I would really want to see there Go with their goroutines, Kotlin with their coroutines, and good old Java with their CompletableFuture vs. virtual threads (and compare that with non-continuation ThreadPoolExecutor). IMO the discussion wit

Yes even better. Parent just compared insurance cost in CA vs FL, so I brought CA here. PS: California, not cyanoacrylate.

Yet at the same time federal government allowed home insurance to be non-actuarial (aka insolvent) for natural disasters like hurricanes. So essentially the rest of the country subsidise residents in disaster-prone areas. So Californians pa

What's the issue of getting her on Linux? I bet she wouldn't see a difference, especially if its GUI is similar to Windows, like Linux Mint.

I always wanted to, say, look at any theorem and see what axiomatic it requires. Or in other way, see the theorem tree like in the article under a different set of axioms. Of course, for some results there are proofs discovered only under o

And because of the very convenient geographical location USA is unlikely to be invaded. You'd want your gold to be safe.

There is, or rather are, fully recognized axiomatic foundations. You are free to choose one you like. Of the most popular ones is ZFC or ZF, but there are others (some lead to the same results some not). The main criteria for popularity is

Same thing was said about cryptocurrency for like 15 years: "_in the future_ it will replace all fiat currency".

Learn to fly hang gliders. Travel cheap countries. Make (more) kids. Woodworking is always here. As is local politics. But you said you're not up to building something.

Would be good to see witnesses description text after the case reveal. E.g. I kinda remember text says "black eyebrows" but the image clearly shows white eyebrows, would be cool to review.

> Fish bad I've read an archeological analysis of a merchant ship rowers-slaves -- every skeleton had perfect teeth. Because slaves were fed only fish, not any bread, bread was a product that merchants traded, while fish was cheap a

How does it compare to java's ConcurrentHashMap? Looks like Go switched to exactly the same logic as in Java. But Java had it since 2004, did I miss something?

Imagine telling a person something that goes contrary to their conditioning, to their beliefs. They would tend to dismiss it completely and choose not to take it into account, even while knowing it's true.

We thought it too! But it really didn't work with hand brakes, dunno why. Maybe because with tag you always either full accelerate or full brake with turning at the same time. And if your opponent is on the right, you are left with onl

> The coaster brake also can be prone to locking up the wheels and causing the tire to skid. For kids this is an advantage, since they enjoy putting bikes into a sideways skid. Damn well it was! I remember we used to play tag on bikes. B

For cycle tourism I would have the coast brake AND a front wheel hand brake. Coast brake is much more resilient to elements (dirt/rain/oil), which is a major thing in bike tourism. And it's much more convenient to have one ha

Well if they cannot technically differentiate malicious, then they should drop that business niche. They receive money for that, similar as selling stolen goods.

I would want my light switches to be off when I click a special button at my bed, so when I want to bed I "turn off everything, and make sure garage is closed". Unfortunately two wires don't work there.

Dude would be much easier to make a custom doorbell with a microcontroller with wifi (Pico or ESP32). With ESP32-CAM even have a video feed / screenshots. Today it's never been easier to make custom stuff -- 3dprinting and even PC

Yep, but it's their freedom -- website authors have freedom to designe websites however they choose, and we as consumers have freedom to not go there. I was startled by the girl the first time as well, but once I learned what it is, I

You haven't mentioned the dynamic typed languages that I believe should die -- Python and Javascript. The only good use case for dynamic typing is notebooks (niche of R lang) where you're throwing out the code you just wrote after

It's Anubis and it's actually cool and loved project here. It's an open-source Captcha that filters out bots, and it doesn't track you around the web, unlike Google or cloudflare captcha.

Improve software? It's job is to serve video editors, not the other way around. And it's a fun task, I bet there might be a dev or two who's working on that right now. And if someone is ready to pay for them, even better.
