Action which I find much more useful than Back is Up. I’m always annoyed when someone hands me their Android to do something and I need to go through 10 screens hitting Back instea…

Yes? Spend a day endlessly walking (roaming), searching in the forest for berries, mushrooms etc., doing hand-to-hand combat, hunting... Spend a day in front of a computer. Which o…

A similar warning could be enabled in GCC using the flag -Wsign-compare .

In this case more important than any runtime overflow/underflow checks is the fact that the compiler will check that comparison operands are of the same type instead of inserting a…

Which is why the Rust compiler itself uses a non-cryptographic hash, which takes just 3 x86 instructions and can work on 8 bytes at a time: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-hash/…

Given that shutter sounds are produced, I'd guess the shutter is opened[1]: > During this time, shutter sounds will be produced. [1]: https://helpguide.sony.net/ilc/2010/v1/en/cont…

Most do. Some, like Nikon Z8 and Z9, don't.

You’re right. I misremembered. The term is “shutter life”. Same result though.

Does it affect RAW photos or only JPEGs?

Every photo taken shortens the life of a sensor.

Same. And same selection of OS-es. :)

You’ve just compared a densely populated city with a sparsely populated state that’s several times the size of the country the aforementioned city is located in. And then started t…

You need better friends. ;)

In my opinion, the best way to interact with ETW is through DTrace. Microsoft’s GUIs like WPA-Xperf are so buggy and unreliable that using them feels utterly futile. DTrace on Wind…

No. I mean getting drenched, when forecast predicted no rain. 1mm isn’t really noticeable by humans.

Absolutely. 15 years ago I could reasonably trust forecasts regarding whether it’s going to rain in a given location 2 days in advance. Today I can’t trust forecasts about whether …

Another instance of pedestrian congestion that’s really jarring to me are serial pedestrian crossings on roads with opposing traffic lanes separated by pavement, often on intersect…

It was Go. Rust has many converts from C++. But from scripting languages too. It’s a pretty heterogenous programmer-base.

In this instance I’ll say burn it if you want. Although it leading to a natural wildfire is highly dependent on local climate. Where I live, for most of the year it’s too cold and …
