The unusually downvoted answer holds the key to the riddle: it's the hardcoded tribalism making us justify our purchases as if they're political statements.

Most people I know just click "yes" on all popups until the website starts working. In between every other website asking for notification/location permissions and a huge pile of G…

Backups protect against a wider class of problems. For example, a software vulnerability/bug or a human error could result in the deletion of an object in all replicas (because del…

Being in the market for an enthusiast CPU is predicated on being enthusiastic about CPUs in the first place, and that's become somewhat difficult in the last couple of years.

Looking at the syntax (as a Go beginner), I'm not really sure whether that's less or more to learn. Seems like one of those arbitrary language design decisions that don't make a hu…

@vhanda (unable to reply directly for some reason) First of all, congratulations on shipping a decent, polished Android app! These increasingly seem to be a rarity these days. Rega…

I've recently started using GitJournal [1] to access my notes on Android, but I haven't used it enough to be able to say whether it's worthwhile. One annoying drawback is that it r…

Parent comment might come off as offensive, but it very accurately represents my experience with several Google apps that I've been using recently (YouTube, Google Play Music/YouTu…

I'd be surprised to learn that there's any sensible optimization that the compiler/runtime can make to ensure optimal data locality. The problem is difficult enough that the entire…

On the other hand, I'd wager that the set of words that you can recognize is vastly larger than the set of words that you're likely to come up with on the spot. Hence, using a gene…

A while ago I deleted my Uber/UberEats account (they didn't make it easy btw) because of how utterly unusable their apps were compared to competition. After me and my girlfriend sp…

All of these are often of little concern to artists, who prefer to get in the flow of actually getting stuff done. Organizing your project is fun and all, but there's A TON value i…

Whether or not it's comparable depends on the level of distinction you're trying to make. Obviously, CPUs don't think or experience the world (but on the other hand that kind of "f…

Additionally, the article fails to address any of the points (seemingly calmly!) made by the employees accused of racism. This is a disgusting way to hold a conversation of this mu…

I'm confused about that part. There's cases of people living without food for many months, given enough stored body fat. I'm assuming there's a reason for the surgical approach (yo…

Maybe my monkey programmer brain is broken already from doing syntax parsing all day, but I can never imagine any context where this formatting makes sense. I always place quotatio…

> They probably care about their bonus and how it all advances themselves on their career path. That doesn't sound anything like the priorities of a competent CEO. I think you're m…

Take a look around this comment section. This move isn't being received well by anyone and nobody is buying his bullshit. That, and mass layoffs are typically an excellent indicato…

They're comparable in the sense that I'm guessing C# is unlikely to get yet another string declaration syntax, so we're stuck with what we've got. Regarding predictability I defini…

I wish that's how C# handled it! There are verbatim string literals that support newlines, but in practice, most of the time I see people stick to regular string concatenation beca…

When it comes to picking criteria to compare languages with, performance and succinctness have the advantage of definitely having a large impact on developer productivity/happiness…

> AAA game developers have entire teams dedicated to engine development and multithreading Unity has been introducing a lot of features (Job System, ECS) that make excellent use of…

I still think it's very good advice. Barely anyone bothers to share their knowledge, and even less people manage to communicate it effectively. In this context, if you put any amou…

It's MIT licensed, you can port it instead of complaining.
