I'm confused about that part. There's cases of people living without food for many months, given enough stored body fat. I'm assuming there's a reason for the surgical approach (you still need water and supplements), but

Maybe my monkey programmer brain is broken already from doing syntax parsing all day, but I can never imagine any context where this formatting makes sense. I always place quotation marks "like this". The other way is not even con

> They probably care about their bonus and how it all advances themselves on their career path. That doesn't sound anything like the priorities of a competent CEO. I think you're missing my point, too.

Take a look around this comment section. This move isn't being received well by anyone and nobody is buying his bullshit. That, and mass layoffs are typically an excellent indicator of incompetence.

They're comparable in the sense that I'm guessing C# is unlikely to get yet another string declaration syntax, so we're stuck with what we've got. Regarding predictability I definitely agree, but good syntax highlighti

I wish that's how C# handled it! There are verbatim string literals that support newlines, but in practice, most of the time I see people stick to regular string concatenation because it ruins code indentation/alignment. That&#x27

When it comes to picking criteria to compare languages with, performance and succinctness have the advantage of definitely having a large impact on developer productivity/happiness (same thing tbh) while being (relatively) easily measu

I still think it's very good advice. Barely anyone bothers to share their knowledge, and even less people manage to communicate it effectively. In this context, if you put any amount of effort into sharing, you're probably already

Last I checked, the evidence was unclear whether it's the mate or the temperature it's consumed at. Which is weird to be because I thought mate was brewed at lower temperature compared to coffee (70°C). Either way, the WHO recomme

I personally find the JSON configuration paradigm to be immensely usable, at least when it's done in a schema/UI-assisted way (which is how vscode did it). I'm glad Microsoft is picking it up in their other software and I wis

They could, of course, do this the way any other type of institution would do it: create an app that people would voluntarily install to gather this data. Playing by the rules isn't how governments work these days, though.

The logistics of getting goods such as food and medicine into third world countries have hardly anything to do with their manufacturing price. Even once you get them there, distribution is a nightmare. Obviously I'm not referring to co

Are there any recommendations how one can limit the amount of information Google is collecting on them, preferably without completely giving up on Android and Google services (such as maps)? I'm already considered a hermit by friends f

Weirdly, I have felt this is a huge improvement over the Chrome-style address bar that hides when you scroll down. I always found it very distracting for reading, and it doesn't seem to annoy me as much when it's on the bottom (ev

Having switched from VS to JetBrains Rider a few months ago, I cannot recommend it enough. Way faster and less clunky than VS without Resharper, especially if you're targeting Unity. They're so far ahead I simply don't see

Downscaling is widely employed at stages of the rendering pipeline where a full resolution buffer wouldn't make much difference (eg. reflections, post effects), but overall when you turn on 4k, you're mostly getting 4k. This is tr
