Right. Squarespace is a hosting provider and website builder that anyone should be able to use to build a website, typically a smaller scale website like a blog or a small to medium online store / e-commerce site. It's similar to

This would seem to be a private problem. If people choose to park their money with a non-transparent, unaudited random crypto startup, that's their decision and their problem. I'm not interested in paying for "regulators&quot

Good work on Redis. Ruby, however, strikes me as pretty fragile. They can't get it running on Windows, officially, and the third-party Windows installer is hit or miss. Ruby also seems to depend on a specific compiler , gcc. I wouldn&

For a time Intel had PCs on a stick – it was like a large flash thumb drive, with a Celeron or something. (Maybe they still offer these.) Are there any thumb drive ARM computers? (Preferably with 64-bit ARMv8 processors to match emerging se

Nice. This reminds me of some old patents I like for optical keyboards, e.g. https://patents.google.com/patent/US4379968A Though real optical would require optical equipment in the desktop's or laptop's chass

Any data on HTTP/3 performance? I don't see it in the book. There's the general claim that it's faster/lower latency, but there are no numbers behind that claim -- last time I checked QUIC's performance benefit

Me too. The diabetes angle is interesting – I hadn't thought of that.

Oh, I'm not a Trump voter if that's what you meant. I have plenty of issues with Trump, especially his Twitter behavior. I like some of the bills he's signed, and what he might achieve in opening foreign markets to American e

It's something that has been researched, but not deployed. It would implement GC memory tagging in the CPU or even the memory controller. Google Scholar should produce some good hits.

This was the research that led to WSL.

Nice. Does Visual Studio support the level or version of OpenMP used in this code? (see the pragma)

My experience is different. As a social scientist, I've never seen hatred like leftist hatred. I'm exposed to the academic left, which is seething with hatred and intolerance. As far as the mainstream, non-academic left, boy they

You really only see this coming from the right / Fox News?

Whenever we see an apparent monopoly or a confusingly high profit margin, we should immediately look for barriers to entry. Situations like this are usually explained by the existence of a racket with government-enforced barriers to entry.

I have several somewhat orthogonal thoughts on this: 1. This is exactly what I've feared and suspected about JPEG-XR, webp, and JPEG-2000 (which Safari ever so quietly supports). I especially wondered about JPEG-XR after reading how Mi

It doesn't matter. It will look the same.

I see your point on beginners and formally verified systems code. However, I'm imagining a somewhat different universe. Formally verified systems code is a nightmare right now. It's almost impossible, and hardly anyone does it for

I think it's actually much easier now to get people on a new OS then it was a decade ago, or in the 90s, or the 80s. The web is so centric that a new OS with a great browser has won half the battle (I could write five pages on how mass

So I'm coming at this from a social science perspective. Why did I say "not Rust"? I'm working on a research program to get at what happens when people engage with programming for the first time, aspects of language desi

Good point. I forgot to mention that. I don't know if they're going for Instant Computing though. Are they?

Yes, I like them a lot. A formally verified OS should be the standard these days (and formally verified compilers). But for that to be so, we'll need new programming languages (not Rust) and toolchains I guess.

This is interesting, and to some extent, expected. I'd expect that emulating one OS on top of another is going to have performance challenges and constraints in general. But the deep dive into aspects of Windows and Linux I/O remi

Thanks, that helps. By the way, why are they time stamped at the beginning, or at all?

Forgive my ignorance. I'm more of a social scientist than a programmer. Questions: 1. Why not go for 16-character strings (instead of 26 or 36), with each character representing 8 bits? Sure, you'd need 256 possible characters, bu

Crockford also excludes the letter U, because of potential profanity, which I find incredibly odd. He's afraid of a rare FU embedded somewhere in an ID? Why would we care about that?

No, I just uninstalled the FB and Messenger apps from my phone when I read that the app was getting phone call data. And because they've been censoring non-leftist voices. I only use FB on browsers on desktop until I finally migrate to

How would it work otherwise? How would we automate consent from the relevant webmaster, website owner, etc? It seems like we wouldn't be able to successful communicate with the principal in many or most cases. I've thought of some
