Not much skill in problem solving if you can't Google some react syntax

Not that everyone should know it but it's definitely widely used. A Google search for "stack UAF" also turns it up.

The tone here is a bit rude but I'm still curious: what does no runtime mean to you?

Why? I thought it was pretty good, just get the rest of your function a lot of times and no context switching to type to an agent or whatever. It just happens immediately and if it…

... why? What does it offer that literally any other IDE does not? Genuinely asking.

Are there that many people running Windows on ARM machines? I don't think I've ever met someone who was.

Tokio is fast, but it's huge! Check the size of any library or binary that includes tokio with even minimal features, let alone their recommended default feature set which comes wi…

I wish there was more of this in the world. Educational math content is very hard to do well. Great stuff!

If you're using LLMs for a large number of arithmetic calculations, you're exactly the problem GP is talking about. If you absolutely must use AI get it to generate code that will …

What is so superior about Visual Studios debugging experience that you're sure it can't be replicated anywhere else? I've never used it.

I find this infuriating. I get absolutely no sense that this is AI, and this bizarre attitude towards em dashes is nonsense. Loads of people use them, especially in less formal wri…

Wow that is not encouraging

This is a funny thought, but do you think this would really happen? Surely anyone hiring a programmer would be aware of this.

Just nitpick but all odd numbers end in an odd number, not 1, and all even numbers end in an even number i.e. a multiple of 2.

Well that's the claim, isn't it. People tend to see an hour tick over and think "well, better wrap up". The impulse is much less strong at ten minutes to the hour. It's a bit like …

Yes, but once I'm at the checkout or it starts raining, I reach for it...

In my opinion it's unhelpful to pathologize behaviour like being blunt or speaking your mind. It's just another expression of the impulse to split the world into an in-group and an…

I felt the same but after switching to anyhow and thiserror in pretty much every Rust project I work on I find it quite painless. It's not ideal to rely on crates for a core langua…

I think they probably do agree, GP says one per person wouldn't be enough.

... do you think people don't use Java anymore?

Sorry but that comparison is nonsense. Potato chips are just fried slices of potato. How would you squeeze 6-8 medium potatoes ( each weighing 5-10oz according to top Google result…

I used to feel this way but having installed Ubuntu on a friend's old laptop for him, it's crazy the amount of stuff you forget you do because it's second nature. I certainly think…

It's true that in the case of a sorting algorithm it's not immediately obvious how to analyse the time complexity with Big O. However, I feel that you may be getting bogged down in…

> It's anyone's guess if the code you wrote a year ago would work today Is that true? In what sense? I was under the impression the editions took care of that.

No, I believe you are forgetting the context. Big O is a upper bound on the growth rate of a function. In this case the function describes the time taken, therefore a higher time i…
