In an ideal world, you could opt-out of isolation without giving the code in the container a way to know. You wouldn't want to opt-out your banking TAN generator just like you wouldn't want to put the password in your email footer

Digital ID is safe from abuse by our ad overlords as long as it only happens in insular implementations for markets smaller than California. Things would look wildly different if digital ID was a thing in the USA (I find it rather amusing h

Waiting time for the next order is the same distribution for each one of them. So to minimize the number of pay gaps in a day, you will want to stretch out each delivery as long as possible. If you are a true believer in the impossibility o

I didn't say that there's no desire for low level capabilities: without that, nobody from managed environments would care about Rust. But to overcome the skillset inertia that keeps people in the language they are already good at,

Most languages that have a way to define dot-syntax functions that aren't actually methods of the type also come with the ability to use any zero-arg method (both true methods and dot-syntax extension functions) as a one-arg function r

People who are at home in a memory managed language tend to have little interest in a language that is slightly more low-level, but still memory managed. I believe that this is the main contributor to Rust's rise. Even if I suspect tha

Why would you ever want the dotless version though, in cases where it's not terrible? (e.g when there are multiple arguments of equal importance and calls where the argument is appears more as an option for esoteric cases than the impl

Chances are you only complain why they hardly ever visit or call. But even that is far from having nobody at all except for your last surviving generational peers. Parents and grandparents perceive their descendants' life as if it was

For me it's the reverse: the color inversions feel hardly more impressive than the morph animations that were all the rage in the 1990, because while I certainly understand how straight-forward color inversion is on the level of pixel

The lesson is that piracy (and to an only slightly lesser extent, free student licences) was an extremely powerful tool to keep a tool market cornered: impossible to compete on price when piracy is so ubiquitous that payment is essentially

C17 rims are considered very narrow in road cycling these days. It's been a few years since 17mm were new and upcoming. Campagnolo widened their Zonda wheelset to C17 in, easy to remember, 2017 and they were late. The goal of performan

Your comment just made me google "apple m3 skyvase", because that's such a delightfully silly idea (using skyvase as an example for offline rendering in 2023, not talking about online renderers in general). (skyvase.pov was t

Just have more dishwashers, and use them as storage cabinets: pick from a clean cabinet if you need tableware, deposit in a dirty cabinet when you are done and if you have at least three of them the transition is free to take a lot of time.

Heh, sounds like the next big Netflix white collar crime hit will be self-referential then. Will they reuse their Streamberry alter ego from Black Mirror or appear as Netflix proper?
