Governments are famously tolerant of other actors seeking to rival or usurp their power.

You should try writing it out. Doing it without introducing another unpredictable branch is harder than it looks. I discussed this with a coworker earlier this week and the best th…

Worth noting that as written the "trick" results in memory usage proportional to the size of the input rather than the output. If the filter rejects most of the input the differenc…

Yes, diversification results in lower returns than investing in just the best performing asset class.

Many people don't have a "rest of their portfolio".

Generally the default fund in a decent 401(k) (employer managed but largely employee funded retirement plan) will be a "target date retirement fund" that contains a mix of equities…

Unless you've checked it for accuracy why would I read your AI-generated documentation when I can ask my AI (which in a month or two will be a newer, better model than what you use…

My memory is a bit fuzzy but I think you're correct.

We've seen b before. React was controversially released with a similar clause and ultimately Facebook dropped it and used a standard open source license. Their lawyers really love …

Painfully slow tok/s though.

If you show up at a US port of entry without any sort of anything the default decision is to deny entry (exceptions for Canadian citizens and citizens of a few small islands). If y…

That already happens. Witness all the random "bans" and "pauses" Trump has instituted against various nationalities and groups of people at the border.

As someone who doesn't follow databases that closely, how is this different from Amazon Aurora (other than being open source)?

IMO the threat model is more letting the agent loose on issues/PRs in a public Github repo and it getting tricked into running a malicious payload.

If Unity had 2.5 users anyone had heard of before the switch you can see where the motivation might (at least emotionally) come from.

I have bad news for you about where ClickHouse comes from then.

In the one statement case, clang emits LLVM IR where the last operation in each branch is the store. In the two statement case, clang emits LLVM IR where the last operation in each…

I'm not sure it's a "technique" but the general insight worth taking away from this is that compiler authors often write optimizers to recognize specific patterns so writing your c…

> And how many years of being passed over for promotions, I wonder. He was Vice President of Product Design when he left Apple. How many more promotions could there be?

I don't disagree with what you're saying but I want to point out that it's rather unusual for (American) ambulances to carry blood, and probably more of them should. https://www.re…

> Back then I found the Rust community had interest and respect for Zig, so the discourse was very much one sided. In hindsight (and at risk of starting a flame war), it's easier t…

If they did the opposite and called it Mygres or whatever people would give them shit for that too.

> what's a single concept in C (e.g. "the pointer") easily has a dozen specialized equivalents in Rust That "the pointer" is a single concept in C is the root cause of absurd numbe…

I make no claim as to whether the change makes sense given that I didn't look at the callers of this function, but Result is an entirely reasonable pattern in Rust. If you want the…
