This was my first thought as well.

The newer parts aren't all that bad. It's taken a while for us to catch up with other cities with properly functioning trains, for example...

You make deliberate and subtle errors so you can detect later plagiarism more easily.

I wonder whether swimmers benefit from this, after all, they're breathing-constrained (if going at anything more than a comfortable pace).

I use it on Linux and think it's great. My laptop has a screen with some crazy-high DPI and a monitor which doesn't. Changing the font sizes in settings to suit has never left me w…

The Shockwave Rider is brilliant, and the savant hero reflected in many subsequent works. Neo, anyone?

Amen. Even with those 5k word monsters it's brutally hard. Andreas Fertig's cpp-insights is really helpful, when is able to complete the coroutine transform. FWIW, I think a useful…

I don't find this surprising at all. Humans are tool-users, and valuing an object's utility and experiencing a feeling of something like loss when it's neglected or loses efficacy …

It's entirely possible, have done it at few times. For example, the `fby` verb[?] annoyed me one too many times, so I pulled it apart to see what was going on. In contrast to json.…

> I just don’t understand where they went wrong on curtailing free speech rights of their citizens, privacy rights, etc. Security establishment's innate desire to read and listen t…

Surely any peacetime military contract in the US (or, perhaps anywhere) is just a signal to get snouts in the trough and start hoovering up the cash? While wartime begets its own k…

I've found that the challenge is to "think in vector operations" rather than of iterating over the same data. The tricky part is figuring out how to get an operator to do the right…

I'm not sure if anyone's yet suggested that you embed your code as a library for KDB, that it could load dynamically? There's some pointer walking fun involved which Rust may _hate…

Hi, KDB is used for this kind of thing in probably all the Tier 1 banks, or has been at some point. I'm surprised that you seem to have been given so little help by the KDB guys as…

What are the downsides of keeping the public fields in a struct which is in turn embedded in a private struct created by the library? Inferring the "outer offset" could get irritat…

I listened to a FoundMyFitness [0, transcript] podcast [1, audio] on this subject and was struck by the simple anecdote of how when ageing we will eventually need to hurry out of t…

Agree. With so many unknown brands on Amazon they had become a go-to, but I plan to spend my pounds elsewhere. A tiny contribution to try to effect change.

I'm sorry, I don't mean Hyperscan, I mean simdjson [0]. I think I got confused by my recollection of Lemire/Langdale. [0] https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson

Presumably solving the same kind of delimiter-finding issues as Hyperscan? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19270199

Superb, thanks for sharing!

Ha! Every day's a school day ...

I'm sure you're aware -- but I was very surprised to find out -- that the European CE certification mark was _quite_ so similar to the younger China Export Mark: https://www.ybw.co…

Hey, thanks for this. I did go on to find it on Amazon.co.uk, but of course the e-book + paper-book bundle is different. I'll check out the other sites as well. Thanks again.
