  1. I was also confused, until I clicked “Home” and realized the link was not to the landing page.
  2. Weird, I have honestly never walked into a Barnes and Noble and had satisfaction with any of their technical content on the shelf. That pleasure died when we lost Borders.

    *Edit: spell correct kills me!

  3. Did anyone investigate this person to see if she’s being bought by any “Foreign” Gov’t?
  4. I imagine these would have to be flown out of specialized cargo airports. It would be a disaster coming out of Commercial airports.
  5. Not to mention, what happens in the event of damage to the towed aircraft rendering flight operations impaired such that it affects the towing aircraft?

    “Oh sh1t!” at 35K feet.

  6. I doubt the economics make it a viable use case.
  7. This just seems intentionally bad to show where Rust would be better. This is yet another example of what I call "corner-case" instruction, which I define as, "I am going to take an obviously terrible corner-case that shows what an awful developer can do that will break a program, then demonstrate my brilliance by introducing my (highly-biased) opinionated point I wanted to make..."

    In this particular case, it was subtly, Rust is preferred because it doesn't allow unsafe memory operations such as the one demonstrated. Really, all it demonstrates is that you can create really bad C++.

  8. "cash furnace", so aptly put.
  9. In the end, Streaming Services have proven to be nothing more than advertising platforms scattered with brief moments of content. The ads outweigh the content making it less cost effective than going back to Cable, which is still terrible also. Hence the need to pirate and control what content you see.
  10. It is still a very impressive feat of engineering.
  11. This is all well and good but, for my mileage, nothing can ever beat C++ generics and the RAII pattern when there is a choice between plain old C and C++ . One second while I get my fire-retardant suit on...
  12. Pretty cool app, OP. Thanks for sharing the details.
  13. Maybe...the cynic in me says that someone feels this needs to be preserved because it will become another Google relic in favor of something newer, or more shiny. Or likely something written in Go...just a guess on my part...
  14. With educational quality being less of a Political priority in this country, and the need to "teach to a standardized test" being more desired, surely these results should surprise no one, correct?
  15. Just curious if anyone else encountered this same error from the initial "docker run" command:

    docker: Error response from daemon: create ./pg-data: "./pg-data" includes invalid characters for a local volume name, only "[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]" are allowed. If you intended to pass a host directory, use absolute path.

  16. Any chance there are misfires due to changing the main spring? I have found Sig's can be set up with ultra sensitive (and light) triggers if you change the springs out.
  17. "Opinionated" is more appropriate. Ignorance often accompanies arrogance. Opinion, to me, at least contains a degree of knowledge.
  18. Hi,

    Just curious what the frequency of meetings you found to be most effective, weekly, bi-weekly etc?

    Thanks

  19. What version of DOS was the latest when Win 3.1 was released? 4.1 or something, wasn't it? Just curious.
