They used to give users much more control—the product has been deliberately crippled for a long time now.

Blind? I assumed that the monopoly on iphone app distribution (and the corresponding growth in fee revenue) was why the stock has been so high recently.

I disagree—println! is far more common for every day printf debugging than the log crate is. Do i have any evidence of this? No, but it takes less to type and is harder to mess up with log levels while working just as effectively.

It's not clear that "culture of outrage" is even a thing to begin with when, again, the alternative is to not place value on how society works to begin with. I mean, you could be entirely satisfied with how society works, but

Nobody is forcing you to call it anything—you could just as easily call it "marketing" or "news". Anyway, "fact" is a convenient fantasy in most cases when you actually mean "strong belief grounded in sour

I'm sure that's how literally everyone wants you to view their propaganda.

It seems a lot more crazy to not care how society works, personally.

I personally find the semantics of javascript a lot harder to internalize than rust due to its scoping and very unintuitive object system. I can't imagine this is any more difficult than that.

Huh, typically print is the debug message function vs explicitly writing to stdout

How do you fix the keybindings on linux short of changing hundreds of separate software packages? Spoiler, I've and you can't. Why are there about eighteen million packages implementing each component on linux, each subtly broken

Perhaps, but none of that commit history is related to the invocation to git clone. To acquire and verify you need both a url and a hash for each branch head you want to verify

I hardly expect folks on HN to have normal opinions about the usability of linux, but duly noted.

Being able to feel the resistance of the road is valuable, especially in inclement weather. Much more so than with, say, an airplane.

Well there's no great mystery, jared diamond doesn't engage in anything resembling academic historiography, but still tries to sell a great narrative of history.

Yea, that seemed like a massive mistake even at the time. The interface binding code together doesn't strike me as work worthy of protection.

> Piracy was traditionally seen as something that predominantly young males were interested in. Really? Even 20 years ago limewire was wildly popular regardless of gender. It never occurred to me to gender the practice as male.

> Git doesn't even keep history of changes, just snapshots before and after the changes. This seems like splitting hairs given you can trivially derive one from the other.

Most compilers are not based on C++. C++ compilers (namely, GCC, LLVM, and Visual Studio) are based in C++. Anyway, no point in cargo culting the use any further.

API protected by copyright? Sounds like a judge somewhere dun goofed, that just makes no sense on the face of it. The specific IMPLEMENTATION of an API maybe, but not the API itself.

> Most brains I meet don't seem to know more about the world than a 7B LLM I think this is pretty trivially untrue, it's just a very different sort of knowledge.

by DinaCoder99 3y ago
You'd still have to describe to an LLM what to do, which strikes me as about equivalent complexity to simply writing the code in the first place (which is, after all, a formal description of how a program should behave, even if we perc

Are the majority of applications even developed by "companies"? I'm honestly not sure at all, or even how to go about measuring that. By the numbers, most games on steam are developed by individuals or small teams, even if th

The C++ requirement seems to place this dead in the water. In 2024 there is no shortage of better runtimes.
