Conveniently, clicking through to the actual data returns a 404.

That first chart isn’t even trying to hide that is fake. It’s depicting a perfect mirroring.

The post isn’t claiming perfection. It’s claiming production ready. Very different things.

The confusion there is the claim that good/perfect means done. It means ready for use and extensible.

Note: I’m not agreeing/disagreeing with the claim. Just clarifying the point

Depending on implementation, the lookup should be indexed so the time difference would be very minimal on even large tables.

The cutest of storage could be a problem depending on how many wasted accounts exist, but even that should require a ton of accounts to make an impact.

I hadn’t read the books when Season 1 came out and didn’t really care for the show because I thought it felt like a rushed story. There characters didn’t really feel complex enough and the Aes Sedai felt like a joke of a community to me.

Not having read the books I didn’t understand why they were so popular after watching the series. It felt pretty generic to me.

Since then I’m through 11.5 of the books and I can understand why it felt rushed. Many of the characters were changed for the worst. Rand just accepting his fate early on is what I would consider a major change in the overall theme of the early character.

Honestly Moiraine and Lan are the only characters I felt didn’t get wrecked.

I understand condensing parts of a story to fit it in, there’s plenty of filler in the book that is just world building that could be removed. But the first season just felt poorly sequenced to me even before reading the books. I think LotR is a pretty good example of the pacing in the movies being an overall improvement for the big screen.

This one is problematic. JavaScript has many flaws but it’s design of continuing to run through errors is beneficial to front end web development where the developer has no control over the environment.

The biggest issue with IPAs is that the ratio of good IPA to bad is way too skewed in the bad direction.

Have you been paying attention to the debate at all?

Many bills in the US have been proposed to mitigate child porn by just targeting porn in general.

Sometimes, terms need changing to separate it from something else. Porn in itself is legal and fine. When adding children in the mix it’s easy to get caught up in the porn part of the discussion rather than the child part.

Separating the terms puts the focus more on the child abuse part.

I blocked 196 but left memes because it’s less obnoxious. The only other things I’ve been blocking are the various pics-of-specific-celebrity communities.

Can’t watch this right now.

But I saw this and it instantly rang true. When COVID first hit and we started working from home my mental health instantly skyrocketed. I realized the biggest factor was the commute. I’ve never liked driving that much and being able to skip that enormously stressful part of the day did wonders for me.

If the only difference between two classes or structs is hard coded config, rewrite to be a single implementation and pass the configs in.

If it’s more in depth than that it may not be worth refactoring but future copies should be designed more generically.

I think Golang had the potential to take over just because it’s so easy to pick up and start contributing.

My last position was Golang focused and our hiring was never focused on experience with the language because we knew that if you understood programming concepts you would succeed in Golang.

Today, I’m working on Rust and while I enjoy it for what I’m using it for (Systems level instead of Web Services) I’d be hesitant to suggest it for most backend application just due to the ramp up time for new developers.

tl;Dr Golang will have an easier time hiring for because no language specific experience is required.

One of my senators in on this list. His replies when a constituent disagrees with him are always a dismissal. The other senator who isn’t on there is Ted Cruz…

Dark mode everything. No special styles needed.

I usually leave the lights off and light modes are way too bright.

Marketing is a big portion of it. There’s also less obvious versions. Microsoft was busy making deals behind the scenes with OEMs for a long while with the intention of getting Windows to be the default OS in stores. Early OEMs didn’t just wake up and start building for Windows. Bill Gates showed up at there office and convinced them to.

Apple donated a bunch of computers to schools. Many people just believed that it was because they cared about education but really it is an attempt to get kids hooked into the Apple ecosystem early.

Building brand loyalty isn’t just about advertising and it’s not even about making the best product. Early and repetitive access is more important. Advertising and product placement are more about awareness than loyalty. Loyalty is generally exploiting people’s fear of change.

My point wasn’t that they spend money on quality. Much of what they spend on is perception and awareness.

This is one that we can’t just solve by putting computers on the shelf.

Some people have tools that don’t work on Linux natively. If somebody is using and is familiar with Microsoft Excel, there isn’t a straightforward way to install it and FOSS options aren’t the same. The same can be said of Adobe.

Linux as a desktop environment will have to be for enthusiasts for a while longer. Hopefully, somebody gets more feature parity with the existing suites and the transition can just work out of the box.

But Linux when compared to Windows and Mac is a case study of capitalism vs FOSS. We (Linux users) generally think Linux is better and maybe it is, but Microsoft and Apple spent tons of money to make theirs what they are today and we didn’t.

To your point, every other comment seems to be about the idea of SUSE closing it’s source code.

There’s a bunch of ways to allocate resources but ideas like money have an advantage of allowing people to choose how they live.

A good example would be that not every person would be satisfied living in an apartment in the city. Some prefer living more rural for any number of reasons. Some want to be inside playing video games and others outside biking on a mountain. Some want to be able to do both. Giving them the ability to choose small apartment in the city or bigger house in the woods is important for happiness.

The biggest issue is the discrepancy of resource allocation between individuals not the method that allocation is done on paper.
