Who's angry about how people are spending their already-taxed income? Is that really a thing? Is it sincere or just racism masked as "think of the economy"? (Honest question, Not American. Don't live there, news to me).

left alt + left shift + print screen toggles high contrast mode in Window 9x. That was always fun to do on an unlocked screen.

"common sense" is common sense because it is the "sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation or facts" (1). Maybe what you meant to say is that the position isn't, in fact, "common

Felt it ~600KM away in a high floor, building was swaying. Others didn't feel it and at first I thought I was just [unusually] light-headed or something, but then we realized a door was swinging back and forth slightly, and a hanging p

I also dislike his self-promotion, but his work _is_ well know and, as far as I know, well looked upon. I think he has more expertise and knowledge in this area than most (including what you'd find in the news).

Are you moving the goal post? I generally trust health agencies, more so when they all agree.

Not sure how you get to that conclusion from the article when it ends with the conclusion from 5 health agencies that it's safe (and then more references from the scientific community that it's safe).

I'm not sure this is particularly telling. You can write a tiny program that generates a 4K image, and the image could be 1000x larger. Or, if I write a short description "A couple walks hand-in-hand through a park at sunset. The

20 seconds each time. Last time I tried to enable incremental build, it wasn't working for us. It was a while ago, but I think it had to do with something in our v8 bridge.

Just a slower build. From ~20 seconds to ~65 seconds the first time after I nuke it.

Zig 0.15 is pretty stable. The biggest issue I face daily are silent compiler errors (SIGBUS) for trivial things, e.g. a typo in an import path. I've yet to find exactly why this [only sometimes] causes such a crash, but they're a

It wasn't clear from the examples, and the gist doesn't have a `deinit` method, so what happens if an error needs to own data? > Here, sqlite.ErrorPayload.init saves 500 bytes of error message from sqlite Who owns those 500 byt

Claude code has those "thoughts" you say it never will. In plan mode, it isn't uncommon that it'll ask you: do you want to do this the quick and simple way, or would you prefer to "extract this code into a reusable

Aren't you missing something? Gemini tells me that non-NA market makes up 33% of Ford's sales, and 51% of GMs. So a better way to put it is "protects US automakers in the US." And that assumes NA manufacturers would be u

I ... don't disagree with you. Thanks. It helps my understanding. I know this is moving the goalpost, but it's still a shame that it [obviously] has to be a runtime error. Practically speaking, I still think it leaves lot of frict

I think having a thread pool on top of some evented IO isn't _that_ uncommon. You might have a thread pool doing some very specific thing. You can do your own threadpool which wont use the Io interface. But if one of the tasks in the t

I don't disagree. It's like 13 years old. `GetWithoutPromote` was added in 2022, I assume someone asked for it, so I added it. That kind of stuff happens, especially when you stop building it for your own needs. For the most part,
