It is. I definitely agree that strings in Zig can be tedious, but the upside is that if you need it, you can build a string library that does everything you want it to do, in the w…

Honestly, that was sort of the impression I got. It's not that the meth is contaminated, it's that the meth is way stronger and more pure. I wouldn't be surprised if incredibly hig…

I disagree, if you'd like to propose solutions to these problems as well as an implementation strategy, I'd be very happy to hear them! Source: am the author.

Most AI data centres use evaporative cooling. One of the linked sources talks about this; that 7 billion cubic metres metric is how much water gets evaporated into the air. (which …

Up until pretty recently, I was unemployed and I also wanted a career change for similar reasons (although I'm in my 20s). I was broke, so going to school wasn't an option (plus I …

I agree completely; I think choosing Rust and then adding a GC is a weird design choice. If I was in a situation where I really, truly needed GC for my memory management, I wouldn'…

Exactly - purely "data driven" decisions are how we end up with ads really close to (or overlapping with) some button you want to press, because the data says that increase click-t…

I've never really had the urge to use GC in Rust, but if I were to speculate, I'd say easier cyclic references would be one benefit. And depending on the specific GC implementation…

I think you're misunderstanding - most people's beef with AI art isn't that it "isn't made by experts", it's that 1) it's made from copyrighted works, and the original authors rece…

I think there's a difference between "Hey boss, this isn't practical with the requirements you've given. We need to revise them to continue, here are my suggestions" and "Task comp…

Or the "find all references" feature almost every code editor has...

Increasing skin temperature is known to induce sleep (can't find a source currently, sorry). Something about your skin being warmer allowing your body to cool more effectively, I t…

I think that's only because electricity is the bottleneck, though. If it was no longer the bottleneck, crypto miners would expand rapidly with more hardware, mining difficulty woul…

I dunno, I've worked on some pretty big projects that have used lots of coroutines, and it's pretty easy to avoid all of the footguns. I'm not advocating for the ubiquitous use of …

I'm curious about Hashibashi as well. I've seen lots of Japanese people doing it, and now I'm worried I look like a total poser from copying them.

I think many people know how to google "what is my IP" and send that to a friend, but don't necessarily know what a port is. NAT randomization, I don't know. Depends on your setup,…

Or lots of parents will put their ID into their kid's computer so that they have full access.

It's not so much a workaround as it is an elegance in design. In Zig, when you @import a file, that file is converted to a struct with comptime fields for all of the public members…

I like JR's "shaggy fur" interpretation, but my initial thought for the mammoth was that it might be butcher markings? (as someone who is not a butcher and knows less than they sho…

Fear not, Zed has vim mode!

I feel like days are a non-issue; they would just start at different times (UTC) in different territories. This wouldn't make things any more complicated than they already are (cur…

I've just accepted that Microsoft, Google, and Meta all have a constant wiretap in my office (on account of my Windows PC, Android smartphone, and Meta VR headset). It's rather dys…
