Thus forcing a subpar default on everybody intentionally.

You are absolutely correct and I was an idiot without a proper understanding of premature abstraction or unnecessary complexity. If I were to start a new side-project using Haskell…

Not me, because I hate change!

I am simplifying in saying that they outright block FF, but the site is broken with Enhanced Tracking Protection enabled [0], and has been for a while. They even mention FF in a de…

Yes? And the submission leads to twitter, which blocks FF deliberately, so what's your point?

+"Searching" +"Like" +"This" works for me. Whenever I try this with Google, I can't seem to get it to work though. According to [0], it is not an official search operator anymore. …

I like the sentiment, but the article ignores that this approach may incur the price of adding complexity to the implementation. Depending on your architectural constraints, adding…

Elon is it you?

In Ousterhout's "A philosophy of software design", this aspect is described similarly via "deep classes", as opposed to "shallow classes".

Is this different/better than using `instanceof`?

Thanks. I believe with the additional null checks, this version is safer to use, too!

It's likely dependent on the 'user archetype'. If you need to e.g. lookup things related to beginner-friendly programming languages, the search results for Google are strongly tain…

I was going to say that, then I noticed people are arguing about the "number of 9s of availability". You guys have WHAT?

If you haven't actually used GPT-5 yet, your assessment is irrelevant.

My (uninformed and probably misguided) idea was that there was a host DNS service (responsible e.g. for resolving local domain names) which would cause Windows itself to trigger so…

Even Firefox will in general not protect you I believe. I showed my mom how she can use 'web.whatsapp.com' to use Whatsapp more easily (in order to share screenshots or links with …

While that is generally true, as others have already reported there is progress being made. Since a few days ago, I tried installing/running Elden Ring again, which did not work wh…

I find it disappointing that the "coming up with a recurrence formula" part is always glanced over, which to me is very much the hard part.

Yes, the exit code. See e.g. `:help cq` in vim. :q! and ZQ will yield exit code 0, which sometimes is not what you want if you want to ensure some task is properly aborted.

Since there are a lot of "replies to the author" in here: The article is from 2020.

Contrary to what this heading suggests, nothing has been "decided" here. This article is not only inaccurate, it is falsely misleading. The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice an…

The idea is that if you need dependencies, you only need them present during compilation on the machine you develop on. You then compile a statically linked binary and copy this to…

But this kind of statement is the unfortunate industry standard. A more honest thing to say would be to say "there is no way to prove that your personal information has been or may…
