I don't think it's quite as circular as you're making it sound. If someone has a prior contraint of needing to move quickly (which is common in startups) it can make sense to choose any arbitrary technology, if it allows them

do you have an example of such a query?

It was easier to be "mission-driven" back when startups could just spend investor money like it was water, chasing maximum growth over profit. But nowadays startups have to chase profitability at the expense of all else.

It's a show about the food industry, so you're correct.

I don't think this is correct. Go is a language with structs, arrays, value semantics and pointers, and an `unsafe` package for performing low-level operations on those pointers and deal directly with the layout of memory. And in pract

I don't think pointer tagging (in and of itself, when implemented correctly for a particular platform) is ever undefined behavior. Rather, it is implementation-defined behavior - the result of converting a pointer to an integer is not

Clamp is a simple enough function that if you simply typed its name and arguments, copilot would autocomplete its body. No prompting needed, in that case.

Many modern games allow one to invert either the Y or X axis or both. Some players do both.

Airplane controls are somewhat of a hybrid between regular controls and inverted controls. Since you do indeed input up to look down and vice versa, but you still input left to turn left and right to turn right.

I counted through all the top-level comments with at least 5 upvotes which state a personal opinion on the topic, and there seem to be 15 medical professionals who feel negatively about working in rural areas and 13 who feel positive. So, i

the parent commenter states that Java is their everyday language, so in this context I don't think we're talking about performance, nor about the needs of the kernel.

Web designers have been having this same debate for 15 years - what many call "mobile-first design" is actually just worsening the experience of desktop users so that things look nicer on phones and the makers don't have to d

All human lol. I was very into Haskell when I was in college, and Scrap Your Typeclasses was always one of my favorite articles. There has always been a sort of fascination with effect systems and dependency inversion in the Haskell communi

Sticking with React because of "stability" / "ecosystem" seems very strange to me - I've never seen more churn than in codebases making heavy use of the React ecosystem. Constant breakage. Constant rewrites as

"bad time" is relative. Perhaps the lifestyles of the West are simply fundamentally unsustainable.

Without a ticket, the only people who see that you're working on that thing are the engineers reviewing your code. At many companies, this creates a lot less friction. To put it a different way: it's better to ask forgiveness than

Rust is not a viable replacement for Python except in a few domains.

No, this really is not always the case when controlling for location. (That is, if you're comparing apartments in the middle of the city to houses in the outskirts, you're obviously comparing apples and oranges.)

I don't know many homeowners who formed "local communities" with their neighbors. I know a few, but not many. And I know renters who know all their neighbors well. Seems more like a personality trait than something enabled b

I don't think it's strange at all to call this Rust's biggest win. Adopting Rust-based tooling has sped up development and lowered CI costs for millions of JavaScript and Python developers. I can't think of anything else

How much of the speedup you're seeing is modules, versus the inherent speedup of splitting and organizing your codebase/includes in a cleaner way? It doesn't sound like your project is actually compiling faster than before, b
