Arranged marriages are not the same as forced marriages. Your family simply plays matchmaker and it’s up to the prospective couple to decide whether they want to be together.

Man you got me on readability. Just yesterday I had to input a random string WiFi password in a printer with only arrow keys to select each character. The password had an upper-cas…

You’re right. My point was more about the idea that “higher frame rate = better movie because the number is objective” rather than “all art is subjective”. In other words, I don’t …

If people don’t report crime then we have to leave it. The answer can’t be just to invade everyone’s privacy looking for crimes (before they’re even committed!)

Agreed, the idea that there’s anything “objective” about art is kind of hilarious. Yes, it may be technically better in that there are more frames but does it make a more enjoyable…

Your film, too?

Yeah bone conduction headphones are awful, I don’t know how people tolerate them.

For now

Keep at it, friend. You are not alone.

It’s even worse than that: someone else shipped the bug and you have to work without pay to fix it.

Yeah the comments here are slightly surreal; the issue was that they didn’t have an off-site backup at all, not that it wasn’t on AWS or whatever.

Agreed, a single thread is painful if it’s actually spawning off multiple sub-topics. I suppose the better answer is to start a separate thread in Slack in that case but it can flo…

Maybe you should try it

Their latest sham is the bag sizing box that has one side open. So, even if your bag would actually fit into a volume of the required size, if any of it is loose (often the case wi…

Nailed it. All of the “progress” in the last, say, 20 years is exactly this. They call it “disruption” and wear the title “disruptor” as a badge of honour.

Well said. There’s a noticeable lack of judgement in many places these days; people think they can abdicate it to metrics and data but this is mistaken.

That’s simply untrue. The old way was definitely better because, with OTA, the manufacturers will succumb to the usual web-software bullshit of “we don’t have to sell them somethin…

These kinds of announcements are quite misleading IMO. It’s not like smoking a single cigarette immediately takes off 20 minutes, it’s a cumulative effect caused by years of heavy …

What?

This is an odd complaint. It’s not a waste of anything to update a record on an official document. Indeed, it’s more frustrating when they don’t because now I can’t see my full tra…

How’s that not true for just about any country?

I’m not American and I totally agree. Y’all and all y’all are brilliant!

It’s fairly mindless boilerplate for sure, but it does mean that when something happens that causes a change like this protobuf update, the change in your codebase is isolated just…

Oh I see, thanks for the clarification! Personally, I'm fine without that and with something like func Foo(r io.Reader) { var m MyStruct binary.Read(r, binary.LittleEndian, &m) } b…

Can you please give me an example of what you don’t like? I’m not sure I understand the “write the code manually to do a struct” bit. You have to define the struct for sure, but be…
