> I don't think this is true either - a large part of the Rust community seem to think that it's as complicated as it needs to be. As a beginner/outsider, I found it kind of cumber…

What does public control over governments mean?

If you care very much about not ever ending up in a bad state (which it seems that you do). Then just functional programming with immutable state is not going to cut it. In this re…

And all that can be done by the mov instruction no need to learn anything other than mov.

But is it slower than sha1? Which is the alternative if you don't roll your own in V8.

Immagine a world where every framework / API / database had its own incompatible UUID format. Without a standard specification that's where we would end up. Do you want to live in …

Some systems expect UUIDs so you don't always have that choice.

Well I mean in many countries, blocking the surveillance agency from listening in on your calls/texts/chats is illegal. So making an app that interferes with the agencies ability t…

I mean I wouldn't complain if they did.

What would that "something other" be? If the goal is to talk to a SQL database the output from the LLM would benefit from being SQL.

I dunno, upper management normally move onto greener pastures long before reality comes crashing down. That does not happen until two managers over. But that's okay the new plan wi…

I have heard this before but never really understood it. Take this: ``` int bar(int arg); // May throw int foo(int arg) { int b = bar(arg); return b * 5; } ``` VS: ``` Error bar(in…

If only this was how it worked :( From my experience a substantial fraction of programmers learn the absolute minimum to get a job. Then they either learn on the job or ask the sam…

From my granted limited understanding Adam is basically gradient decent combined with heuristic search.

Why do you think that?

Am I? I think not. You are saying that you would rather live a shorter time in good health than a longer time being unhealthy at the end. I am saying that the day will come when yo…

You say that now. I bet you are going to be dancing by a different tune at 70.

Money has not been backed by resources since the 1970s.

Hard does not matter. If it takes the new life 100k years to go from agricultural to the industrial revolution rather than the 10k years it took us they will still get there. What …

Having excess energy is great! We can use it for alot of useful stuff. For example to: - Recycle waste products. Most (not all) things are recyclable you just need the energy. - Gr…

Your point being?

You can still use water and wind which are also powered by the sun.

> Maybe nuclear will make a comeback once the now installed wind/solar plants reach end of life and need replacement, but before that it is just too slow and uncertain to be effect…
