The reality is that it's much easier to bring a lawsuit over damage done to shareholders (dropped stock value is measurable and easy to see, security fraud), than it is to bring a …

Pretty sure this is generally called "Anarcho communism".

All of this could've been prevented if Go just had two ways to compile. Debug and release. The go devs decided against this since they didn't want to build a highly optimizing (rea…

> These new C4A instances are advertised as offering up to 50% better performance and up to 60% better energy efficiency than their current generation x86 instance types. Hardware …

Is anyone surprised by this? Chris Lattner in high regard, sure, but I always expected them to have to quietly walk this one back. It just didn't seem feasible, for a lot of reason…

Do we really need more syntactic sugar? Frankly, I am still confused why Python is going for a separate syntax for if expressions instead of just making its regular ifs into expres…

Zig is not even close to a 1.0 beta this year. Or even next year. For example, the async problem still exists and still has absolutely no viable path forward, or even MVP approach.…

Afaik specialisation (in full generality) would cause soundness issues, so it's not even just blocked by the trait solver, it's also blocked by figuring out a 'slimmed down' propos…

I don't think civilians regularly carry military-grade pagers. And fwiw, I heard of two tragic cases of children dying, which sounds remarkably low to me so far. If this were truly…

Apart from the issue where this ignores how many people got injured (a much larger number), there's a very simple "survival bias" reason (ironically) why this argument doesn't work…

Honestly struggling to comprehend how this one isn't neutral. As far as we know this was a supply-chain attack specifically on military pagers actively used by Hezbollah, and (righ…

This is semantically not the same as a sum type (as understood in the sense of Rust, which is afaik the academically accepted way)! Python's `A | B` is a union operation, but in Ru…

The original rust compiler was written in OCaml. That's not evidence it "had an influence", but it's highly striking considering how many other languages Greydon could've used.

HOTA?

You sound like you'd enjoy giving the Helix editor a try. It replaced neovim completely for me.

So now you're writing two compilers. What did you actually gain from this, outside of more work?

Have you read the article? > As async is already used as an identifier in C#, the team decided to use async2 as a codename for the experiment. If that thing ever makes it into the …

How much of a background do your have in abstract algebra? I don't think category theory makes much sense or is very satisfying unless you can already list a bunch of categories yo…

The first time I looked at the syntax, it honestly looked like gibberish to me. It's probably simple, but the control flow just felt convoluted.

Thank you

I had some issues with this very early when I got mine, but I think this went away completely. I feel like this was a software issue, and is now fixed (well, at least part of it).

I think the much rounder corners, as well as the round camera bulge look terrible. These were significantly better in the previous iterations.

Which Pixel was that? I'm really happy with mine (7a)

This like a bad idea on the first glance? Maybe I don't get the whole pitch here? It just doesn't seem worth it to define a whole new thing just to abstract over a format() functio…
