C# has Task.FromResult(), which is useful if you are implementing an interface that allows async work but your implementation doesn't require it. I believe the runtime will check for this case and continue execution. It's better f

Those arbitrageurs who extract payment without adding value should not be surprised when people are upset and demand changes.

I took the analogy to be about the location of the pressure and not the direction. If you allow pressure to build on the input pipe when you can't accept more, the component that is upstream in the flow is able to observe that and resp

You mean the culture of cutting funding from under performing schools to enforce a downward spiral and divert money to private schools? If not you should be more specific.

Let's say that each month I have an extra $1000. Should I use that money to pay down a 4% mortgage, or should I invest it in an index fund that is all but guaranteed to earn more than that?

Automated accessibility testing needs to be in your loop, whether you are using an llm or not. Aria labels are easy to get right but they are also easy to forget.

There are documented ways to ensure that changes are visible across threads (e.g. locks). If these are not used, the compiler is within its rights to not go out of its way to pull changes from another thread.

Right, it's pretty inevitable given the incentives. I think it's made worse by PE for a few reasons. They are investing with relatively short time horizons because they will need to sell to pay profits. So the long term health of

It probably still sucks in C, but the C++ DX got a lot better. Importing the idl would generate wrapper functions that made calling code look much more like a normal function. It would check the hresult and return an out param from the func

One example included the empty set, the other did not. It doesn't always make sense to have it.

Exchange server accepts or rejects meeting requests. There's no offline room reservation so it's pretty simple.

This is a community that values a high signal to noise ratio and generally eschews small talk, a la nohello.org. Congratulating someone for learning something does not advance the conversation. It also has a low tolerance of what it perceiv

There's also the cultural context of Monty Hall being a real person who had a real game show, on which he really opened doors with goats behind them. Most readers of her column would have been familiar with the mechanics of the show. A

Also relevant is that the oceanic bulge is along the elliptic, but the earth's axis of rotation is tilted. So the effect can vary by latitude.

The short answer is that there would still be tides without rotation, but with a period based on the lunar cycle. We have daily tidal effects, the moon can't do that by itself.

What's interesting is that Poe is not in the Altered Carbon book. The hotel was called the Hendrix and its avatar was Jimi the guitarist. They couldn't get image rights for the film, so had to change it. But i agree that atmospher

I've seen this in production C#. Same symptoms, process dump showed a corrupt dictionary. We thought we were using ConcurrentDictionary everywhere but this one came in from a library. We were using .net framework, IIRC .net core has co

It seemed really encouraged in early Java. I think C# picked it up more to support mocking for unit testing. The Go approach is a breath of fresh air when it comes to mocking and testing.

Right. Also note that the non-optimized implementation boils down to computing F(n) = 1+1+1+1+...+1, with a function call tree that has 2F(n) nodes. So no matter what the relative cost is for addition and function calls, the total time shou

Not only all the phrasal verbs, but that there is no parallelism across usage. Take up, take down, take off versus break up, break down, break off. Knowing the meaning of some of those doesn't really shed light on the meaning of any ot

This is exactly it. Even at its height, it felt like everyone was trying to build a brand and a following, and that was the primary motivation for the answers.
