I could be wrong, but the sentence "Flix precisely tracks the purity of every expression in a program." together with some examples of function definitions without the purity/impur…

I don't think it's actually a problem. Taste can guide the direction skill needs to go.

If you fail to see the difference, maybe study the subject matter a little more?

Indeed, if I'm not mistaken Netflix at least used to use (and commit to kernel) FreeBSD on content servers because of its superior sendfile performance

But in that case it's hard to argue that llm's are cheap in comparison to search (the premise of the article)

Don't know if it was intentional, but your ramble reminded me of the lyrics of Losing my edge by LCD Soundsystem. However, as someone who also experienced most of this stuff, it wa…

This comment is very misplaced. I'm Dutch and I wrote my comment not because the retailer is German, but because it are desktop CPU sales figures from a single retailer whose custo…

Yeah, the title feels a bit misleading, because it's only true in a very narrow context.

The subject is the ability to make accurate up to date maps out of satellite imaginary. I fail to see how this is a counter argument against that.

Peak power draw is 12W, not 27W for the Rpi5 though.

> Germany, which a lot of Europeans don't have a positive opinion on (to put it mildly) Do you have a source for that, because that's not the impression I, as a non German European…

A bit pedantic I guess, but that still uses some syntactic sugar (optional brackets and keyword syntax). Removing all syntactic sugar would look like this: defmodule(Foo, [{:do, de…

Yes, using I/O as on/off, especially on power switches, for sure predates PlayStations.

So many memories playing around with a Spectra Video MSX as a kid. Mostly playing games, occasionally trying to draw stuf or making sounds using Basic. Some programs could only be …

> Incidentally this is public facing Internet servers. The % -inside- enterprises us much much higher. I can believe private enterprise usage is higher, but I imagine FAANG and sim…

Thanks a lot, that's quite the list and a good reminder to spend some more time browsing the Internet Archive!

I'm not OP, but I can at least give an argument against using a timestamp for sorting versions: for various reasons system time is not guaranteed to be monotonic, which can result …

> If anyone has experience with remote editing in a terminal editor, but not through an ssh shell (ie, the traditional way), I'm very interested in hearing your experience. As usua…

Thanks for the suggestion, never seen the movie!

Just like the Truman Show movie, I have always felt it's a bit underappreciated. So many great performances in that beautifully shot movie and such an emotional roller coaster. Alt…

What's the point of a comment like this? I think I disagree with your reply, but the lack of argument makes it difficult. While I wouldn't go as far as saying that elixir has the s…

So loading an external library or framework isn't Vanilla JS, but if I copy/paste the VanJS source into a script tag, nothing gets loaded, there's no syntax magic, just some functi…

> What sort of user is Gnome targeting ? I guess that would be me. I mostly work in the terminal and I just don't care that much about the window manager. As long as it's simple, w…

Kubernetes and the BEAM are actually a great match. Kubernetes for management and supervision of nodes/containers and the BEAM for management and supervision of processes. I see th…

As far as I know there are no Erlang projects with that ambition, but quite some interesting things are happening in the Elixir eco system: https://github.com/elixir-nx I'm a Elixi…
