You need the experience of building and maintaining a compiler to make a great language spec. The tsrs team specifically said they don't want to be trying to change the spec.

If they've made it a requirement, they will just tell you to unblock or be fired, like the woman in that OP.

That headline would be inaccurate. Persistent undo is different than cache. Cache implies a temporary copy of data whose actual existence is elsewhere. Persistent undo is advertised as persistent, not as temporary.

From a site selling the dice: "With these dice all players will have an equal chance of ranking first, second, third and fourth. And only one roll is required."

Wikipedia distinguishes between "go first fair" and "permutation fair". I believe Harshbarger wanted to find permutation fair dice.

Musk was confident we'd have people on Mars by the end of 2026, so maybe he's assuming we'll put the data centers there?

If the only way you know how to code is via LLM, it makes sense you would get defensive/ragey when someone discourages it.

Driving is currently subsidized in a variety of ways that hide it's true costs. Almost any effort to make driving's perceived cost closer to the real cost, including externalities, is a good thing.
