And every set of headphones I’ve ever had either has an incredibly thick cable or the cable has failed due to repeated wear. I bought a pair of AirPods and have never looked back. …

Exactly. Writing code is easy. Junior developers do it all the time. Hell, they write far mode code and do it faster! I go half the speed of a junior developer, but the code I writ…

This not being a problem is supposedly the entire reason for USB-C.

USB-C is a physical connector layout. The full cable that is between the two connector ends has an enormous matrix of specifications it can support. There are variations of bandwid…

I don’t think you fully comprehend the matrix of legal possibilities for a cable with USB-C connectors.

No, they mean USB-C, the port they switched all but a handful of their devices to before any other manufacturer. While GP’s take is ridiculous (if common), I do think the notion th…

Now we live in a world where any cable can connect any two devices, but what happens and what’s supported is a complete and total crapshoot. The more devices and cables you own, th…

Okay, great, it’s called USB-D. Is this a new connector? Or do we now need to resort to labeling cables and checking the label? Do we do this for every new version and combination …

> There shouldn't even need to be a label. A USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable should be a USB-C cable. Then USB is forever frozen in time, unless we start using new connectors. …

To be fair, very few proofs involve the creation of new machinery wholesale.

The decent people did.

Also, the spec says it’s undefined. But compiler authors can always special-case their own compilers.

With all due respect, you might be overanalyzing it. Obviously it is trivial to merely exist. All of us are doing it with (for the majority of us who are healthy) minimal effort. T…

You cannot in the same breath argue that there are simple market strategies that offer superior risk-adjusted returns, and then claim that big money won’t go after it because they …

Thinking there are straightforward, simple algorithmic strategies to beat the market requires one to also believe that the billions of dollars behind large investments for some rea…

I couldn’t care less about solo developers who never release their hobby projects. The cautionary tales are always about potential coworkers , and as far as I can tell that stereot…

Also part of the issue is that lighting at night creates enormous contrast between dark areas. Even darkness is something our eyes are well-adapted to, and we can see surprisingly …

The number of times I've heard that phrase used to justify shipping absolute crap utterly dwarfs the times it's been used to prevent over-engineering something that's already in a …

You can type the intended file contents as-is.

Or just use cat and spend your brainpower on interesting, useful, and/or worthwhile topics. It boggles my mind that anyone cares about this.

From my experience, it took about a month of 150mg magnesium supplementation per day to see effects, two months for my insomnia to go away entirely. Doing a quick search for magnes…

If blood concentrations drop, you die.

100 the same. I tried magnesium before but didn’t see any effects after a week so threw in the towel. Then I read a comment by someone here that had the exact same symptoms as me (…

I don’t think it says the opposite. Apple claimed a record 20% of the market. Samsung overtook them with a 24% market share. These aren’t contradictory statements. I suspect Apple’…
