I know I heard a rough number at some point of the value of a Premium view vs an ad supported view. Can't find it without digging, but here's a source for them being a good amount more valuable https://youtu.be/-zt

That's something I've wished for a long time that it had. I know you can use exceptions to get similar behavior but it's really ugly and I just generally don't like raising exceptions for cases that aren't actually

It seems to be quick to apologize and I would also be interested if people can find thresholds. ChatGPT with the GPT-4 model doesn't want to accept that there are 13 inches in a foot. Me: How many inches are in a foot? ChatGPT: There a

Sure, but if OpenJDK is exposing that function then anyone who is using it will get the correct output when OpenJDK fixes the problem. If everyone copies the function into their own code then in many cases it's likely to never be corre

Metric should have been base 12. You get more typical factors than base 10, and it's not an absurd deviation from base 10 (base 60 would allow for the same factors as both 12 and 10, but I doubt anyone would be happy to adopt that)

This misses that the browser sandbox doesn't include sandboxing internet access. I can't be sure that the application will never send what I enter into it out to the server that's hosting the app. Also any changes to the app&

curl is an excellently powerful library and utility but I agree that wget has better defaults. I am almost certain to get the behavior that I want by just throwing a URL at wget, including retrying from the point where it had an issue. I ac

I still can't get over how wild it is to look back at even Windows 1.0 documentation and see familiar functions.

That is a bizarre misrepresentation of what they were saying. They're just surprised that people are making themselves a generic person instead of using some of the options that add more fantasy elements to the character. Though I&#x27

None at all. I just had to point CMake to Qt 5 installed via Homebrew by setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to /opt/homebrew/opt/qt@5 before running CMake.

Were you using GPT-3.5 or GPT-4? I could not manage to get GPT-4 to have the problem, though I did give up when my browser started to slow down as the output became massive. Also the easiest way to get it to repeat something is to give it a

I toyed around for a bunch of time yesterday and today to purposely get it to start outputting random junk. What I found interesting is that one of the the bits of text it output looked like a page from StackOverflow and another looked like

A note to anyone using a high DPI display: you can build this from source and get a version that scales itself cleanly instead of forcing the OS to make a blurry mess out of it.

How did accounts with a NULL value in the URI column match the query? NULL does not compare equal to NULL. Is this some awful Rails magic at work?

That's not how the shoulder of the road is meant to be used. You can pull into it for emergencies but it is illegal to stop there otherwise.

Most of them just don't care. I saw a large thread on the WoW forums about how Reddit was going to be force un-privating subreddits and removing moderators. Almost all the comments in there were praising Reddit for that saying that the

Same here. I was in high school from 2004-2008 and kids were already distracted in class texting each other. It would have been much worse with smartphones and I would have been among those distracted with one and I'm certain I would h

Where are you pulling this info you're stating like fact from? I can say for sure that it becomes harder for me to accurately jump to the next line of text the longer a line gets. Sometimes missing a line or starting the same line agai

They don't though? I just clicked between two tracks a few times. Each time I switch there is a very clear delay between the click and the playback starting. You can even visually tell there's a delay because the row only becomes

For the `operation` vs `op` example, it's highly contextual. If it's used in a narrow scope or if it's repeated many times (like I've seen in functions that copy fields of one structure to another), `op` is preferable. O

For me it's not just the jumps but also overly long names. My ability to quickly scan the code is hindered by names that all jumble together because they aren't visually distinct enough. And when they read like a book, I'm go

Sublime Text is surprisingly bad about that. Or at least the package manager is. I'm okay with occasionally being prompted to update the editor, but it drives me crazy when I launch Sublime Text, go to start working in a text buffer, a

If you actually let it crash that's fine, but a lot of people just toss a catch (Exception ex) in there because they don't know what exceptions will happen and don't want errors that aren't actually a big deal to bring t

It's one of the worst I've seen. It adds so much cognitive overhead to reading the code and makes it more annoying to write. Every function call that can fail is followed by 3 lines to check for and return the error. The actual lo

As far as I know Zig errors can't carry any data along. It's nice having more details available about the failure. Take for example if you call to an OS API and it returns an error that wasn't documented to be returned from t

One question I have about the double ampersands when applied to types is: do they represent two different concepts depending on usage? Like I know that they indicate an rvalue reference, but they're also used for perfect forwarding. Th
