For anyone who might be confused about the pardoning a turkey reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Thanksgiving_Turkey_P...

Perhaps you could refrain from slandering Rust proponents without any evidence.

I think the real question has to be: how do we determine what the regulations should be. Today, regulations are typically the product of dysfunctional political processes, and, no …

> but not everything is necessarily backed by the same kind of heap-allocated memory object. Do you have an example, I thought literally everything in Python did trace to a PyObjec…

The problem is that sometimes it is not a necessary condition. Rather, the tests might have been checking implementation details or just been wrong in the first place. Now, when te…

Some thoughts: - It says that 3/4 of people kept working; to me, that seems like a big drop. - Data is based on a survey of people in the program; I distrust data from surveys on p…

There is likely a cost to the infrastructure necessary to enable calling 911 that scales with the number of users not the number of 911 calls. Where I'm at, there is a 75 cent per …

Then I'm sure you're willing to donate the cash to make it happen.

Perhaps - but they could just do what Microsoft did: bundle a version of Chromium.

It sounds to me like you are thinking something like: if they use XML, they'll have a well defined schema and will follow standardized XML types. But if they use JSON they may not …

My specific claim was that you could represent it in JSON, so you can't claim, as the post I responded to did, that JSON "cannot be used." I'll fully grant, I don't want to write a…

I think I can see something of where you're coming from. But a question: You complain about dates in JSON (really a specific case of parsing text in JSON): > If they implement date…

`{ type: "p", children: [{type: "text", text: "How would you represent "}, {type: "b", children: [{type: "i", children: [{type: "text", text: "mixed content"}]], {type: "text", tex…

What actually prevents JSON from being used in these spaces? It seems to me that any XML structure can be represented in JSON. Personally, I've yet to come across an XML document I…

Really? Is there no level of compensation that would make you think that getting punched was worthwhile?

Well, if they did that, then people could expect/demand stability with regard to what scenarios get the checks/panics optimized out. This would be a bit of a burden for the Rust ma…

But the great thing about Rust is that the panic traces back to the exact place where I thought something couldn't be None, but it was. In Java, I frequently found it mysterious wh…

I think the causation runs in the opposite direction. These exceptions for these platforms were implemented in an inefficient fashion BECAUSE they thought that exceptions should al…

My wish: people stop using the dumb line that exceptions are gotos.

To attempt a more measured response: given that the NRLB hasn't gotten involved in any company with this policy that's clearly not true.

I'm sorry for my earlier responses. I was becoming ill, didn't realize it, and that messes with my temper. One day I'll learn not to argue with people on the internet when that hap…

The difference is that me and others have repeatedly explained why you are wrong in this thread, and you keep repeating the same nonsense assertions.

You are wrong. Since you show no signs of recognizing that, or providing any reason to back up your assertions, I'm done with this conversation.
