I like this one for VSCode: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=RobbOwen...

You've got it exactly right, many people in the US care far more about compliance with and respect for authority than they do about rule of law.

The way it sounds from reading the article is X11's design fundamentally is that bad for modern hardware, which is why almost all of the active graphics development is focused on r…

Lifetime analysis matters a lot for way more than just garbage collection. File handles, iterators, mutex guards, database transaction handles, session types, scoped threads, anyth…

What are some examples of sound programs you want to write in Rust but are unable to write?

I've struggled quite a bit with problems that feel similar to your description. This book is what helped me the most: https://www.carolynspring.com/shop/unshame-paperback/

Policy Prediction Markets.

I understand that you're not personally advocating for this position, but I'm glad you brought it up, because I really resent this kind of "Here's an imaginable scenario where this…

I desperately wish there was a country I could move to where civilization actually invested meaningfully in things that actually matter.

Having worked in SV for so long, it's hard to really imagine what this would actually look like. What are some examples of important work with decent pay in an inexpensive area tha…

If they don't want to bother with leap seconds, why are they even using UTC? Why can't they just use TAI instead?

For most people working a career as a programmer, how much of their time in that career is going to be spent as an inexperienced beginner programmer? I agree that Rust is a profess…

We already have a way, reference counting and locking, the same way it's handled in most dynlangs.

I am also not a biologist, but I apparently think I know some of this? Hopefully if I'm wrong enough, a real biologist can correct me. :) I think we're still very far from arbitrar…

I do in fact plow unthinkingly into using concurrency quite frequently, and it works out quite well. I just unthinkingly use techniques like "just throw it in a dedicated thread", …
