I suddenly understand part of why experienced programmers seem to find Rust so much more difficult than those who are just beginning to learn. Years of C++ trauma taught them to ignore the content of the error messages.…
The Anglo-Saxon migrations made England English, and then the waves of Viking invasions littered North Germanic vocabulary all over it. You can see it in doublets like skirt/shirt that aren't in other West Germanic…
Great when it works. Too many senders will only deliver to widely used hosts, and silently fail for anything outside their tiny allowlist. Note that I'm not even talking about trying to send email FROM a self-hosted…
Rather than downvoting you, I will speak up to say I don't see what you're seeing. Spaces around hyphens, yeah, sure, but LLMs prefer em dashes, and even that is unreliable, because it's borrowed from habits that real…
Intel Macs were always a second class citizen for Blender. There was a lot you couldn't do because the GPU drivers just didn't allow it. They actually announced they were dropping support in February. Nobody noticed or…
Looking forward to my next long flight where I can watch movies about Bharatna Jones.
...Except on websites that override this to make those links open in the current tab, or just silently fail. On the modern web, the menu is more reliable.

I would be surprised to see it high in the rankings before it establishes certain backward compatibility guarantees.

You mean a borrow checker? That exists, but not for Odin.
Outright impossible. You see, the US is far more spread out than Europe. You need only look at a map to notice the insurmountable geographic barriers that prevent a Subway from being built closer to an apartment…

This already sounds like every independent coffee shop I've been to in the continental US.
> They could have represented dates as a simple int value In standard COBOL? No, they couldn't have.
If they continued to carry any of the games that were singled out for removal by Visa and Mastercard, they would not be able to accept credit card payments for anything else in their store. This same drama has played…
Coriolis forces acting on the human vestibular system can directly induce motion sickness just from turning your head. If it turns out humans cannot acclimate through long term exposure, the only remedy is to increase…
Wizards wave their hands and say something like, "Whatever, space is an ocean." The Expanse makes the observation that accelerating your ship at a substantial fraction (or multiple) of Earth gravity gives you that same…

Even if we solve poverty, we can always turn right around and un-solve poverty. Something like this has happened in quite recent memory with a whole lot of other "solved" problems. Luckily, we can come back from that…
I'm continually disappointed they didn't decide to call it "reinstinction."
GP's lists fall somewhat short of explaining the two most important differences: 1. Kishoutenketsu prefers to introduce the primary conflict as late as possible, whereas any writer in Hollywood will try to introduce it…
