    Mine is obsessed with "planes". Data plane, control plane, management plane. Everything is a plane :)

    I interpreted this as a visual bug with the sprites. As a sailor, I love seeing ads or other random imagery of sailboats that's clearly photoshopped, with sails in nonsensical orie…

    This stood out to me too - there's an underlying assumption that private entities _can_ say no to governments, but that's only true to a point. If the government decides it needs A…

    The problem with "the language tooling is already a build system" is that cross-language dependency chains are a thing. The moment you need a Rust or Zig file to be regenerated and…

    One major disadvantage here is the lack of training data on a "new" language, even if it's more efficient. At least in the short term, this means needing to teach the LLM your lang…

    More the latter. The lock guard is not `Send`, so holding it across the await point makes the `impl Future` returned by the async function also not `Send`. Therefore it can't be pa…

    What I want the most here is transparency. If a creator thinks they can make better videos by partnering with a media company, great. I'm happy to judge for myself if their content…

    This is also a core design principle of Angular - the compiler extracts the static template structure and generates code to update dynamic bindings within it.
