Amazing how their is a currency who's been rising for 10 years that you actually have to 'solve' for how to spend it.

Can you provide more information about him? The mental image I got purely from reading the blog/paper is quite intriguing...

This may not be what you are referring too BUT I can say as a .Net developer it's amazing how little .Net devs know about how the low level dev related stuff works because visual studio holds there hand. I have blown people's mind

this statement is true but meaningless... Majority of pandemics in history are a result of this rare in absolute terms occurrence. In general diseases that are already highly evolved for their host, mostly innocuous... everyone gets the com

1) the 'nothing to be afraid of' statement is just PR, and nothing else, so not going to dig into that. 2) government has and will always use whatever tools exist, trust Pegasus is 1 out of many... 3) from a realistic standpoint i

Not exactly sure what the point is, I do think NCAA was a bad org, but seems that this just effectively creates a new basketball league that kinda 'happens' to be associated with secondary education.

Well, seems unlikely but if so will readily become consensus. To clarify, not weighing in on the unlikeliness of lab leak, only on the unlikeliness that it is a clearly identifiable uncategorically man made Chimera with obviously manipulate

I don't understand this statement? No human we are aware of in the history of the world has lived to 130. That's a pretty scientific known limit.

'Professional Engineer' is a specific legal qualification. Further this isn't a case of lay people using a term incorrectly, this is a case of a professional engineer leading a movement to change professional engineering, usi

I think it's a result of MicroSoft shifting to the mindset that performance is a feature. I have been a .Net developer for about 15 years and remember when it was a violation of terms of service to publish .Net performance measurements

C# lacks and ecosystem... I understand that. But C# lacks an ecosystem compared to Rust? I don't understand that.

Visual Studio is as objectively as possible not a bad IDE. If you have unlimited budget and are only doing C# and DotNet, only benefit of VS Code is start up performance. Of course for just about anything else VS Code is as good as Visual S

Interesting, I always felt C# was a step ahead of Java, while the JVM was some steps ahead of the CLR.

Can you explain why you would code java this way instead of dropping down to C?

I mean a lot of this seems to be human creativity... Wasn't so much they were able to record cleanly or clean up the vocals afterwards as applying effects that really distorted his voice but in an enjoyable way.

Not sure about this take. Every language doesn't have to have every feature of every other language. Simplicity is in itself a feature. C# at this point is already probably 'larger' as far as feature set goes other mainstream

I agree with the concept that you argue for, but don't see Ethiopia in particular being the clear cut case you indicate it is. I think there a definitely places in Africa doing better than it but also plenty of places doing worse. What

logistics is the crux of a software 'system'. Software systems are pretty much the logistics of how to get a couple lines of business logic to happen. Logistics is the bulk of a software system, software development, and a softwar

I think he is making the distinction between 3 different categories that readers are in general lumping into the 'interpreter': 1) Python is executed by an interpreter (necessary overhead) 2) Python as a language is so dynamic&#x2

it will be absolutely great for the economy, rocket fuel, for about 5 years. Eventually will lead to some insane fundamental that will require a bail out.

PREACH But just so you are aware you can use the 'class' modifier To change this behavior. It is one of the most fundamentally bizarre language design choices I have seen in my career

I am quite serious when I ask for more specifics on the types of integration primatives you are talking about? My experience has been the opposite here are some examples: Number of times I had to implement or maintain hand rolled queues in

This was the predominant architectural design about 20 years ago. There are many strong points for this the general challenges are... Databases don't/didn't have too much in the way of integration primitives... Databases can

Your points are not 'wrong' but I think you are being overly broad in the conclusion you are drawing. Imperative programming is the dominant programming model that 99.99% of all real world code for the last 60 years has been progr

It's not so much that the article is false as it is that its using a very broad interpretation of terminology. In essence all of'supply' and 'demand' would fall into this risk premium bucket by this interpretation.
