This is only true from the point of capital - if a startup changes the world in a way you like it can be a success to you. Profitability brings a certain approval and sustainability, but don't confuse that with your goals in what you a

Then I guess I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are you saying that the problem is unsolvable and people should just accept that?

Sure, that judge is a problem, but I think your metaphor is a bit mal-formed. In your example you should probably drop the judge, but you should also make a rule saying astrology books aren't a legitimate source of sentence guidance. T

Like I said I am no low-level C guy, but my impression is that the existing structure is allowing you to break up the setup however you like across functions / calls / etc (just keep the context) instead of keeping many different

I have really enjoyed working with Lua when it's come up and I think it's an extremely good language. In particular, as Noë says, its interface for embedding into C/C++ is clean and flexible. There are performance concerns, b

I guess, to me, what about the popular counter-example: Trader Joes. A popular mid-cost supermarket that mostly stocks their own store brands. That behavior does not feel anti-competitive or deceptive. People know that Trader Joes sells mos

You aren't required to only listen to their music. You are free to make your own playlists with the artists you like. But Spotify publishes playlists with artists they would prefer you listen to, which is kinda annoying, but is hardly

Also, the most common scenario for this camera (and most pro-level production cameras) is that they are rented per-job. Eventually it would makes sense to buy one if you have enough work for that camera, but most people and productions star

I am not u/masklinn - but I don't know what you mean. Doesn't the runtime consume memory by setting it aside for future use? Like what else does "using" ram mean other than claiming it for a time?

Scans are not always of new locations. They have ~10m established nodes and they get ~1m node scans per week that might be new and might be old.

I do think the approach of "engaging only in what you can fully take in" is really healthy and sensible and something people should consider. The thing I think is immoral is suggesting that is...the best approach for everyone in a

It's true, of course, that the "chronological timeline" is an obvious and straightforward default, but I think you are being unfair to the position you are critiquing. Many (90%+ I would say but the exact proportion doesn

IMO Hot Code Updates are a tantalizing tool that can be useful at times but are extremely easy to foot-gun and have little support. I suspect that the reason why no one has built a nice, formal framework for organizing and fanning out hot c

You're mis-reading what he says. People create new stuff, AI (so far) remixes old stuff. Down the line you will be able to order a remix of succession and AI should be able to do that for you but it won't be able to add any intere
