Two reasons. 1. Dynamic memory allocation is error prone. Mixing it in with your control flow makes that hard to manage. Many of the strategies for keeping track of dynamic memory add significantly to the complexity of the program... You ne

I think it's just as likely that business who have gone all-in on AI are going to be the ones that get burned. When that hose-pipe of free compute gets turned off (as it surely must), then any business that relies on it is going to be

A car's "radiator" doesn't actually lose heat by radiation though. It conducts heat to the air rushing through it. That's absolutely nothing like a radiator in a vacuum.

Make is a great language, but very few people know it, or care about knowing it. The vast majority of makefiles are automatically written by garbage such as automake. They are exactly as you described - reams of repetitive nonsense. That&#x

Are the proper coreutils still available on Ubuntu? If not, I suspect that I might be moving on to a different distro. Messing with core stuff, just to make the licenses less free is really abhorrent.

Well, yes I do know when a C project only depends on my system libraries, because otherwise it won't compile. That's the point. Furthermore, for the purposes of this discussion, it really doesn't matter what code there is in

Sorry, but that word list isn't very helpful. Perhaps it's because I'm not embedded in your US context. Can you put them into sentences, or give some context? How are they interpreted differently by different people?

I don't buy many American products because whenever I've tried in the past, the quality, and customer service has been shoddy. Americans can't assemble things correctly, ship wrong or obviously defective products, fail to fil

Every time I look at a new project, my face falls when it's written in Rust. I simply don't trust a system that pulls in gigabytes of god-knows-what off the cloud, and compiles it on my box. It's a real barrier to entry, for

You are contributing to the stigma associated with ADHD medication, and you should feel bad about that.

I think of anything denominated in USD as a big risk right now. Trump is dead set on burning away the USD's privilege of being the world's reserve currency. If anything it seems like it's a deliberate policy to devalue the do

"AI" is a much more palatable story for decision-makers than "we over-hired, and now the economy is tanking". Stories like these are hard to square with studies that show zero or negative productivity improvements with A

The drive to rewrite existing, tried and tested code in the new trendy language is crazy. Hopefully problems like this will be a bit of a reality check for those cheerleading it.

I see it as insuring myself against electricity price rises. If it's a roughly neutral cost today, but saves me a lot if electricity prices double or triple, then that's a good deal.

Rewriting old known good code from scratch is going to create more CVEs. This rewrite project is about corporations escaping from GPL code. It's got nothing to do with security.

No. Unless you accept people who change their minds with open arms, you can never win. It's tough to forgive people who've been so shit, but it's literally the only way fascism will lose.

No it was just a lever to make the people they hate unhappy. There was a tiny group who cared about the philosophy of governance, but they were massively outnumbered by the wingnuts who thought we'd somehow be better off. But all that

Rust's user unfriendly build paradigm puts me off using a lot of these. Ripgrep is fine when I can install it from a package manager. But if I'm on some weird machine and need to build it then first I have to build rustc, and then
