Yet another piece of evidence about Ukrainians being nazis and terrorists. How dare they show up in a peaceful life of a regular Russian man who’s not at all complicit in Putin’s war!

Modern CPUs are also extremely efficient at dealing with contiguous data structures. Branch prediction and caching get to shine on them.

Avoiding memory access or helping CPU access it all upfront switches physical domain of computation.

So many castles lost to recent history…

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this allow one to represent virtually any resource as a mail inbox/outbox with access through a generic mail app?

I’m working with a specialized healthcare company right now, and this looks like a way to represent patient treatments data as an intuitive timeline of messages. With a local offline cache in case of outages. Security of local workstations is a weak point of course, but when is it not…

“Huh, I wonder” has been driving general scientific progress and heart failures in engineering since forever.

You’re showing your true imperialistic colors. “Let the empire pillage its colonies” and all that jazz.

NATO was never an issue for Russia, and every time any kind of appeasement is attempted, Russia simply moves the goalposts and whines again.

They did invade multiple countries, they invaded Ukraine twice, but you would rather see them occupy more territories and ruin more lives, as long as you can pretend that occupation by an openly genocidal regime is peace.

Federation has nothing to do with that capability. git clone exists since the beginning of git.

I sit at home and when visiting someone as a guest. No mess, no cover positioning arguments, everyone’s happy for a meager cost of me potentially forgetting that this was supposed to be a quick in’n’out and writing this comment instead of rejoining the boring dystopia outside.

Finns would find this particularly ironic.

In the dark, with the other side obscured (or just broken), you don’t want the blinker to actively prompt you to come to a wrong conclusion.

It’s better to see a blinking light and think “I don’t see enough, gotta slow down” than see a blinking arrow and potentially not even realize it’s a turn signal.

Well, it’s when they start denying things that you need to start worrying.

Don’t compare someone’s highlight reel to your behind the scenes.

I once convinced someone that they are actually doing a great job by sharing my struggles and showing that they are not an impostor. They now outshine me and will go to even greater heights.

And while that one episode of dealing with burnout and impostor syndrome is a drop in the ocean of their persistence, it’s a great illustration to how misleading comparison to others is.

PS: Also, if you have ADHD, you’re nearsighted in time. That doesn’t only mean “you can’t plan well”, it means “your life looks like a hazy blob, where others see a complex scenery”. And that can be devastating when doing a comparison. Be kind to yourself, be kind to others.
