Law enforcement is more like a toddler holding a glass of water over your CPU and saying "stop transistoring!"

The fix for corruption is vote the bums out of office. It is not to go whole hog into blind application of the law. Think about how hard it is to write code that has no bugs. Now imagine you're using English and working with a system w

Opera had an amazing built-in NNTP and email client. I think it was my first experience with views instead of folders, so my emails could appear in multiple "folders" (I think now we call them "smart folders"). Absolutel

I would guess there aren't as many because, in order to implement this, your language must already have an HTTP/3 library. My language of choice doesn't even support QUIC yet (so I'm writing the library for it, then for

The websocket RFC is designed around TCP, and "extending" WS to work over UDP would essentially be a new protocol. Which is what this is. You can think about this with HTTP/1 vs HTTP/3: HTTP/3 isn't an extensio

It's not NPM. It's JS culture. I've done a lot of time programming in TypeScript, and it never fails that in JS programmer circles they are constantly talking about updating all their packages, completely befuddled why I&#x27

Neither does a dependency you don't update, though, which is isomorphic to copied code you never update.

by KPGv2 11mo ago
If you use an LLM to generate a function, it will never be updated. So why not do the same thing with a dependency? Install it once and never update it (and therefore hacked and malicious versions can never arrive in your dependency tree).

> you do avoid worries like "will I have to update this dependency every week and deal with breaking changes? This is not a worry with NPM. You can just specify a specific version of a dependency in your package.json, and it'll

Your first sentence cheers that we're moving from NPM micropackages to LLM-generated code, and then you say this will result in people having to learn to code again. I don't see how the conclusion follows from this. There will be

Now here's where it gets interesting: there is no agreed-upon definition among experts what a word is. So there's no point in arguing about it if the thing we're arguing about doesn't even have a rigorous definition.

This is still the case in the US, too. I don't know why people are talking like it stopped happening. amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com All these things are still e-tail here, too. We didn't go back to B&M.

I think there's been a micro-boom in prestige periodicals. Until I kind of fell back out of love with tennis, I was a subscriber of Racquet, which is a really high quality print publication about tennis (and occasionally other racquet

Nota bene, this isn't the Farmer's Almanac everyone's thinking of. You're probably thinking of the Old Farmer's Almanac , which has been in publication since the 1700s and is the oldest continuously published perio

This is an overly simplistic view of what "free market" means in practice. The most obvious issue is that, in a free market economy, government protects private property, ensuring that any capitalistic definition of "free mar

This seems like a disingenuous link to me. It's not a research paper, it's weakly sourced (and many citations are to non-academic outlets such as Quillette. And the author is highly incestuous, linking to her own casual articles (

Spiders bite with their fangs, much like vampires bite with their fangs, they don't sting. I might call the tarantula "hair" that makes you itch a sting, but I would feel a bit silly calling it that.
