How about just puts(“Hello, World!”) which has been in C since the dawn of time?

How do you start the radio? If you start it from a song of the genre you want to listen to now, or a playlist containing mostly that genre, it won't mix in random stuff you've like…

In Objective-C (and some other languages with ternary operators) the same can be written like this: int a = b ?: c ?: 0

Same here, probably something added by oh-my-zsh

For me, using pure git is fine when working on solo projects. The benefits of such services is when there are many developers in the same project. Gives a good overview of issue re…

Personally I think you should skip the /r/ or /i/ part of the paths. Always bothered me that reddit has it - communities are central to these sites so IMO they should be the first …

Then email servers would have to download billions of images of which 99% the corresponding email won't even be opened

Turns out he was...

It feels like a programmer thing, since unsaved files won't be compiled when you run the program. At least that's where I got the habit from

Why would informing people about the importance of testing make you look like an asshole? You could do it in a polite and helpful way, instead of being an asshole about it.

I’d say Mozilla is right in their wording. Your point here is also included in that - if websites showed the push dialog responsibly, it would be for example in the website setting…

Thanks. Updated my post to say smartphones - I have no idea about what EV batteries are exposed to.

Thanks for the links! Also, I want to add that what I wrote above is only regarding smartphones. I don’t know how much stress/extra heat etc that EV batteries are subject to, but I…

Yeah, but a battery gets hot when charging fast. Keeping it connected at 100%, the phone stays cool in my experience. And charging often makes the window where it generates heat fr…

Constantly charging causes fewer power cycles and extends your battery life.

The things that kill smartphone batteries today are age and power cycles. It doesn’t matter if you charge from 0% to 100% in one go or from 90% to 100% ten times. Both add up to on…

That's just a convenience thing. I've worked in Xcode for nearly 10 years and I never use that feature. Good feature for teaching though. But if you hate it, just don't use it.

Ads doesn’t mean they have to track you. I assume (and it seems like) DDG targets their ads based on your search query and not personal information, and afaik they are very open ab…

This is very cool. I really like the style that is the result of retro graphics and then raytracing added on top. I hope it will become a common style in games!

Hehe, thanks for the laugh! Yeah, I can totally relate. In fact, to become effective in Emacs I had to start by reading a book (Mastering Emacs, can totally recommend if you ever d…

Just looking at the rest of the comments here is one example. And almost every time something about Sublime is posted on HN

It seems like the general opinion that Sublime Text outclasses vim when it comes to opening large files though

Now now, I use Emacs myself but I wouldn’t call its UX “refined”. It’s loads of stuff piled on top of eachother and many built-in packages to do the same thing (since everything ha…

Why? Fastmail always complied with warrants to get your data, so nothing changes because if this law. If you want to hide something, encrypt your e-mails before they reach Fastmail…
