f() and return f() You can also put multiple statements on the same line with no semicolons x=x+1 y=y+2
