But Aaron Swartz did it for the benefit of other people. These fine people did it to uphold american values and enrich themselves at the expense of others. The law is clearly on th…

ssshhhhhh, the Rust Evangelism Squad will hear you.

To be fair that whole boat sailed with the "I'm a mac he is PC" series of adverts.

In a similar vein there is https://www.youtube.com/@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath

I tried this on a random Swedish person and she identified all of the names as people that sounded like a genius. Seems legit.

Nice. I'll have to try this. I may have ssh'd into a sleeping mac before and assumed that it had failed to sleep. I did not realise what it was doing.

It's ok to like different things - there is no need to attack a different approach. If you find the visual layout comfortable and accessible then thank you for answering the questi…

I prefer to use vite - you get handling of imports without needing a separate bundler step, but you get hot reload as well. I find it is a nicer experience, YMMV but it is good to …

I guess that I'm not the target audience for this - I like grep as UI on top of lsof, maybe in combination with less, and I've always found it fast and easy to use. For people that…

I'm finding it hard to parse your argument. Are you saying that large organizations would rather have cheap-but-mediocre programmers than good-but-expensive programmers? Why would …

This is a nice idea, I was jsut wondering how to do that. Another approach (if it is supported by the adaptor) is to configure WoL so that it does not need a magic packet. Some ada…

Fair point, I had not really considered it that way. You are correct.

> It's easy to write things like this when you're at the wrong end of the Dunning-Kruger bathtub Amusingly, only the most simplistic graphs of the Dunning-Kruger efect would portra…

So much hurt. Point on the doll to where the academic touched you.

You seem to be making a lot of assumptions, and it's unclear how much direct experience you have of being in a bad situation where the day-to-day job does become saying no. Some ex…

You don't know what their job was, or what kind of engineering decisions they were having to work around. You don't know what kind of corporate hieracrchy they were stuck in, or wh…

The project name sounded familiar: CETEC. It has taken a fair amount of googling to realise that it is not Setec (astronomy) and there are still secrets.

In my experience I've found it easier to write Python code. The set of basic types is a little larger, and the core builtins cover more of what I need to do. Lua is a bit more fidd…

Nice idea, as python is much easier to write code for than lua so should fit game scripting well. But, the examples are not the kinds of things that I would care about before tryin…

It's been more obvious that they are losing against SEO in the past few years. When searching for programming results it is rare for an authoritative source to be be above w3school…

As a former CS professor with some experience of curriculum design: looks quite reasonable. Personally I would have moved some of the material on compilers and architecture into th…

Why give free information to your adversary instead of ignoring their clicks silently?

No comparison is necessary. Many of the western-initiated wars were wrong, and should not have happened. That changes nothing about this war and its morality.

There is no real moat around risc-v for intel: they fon't own any of the ip and they're not ahead in fabs.
