I like the term "exercised" for coverage of questionable assertative value. It's rather pointless in environments with a strict compiler and even some linters get there, but there are still others where you barely know more t

Note that it's also spilling over into German, frequently called "Deppenapostroph" by people with a similar, but less polite view as those behind the article. So Germans absolutely do assume that it is the same thing, to the

Conditions inside the function are also in line with Postel's law, if we drag it from networking to API design. And in large parts of programming the entire "enforce it with types" (say null check without saying null check) i

That path leads to where the line between not illegal and not getting caught blurs away.

Effective regulations very much do put the employer on the hook, no way to accept something like "voluntary employee risk-taking" outside of in some cases not looking for it as hard as they could. Employers are at risk of getting

Corporate policy that implements regulations would be my guess. Or, in this case, does not. Other countries are far more into preemptive enforcement of regulations than the USA, but even there things tends to only get better before they g

It's worse than that, because tragedy of commons is at play and those who pretend that the pie will grow forever will get most of whatever crumbs will be left.

European labor law tends to be aimed at productive compromise. By comparison, American unionization appears polarized into almost winner takes all extreme.

I'm not good at dead languages, but I've heard complaints about cross-language mixing often enough that I suspect that there's a special term for people who like pointing that out. Or perhaps, depending on irony levels, three

More mainstream relevant than Twitter will be in a decade? Seems inevitable. Even remotely as mainstream relevant as Twitter was in its heyday? I don't expect that to repeat, ever.

Apartment buildings have very different surface to volume ratios. There are only so many square feet you want per window, assuming conventional layouts. Of course there's always the "disused industrial floor loft" approach t

5Gbps is conveniently unambiguous, but 10 and 20 exist in variations that use four lanes and in variations that use two lanes. According to Wikipedia, the symbols with a number are only specified for the four lanes version, but there's

I guess it's safe to assume that $20 in pay to win would be pretty far from having everything. But I share the sentiment, its a huge hit to the suspension of disbelief regarding in-game achievement.

It's certainly much less bad now than it used to be, but the existence of "x1" connections (half lane count and bandwidth as its contemporary "x2" sibling) does undermine trust. Is a cable advertised with the number

Sibling comment (last paragraph about python binding) is spot on: modest c++ knowledge puts doing a native component in a otherwise memory safe environment deeply into "don't try this at home!" territory. Modest rust knowledg

I regularly see a squirrel (of the European red kind, far more reclusive and shy than their American relatives) frantically licking the varnish of a chair that lives on my balcony. Looks very much like a drug habit, I hope it's not too

Good news, everybody, apparently the bureaucracy part is still operational. Scrolling down to the web data viewer and then right until you can order by date, descending, is ... impressive.

True, but we are talking about American trains. Edit: https://youtu.be/7Ao-24274Jw This example is not in Montana, but apparently minor derailings are a thing. And the cars that are not derailed don't really look much

Horses for courses. In an environment where a compiler has nodded approvingly to tight type constraints that limit mistakes to a rather high level, I'm very much in the same boat. Bugs that get through those checks are often wrong assu

I keep wondering if it perhaps simply appeared too early. These days it feels as if almost everything is either open source or runs in some form of JIT compile VM, or both. Back then it was a huge problem to require code to be compiled not

Add in a certain amount of awareness that more consumption as in bigger car, more square feet and shorter product replacement cycles isn't just good. Sure, few people would actively reject an opportunity to have a high footprint life
