My objection has always been that advocates either can't or don't care to explain how such a thing would actually work from the perspective of a unionized engineer.

Yes, if the tech works but in a way that doesn't let the labs command premium prices for inference, then that also means a crash. But that's a fundamentals-based argument like Marcus's (despite being based in economics rather

Pangram confirms: https://www.pangram.com/history/9ccdf6ed-5016-4325-b1ac-b3b0... I find it amusing that even the AI skeptic articles are written with AI these days.

Marcus believes that the underlying technology doesn't work. If that's true, then of course the whole thing will crash as soon as everyone realizes this. This article is mostly making a different argument (though it contradicts it

This just sounds like land value tax but worse.

I consider it basically an accident of history that the first non-research languages to support ADTs were functional. (The first language to have them was actually CLU, which was imperative, but it was a research language.) There isn't

Non-cooperatively terminating a shared-memory thread is an inherently unsafe thing to do, and basically every runtime that has an API for it regards it as a design mistake. See, e.g., https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8&#x

The Bun rewrite is a long-term investment; the idea is that you initially compromise on idiomatic Rust for the sake of being able to keep shipping, but then the codebase becomes more idiomatically Rust-like over time. It will probably take

This post advocates rewriting incrementally instead of all at once. Just like Joel said back in 2000, and like everyone continues to always say to this day. Yet in practice, people don't actually do this; complete rewrites in Rust rema

What exactly do you mean by "goroutine termination"?

C++23 introduces std::expected, which is a simpler alternative to std::variant designed specifically for the result-or-error use case. You still don't get pattern matching, but Go-style tuples don't give you that either.

Those seem quite different to me? Any kind of endeavor reliant on paid labor needs a source of funding and has to shut down if it can't find any; that's different from a situation where a business could have been sustainable by it

This was caused by the company running out of money, not by investor pressure, and it resulted in the language becoming more open rather than less. So it doesn't seem like an example at all.

I'm confused, C and C++ do require unsafe primitives? I think I must be misunderstanding your comment somehow.

Has that ever happened to a programming language?

Can you explain this in more detail? I'm not really familiar with Mojo but I can't think of obvious ways in which Rust's semantics (as opposed to syntax) are more functional than C++'s.

Version differences in distributed systems (including Web apps) are a real pain! In many circumstances they're unavoidable, and we've developed various techniques to make them marginally easier, but if you can avoid the issue enti

Stored procedures have the wrong versioning model. If they were version-locked to the application code, instead of to the database schema, they'd be less of a pain and people might be more willing to use them.

Aren't there already lots of products that offer that, often more integrated with enterprises' existing systems than Keybase would be?

IIUC "FDIC insurance doesn't cascade into your customers' accounts" is not true in all cases, pass-through deposit insurance is a thing ( https://www.fdic.gov/financial-institution-employees-guide-d... ).

no-panic relies on a linker hack because that's what's possible to do in stable Rust today; there's no API for adding an additional compiler pass that prohibits you from calling certain functions. Constants are well-defined i
