I think Andrew is a big part of it, and the people he surrounded himself with are the other part. What kind of pre-1.0 language hosts conventions? Crazy that they manage to do that. Andrew's vision has always been clear and inspiri

How do you even warp these things? Had mine for 3y, sturdy as hell. So sturdy in fact that the only piece I've had to replace is the charger, what's the point in swappable parts now right? /s

Well it sure must seem real for Palestinians. And it's just called life on Earth.

It has a very lego-like feeling, with simple, orthogonal design that lets you build the language and constructs you need. Very elegant.

Kakoune has replaced many features with multicursor, including the sed-like commands (where you just select an area, search for patterns inside it to create the multiple cursors, then perform regular edits (which also means you can perform

Rust has editions for strong stability guarantees, and has had them for nearly a decade i believe. Besides, tech backing has grown way past the risky point.

Who deserves to receive help (and, by contrast, who is undeserving of even basic decency) should never, ever be the decision of a few ploutocrats. The state should decide on such matters, and be the upholder of equality. Else, misery become

No, that would be https://1000hv.seiya.me/en/ Easy mistake to make though, it is the 3rd such guide being posted in a week, definitely seems like the subject has a lot of traction.

Not all devs have very deep knowledge of the ecosystem, some will get to use a tool only if it's part of the default set of tools they're provided. Plus, it saves on memorizing a name if you only use python once in a long while.

I fully expect that the intention is to force you into opening up the laptop to install the RAM. RAM is so easy to install that there's basically no risk of the customer messing up, and it exposes you to how easy it is to open up your

Shale oil is extremely unreliable, and its producers have barely ever been able to make any margins out of it because the required investments are heavy and constants. Wells reach maturity after months or weeks, and then they need to be rep

Conventional has already peaked, and it is possible that even producers will decide to stop extracting nonconventional oil because it is too expensive and the price of a barrel fluctuates too much (IEA 2020)

Read it too, and I had a similar feeling. To me it was the thought that we will probably never see a place like Bell labs -a temple to knowledge, to gather great minds and let them work on whatever they think might have interesting outcomes

Except the strike is not really against LoL as a game, but as one of the largest clients of the actually targeted company. The strike is purely an industry strike and does not have much to do with players, as it originates in the VA compa

Not trusting the clients and redoing all calculations server-side would require massive processing on the server side. Your idea then multiplies the load on the server.

The learning curve depends strongly on what you are trying to do. Many things are very undocumented in Nix, and the interpreter being lazy creates very hard to read errors. No static typing makes everything worse. If you are trying to con

This just reminds me of my theory of Microsoft's checklist-driven development: Some PM writes down some single-sentence description of a feature (e.g. "Share Wi-Fi passwords with contacts") and the developers just read the

Wasn't the recent liblzma attack already exploiting the fact that systemd has its hands in pretty much everything? Wouldn't this expand further the attack surface of systemd and the systems that connect with it?

Such a positive, wholesome attitude, really makes me eager to switch. Oh no, actually I cannot be bothered because for now my X desktop is fine.

Wasn't CPython supposed to remain very simple in its codebase, with the heavy optimization left for other implementations to tackle? I seem to remember hearing as much a few years back.
