FWIW, "safe" doesn't appear anywhere on the Zig homepage. I've been trying out Zig for the past couple weeks, and while I love it so far, it gives anything but the feeling of safety. I would say there's guardrails

The investigation to justify the introduction of the Cut function was an interesting read. Really solid numbers on those data to show that the function, while redundant with other functionality provided, is an extremely common operation an

As much as I love Veritasium, I feel the OP video is better than his. Actually doing the experiment is really good, and it honestly feels like he was fishing for another debate like the faster than wind car by giving only a super theoretic

My opinion with 9+ years since first learning Go, multiple of those using it for a full time job: Putting the end first, my rule of thumb for using generics in Go is: Don't go down the OOP road of over planning and programming with fan

Plenty of people used bots on /r/place, but there were two mitigating factors: 1. You could only make a single pixel change once every (iirc) 5 minutes. 2. Only user accounts created before the (entirely unannounced) event could

Reddit's /r/place is perhaps an interesting counter example. It started that way, but as space on the image grew tight and contested, all of that kind of stuff went away. Towards the middle and end, the only significant ima

C suites tend to want to personalize messages by adding context to how they feel, but in cases of such severely negative news it's always going to come off badly. "Firing people hurts my feelings" is a moot point unless you&

It seems the title is implying that the people suing think Google had an obligation to not be evil because that was its motto. Reading the article, the lawsuit is about something more reasonable: They signed an employee code of conduct whi

INAL, but actually putting adversarial image attacks on real roads is already illegal. If you modify a street sign, and as a result someone dies, that's a fairly easy case of Involuntary manslaughter. At a minimum, you can't modi

Why not start now? Sure there's a lot to get done before landing, but rovers are really helpful once you have landed. Besides, SpaceX's lander certainly has enough room for a rover (mass budget less certain).

The context derived from WithContext is scoped to the lifetime of errgroup (after they all return, or any return with an error). This way the function passed to Group.Go can spawn other go routines that will get properly cleaned up. Why th

Civilizations around the world definitely acquired similar technology with suspicious timing, but the common factor doesn't need to be humans. One theory I'm fond of is river deltas. The major ones all formed around 7,000 years

When you use `go get` to retrieve a version of a dependency, it adds a line to a `go.sum` while with a hash of the code at the version specified. You can distribute your code without a copy of the dependency. When someone else runs go get

This is a good observation, but I don't think it absolves social media. There are likely many factors increasing polarization, and social media may amplify those factors and/or turn otherwise harmless factors into harmful ones. T

I agree that better technology shouldn't need continuous updates, but I do think there are two more likely drivers than planned obsolescence, differing from early technology. Firstly, security. Older devices weren't connected to
