I assume it's because age verification is something the attention slop merchants can work with, and they'd rather lobby for that instead of letting their entire business model be uprooted. I'm sure "child friendly conten

I have a 20m fibre optic cable, these things are great. Thinner than a standard cable. They are unidirectional, but mine has a dedicated copper line for CEC. 4k 120hz is no problem. I also have a Pulse Eight CEC adapter in the chain, but I

Rust has a million ways to solve a specific problem, as it is not opinionated and gets you down to the lowest level if needed. On top of that there's a million ways to encode your types. Then there's a million ways to bind C libra

Why is it http.Error(w, ...) and not w.Write(http.Error(...))? The latter would be way more clear in showing that nothing magical happens and a return (if wanted) is still necessary (I don't write Go, so I don't know the conventio

I meant the Ryzen CPU (is there a GPU with that name?), should have been more specific. My GPU is a GTX 1080 and it was unenjoyable to me with that CPU, now I have a 12600KF and it runs pretty well. The OP article shows quite well how CPU b

All things start from theory, just not the kind you think about. It seems you are referring to the academic style of theories, but in reality it is much closer to your mentioned trial and error - if you think about it, trial and error also

By C half-assedly trying to make "* " part of the name, just so you can use "* ptr" everywhere like it is an actual variable name, you get confusions such as this. First "foo_ptr's type is int * ", but the

How does "built-in privacy" hold up when the bios are basically public? It looks like the generated links are just based on the person's name as well, so it would be pretty easy to find a lot of people fast. Letting the user

These things are very vendor specific and proprietary, I was more thinking about general purpose programming languages.

There will never be anything that is as portable as text, and I think that is the sole reason we will never see any other widespread method of storing "code". Imagine having to update to a new language version if the code is blobs

Becoming a C++ expert is impossible in a lifetime, becoming a D expert is a matter of months. It is, from the very core, a way simpler language than C++. I'd argue it's simpler than Rust, even. IMO acknowledging a few function att
