I wonder how long it takes to build, and how quickly it builds executables, compared to the new stuff.

I don't feel that the way you are paraphrasing me represents what I am trying to say at all, and I feel misunderstood. I do think the phrase "appeal to civility" was fine, but the …

There has got to be a way to be strong against a cause without being strong against the people who represent it. I believe this devolves to violence otherwise.

I appreciate the response, and I can relate. Perhaps I'm too sensitive to some rumblings I'm perceiving in the US at the moment. I don't know. I genuinely do not know.

When you say "listen before rejecting," what would you have me do differently? To call what I'm saying "rejection" seems a bridge too far from what I am intending to say, also. I a…

After reading some other comments on what I wrote, I guess I'm just surprised if/that he doesn't know this will offend people, and I see a simple way to make his point without doin…

When you put it that way, I have no issue agreeing wholeheartedly. He’s making an example of incel culture as it appears to him to apply to software culture. After I describe it th…

The OP is not citing their claims, but their commentary. Do you understand why I find that to be different than citing their findings? We're not talking percentages here.

At this point GL is an interface, implementations will come and go, but the interface refuses to die. It's still the simplest way to get started, and the browser (WebGL) demands po…

Don't let the downvotes get you down. They don't know who funds or constitutes METR. If you actually read these papers, you'll find they cite themselves 4-5 times each publication.…

I read the study. The wager is: $0.10 awarded for a correct answer $0.10 deducted for a wrong answer $0.00 (no change for a refusal to answer) There was no detail on whether partic…

> You're getting downvoted because your argument is cosmetic, egotistical, and useless. Ouch. (sincerely) I hate to think my ego might be so large and detailed that it could be so …

These are legitimate complaints, and I meant for "if you can afford it" to do a lot of lifting in my first comment.

I'm talking about design flaws, not engineering details. I would appreciate if you would respond in spirit. I do think the list I gave is odd, and it is so because it's kind of a m…

I started bowling in my teens and as a programmer have often wondered about how these things work, and have had a few opportunities to peek under the hood of the machines. Incredib…

If you're starting a new project and can afford it, please for the love of the children, use a different systems language. In so many ways Odin, Rust, Zig, whatever are better. The…

I really like this idea. I was reading a post earlier about how Go generics are implemented, and how they're sort of leveraging root GC-types in the "runtime" to avoid the same blo…

What does your application do?

Yeah, I tried to just tuoch that because it is highly personal. I don't think I entirely understand the post's point about "inherent traits that don't depend on usage." All tools h…
