Never said they were unsolvable. You asked for elaboration about pains of back then before lots of the tools most take for granted existed. You seem to think we are talking about m…

It is very funny to me that the sibling comment calls this "a very broken setup" and for you "it doesn't sound like a big deal". It's all about perspectives, or you really just nev…

Note that you probably need 2 or 3 drivers per car to get a similar level of usage of the car that Waymo can do.

The one liner shouldn't have shortcircuiting since it uses the binary or |, not the boolean/logical or||.

I disagree that it's just there to handle edge cases. It's a useful generalization. I think the "Building an intuition" section of my blog post[1] makes a good case for that. When …

I don't understand what problem you are referring to? A different keyword for what? for the return? for the break? Care to share an example problem?

Yes you can, you use a finally clause around your call to yield, as you would already do to handle possible exceptions happening in the block. So no extra consideration is needed.

For those unaware, Ruby blocks (and procs) are more flexible than anonymous functions as most language implement them. The article briefly goes over that, mentioning that lambda (r…

That keyboard is seriously bad. If you start pressing the next letter before you release the previous letter, you get neither!

I don't think that's a fair comparison. In Ruby, you always use the global name (with caps) that normally matches the library with possibly some nesting. (exceptions exists, but it…

I'm no expert here. You mention "either side" as if the light came from both the left and the right. But I think the light would be coming along a circle all around the sun dependi…

The article argues that most source available licenses also provide more freedom than only reading the code, such as using it and modifying with some limits. But "source available"…

> You may have noticed that Google Search, Bing, etc. don't require login or captcha to do a search. Are you saying you want adds in GitHub search's results? Google, Bing, etc. mak…

Personally, I don't think this is a valid case of enshittifying. Products that you pay for that loses features or break or become more painful to use are enshittifying. A free feat…

> Any code calling a function that can return a Null should know that being handed a Null is a possibility and handle it, right? Well right now, the only way to know is to read com…

I didn't use try Traefik's documentation, but the complains appear to be somewhat structural. Meaning a PR would need to possibly restructure at least part of the documentation, or…

Exactly! If the rules are clear from the start that youcwill offer the switch, then it's useless, so dont bother. If the rules are not clear that you will do it, then maybe you onl…

When talking about placebo effect, it's the idea that the same thing could have happened taking a fake pill, just because the mind knows you are taking something that should have a…

Unless you are in a very hot path and know with absolute certainty that n will remain very low, I'd say you are doing clear premature optimization by comparing and choosing the O(n…

> and collected seven millilitres of my tears. Can you really collect half a table spoon of tears from tear ducts? How much tears are in there?

You can try drinking more water too to stop that before noon hunher signal.

From what I remember last time I checked on this. % of money goes to a pot. Money is then globally distributed based on time listened globally (nothing is specific to you for the d…

Lagrange L1 is basically the only place you can place something between Earth and the Sun without heavy maintenance costs to maintain the position. L1 is at 1% of the distance from…
