This mirrors my experience, everyone I knew who could speak Spanish well when we were around 4-5 years old, still can 30+ years later even if they rarely speak it with anyone at all. Now nieces/nephews who might pass for fluent to some

Makes more sense in the context of the war, where two sides are close and whoever gets there first wins. Here I do not understand the end game, stalling tactics until there is a U.S administration willing to goto war with Iran?

Its very common for men to play girl avatars and for women to play men avatars in online game. Very rarely have I ever met anyone that was actually pretending to be that character.

Its a well know cliche at this point for pretty much every program to be rewritten in the "safe" language of Rust. But it makes sense for C++ be in there too, before it was the Rust people wanting to rewrite everything, it was the

To me it seems like the REPL is the eventual solution. A shell is pretty much one already, you install programs in the same way one loads libraries in a repl. It lacks a language to glue them together since bash is not up to the task. The r

Objects would be a deadend but it would be nice if they had the option to return data structures. No reason why you can't have both text and strutured output.

Its been a staple food for thousands of years. At least in Mexico the whole cuisine revolves around it. Same as Asia and rice. All the other uses such as fuel and sweetner is because its subsidized, doubt it would be used so much if it wasn

This would be nice, it sucks that everything in the U.S contains corn syrup.

I guess I'm a cynic at heart since my mind went directly to this being somehow related to harrasment by their peers rather than being depressed about the public not appreciating them.

I usually run under linux, with C or C++ codebases. I try it every 3-6 months based on recommendations I read online, it starts fine but after a while it slows/freezes/crashes. I don't bother to do reports to microsoft anymor

Every time emacs comes up there's the obligatory hate rant about how they moved on to better more modern tools with vscode being praised but everytime I've tried it, its slower than emacs and crashes more often or just flat out do

Farming has always been the cause behind the water usage but last time they had a shortage they made it seem like washing your car or watering the lawn was the problem.

I agree that you shouldn't use the preprocessor for metaprogramming, it sucks. Switching to C++ is not a solution either since its template system is garbage for metaprogramming aswell. Starting small with a small utility such as this

If you want to use metaprogramming in C you are better off doing the parsing/tokenizing yourself and creating your own macros than trying to use the C preprocessor, its a lot less work.

Jesus just reading the first paragraph tells me everything I need to know about this person, what a whiny little bitch. Lisp and C are my favorite languages and most of the people I know who like one tend to like the other. I was surprised

What is the end game for this look like in people's mind? do they think that these universities that people are fighting over will start accepting Asians in bigger numbers?. These universities have only one thing of value and that is t

This is really just talking about which functions they decided to include in their standard library. Clojure for example takes the haskell approach so its not a question of composability vs monolith. Sure composability is nice and should pr

Its impressive that it can pass as your usual post where the author just seems to want to mention a topic without explaining anything that would warrant the need for such a post. I'm afraid we're in for a lot more of this everywhe

you can only better understand yourself through meditation, its not a divine state where the secrets of the universe are revealed to you.

when engaging in this sort of meditation, is it not the goal to not focus on any such thoughts or any thoughts at all and just become an observer of your mental state?. I cannot see how too much introspection can be a bad thing and lead to

I find it ironic that mass surveillance capital of the world London would complain about this. Companies such as google and Facebook make advertising profiles. Mass surveillance is something only governments would care about.
