> We do not grant access to our license plate readers to federal law enforcement. That sounds very weasel worded, if they get license plate readers from someone who does.

Thats not the point, if there were a better proprietary engine stockfish would still be there as a baseline. Anyone can access an engine as good as stockfish to practice against. A…

Another noteworthy difference is that Stockfish is also gpl.

It would be nice if OP noted what caused the change in their opinion? did datafusion gain some feature that they noted was missing in the previous article, or did something in thei…

What I was (badly) trying to express was more that given static bounds rust could also eliminate dynamic checks. So saying e.g. ATS can eliminate static checks, is kind of switchin…

those are not dynamic bounds.

It is fine though if people who don't knit enjoy knitting podcasts, but this is not that. Somewhere between the producer/consumer relationship there should exist some actual knitti…

I'd also say a few things, if knitting takes a long time consider how long it takes to make a good clear pattern so that others can replicate it. People who make patterns are alrea…

Seriously? You can't get the feeling of satisfaction of wearing something, or having someone wear something you made from AliExpress. My point is your sense of feeling and validati…

Can't wear feelings and validation...

My only complaint with the article is that it doesn't seem to mention that digitized proofs can contain gaps but that those gaps must be explicit like in lean the `sorry` function,…

In FCC DA 26-68 they gave public notice of their change of interpretation/enforcement of the equal time rules to apply to this situation.

Definitions are built up layer upon layer like an onion too, with each step adding it's own invariants reducing the problem space. I just feel like the street light example is an e…

Maybe it can be done, but I struggle to believe adding in that branch for every forall quantifier (which may be plentiful in a proof) is going to help make a proof more understanda…

Rhetorical sentence? My point is that back-translation into natural langauge is translating into a less precise form. How is that going to help? No number of additional abstraction…

why do we invent these formal languages except to be more semantically precise than natural language? What does one gain besides familiarity by translation back into a more ambiguo…

Sure, in the Result case, less in the option case. I didn't mention it because Infallible is documented and named specifically as an Error "The error type for errors that can never…

The sum of the note and the gpl doesn't behave as though the notice has any precedence over the gpl. It behaves as additional restrictions and a license that allows you to ignore t…

> Proprietary use, commercial redistribution, or publishing modified versions with ads or tracking is strictly prohibited under GPLv3 or later. These all sound to me like "Further …

I feel like another optimization that rust code can exploit is uninhabited types. When combined with generics and sum types these can lead to entire branches being unreachable at t…

I always feel that when saying lex/yacc style tools, it comes with a lot of preconceived notions that using the tools involves a slow development cycle with code gen + compilation …

I would also say there is a 3rd class, which are distributed capabilities. When you look at a mobile program such as the GadgetBridge which is synchronizing data between a mobile d…

I couldn't agree with you more, the thing is our underlying security models are protecting systems from their users, but do nothing for protecting user data from the programs they …

I wasn't able to google it, or find a public link to the email (but it was posted on a public list) so here is some relevant snippets from it. Nov 20 2022 titled CapROS status "Whe…

Yeah, I did see a email on a capabilities list from him about him no longer working on it because of lack of feedback & wanting to just enjoy his retirement. That was the impressio…
