Why? You see it when it comes to your house. If it doesn't look good, you throw it away and don't order from them anymore. It's the exact same as delivery food or just eating in a restaurant, for that matter.

Advertisers would pay for controversial content. They'd pay less, but they'd pay. TPB keeps selling ads somehow. I think the reason people see demonization as censorship follows the same lines as seeing non-government censorship o

Depends on your string really. If your string are immutable (as in C#), it's not the same amortized cost and you end up wanting to use a StringBuilder almost every time. It's not premature optimization - it's just the standar

In my experience, the problem with juniors and performant code has little to do with lifetimes. The issues I see are as easy in C#, Java, or Rust as C++ - e.g. repeatedly using string appends rather than building up a list and doing a singl

It depends. On a road with two lanes in each direction, yes, definitely, right for going, left for passing. But live in a suburb where the local beltway has 6 lanes in each direction - the left lane is basically just another lane.

It's easy to blame changing science. Science always changes. But let me ask you this. Are we going to need a fourth shot / second booster in 2022? I'd say it's almost certain. Find me a public health authority who is say
