Just like the Catholic inquisition was a desperate attempt to exercise control all the while the Church was losing the ideological battle.

> Now this might seem like a hack, but it really is not. Most languages would either ask the programmers to explicitly call free() or implicitly call a magic runtime.deallocate() w…

I mean. He wanted to rebuild a forest. That's pretty ambitious but he needed money. Some evil company gave him money. Why should he refuse? Do you think that, in order to avoid giv…

This might work for hard sciences, but not for mathematics. Or, I dunno, paleontology or sociology or other stuff.

The difference is that web apps are on a tight sandbox.

Go needs to allocate a growing stack on the heap, needs to move it around, etc. It's not as efficient as Rust's async.

This makes sense. Thanks for the insight.

This kind of stuff should be on the stdlib if it's meant to be idiomatic.

Doesn't Pocket require a sign in too?

This stuff feels like a proof of concept that isn't really integrated to the rest of the language (Kinda like OCaml's OO). For example, it's unfortunate that Type, UniqueType and B…

This is called compatibilism and yeah it seems to be a mainstream view in the academic debate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibilism https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/compati…

bitcoins introduce an artificial scarcity with its mining algorithm (there's only so much bitcoins out there)

FISA is a rubber stamp court with zero oversight. In America they spy on dissidents too. It's just a matter of calling them terrorists. https://www.aclu.org/blog/national-security/…

That's cool! Do you know how RenrakuOS compares to Singularity and Midori? (IIRC they were also managed and ran .NET stuff)

Hey, does MNT Reform run coreboot?

It wasn't an easter egg, it was advertising. Preinstalled in my fucking web browser.

Dude, Wordpress supports RSS, and it powers the web. For those that use it, RSS works just fine.

Resolution isn't really brute force search, in that it doesn't search all possible solutions at random; the search is directed by the programmer's rules. But yeah, it involves quit…

You can't take the code as-is and turn it into proprietary code. You need to build a derivative work that contains the permissive code plus some other proprietary stuff.

This confusion/imprecision is only common among non-technical people. When a software project describes themselves as open source, in the overwhelming majority of cases they actual…
