I think this is misleading -- geoengineering + social change will be necessary. You're not going to Scotty your way out of climate change.

They’re vanilla now because everyone copied their designs decades ago. They’re the original. Doesn’t mean they’re worth the cost, but now you know.

Someone once wrote that "Ruby is an acceptable Lisp." Is Go your first static language? It's not a particularly good one except for certain niches. You might try some others.

(You cannot actually fully solve priority inversion _and priority propagation_ on a fully async system. There are ultimately no tricks clever enough.)

This sounds like it wants to be a fundamental IPC facility in Linux, which seems like a major thing. Any binary format can be dumped to a text when viewed for debugging. That’s really a nonissue. Have the tools dump to JSON if you like.

Data format is absolutely important for operating system IPC. JSON is raw text. Messages occupy more RAM than a binary format, which increases your working set, and it requires at least some nontrivial parsing. This ultimately limits the nu

HyperCard existed. Big missed opportunity for Tcl was the lack of a solid version of Tk for classic Mac (30 years ago). Would have made early Python less essential.

Expensive, ugly vaporware with poor specs from Facebook makes you think Apple is behind in this space?

From distant memory: they were effective for at least some PowerPC implementations. I don't recall how much, but it was considered worthwhile in hot code for at least some machines. However, IIRC, branch prediction wasn't as advan

Helping to prop up the site's racist, neo-nazi owner doesn't bother you at all?

This is a problem for literally every website that isn't completely paywalled. Twitter is not special in this regard.

NeXTstep 3.3 supported Objective-C drivers in the kernel. Mac OS X's IOKit changed them to use a (poorly defined/maintained subset of) C++.

The thread you just posted has a bunch of posts indicating this was not the actually the same program in Python and Swift; further, the Swift version was written poorly. Plus, the graph in the final post shows whatever Swift version someone

They did not. IIRC, one of Brazil’s leading politicians posted his addresses when this went down, and BlueSky was at the top, and fedi was nowhere to be found. Could be that simple.

This is true in _a lot_ of the areas where these trucks will be driving.

Legislators really need to come up to speed on Tesla and crack down on this shit. There are going to be many collisions involving these trucks. Doesn't even have to be the fault of the driver or Tesla. That's simply life on the hi

Have you tried a phone with Face ID? I can't say that I've ever missed the home button.

Face ID works fine with face masks. Check that you have the feature enabled. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102452

iPhones with FaceID and AOD work fine. Your glance doesn't unlock it unless/until you want it to.

To be clear, the outcome we actually need here is a bulwark against the possibility of China eventually being the world's only producer of leading-edge chips.

Is there a reason to give Elon the benefit of the doubt for anything at this point?
