Data art is anti-dada.

Don't forget that Webkit (e.g, Safari) and Blink (Chrome) are quite different these days.

Also consider, for example, Brave. https://brave.com/why-brave-disables-floc/

Sustainable development eans more like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy to me. Information systems are very important in this regard IMHO. For most of human history i…

Those connotations probably depend on the country, tbh. I assume it's an American pov.

That being said, different languages have different natural "lowerings" from the syntax/semantics to some sort of isomorphism to mathematical logic. There is also the issue with ty…

I'd say v8 being nicely engineered and happening to be a JS engine made it natural as well

s/Node.js/perl Don't worry, we've all been there.

Reminds of wallstreet sell side firms front running their own clients.

That isn't a bad idea, but keep in mind, there is always a usability aspect (I'll just call it the programmer computer interface problem) of "what makes a programming language popu…

Gee, I remember when IDE tools cost $5000, then $650. I thought inflation was supposed to go the other way :-)

Chromium is Chrome with a lot of code ripped out. Specifically most things that interact with google, widevyne, etc.

There is Oracle risk to be sure, but people using the greater java ecosystem are far less tied to the JVM itself than they used to be because of cross compilation to targets that h…

Here is some nuance with Rust's OOP relative to java/go/c++: https://stevedonovan.github.io/rust-gentle-intro/object-orie... If you know haskell, Rust's traits are very similar to …

Simula(67) definitely was the original concept/implementation of OO. Smalltalk, C++, Java, etc all derived different aspects of it. - Main abstraction are classes (of objects). - C…

servo is written in rust, not firefox. The firefox codebase is quite old, while servo was written from scratch, being the first new web codebase in years.

> Code converted from C to Rust seems much more voluminous. I haven't seen that in practice. A good point of reference are implementations of things like ruby, python, or the erlan…

I remember working on some correlation-based speculative branch prediction algorithms in college (mid 2000s), and accidentally coming across similar "bugs" with chips back then. Of…

Fuzzing is ROI efficient (especially for time invested) even if you don't intend to find a segfault, but just want to see how a program works or performs across different input sta…

I recommend this book first actually to make sure you understand topology from a higher level perspective: https://www2.math.upenn.edu/~ghrist/notes.html It does a more panoramic v…

I think there were some (related, I think!) proposals here: https://github.com/rust-lang/lang-team/issues/23 https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/3000

I think you can assume all sorts of analog/physical/digital/information theoretic fingerprinting probably has been used to capture huge volumes of data and microtarget people w/o t…

Meanwhile, in Texas, there are very few high voltage (usually called HVDC) interconnects between West Texas (where there is a huge amount of wind and solar but it is variable), and…
