Exactly. Just like how the British people just recently decided that privacy and encryption aren't "fair and just." After all, would a policymaker ever go against the desires of the voters? > well, the majority who had pol

Granted, I only tested this for a few minutes, but I found that if I thought about "repeat" vs "switch" instead of "d" vs "f", then I could reliably get under 50% prediction. Sure, the prediction rate

Indeed it is, but when you double down on minimalism this hard, then "stacked shrinking boxes" are all you're gonna get.

I've recently had to learn Jira, and holy cow the iconography (and really whole UI/UX) is awful. I have to expand the left panel and waste a crap ton of real estate on an already way overcrowded page to get textual labels instead

It is generally true because "up to" includes the same speed. However, unaligned memory can significantly impact caching.

You are interpreting "unreasonable" from the perspective of a citizen, not from the perspective of the government.

I've also heard of YouTube bypassing ad blockers every now and again, but again that's never happened to me.

I've never seen an anti-adblock message on YouTube. Do they only appear when people use crappy (likely malware) adblock extensions?

This is more about hiding/perpetuating bad habits vs enabling stupid purchases. Not about impulsively buying something just because it was on sale, but rather buying something you know you shouldn't... but it's just this once

I think you misread the GP. These "mid and senior devs" are writing documents not documentation . They're not writing comments or wiki pages, they're writing designs docs for new systems, proposals for cross-cutting i

I'd argue that this is a form of rubberducking. Something that I've tried a few times was basically pretending that I'm a live-streamer/YouTuber/whatever and verbally explain my thought process & actions as I pr

It appears that you are entirely missing the point and the author's criticism of frameworks. Your analogy is the false promise repeatedly fallen for that created the situation described in the story.

> “make everything verbose, even when it’s already unambiguous” The idea is to make the language less context-sensitive and more consistent. It's better if the meaning of `<p>` and `<p/>` don't change based on

This is how I feel about most "things I hate". Despite my strong feelings towards them, there's a reason why they are the way that they are. Almost always it comes down to my interests & priorities not aligning with reali

I really dislike the `fill_array.c ` vs `fill_array_out_of_order.c ` example. While it's showing the effects of spatial locality, it's misattributing the performance delta to the CPU L1/L2 cache. The problem is that it's

They appear to be either mentally ill and/or prone to fabricating outlandish stories to make a relevant & interesting comment. The 10 years in jail story is rather consistent, though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was true

The lightning bolt emoji and similar performance rhetoric is really popular in the Zig community. I doubt the similarity is intentional.

It's obviously exaggerated and reductive, but you have to admit that not knowing how to use React properly is massively prevalent in frontend, let alone being able to recognize _when_ to use React.

Does everyone else feel like optimal/efficient algorithms are _significantly_ easier to intuit once you know the achievable complexity? My initial guess was that this algorithm would be n log n, but once I read that the solution space

Before moving on to NixOS, I used to manage every USE flag on the entire system. Every single package install or upgrade would prompt a quick look into any USE flag changes and potential reconfiguration. It was really nice knowing your syst

I wasn't trying to argue that C/C++/Zig/etc. would be a better or safer choice than Rust. All in all, the less surface area that you have for bugs, the better, and Rust does an exceptional job at this. However, I just di

It all depends on how risky you want to play the game. Do you log off from one while doing a ride for the other? Do you log on 5 minutes away from drop-off to start looking for your next ride? Do you actually accept rides while doing a ride
