The problem with India is hygiene, not so much safety. The food might be great but you're practically guaranteed to get Delhi-Belly. I visited for work years ago, didn't eat any street food and was still taken out of action for 3 days. Rubbish is strewn everywhere, any standing water stinks. I don't think visiting again is worth the risk.

Every Indian I've ever met has been lovely though (except for the ones who try to scam call my mother)

But like you said, if it works for them who am I to disagree.

I just think it'a visually unappealing language.

Is it true that the Ferengi were based on Jews? I suspected so, but then I also considered they may have been influenced by the Chinese.

It must be possible these days to allow designers to prototype UIs in WebTech and then convert it to native code.

Eh?

This is a timely post. We are going to use Consul to replace the need for Internal Load Balancers. What issues do you have with it?

legal discovery process?

But won't all those posix functions that take only `const char*` parameters need to be changed to be pointer/length?

I had unattended-upgrades cripple our VMs

numpy is a python wrapper over a C library written by people who have ground those gears

I'm not sure what the argument is here?

These are in the standard library because someone proposed their inclusion.

They're fine for the majority of people who really don't want to roll their own data structures each time.

They're not compulsory to use, you're still free to roll your own.

In my limited experience with looking at autovectorisation compiler output, gcc is quite bad unless you hold its hand, and clang tries to autovectorise everything it sees.

Well that is very disappointing news.

Even the decoder makes a copy even though it's returning a string_view? What's the point then.

I can understand encoders having to make copies, but not in a decoder.

Is this still true? New versions of protobuf allow codegen of `std::string_view` rather than `const std::string&` (which forces a copy) of `string` and `repeated byte` fields.

Google really dropped the ball with protobuf when they took so long to make them zero-copy. There are 3rd party implementations popping up now and a real risk of future wire-level incompatibilities across languages.

If a user of S3 knows that directories aren't real why would they expect directory-related normalisation to happen?

Ah ok, thanks

What even is a 'clobber build'?

How long would it take for the heat to be depleted? Humans have only managed to drill something like 12km into the earth because it gets too hot to go further.

I find that sometimes changing the font in my IDE can give me an inexplicable boost

Imaging being able to work on a branch stacked on a coworkers branch while you’re both constantly modifying them

I think that's something I don't want to imagine

The advantage of VMs is that you can nuke them and be done with it if you need to.

I use my personal laptop for $WORK and everything work related is done via the VM.

No. It's because farmers sometimes pollute rivers (despite household sewage being pumped into UK rivers daily), want to kill badgers to stop TB spreading, and because they work large areas of land they're obviously wealthy.

If collapse happens, it notes the UK does not have the ability to absorb global shocks through higher domestic output. It lacks enough land to feed its population or rear livestock to maintain current consumption patterns and price levels.

Yet they're pushing to use farmland for solar farms and social housing.

There's a real hatred of farmers among the UK Leftist/Green crowd.

My biggest gripe is why these JS APIs even exist in the first place

It is annoying that they didn't just apply this to all containers

Let's not vague post on HN. What's the problem with the above?

Your machine takes 30 minutes to boot because of the RAM? Or it takes 30 minutes to load a model?
