I don't understand why anyone would want to publish anything, but perhaps that's because I don't need a "reputation". I also don't understand why anyone would ever want to get a PhD, which is just a manner of e

links2 is still a work horse in 2025 for occasional debugging.

FOMO is the only reason people attend conferences, which is why I visited a few to figure out whether I was missing out on anything. Speaking at a conference? Same story. You do it, because it's for "personal development", un

You can solve the versioning problem on your GitHub page by using Nix.

Delimited continuations as a programming construct were somewhat of interest when I learned about them, but not even my university discussed them. I don't think I ever had a colleague that even ever heard of the concept, let alone appl

That's still not professional, but then again 99.9% of companies aren't.

Regarding 2., I am not stupid; I might be ignorant in some fields, but do you see me arguing against a world expert in some field I know nothing about? Stupid people ruin everything.

What makes you think I need ChatGPT, since I just wondered whether ChatGPT was as stupid, since obviously I do know why that would be useful?

By definition, it the client Alice gives contractor Mallory access to user account alice, that's worse than giving them an account called mallory. Accounts are basically free. Not having accounts; that's expensive.

The only goal of such ridiculous standards is to act as a form of vendor lock-in for vendors implementing those standards; the vendors get to say to governments that it is a standard and the sellers of the standards also get some money. Any

This doesn't make sense. You said you were already using someone else's environment. You can't later say that you don't. Whether or not shell access makes sense depends on what you are doing, but a well written applicati

Either it wasn't a design goal or they are stupid. Why don't you tell us? The right way this would work is via a systemd service and then it should be instant.

Now, add inotify and a systemd user service and you would be getting somewhere. Also packaged versions of that exist already. So, you created a square wheel, instead of a NASA wheel.

Someone else's environment? That should never happen. You should get your own user account and that's it.

Instead of trash, reimplementing rm (to only really delete after some time or depending on resource usage or to shred of you are paranoid if the goal is to really delete something) or using zfs makes much more sense.

Is anyone sueing Reddit for banning accounts and not allowing user comments to be changed? Please start a class action suit and ping me when it gets somewhere.

All it means is that the cloud doesn't work like a power socket, which was the whole point of it. Things like Lambda do fit in this model, but they are too inefficient to model every workload. Amazon lacks vision.

It's sometimes not a hit, because CPUs have caches and memory bandwidth is the limiting factor.

I did understand; it's just that I am way ahead of you. Your point is that users are too stupid/lazy to comprehend specifications. That is, they won't bother to read that the specification of their formally verified secure ve

While I don't know your specific case, I have seen it happen often enough that there are only two possibilities left: 1. they are idiots 2. they do it on purpose and they think you are an idiot For me, it just means that the

Formal verification would solve everything. It's just that whoever is using the software actually needs to understand the specification, but when there is some trusted base of I/O primitives (like "read a file"), such th

When it allows installing any Linux with working drivers, I will consider it. Otherwise, you can go back to your garage and I will continue to make fun of people using Macs.

Emacs itself is probably secure and you can easily audit every extension, but if you update every extension blindly via a nicely composable emacs Nix configuration, you would indeed have a problem. I guess one could automate finding obvious

Millions of compilers have been written and those languages have simple grammars. As such, those are trivial problems.

I think that unless you work on a 100000-1000000 GPU research cluster, you don't know what's currently possible. I wish I could know the kinds of queries that could be answered when there are no economic constraints on existing in
