At first I read that as “Winston Churchill”, which made it sound like a Doctor Who episode.

There’s a class of truths whose source is our belief in them, i.e. they are true, because we believe they are true. E.g. in most countries there is right-hand traffic, which is true based on people’s belief that it’s true. Of course it’s wr

I don’t know about “first-rank”. To me it sounds like an RPG term (“first-rank mage”). But in the case of “first-rate” I see nothing weird about the answer “there were none this year”. When quality is lower, that’s what I’d expect, since I

Nit: if it were top mathematicians of their age, then there wouldn’t be any ages without first-rate mathematicians, which is obviously wrong. That said, the “of all time” version also doesn’t sound right.

The same is in the current manpage on OpenBSD: < https://man.openbsd.org/pfctl >. The next line is more telling though: > July 1, 2007 Although I'm running Monterey, so maybe it's updated in more recent ver

Theoretically it is, but on one Linux computer I have it freezes from time to time, whereupon it stops redrawing frames, resizing the window results in gray rectangles etc. I think it’s caused by a slower disk, which is sad, because I don’t

I’ve never been to the US, so I don’t have a good idea of what it is like there, but over here I lived for a couple years in a poorer district of Warsaw, where I would never be able to get good sleep, because there would either be a neighbo

That will only work for open source libraries. It won't work for libraries provided in binary form (which is common in commercial contexts I've worked in so far). I also tend to dislike the preprocessor and other forms of syntacti

Except now you can handle name collisions by renaming imports. If you have two modules that share a name, you can rename them in the import line (e.g. in Haskell or Go). Without modules though if you have two libraries which used the same p

I can see why an emperor could want to try to convince people that their lives are great, regardless of their material conditions. No need to rebel. Nothing to see here.

Good art can be created even though the author intends it to be bad. But it isn’t this intention that makes it so. The audience are the only ones who can judge. Noone else will see it, after all. :)

An artist intending something to look a certain way is the poorest defense of this way being good. To reduce it to absurdity, an artist can also say “I intend it to be bad”, and it still won’t make it good. Ultimately, judgement of a piece

So far he seems to be annoyed based on suspicions, but without evidence. His actions seem a bit rash in that situation.

I watched the video and the only brutality I saw was the animation.

I thought Armstrong wrote that Ericsson replaced Erlang with C++ or some such thing, because they didn’t want to maintain a language and wanted something more off-the-shelf.

I’m currently reading a book about the history of the British Empire and I think this temperament is older. When Australian and Kiwi troops were called to support Britain in the first World War, they were baffled by how much shit the Brits

That actually makes me want to create a set of UI benchmarks comparing performance standard UI operations in C++ with Qt vs JS with DOM. I think I’ll look into it over the weekend.

by yakubin 3y ago
Those are microbenchmarks, and as such are misleading when it comes to evaluating JIT-ed languages. They also don’t involve ever touching the DOM, which is a major source of slowdowns in real-world JS apps.

The snake always seemed to me to be a Promethean figure in this story. It brought us knowledge, like Prometheus brought us fire, and got punished for it by a god.

They don’t. We’re far away both from the previous and upcoming winter. Are you saying that during winter Austria is going to be doing worse than others?

Hungary yes, but Austria doesn’t seem to be doing all that bad. Eastern Europe is doing much worse. https://www.statista.com/statistics/225698/monthly-inflation...

English higher classes at various times liked to parrot the French. That’s how they started e.g. adding milk to tea, which was started by a French lady to fight off the bitter taste of low quality tea imported from China at the time. That w

Honestly, clothing is the smallest item on my packing list. Camera gear and shoes are the biggest items. My clothes alone would fit in a tiny backpack. Underwear takes a bit of space, but I wouldn’t fancy wearing rented underwear. But then

I like Caddy, mainly for the ease of configuration. One thing that surprised me though: by default it has compression disabled. I discovered it 1 year after moving from nginx (with the nginx config having compression enabled) and it was fun
