From what I've seen so far, I really like the clean syntax of Zig. I want to like Rust, but it looks so verbose and loaded with special characters.

It seems like this would be a really bad idea. Scaring companies away from buying Chinese-manufactured products couldn't possibly be worth the respect through fear.

Agreed, I’ve never seen this sort of super redundant comments either in any real production code. I’ve only seen it in a small number of times in a handful of scripts written by interns.

I gather from this article that its orbital radius varies between 65 AU and 2300 AU, which is an extremely eccentric ellipse. I wonder if that high eccentricity would disqualify it from "planet" status. Most other bodies considere

I believe that the primary reason there are so many different public utility companies (e.g., electric, gas) is because of the patchwork of regulations in each locality makes it difficult to manage under one company. So it could have the ef

A somewhat delightful potential side effect of having this being handled at the state level is the confusing and inconsistent array of rules varying state by state will hopefully make regulatory conformance a nightmare for Comcast et al.

I don't know if I was just too young at the time, but I had Myst/Riven as a kid and never even began to understand what the objective was or what I was supposed to do. Aside from a little bit of walking back and forth, I don&#x2

If there is some truth to the idea that QWERTY was designed to slow you by separating commonly paired keys, it might actually be advantageous in the world of touchscreen keyboards. Separating frequently paired keys would presumably make aut

My S3 very reliably presents text notifications to me. I wonder why yours doesn't. As an aside, I'm also curious why you keep buying them if you just keep returning them.

Right, agreed, the Reddit redesign is just bad. But the fact that probably 99+% of any UI/UX changes result in an uproarious outcry from users, even when it's not bad, probably results in these outcries simply being ignored.

Yeah, the new reddit is just objectively bad. It frequently fails to load content for me at all. Terrible user experience.

I think the problem is that people always, without exception, hate UI/UX change, and companies know this and have learned to just ignore the objections of their users. Every single change to the Facebook UI/UX, every single change

Windows 10 with transparency turned off is very clean and usable. I know I'm going to get a lot of reflexive disagreement on this point for unrelated "because Windows" reasons, but I think this is objectively true. The entire

Lack of a home button is a selling point for me. FaceID feels like somewhat of a compromise because there're many ways in which it's inferior to TouchID, but the swipe gesture replacing the home button isn't a compromise at a

You can just swipe up from anywhere on the bottom of the screen, there's no on-screen target you need to hit, so it's just as easy to do it while walking/running/without looking. I do it while running all the time.

Disagree. Progressives very actively campaign on helping all of those groups of people. It's the centrist democrats who are focusing solely on illegal immigrants--to the neglect of the others--because it's a corporate-friendly iss

Did you need to use melatonin only for those few weeks that it took to adjust your schedule, or have you had to continue using it indefinitely to maintain this schedule?

Even if they changed it so that you could select where to send the password reset, rather than having it go by default to all accounts, that still means anyone with delegate access to the email address could go and request a reset on your b

Using a delegated email address to sign up for things sounds like the vulnerability then, not Facebook's handling of it.

I've always found fasting easier by shifting the eating window to the end of the day rather than the beginning, i.e., doing all the eating after 5PM for a nice big dinner. I've found that the initial fast-breaking in the morning s

I think it puts it in perspective as a magnitude of money, which I'd assume was all he meant to do. I don't think he was suggesting that Apple actually accounts for 5% of GDP, but was just using it to illustrate how monumental $

What aspects of Lotus Notes seemed like a good idea? Genuine question. I remember being horrified by almost everything about Lotus Notes. Sametime was great, though.

Investopedia has good resources for understanding the various types of options spreads. They have nice cartoon graphs that illustrate what happens in each one. For example, the page on the iron condor[0] or the straddle[1]. [0] https:&#x2F

I've only ridden Lime scooters so far---I really want to try a Bird, I hear they're faster---but in my experience the acceleration seemed pretty smooth. It was the braking that was extremely jerky and sudden for me.
