Not all desk jobs, well certainly not all jobs where you are always sitting down, cause the same long-term strain on the eyes, however. A bus driver is at least focusing on the distance for most of the day, which is much more natural than s

I sure hope so; the demise of Facebook (and any related business present or future) would be a positive effect on society in so many ways.

It’s not a point of information, though. It is one man’s claim from a very biased site on this topic. That’s why you are getting downvoted.

Ironically I can't even tell who you think the bully here is. It sure seems to me that Epic was the bully in this situation.

Setting up the B.V. might not cost that much but keeping it compliant with the reporting requirements every year is very expensive in Holland.

Looks like the Pro is still 8-cores vs this new Air's 6-cores, so that is not a trivial difference, even if the cores are a little slower.

I'm curious about the new iPad Air they announced, with an A14. This thing is more powerful than the iPad Pro 11-inch now, priced a little lower. I wonder what the advantage is of the current Pro over this one? For that matter, this ne

The main issue with techniques such as this, which are certainly easy to do, is that if it’s not in the type system and therefore not checked at compile time, you pay a run time cost for these abstractions.

You can't predict the future of any country of course, but you can certainly use its past to inform such a distinction. The moves by China and Russia, for example, to lengthen the reign of their leaders, while in the U.S., no matter wh

All of the work on compile time programming in the last few versions is definitely for performance-oriented domains (certainly others may choose to take advantage of it as well). If you don’t need that kind of performance or don’t need to h

Of course you could also just write assembly if you wanted the exact most optimized machine code. It’s also hard to generalize these things in the form of those kinds of macros. Whereas with something like Eigen, just write your code like n

One thing about a democracy, if poor choices are made and poor leaders are selected, it’s only temporary until the next wave of elections. But in a dictatorship, or even something that masquerades as a democracy but is not, those choices ma

This is somewhat of a naive view -- the risks of any kind of dictatorship far outweigh any slight chance of good.

Yes, even to the degree that its leaders have become quite wealthy through the infrastructure of the government.

My one disappointment with Singapore is the lack of genuine free speech, and the lack of freedom of the press. This simple void causes many things that are invisible to the eye, and it creates veins that run deep. Live there for any non-tri

But the best documentation is the code itself that is documentation. I mean, well that’s kind of a cliché, but names can carry a lot of meaning.

While true, if your language doesn’t support such a type, then the burden for such a name goes to the parameter, does it not?
