How do you compare a system where the communication channel goes only one way in a single country to a system where everyone potentially contributes to the content and is distribut…

So you were criticizing the C language syntax, without considering the context which it was designed in. Just to give this context a little bit more substance, Pascal was designed …

I don't really know what you mean by "worst-designed syntax". Do you mean that the design process was bad, or that the result is bad?

I'm not sure I understand this article, but the argument you present seems to be that when considering P and NP as relational objects, they don't have the same signature, thus cann…

You should probably have linked the whole work which is briefly referenced at the end of the article, and isn't yet indexed by search engines. I found it by myself: https://zenodo.…

The linking stage could perhaps be performed at process launch by a privileged task? See this comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46494183 Isn't a virtual ISA like…

What I meant, and indeed it was poorly explained, is that an address shouldn't be just an integer freely manipulable by any instruction. The microcode will obviously know how to an…

> Code has to have addresses for calls and branches. Does it mean that at that level an address has to be an offset in a linear address space? If you have hardware powerful enough …

But that address doesn't have to be visible at the ISA level.

There are channels in place to discuss security matters in open source. I am by no mean an expert nor very interested in that topic, but just searching a bit led me to https://oss-…

Indeed nobody does that, because it would just be pointless, it doesn't expose the real issue. Is a security vulnerability a symptom, or the real issue though? Doesn't it depends o…

If it is faulty, then it's not a bug, it's a flaw.

It's difficult to really know what was the intent without seeing the actual prompt of the painter. Comment [intentionally] designed to look like generative AI.

I stumbled on this: https://lobste.rs/s/qoqfwz/inverse_parentheses#c_n5z77w which should provide the answer.

I think ungrouping make sense if you consider reverse parentheses as a syntactic construct added to the language, and not replacing the existing parentheses. For instance, using "]…

Shouldn't there be an argument for best effort? If the issue has been removed as soon as it has been detected, doesn't it count for something?

You're correct.
