I love Vim and use Vim bindings everywhere I can (Emacs, Firefox, Intellij etc.). But I don't think it is actually more efficient than traditional editing, but rather just a different way of editing which may be (or may be not) more co

Not sure if those are the same though? Async, await, iterators, futures etc. are pretty much standard constructs in almost all programming languages / concurrency frameworks. Whereas Actions, Transitions, Pending State, Reducers etc. a

Really? I have the opposite experience. I _want_ to love CL but Clojure wins when it comes to IDE support and libs and documentation. Maybe it's just me but I find (SB)CL tooling to be very obscure: ASDF, QuickLisp, Roswell etc. My mai

Same popups for all apps (at least for me).

How come SIP didn't catch it? Is Chrome asking for a root access during installation?

Where can I find a manual on how to uninstall Keystone, Chrome etc. on Mac properly? Has anyone done it?

I was always wondering about MWI and couldn't find the answer to one question. AFAIK Everett never mentioned Many Worlds in his paper. What he was talking about was a Universal Wave Function. In that sense, 'world' is just a

But mass decreases which implies that event horizon shrinks, right? Also, I thought never-increasing entropy was only applicable to closed systems. In that sense, when particles leave black hole through Hawking radiation, total entropy of t

> Stephen Hawking proved that the area of a black hole’s event horizon — the surface that marks its boundary — cannot decrease. I thought he proved the opposite: that black holes (slowly) evaporate through Hawking radiation, lose mass,

Not OP, but I am currently on Reaper's Gale. Malazan quickly became my favourite book series (and I am not even a fan of fantasy). It was hard initially. But it gets better. However, I think that re-read is a must if you want to fully

Isn't it like a standard practice? Hire an expensive professional first that will do all the heavy-lifting, then outsource bugfixing and maintenance somewhere else where it is cheaper.

My guess: it is all about culture. I guess asian people are more likely to choose 8 (lucky number) and avoid 4 (unlucky number).

Yes. Nowadays it is mostly about tools/frameworks. You don't even need to master the programming language that you are using. I work mainly with Java stack and see so many devs with 10+ years of experience who know nothing about J

My wife and I are doing IF (OMAD - One Meal A Day). And obviously don't eat junk food, sugar etc. For me the biggest surprise was how little food we actually need. I remember myself few years ago eating a breakfast in the morning, then

`tokenize` function looks weird. Why use replace and then split? How would you extend this to stirngs (which might contain "()" chars)? It might be OK in a toy example, but it would have been better if the author wrote an actual

In the 'Glimpse of Muon' example, how does the Map::getOrDefault() function work? Shouldn't it accept 2 args: a key and a default value (if the value associated with the given key is not found)?

Agree. People often 'mispronounce' my first name (can't even pronounce last name). Honestly, I don't care. I don't blame them because they pronounce it from English point of view which is obvious as they are native

Same in NZ, but credit cards with cashback have monthly/annual fees. For example, ASB (bank) asks ~$150 per year for a cashback credit card. How much do you get from cashback on average?

What about fees? Not sure about US, but I think in NZ all credit cards with cashback have fees. And I remember there was a research or something concluding that you had to spend at least ~$3000 (don't remember exactly) per month using

Sugar is not bad per se. The issue of sugar in processed foods, candy etc. is that it absorbs quickly and causes blood sugar spikes. This is bad. Fruits and vegetables have fiber, which slows sugar absorption, hence no blood sugar spikes. O

It is all good until you start sending credit card details and all other personal and sensitive information without even asking user about it. As a user, I don't care at all if it makes dev's life easier. I bought the app and don&
