And what would that do, exactly? The government wouldn't care. In fact, they would probably be better off for it because everyone would simply switch to Chrome and there's one less browser to deal with. The only thing you'll

Interestingly, the labeling colon is written with spaces on both sides in French.

I find myself feeling some of the same things you describe. I don't really relate with the synth/formulaic music part, to me that's just another interesting form of human expression. But I guess that just goes to show how we

I think Zambyte just wanted to let the GP know that the code for the original had already been released before this one. No need to be mean.

I've lived in both eastern and western Europe and it's used a lot almost everywhere. As far as I can tell, the more Russian-influenced countries tend to use other services. It's still crazy to me how people use Viber en masse

I do understand the sentiment. I personally see value in human creation but I sort of get why others wouldn't. I'm somewhat shocked by this overwhelmingly positive reaction to AI replacing human creativity so I may be overreacting

Even worse is implying that we should replace all creative processes with AI. I honestly don't understand what world you'd like to live in. One where humans do almost nothing interesting and instead ask computers to do it? That so

Yeah, makes a lot of sense. Hadn't even thought about the difference between age and year when I wrote that. Thanks.

I can't tell if you're joking, but negative numbers are used to represent years BC.

I do it with books, too. If I'm not 100% interested in what I'm reading there's a very good chance I'll doze off into an elaborate daydream. I also emphasize with the "louder" thing. Uninteresting things aren&#

It's actually not. There's simply a 'use Option::{None, Some}' built-in to make them easier to work with.

I don't know C#, but I'll take a guess: I think it's exactly the same issue as null in Lisp and Lua — you sometimes want to differentiate between null as in "I returned no value", and null as in "I returned the

For anyone interested in this, Devine also has a personal wiki at https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/home.html There's so much cool stuff in there.

Close to nobody works on forth compilers nowadays, and the compilers that are optimising or even fast is very small. People say that forth isn't very optimisable for our register machines, but I reckon that you can get pretty good resu

Zig has async and await and is safe from buffer overflows and related memory issues. What it indeed doesn't solve is memory safety with time (so use after free and leaks), though this is somewhat ameliorated by the encouraged programmi

The point is that the content density is abysmal and you can't change that with C-+.

I just realized I swapped the two but it's too late. The bounds checks obviously stay in ReleaseSafe, not ReleaseFast.

Zig has bounds checking built-in. You can decide to remove it if you compile for ReleaseSafe instead of ReleaseFast, but it's always in debug builds.

Even if you accept that idea, 18 is a bit much. A 14 year old for example can meaningfully consent to being an actor in a movie I think.

I've always been confused by that too, how does a camera being there change anything? Objectively, selling yourself and being filmed sounds strictly worse from the no prostitution point of view.

The CPU cache simply pulls the memory next to what you loaded. It doesn't interpret what it sees.

It didn't literally lose the gear, there was a mechanical issue that prevented it from engaging.

I'm aware, but I'll take the criticism. Arguments are almost always better without being aggressive or mean. The liberal tolerance thing was obviously crap.
