The 1-indexed arrays can sometimes be nice, but I've run into bugs so many times when translating the code into a language with 0-indexed arrays.

Not 100% sure, but I think the access to contacts is so that you can split ride fares with other people.

Yes, they're both text editors, but they're completely different classes of text editors. MS Word is also a text editor, but it would be ridiculous to fault it for not having a CLI…

You're asking for VS Code to be a completely different product. VS Code is a GUI text editor like Sublime and Atom. There's no reason for it to run in a terminal. Vim and Emacs are…

You're still missing the point. Users who know little to nothing about the law NC passed will be made aware of the issue. Some of those people will take action against the lawmaker…

Really? I haven't found that to be the case. Everything that I've set to specific privacy groups (me only, friends, etc) has stayed the same.

Technically it's not holography, but using the term is the simplest way to convey the idea to the average person. What would you suggest calling it instead?

That's also true for most major breakthroughs like this one.

That's exactly the problem the parent comment suggests we focus on fixing. Once a library is published, npm shouldn't allow anyone to use that name even if the library is pulled.

I think you're seriously overstating the issues with Xcode. There are bugs and annoyances, but things have gotten better over the years. It's not as great as Visual Studio, but it'…

I'm studying for these boards right now, and these equations do show up. However, it's not the curriculum (at least not at my school) pushing the rote memorization of drugs, side e…

That's not how type 2 works. The resistance is developed for unknown reasons and it continues to build over time. For a while, your body can compensate by producing more insulin to…

You'd rather share your phone number or home address than your email address?

There's an interesting (although controversial) correlation between legalized abortion and decline in crime for that time period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legalized_abortion_a…

The positive predictive value for the prostate-specific antigen test for prostate cancer is only 30%. This means that only 30% of people who test positive for elevated levels of pr…

You're right - there's no one size fits all solution. I'm glad that phones have gotten bigger because they fit my use cases, and based on their popularity I'm definitely not alone.…

I have the 6s+, and yeah I can't use it with one hand, but I'm okay with that because I love having the bigger screen so much more. I can see a lot more while typing, watching vide…

I skimmed that study, but it looks like all the samples they tested came from the same guy, and they didn't actually test putting people in MRIs.

Joshua Foer (author of Moonwalking with Einstein) has a great TED talk too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6PoUg7jXsA

For some reason the article didn't link to the actual Medium post: https://medium.com/@cshirky/why-i-just-asked-my-students-to-...

The article directly addresses your exact point immediately after that example: "Readers can't be shown everything that happens to a character, or novels would be 800 pages and cov…

According to the linked article, Air France and some other foreign airlines were the only ones to avoid Ukraine.
