Except when you start eating real food made fresh from quality ingredients. Or sauces being cooked for proper times. There is so incredibly much more flavour to all of that food. I…

AFAICT, the Continental US does not have a fully connected grid. This allows electricity providers to charge wildly different rates depending on the state/region. It also requires …

I know this is anecdotal from what I read here and the few engineers I’ve spoken personally. Having a good job is the only way to get good/decent health care. Even then, there are …

IMHO, Brexit was mostly an exercise in placing the blame in a single “entity” instead of circumstances. Fishing gets harder due to over fishing. Technical advantages and industries…

It is inefficient in the grand scheme of things yes. But it is very efficient on the level of the individual home owner, especially if they do not own the building so cannot instal…

It could be part of the Accept header which already indicates language. It could serve as a signal that you only want to see content that is appropriate for that age bracket. Where…

I’m currently on a AMD 5900X with 9070 XT. Previously a 6700XT, didn’t make a difference in desktop only in games. Using KDE with Wayland. Recently I switched to the bore-lto flavo…

I’m running CachyOS (based on arch) and it is blazing fast. Both with Firefox and Vivaldi. Especially compared to the windows install I used to have on the same machine. Or is your…

Distribution is already mostly in place. The existing channels have run dry so they can be filled with the new supply. Building things happens a bit quicker in PRC compared to the …

Maybe not a traditional disruptive startup but isn’t CXMT from China stepping in to build all those fabs? Previously investing in that space didn’t make a lot of sense. Now that th…

Maybe it is enough to include some css/js which is served without cache and is loaded after all user visible css/js is loaded. Make it small enough to not cause too much bandwidth …

Is there some existing mechanism already that counts how often an ip only scrapes the page and not the css and then block those origin IPs if it occurs “too often”? Unfortunately, …

I think it becomes easier if you have some oracle, like a compiler, available to check whether the end result (after introducing suggestions) is viable. I say it like this because …

Doaitse Swierstra’s parser combinators have included this for a while. I seem to recall them also having optional support for self-healing such as adding missing commas, parenthese…

The whole point is that sometimes I or the build system performs an action that it cannot reverse. This happens in between commits as I’m not in the habit of committing after every…

That would still be in git. The local history in IntelliJ works independently of any VCS. Also I’ve had formatters botch files including changes I hadn’t committed yet. For that th…

This local history has saved my bacon on occasion. E.g. when I went too long without committing and something silly overwrote the file I was working on. Or because I did something …

I do wonder if there are some experts that are more likely to be hit. So if the normal optimised setup runs in 12GiB an you have 4GiB extra to spare, you could say “promote the mos…

This is elegantly solved with sum types. (And arguably needs sub typing.) If instead of just returning (int, error) the function would return (int, parseError | outOfBoundsError) y…

Is “a conservative limit” a high limit or a low limit? If it is high such that many responses will still be drained it would keep reading those infinite streams for a long time. If…

Completely agree and I personally name generic type parameters as I would name types and parameters. It helps a lot.

I thought the sentry data was collected and the data collected when driving on roads etc was collected for training purposes. Would that be 2.6gib worth of data? If it includes vid…

Just adding the bare bones integration wasn’t that hard. The trick comes from ensuring all the observability is wired correctly, that it fits in the framework usage, works good wit…

IMHO, the main reason why Spring is huge is because it has grown organically to encompass many of the business cases/issues that one may encounter in both depth and breadth. So the…

That reminds me of the gel packs in the USS Voyager. At some point they became “infected” and they needed to the raise their temperatures to let them destroy the infection!
