Dude... Null pointer exception, really. I wish you the best of luck reasoning about life and happiness in Java. Just don't attribute the ensuing frustrations to being born.

Let's call BS. It's inane to claim existence being the root of all evil, because, yeah, it's the root of friggin' _everything_. Nothing is forced on "you" because without existence…

Does this factor in the wetware upkeep during the development cycle? Development in C generally is slower than in most of the other languages.

Oh crap, now I see it. Thanks!

I am not clear why the proof is so long. By induction, the first i elements are already smaller than the A[i], so it's essentially an unoptimised version of for i: 0..n-1 A[i] = mi…

The article has the wrong caption I would think ("running K3s on a bunch of PIs" would be more fitting). Netbooting a bare metal environment is quite straightforward for the PI 3 (…

Since there is no technical definition (not to speak of a measure of degree) of consciousness, we could assume that it is very likely, statistically. All life forms have undergone …

If infection rates were double digit, the "think of what we could save" argument might perhaps deserve some consideration. But as it stands, I feel the only warranted concern is th…

Lol, I thought this was going to be about crypto currency. Lovely article!

But to be fair, the components you use could be "spiked". Imagine resistors, capacitors, transistors that can find out when they are used in a particular configuration and change t…

It felt a bit less obscure once I figured the relationship to "pecuniary". Penniless!

For me it's the " is buying for $ bn" type of headlines that seems to be on the rise.

Using the same line of reasoning, men could argue that the majority of people are men. The whole argument is based on a crude form of survivor bias It's complete and utter bunk.

I think one reason that quitting is so hard is that it is assumed to be a 100 to zero transition. I believe that just as getting addicted, weaning off is a process. Without having …
