Most of German job offers I’ve seen require proficiency in the German language. That’s unlike offers from Norway, Sweden, Denmark, or Israel, where you’re only required to speak English. Nothing else is ever even suggested in those offers.

If you consider the serpent from the garden to be Satan, then the Bible. It gave humans knowledge after all while God forbade it. This story has always reminded me of the story of Prometheus. Both were punished by gods for their gifts to hu

You need to use sudo. I have SIP enabled and use DTrace regularly. Trust me, it works. (As long as you use it properly, i.e. not like an alias for strace the way you tried here.)

SIP doesn’t block dtrace. You can use it just fine to e.g. trace dynamic library function calls. What really is a problem on MacOS is that they stopped shipping kernel syscall symbols. So you can’t trace syscalls anymore in the default setu

This point is repeated many times throughout the article. It’s not picking, unless you mean I should ignore half the article.

I can see reduced prices driving the demand. I doubt about the reduced emissions part. Why should I believe that that’s what’s driving people? To me it just sounds like a marketing spin. Don’t get me wrong: it’s cool that people are choosin

The convenience is very much new. 15 years ago in Poland it was completely normal for a train to have multi-hour delays. Now it’s not, and the trains are getting a lot faster. E.g. currently it takes 2h-2h 22m to go from Warsaw to Gdańsk.

A curious thing about Swift: after https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb2/pull/23 , the matrix multiplication example is comparable to C and Rust. However, I don’t see a way to idiomatically optimise the sudo

It’s only transparent for types that already implement copy-on-write. For custom types you need to implement it yourself, using reference typed private properties.

If you call mmap/VirtualAlloc/open/fopen in your constructor and later it throws, you will have a resource leak, because the destructor won’t clean it up.

C++ and Java, which have many implementations, also have proprietary distributions, see Apple’s fork of Clang, Microsoft’s MSVC, Azul VM, Jamaica VM, ... And some of them are pretty nice. Life is good.

Maintaining state invariants is trivial without exceptions thrown from constructors. Just make constructors private and write a public static factory method. Allowing exceptions in constructors on the other hand creates the problem of: what

Measurements suggest that binary search is at least competitive with linear search and is often the winner, so it’s a reasonable default[1]. But naive binary search can also be improved upon by dividing the searched space into 3 subranges i

Yes? Spend a day endlessly walking (roaming), searching in the forest for berries, mushrooms etc., doing hand-to-hand combat, hunting... Spend a day in front of a computer. Which one do you think will end in a feeling of happiness?
