"You're ignoring what I said", says the guy who proceeds to repeat himself ignoring what I said. > You "can" have subsidized retail hardware But neither corporation's shareholders …

It is not proof of collusion that they abandoned bespoke hardware right as consumer hardware was getting good. That is exactly when you want to abandon bespoke hardware. It is not …

If you put numbers on a package, the consumer will choose the bigger numbers. Taking some statistic out of context like "the typical consumer does not take reasonable account of pr…

Claude is a next-token predictor, appending to a long text document. Prompts aren't an independent kind of thing from policy documents. It's all text in the backscroll.

It doesn't need embedding. But if it did, cpython is trivial to embed, and beats starlark in that it already has all the features your users (and Claude) know about.

Plugins and IPC do not replace configuration, though configuration may invoke or enable plugins.

It is good to keep a configuration simple enough that it doesn't need to be a programming language. The absolute moment you find yourself thinking of putting conditional logic, or …

You can easily compare to the figures for other games that are also on GamePass. Another Crab's Treasure, for example, had 4.7k Steam players on launch, of a similar nicheness stra…

Which games of their output were Xbox exclusive? They were basically transitioning into a publishing house with no real hardware impact. In fact what did Phil in finally was trying…

There are also many challenges to implementing an original TCP library.

It's not very complicated to import the QUIC library, or to import the HTTP library with HTTP/3 supported. For the library authors, QUIC isn't more complicated to implement than TC…

I don't feel entitled to personal isolation from people who might want to strike up a conversation. If I'm not in the mood, I'll just say so. I feel entitled to personal isolation …

Yes this, yes that, yes the other, because proxies are in agreement with patterns are in agreement with the HTTP spec that methods exist and have semantic and functional requiremen…

What are you talking about? The point of WASI is to stabilize WASM's access to OS APIs. It uses the component model to do this, which is bound to by languages that compile to WASM …

We evaluated Extism and concluded that it did basically nothing that WASI and the component model didn't already do out of the box. Was your experience different?

WASI is the best format for code submitted by users, entirely untrusted, which is in principle of any complexity but expected to be pretty simple. It works on any platform, in any …

The present component model is "simple and stable". It is presently providing "interoperability between different ecosystems" and has been for years. It has basically nothing in co…

I walk to the grocery store, and can't walk to a data center.

I don't think any of this relates to the post it's replying to. I appreciate the totally failed attempt to psychoanalyze my emotions, though. If you think I'm 'confused, surprised,…

None of the languages you mentioned support this 'eager_fallback' feature, no. I am not stuck on any one application of the feature (you'll notice I referred both to the individual…

If someone spouts untruths, that is a failing of theirs. Talking about how there's emotions of theirs that back this promulgation of untruths, emotions which you could understand i…

Why is the guy being rigorous worthy of criticism, but the guys being idiots aren't? Did you post any similar calm-down comments in either of the HN threads on the original attacks…

In none of the languages you mentioned do stdlib functions either return an iterator or a list depending on whether you feed it into an iterator operation; in none of the languages…
