The policies I mentioned (just as nepo-baby Mamdani's programs to abolish programs for gifted children) have, of course, precisely and deliberately the effect of cementing an existing parasitic elite and screwing over…
And of course the reason that there is a lot VC capital in Europe has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you'd be crazy to do a startup in e.g. Denmark (because doing so will likely be personally ruinous even…
What do you mean by this?
Is there some more concise and ideally written summary of Thiel's lectures? One that doesn't require sitting through 3h of video? I've only got some superficial acquaintance with Thiel's ideas, but he's been objectively…
And using Google Firefox instead of Google Chrome is more than a temporary bag aid?
Nordic countries have essentially exactly the same 1/3 two year recidivism rate as the US, the one exception being Norway at 1/5, and mostly not for rehabilitation policy reasons.…
Thanks! > they are better for most use cases of string templating where what you really want, is just a string. I think use cases where you want to unconditionally bash a string together are rare. I'd bet that in > 80%…
The problem with f-strings is that they make an extremely limited use case convenient (bashing unstructured text) and thus people people invariably use them for the less limited use case for which no such covenient…
My memory is that ES6's template strings preceded f-strings. If that is correct, do you happen to know why python was saddled with f-strings, which seem like an obviously inferior design, in the first place? We are now…
Great point – I should definitely have mentioned Julia as your best bet for playing around with multi-methods. I think it's basically the only language with any eco-system to speak of that has them. Julia also happens…
Dylan is simply a historical curio, so there are no situations in which anyone should use it apart to study programming language history and to take inspiration from roads not taken. It's basically Common Lisp, with…
When you are prepared to die in a plane crash because of your decrepitude, how much risk to others is entailed in a case like this? If the plausible answer is “not that much” I am with you. But nonagenarian…
Personally, I think the butterfly keyboard is great. Assuming, of course, that you got one that does not suffer mechanical reliability issues. This opinion is hardly universal but seems to be shared by quite a few good…

What is bewildering is that you expect that the world has turn around in the blink of an eye to humor the Japanese, who are now suddenly having second thoughts after telling everyone else to use Firstname Lastname for…
Unless there is a quoted comma or an empty column beforehand (nl “helpfully” skips empty lines for numbering purposes).
I don't doubt you, but maybe your usage was never much memory constrained on either macOS or linux? What sort of software are you running? For what it's worth, I've got an even lower spec machine (4GiB), which works…
Of course -- thanks!
Apple's computers appear to have working memory management, whilst Linux doesn't. Anecdotally, an old 8GiB intel mac feels fine, an enormously more powerful 16 GiB linux laptop with Gnome is basically unusable (but runs…

Of course it changes much. AIs can synthesize information in increasingly non-trivial ways. In particular: > If a language model spits something out it was already available and indexable on the internet, Is patently…
Why would it need overflow checks when subtracting two valid pointers?
Isn't the only reason you might run into this with floating point but not with fixed point for the same task that you basically "waste" 10 bits or so on range which you could instead have used on precision (assuming all…
