'as much as anyone' = they don't like it

As a former software developer, now turned student (studying theology while I train to become a pastor), Typst has been great for writing my dissertation with one notable exception…

Goroutines are green threads.

Rust needs to be careful that it doesn't invite the type-programming crowd in too much. Even if individual features are helpful, the cultural effect on the programming language in …

Thanks too for the detailed reply. You've made a good case and persuaded me to take a closer look at their reporting in the future!

I completely agree with criticism of expansion of government powers in some contexts but my original point was about gaining perspective and avoiding sensationalism, which I argue …

Thanks for your considered reply, and I do appreciate my initial post was somewhat exaggerated and done in frustration. Your own evidence, however -- albeit expressed less polemica…

100%. Unfortunately, rather than rebut the substance of your argument, people are voting you down (and the same for my own similar comment). It is convenient for certain parts of t…

As a Brit, I find it very hard to believe that the majority of comments in this thread are not either written out of ignorance or are bots. The article is from an anarchist organis…

Just to correct slightly, I suspect most people who write Go WebAssembly are using https://tinygo.org/ , which also achieves starting binaries in the 10kb range.

The brigades are out, but most people in the UK have a high level of trust in the BBC ( https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/45744-which-media-out... ). This whole incident is a …

The problem is that people are frequently using SPA JS frameworks for things that are clearly not gmail of figma -- i.e. news websites and other sites with minimal interactivity or…

AMP is both a Javascript framework, and a wider page contract that facilitates CDN inclusion. I believe the parent is referring to the Javascript framework, which itself has many n…

While I agree with this article's conclusion, I think it conflates political/market objections to AMP (i.e. abuse of monopoly power) with technical concerns. For a time, I tech-led…

You are correct, I meant John Mark :(.

The article is polemical, which I don't mean as a criticism but simply as genre description. There is no attempt to engage with the scholarly consensus (or indeed any of biblical s…

You are overstating the case on authorship (we don't know who wrote Matthew and John) but otherwise you are wholly correct -- the article misrepresents the scholarly consensus. I.e…

It is not correct to assert this. More precise is to say: it is unlikely that all of the gospels were written by the names we now associate with them -- at least not insofar as the…

This is not correct. Secular academics disagree quite a lot about the specifics as we lack sufficient historical data but it is very widely accepted that: * the gospels were writte…

I think your thinking is short-termist and naive. Naive because: * Putin will use any pause in fighting that doesn't come with credible security guarantees to rearm and continue (h…

No, that is too cynical a take. The UK gives a lot of resources to Ukraine, has offered 'boots on the ground' as part of a peace deal, and is increasing its defence going forward.

The problem is, Putin will not stop at Ukraine if he is allowed to take it. His worldview is that the fall of the USSR is the greatest wrong of the last century, and he is determin…
