I don't think any C compiler has been single pass for the last 20 years. Typescript's analyses are also not that complicated, it's just that the typescript type checker is written …

ah shoot wait i just realized "take the greatest" goes in the other direction. doh

The $50 million punishment feels so insubstantial to Microsoft that they probably wouldn't even think twice before doing similar things again or worse. Only things that could threa…

If this can't run full-local, isn't that basically a botnet? You're talking about installing a kernel-level driver that receives instructions on what to do from a cloud service.

This headline seems misleading; the way I'm reading this, it's still just a request to the courts, who will make the final decision right?

If companies are already willing to obscure chat logs, what's to say they won't begin manufacturing artificial logs (or editing existing logs) under this kind of pressure?

This entire article feels like it was written by ChatGPT. For instance, it continuously makes vague claims about the value of open source without even citing the original bill.

Same experience here, React is actually very good about backwards compatibility, and for anything that is pervasive, codemods via jscodeshift works pretty well too. I have had to m…

Without releasing source code and a transparent client build process this kind of claim is just kind of ...useless? If anything tells me they can't see my data and the client isn't…

exciting to hear! I only wish i had more time to contribute. Has there been any movement on migrating away from long polling (#475)? I didn't see anything about it in the announcem…

I wish that reputable reporting on this kind of topic would start putting accuracy next to what it can reportedly do. I remember visiting a machine learning poster session where ma…

I think this article confuses "simplicity" with "less code". Often times when we talk about simplicity, it's about overall conceptual design, and on the note of dependencies, it's …

> A benefit of atproto users is that they are transferable without needing an active server This is not exactly true, it just means the server that holds ur data (traditionally ins…

That's not the worst I've seen, either. Some other password sins include: - the password validation fails for reasons not listed entirely - the password box truncates passwords sil…

It seems to me that a lot of the problems discussed in this thread (it's using a new protocol that doesn't work with existing tools, it uses crypto, handles auth in the protocol, s…

I know this isn't really related to the whole copying ethics debate, but I definitely feel like there's some sort of foul play happening here. For all of the unlicensed projects ou…

Isn't this literally what Ring does?

Yeah... looking at this it seems like there's still some gaping holes, for example specifying javascript in particular leaves WebAssembly open which is arguably worse than non-free…

why does it feel like i'm seeing more rust game engines than actual games? (outside of toy 2048 clones)

Can't i just pop open my browser's console and: - Unix time converter: (unixtime) => new Date(unixtime) - Unix time converter reverse: (date) => ~~(date.getTime() / 1000) - JSON pr…

Assuming the semantics of programming languages are well-defined, I'm wondering if there's any software projects that we can confidently say are entirely bug-free and not requiring…

Looks like u didn't read the last word

tmux has scroll back, just hit ctrl-b [

Isn't the real advantage of using things like build systems the ability to customize the output build? You don't really see all this stuff going on behind the scenes but stuff like…

Arial (and Segoe UI now) should be readily available to windows users, and sans-serif should cover the rest I think.
