    GraphQL is less complicated than querying dozens of interdependent REST queries.

    Well they don’t need Reddit to see who is seeding. But posting to Reddit can easily be done through Tor or proxies.

    I assume the pirates are using Tor or a proxy anyway though?

    I once discovered that a very large org had AD configured in such a way that you could see “last seen at” timestamp for everyone profile in the company. It would have been trivial …

    Why do we need a templating language at all? Syntax is inferior to data.

    But if x is an int, the result is an int If x is a list, the result is a list I don’t think that the type system can describe this.

    You probably should have your dog belted in to a chest harness. Check your insurance policy.

    The hardware is better because of RnD, funded by high margins due to software lock-in. Not sure why people struggle to see the connection here.

    How would most things work on such a small screen? I think the Apple Watch will become increasingly standalone.

    There was also much more low hanging fruit back then. Making significant contributions to a field only required scratching the surface.

    This is the problem. Microsoft does not have a strong product function in Windows so no one can push back on this bullshit in the first place.

    I once would have agreed with you, but the advertisements and pushiness in Windows are simply unacceptable at this point.

    Telegraph readers skew wealthy so probably own a private vegetable patch.

    How would they define lisp? To me Lisp means programs in list syntax with prefix notation.

    To me what’s missing is a functional programming language that is statically typed and has an extreme emphasis on performance. C++ meets Haskell, but not terrible.

    Zig, Odin and Jai are the main contenders. I don’t think backward C compatibility is a good idea, since the C syntax has issues. Instead a transpilation tool from C could be built.…

    C# is more like Java than C++

    Exclusivity made everyone think so. Groundbreaking marketing, for a webmail service.

    What if Rust compiled to C? Wouldn’t that be a good way to support long tail platforms with low effort?

    Immutable structures cannot be cyclical. Maybe I’m missing something?

    USA is a large closed economy. China is a large open economy. I’m simplifying, but the bottom line is China definitely doesn’t want a Cold War scenario.
