WasmGC does not support interior pointers so Go cannot benefit from this, at least not without something ugly like fat pointers.

I am not sure how you could meaningfully compare Prolog and SQL. Both are declarative languages, but that's where the similarities end. SQL is for interacting with databases, whereas Prolog is, more or less, a language that you can wri

I am referring to her other book, The Joy of Abstraction.

Yeah, I think the mathematical exposition was pretty good, but I couldn't bring myself to finish the book because of the culture war she kept trying to shove in.

The existing Pentax lenses are just rebadged Tamron lenses. Tamron and Sigma make a full suite of mirrorless lenses. Of course, they could also use the L-mount.

Only type-I superconductors expel significant magnetic fields. Virtually everything you see on YouTube is a type-II superconductor. type-I superconductors require liquid helium. Also, only type-II superconductors can hover in a stable confi

If it's like the Apple Silicon dev kit, this is not true. Everybody got it, big and small.

Yes, that works. Also putting my phone in the fridge works too.

by 4ad 3y ago
Yeah, it works just fine in the fridge, I have tried it. It also works with an old charger than can only deliver 5W.

I live in Austria, in a building without AC, it's currently 33°C in my apartment and my iPhone 14 Pro refuses to charge to more than 80% due to an overheating warning.

In the third world, far more people drink diet soda than eat bacon. In the first world, I wouldn't be so sure.

Nitrates in bacon are essential for making bacon. Aspartame is not essential for making coke.

International SMS delivery is unreliable. Unreliable is not strong enough word. It more often doesn't work that it does. Or it works with enough of a delay to cause a timeout on the site where you want to login. Plus, you know, SMS hij

I hate Veritasium's clickbait, and I think most of his videos are very poor, but this one is the exception. It's very well put together. The first ten minutes of the video is exactly how I introduce entropy to people. Of course

What work is being presented here, it's just an opinion piece. Analyzing an opinion piece through the lens of previously expressed opinion pieces is anything but an ad hominem attack. It's the only possible way to understand an op

It's hard to take The New Yorker seriously in any capacity. I find it's just long, pointless essays that don't communicate any new information or original thought, but are designed to make someone who already has the same opi

It seems so obvious to me that consciousness (whatever it is) is essentially software so poking at the brain is looking at the wrong layer of abstraction.

No, it is not true at all. Heat conduction velocity is independent of the temperature gradient. It would only affect a very shallow layer of the skin. The gas can heat to thousands of degrees but there isn't much energy in it. It would

I am not sure what an Apm agent is, but you don't need to inject anything in your code to use the Go execution tracer today. In general, it's exposed through HTTP (though it needs to be explicitely enabled by the programmer). This
