Will the AI allow me to disable the big blue "bing chat" button that shows up every time I try to search for something?

I used linux for many years. Ultimately, I like my laptop's touchpad and trackpoint to remain functional. Believe me, I have tried.

>I end up using my music gear (which is unfortunately all crammed in my home office) Same here, I like to think of it as my studio , a place where I do creative things. Same crammed room but it so…

Are they going to rename the company to "Brain" now?

I live in a country with one of the richest water tables in the world. Due to (a forecasted!) drought and lack of planning we're literally running out of water to drink. It's like Saudi Arab…

At this point I'm not sure progress is due to Moore's Law as stated originally (cheaper compute) than it is due to companies just spending more on compute. Effect is the same for now, but wi…

Looking into the past, I think it's more likely that the development would be analogous to what happened to old industrial zones in developed cities, such as SoHo in Manhattan. People started mov…

If the trend in office usage keeps going, it's not long before these white elephants in the middle of cities will be considered of "negative value". Empty monoliths in very valuable lot…

Maybe people will start living in them and real estate costs will go down. Truly catastrophic for the readers of Bloomberg.

By that analogy, most drugs are not suitable for children, and for the ones that are it's never good to allow a child to self-medicate. It's always an adult giving ibuprofen to a child when…

These "undemocratic" institutions only exist precisely because the constitution is hard to change. The electoral college, the gerrymandering, the shape of the Senate, they are all things t…

Many countries update their constitutions much more regularly and don't have that sort of thing happen to them. Why do you think the US would be any different?

From the point of view of the worker, it's the same thing -- you were employed with the expectation of stability, now you're getting fired and have to find another job before your family end…

I guess the actual analogy to tapes or CDs would be carrying around a pile of blank tapes vs tapes with recordings on them -- same weight, different amount of music

That's how it works for an object's attributes inside methods, since this is optional by default. I hate it but there's precedent.

The same way an anonymous internet person defaults to male American, "European" defaults to "Western Europe", which actually means "The original EU members, plus maybe England…

What I didn't like about the "Clean code, horrible performance" video is that he talked about "clean" code as though it was this unjustified, useless way of thinking about pro…

it does run pretty slow under load though, and they have acknowledged it's due to this

nice

So what would you propose exactly? Make it illegal to not own a home so the police can throw these people in jail for being too poor to be around?

In countries that are not the USA?

>I'm asking whether or not it's reasonable for HBO to make a killing off his work The difference is that in this case, everybody would be free to adapt it as they see fit. HBO doesn'…

But think of the lost copyright fees!

It was always this way. Replace Google with your neighbor who owns an encyclopedia, or the local priest. Caring about research, truth, and sources has always been something that only a minority cares …

It isn't guaranteed to be accurate for any of these cases, so the difference is irrelevant here.

I love how in every C code snippet on every comment on this thread, somebody got something wrong. I take it as a sign that it's probably best to avoid C as much as possible.

I get it, but then, why change it now? (or 6 years ago I guess)

Half of the new features of "modern" C++ editions leave me agreeing with the change but wondering what they were thinking before. Another example: std::map::contains was introduced in C++20;…

Yeah I don't think it's cheap in absolute terms, just that it's probably as cheap as you can get it right now. I don't think they have left any corners uncut with that car.

Surprised the Chinese automakers haven't been mentioned. BYD is currently the world's largest EV seller. The Dolphin for example is exactly what you mention -- as basic an EV can get, and pr…
