Layperson here: what is special about Go's runtime, aside from the GC?

If those bugs are only present in the Linux port, then yeah, Linux users cost more to support. But if a significant amount of these bugs affect all platforms, then you could argue that a Linux user is much more valuable to them than a non-Linux user because they provide better feedback. Assuming they actually care about fixing their product.

If the car you're driving has achieved super-intelligence and is capable of evolving and self-replicating, then life, uh, finds a way.

The poster you're replying to was asking about wheat vs rice protein, not whey.

Even worse for Icelandic ones. Keychron used to show the Icelandic flag on their Nordic keyboard page, despite that layout not including Icelandic-specific characters (Ð / Þ missing, Ö in the wrong place). I asked them to start including those characters, but now they just removed the flag.

For Framework I went with a blank ISO layout.

In the U.K. they even use the term "give evidence" for the act of testifying in court.

My native keyboard layout is Icelandic so I'm not holding my breath. I ordered one with a blank ISO layout.

Why hasn't anyone made a hybrid car that uses a gasoline-powered turbine generator to charge its batteries instead of a piston engine?

The current engine formula (2014-) in Formula 1 racing might be of interest to you.

During acceleration of a Formula 1-car, the turbo charger is performing at its peak and is spinning at about 100,000 rpm. The MGU-H (Heat) functions at that moment as a generator. This is connected to the turbo charger and converts the energy, generated by the turbo, into electricity; that, in turn, is stored in a battery or sent directly to the MGU-K.

This MGU-K (Kinetic), connected straight to the crankshaft of the turbo engine, acts as an electric motor that supplies extra power to said engine. This MGU changes into a dynamo, which stores the energy that is released during braking in the battery. This stored energy, can later be used to support the turbo engine during acceleration or overtaking.

Luckily Init7 took them to court and they are now back peddling.

You mean back-pedaling. Peddling is something different.

This crash was also covered on an episode[1] of the Black Box Down podcast.

Drivel. Dribble is what you do with a basketball.

I'm not sure what you mean by "sound the same", but just by comparing a simple change from major to minor is quite a dramatic change

That's because OP is not talking about the differences between scales (major vs minor) but keys (C major vs A major). With equal temperament all keys of the same scale have the exact same intervals between the notes. They are simply shifted up or down by a constant amount. Before equal temperament that was not the case.

In finance, MM is a shorthand for millions: https://www.orsurety.com/blog/is-it-m-for-thousand-and-mm-fo...

Like the commenter alluded to, it allows accurately constrainted type-ahead. If a query starts with "SELECT FROM my_table " and expects one or more column names at that point, your IDE can already suggest the column names from my_table (and not from any other table).

In an asynchronous medium like Slack or IRC, the effort _isn't_ wasted, because the question will stay there, allowing people to see it later who weren't even around when the question was first asked.

Just like you don't email someone saying "Hey" waiting for a reply before you ask your question.

True, but if you're having two windows side by side, the wider 16:9 will give you more horizontal space to do so.

I don't know about you, but I don't read two pages of text at the same time.

Nobody keeps anything close to that kind of amount in a savings account. They put it into various asset classes that appreciate by a lot more than 0.06%/year.

You might want to add a slash at the end of "trash", or add a mkdir before that command. Otherwise, doing this on a system where ~/.trash doesn't exist can still make you lose files after multiple deletions.

I was in uni around 2007-08 and realised it was using a serious amount of my time and energy.

The first public version of Minecraft came out in May 2009.

It's more about the small effect sizes of 8 people vs 1. Still a lot of room for noise in the result.

Drastically different? It looks almost identical to a map of the U.S. where each dot represents a town: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapping-population-density-...

The average person in the northeast spends 31 minutes commuting per day [2], for simplicity that's 0.5 hours,* 2 commutes a day, * 5 days a week, * 50 weeks a year (assuming 2 weeks vacation), is 250 hours commuting a week.

You already said it's 31 minutes of commuting per day, so why are you doubling it in your subsequent calculation?

I found it amusing that the originator of the takedown email commented with this:

We are genuinely committed to open source and do want to make as much as possible as free as possible. The fact that I am sitting here and writing in these discussions at all should be evidence of our commitment to open source and engagement vs. simply passing the issue on to lawyers to deal with.

And then this next (and final) comment ended with this:

I will not be commenting further on this topic.

To be fair we're in one of the worst chip shortages in a long time, GPUs are supposed to be like 3-600 for low to early high range.

What's your point exactly? The recently released PS5 and Xbox Series X had launch prices of $400-$500 in the U.S.

So, even without the chip shortage, GP's point about the GPU alone costing more than a console still stands.

Edit: oh wow, to -2 in less than 2 minutes.

What doubt? The momentary mismanagement of one nation's disease control unit means you'll ignore the globally-realized benefits of the greatest life-saving achievement of modern medicine?

Sounds a bit like you were searching for an excuse for a conclusion you arrived at already for other reasons.

As can be seen there, they of course relied on their own lighting as is standard for archival and studio photography.
