This is surprising for me, I thought LLVM abstracted away platform ABIs.

I believe it is a heuristic that looks at text length, element type and class name.

I hope Epic wins this. I would buy from Apple again if they would open their platforms. I think it's ridiculous that when I was working on an app, the app would expire after a week unless I paid them more money for the privilege of kee

I think they just hit one megacommit, and the number they gave is how far away they are from one mebicommit.

Is it really though? Bing has been consistently worse than Google over the years. Maybe our definition of vendor lock-in needs to change. Honestly at this point it doesn't even matter how good Bing is - we've been unconsciously tr

This reminds me of a meetup I attended last fall, they were talking about the Spectre/Meltdown issues. I asked the presenters if anything in chip manufacturing/verification processes had changed as a result of that and they seemed

I know the awesome meme seems overdone, but it's cool that you can search that one word and see curated lists of interesting/high quality projects.

What about giving them a high potential but making their actual salary a function of approval rating? In order to maximize how much you make you have to work to unify your constituents. I don't think you'd want this to be linear e

Just a minor annoyance except of course for those not rich enough to own two phones, but I suppose if you didn't want to be oppressed you should have thought of that before you decided to be born poor, right?

And accordingly, I could give orders to their lawyers and their likelihood of doing what I say is about the same as the percentage of the company that I own.

Yeah we totally believe you, you just keep on digging your heels in on this one cause that's how you get people to take you seriously and think you're smart.

If you don't like what NYC is doing maybe you should lobby them? I'm sure they'd listen to you just as much as the current federal government would listen to NYC.

Ok imagine that you have a broken leg and the only painkillers we've invented are local, and when you take those another limb breaks just to spite you. That's where we are with this. It doesn't get to be nice and painless whi

The human rights violations that ICE commits should not be considered a political matter regardless of whether one party endorses them. Supporting those that enable atrocities is not politics, it's publicly announcing that you are a de

I don't think optimizations count as magic. It'd be entirely unreasonable for a language to not do them and they don't change the meaning of the program, undefined behavior aside. "No magic" is meant as shorthand fo

It's very confusing, they start off saying C++ is too complicated and then go basically reinventing C++ with (IMO) absolutely awful syntax. I think they're missing the point of why people use C - there's no magic. It's p

I think I see what you mean. There's just so much we don't know at this point, and so many chemicals that we are exposed to even in small amounts, I could totally see some of these diseases being brought on by something common we&

There are chemicals that can kill you with a couple milligrams or less. I would bet that Parkinson's and lots of other diseases involving the brain will eventually be found to be symptoms caused by lots of different things, some geneti

by parkovski 10y ago
I'm not an expert on any of this, medicine is just a hobby of mine. I don't think actual Parkinson's is caused by drug abuse though, I think it's a separate disease (or maybe more than one) that ends up doing the same ty

There is. Cocaine and most other hard stimulants cause lots of dopamine to be released in the brain. Generally when you have higher concentrations of a neurotransmitter than normal for a long time, your brain compensates for the overstimula

They didn't reinvent the wheel. Bash was intended for a Unix environment with all the corresponding utilities. PowerShell was designed for a Windows/.NET environment, which is undeniably different, and they also took the opportuni

Yeah exactly everyone at Microsoft is so dumb. Literally all 100000+ people that work there are in the bottom 1% of intelligence worldwide. Probably because they don't use Linux. Everyone knows that just typing ls in bash boosts your I

Cool, then don't. Why does everybody think you can only have either a mobile website or an app? You can do both.
25.
by parkovski 11y ago
You don't pick one or the other. The original iPhone only supported mobile web, and now it has apps, and they've been pretty successful, so I don't think it's worth arguing against that anymore.

I know that lots of people are very Microsoft-averse, but this is exactly what the Surface is.

I was in a kind of similar situation recently - I never went to class, ended up dropping out of school, would sleep 10-12 hours a day at odd hours, drank way too much, didn't really have much motivation for anything. For me the dominan

Yeah, I get that, but a lot of people use Windows for some reason or another. I'm not really interested in trying to get the masses to use Linux. A lot of open source projects at least start out running on Linux and OS X, because they

Both companies have a lot of enterprise software that exposes either Java or .NET APIs, and lots of companies pay them for support and troubleshooting, and licensing those other products.
