Responsibility sink.

tesla does not need to advertise

What do you think Elon's shenanigans are exactly?

2x memory looks like a naive implementation of just allocating an std::string from heap for each line. Due to heap fragmentation and various overhead it would quickly blow up.

Looks more line Qt's internal UTF-16 encoding in this case.

"Recycling" means "the landfill is on the other half of the globe".

Barcode scanners are hilariously bad

In the Challenger case, the bad information has been deliberately hidden within the structure. They could just as well have pulled it up in the structure.

It's like saying variable font sizes are inherently bad because due to them, contracts can have small print sections.

A small set standardized data structures (vectors, maps) would do so much good for C.

For me, The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption had the most compelling environments. I spent probably half of my play time just walking-riding around.

it's a book filled with solutions to imaginary problems.

You could get hundreds of thousands of European developers (West as well as East Europe) by offering 80000 EUR comp and a reliable contract.

Anyone that's worried about autoimmune phenomena after vaccination should look at autoimmune phenomena post Covid infection

Hard to ignore, what with this being shoved down my throat 24/7 for 1.5 years.

Using Statecharts or FRP is completely orthogonal to the choice of polling vs. event driven.

Sophistry and rhetoric are not "thinking". They are intellectual sleight of hands.

I hope you use the standard Windows OS.

and only add nuance later

When would that be?

These core values won't change.

The Abmahnwesen never dies.

Install it on a spare laptop.

Betting your life it's mild is dumb.

But keeping the panic dialed up to 11 for two years is very healthy.

Signed, someone who probably now has a cardiac neurosis.

A support forum for a commercial product is not a "community".

Um. Is high hazard and death ratio for obese people something that needed explaining?

Some people might argue that convincing people to not get fat is much lower hanging fruit than transforming every democracy into an authoritarian apartheid state for effects that are well below any statistical significance threshold.

There was a time when a Swing application felt heavyweight, but today, it feels extremely lightweight (including JVM startup).

(Not IntelliJ, which is horrible in every regard.)
