GPT chat to the rescue!

I think it is more efficient if you need power conversion i.e. gear shifting.

Presenting a list view of article titles like HN or reddit will significantly improve the user experience on this site. It will let people directly jump to any article that piques their interest and they would not have to wade through the things they do not want to read.

> outside of college towns, you are going to be surprised at the actual education and literacy levels about anything

Surprised how?

Yes it is. To put it bluntly a large portion of the American population is scientifically illiterate. Some of them believe the earth is around 6000 years old. They even have museums dedicated to such things.

The emperor has no clothes.

So many horror stories. As a counter point I'd like to say as a brown person my stay in Germany was nothing but pleasant. Everyone was super friendly and tried their best to talk to me in English. I wish I learned some German. I lived there for about a year.

Yes, no idea what the OP is going on about.

"Quantity is a quality of its own."

Why not ...

  x, y = minmax(x, y)

And assemble the devices in China?

A veritable tricoder in the making! Interesting times ahead.

LOL.

Boycott Ticketmaster and its venues. Just don't go to these concerts.

Not really, it is very easy to do this in hardware.

This isn't how things work on Linux. It keeps the file "alive" as long as there is at least one process using it. Any processes which do not have the file open already will not be able to see it but those that do can keep using it. The file will be deleted when all processes release the file.

One does not follow from the other. You can declare your stack variable anywhere in the function and still have the same stack layout. It is upto the compiler/language designer (I am not talking about C per se).

Agreed. My previous reply just pointed out that 1 is not "how many full years have elapsed since you were born?". The answer to this question is still 0.

They are not even though they start counting from 1. The child is still zero years old.

This is meaningless. Everything is metric and nonmetric at the same time by this definition since you can always find a linear equation which let's you convert between the systems.

Talking and hearing about the US is fun but I mainly come here for the tech news.

This does not track. If you had a 100 way split and still ended up with just one choice per customer you are doing something wrong.

It seems unrestricted capitalism and the free market eventually leads to a complete take over by monopolies. Case in point: USA.

I don't think so. This only applies to mobile phones. What outdoor rated smart products did you have in mind?

Enforced at port of entry (customs).

Type inference changes things. It's awesome that it can beat handwritten C and Fortran code.

No, he is sleeping when he is off duty.

Yes but C++ is strongly and statically typed. Julia is not even running in the same race as C++.

Yes, what other way could he have done it other than shooting his own foot off? LOL.

Then it is not a replacement for C++. It's going to be slow.
