I guess that leaves the question as to why Kimmel did not say: 'We hit some new lows over the weekend when people of all political stripes were trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them&

There is a difference between 'lets try something out' and we will use the force of law to compel you to do something. A lot of people seem worried about over use of law enforcement but really its not a general problem with law en

Not sure why this argument doesn't also apply to operating systems. Maybe everyone should be writing all their programs to run on a custom micro-kernel. Surely we can't trust other programmers to write something as complicated as

What a lucky coincidence that the tool the researcher attacked because it allowed code execution was not sandboxed.

if the government is running a library it shouldn't be able to engage in view point discrimination. for example it shouldn't be able to remove all books by Democratic presidents while keeping books by Republican presidents or vice

the difference is in the 90s everyone was ignorant. beyond some small communities i don't think there were many people who had the knowledge to exploit a lot of the issues. but now the knowledge is very accessible and there a lot more

usually when interfacing with a library written in c the library will export functions for object destruction. it makes sense for that to be part of the interface instead of using the system allocator because it also gives the library freed

You can have an epoch and now you can measure times before the epoch. In terms of the range of values you can represent it transposes to just having the epoch further in the past and using an unsigned type. So signed/unsigned it should

it really depends on what you are doing. if you have a complex application then the automatic recovery might not be enough for a fault free user experience. i feel like live view is sold as some kind of magic where the developer does not ha

the way live-view is sold is some kind of alternative to writing javascript. if you have a very rich client side application then you can easily end up with a bunch of state which would be in the clients memory but now is in the servers mem

Very strange. I sent a test key and didn't get that response but when I sent my real key it did. How did it know the difference between the dummy key and the real key?

having two very different code paths for measuring the length of the DER buffer and writing the DER sounds very scary. i guess its fine with Rust but the idea would give me the heebee-jeebies for any other language unless they are using a s

The problem is its often not clear that the government is violating the constitution until after a court has ruled that they have violated it. People can have reasonable beliefs that what they are doing is constitutional and then a court ru

You are also assuming the tax incidence of corporation tax will fall mostly upon shareholders. For example if the incidence was 70% on workers and 30% on shareholders then this should not be a progressive form of taxation. I think most econ

i think its a tricky situation. there is an extreme libertarian argument that individual officers of the US government should be held personally liable for any violation of the constitution. however, this would make it potentially difficult

Concurrent maps are often easier to implement in GC languages because you can use the garbage collector for cleaning old values. Whereas without a GC you will need an alternative like RCU.

Part of the problem with BEAM is it doesn't have great ways of dealing with concurrency beyond gen_server (effectively a mutex) and ETS tables ( https://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/stdlib/ets ). So I think usu

by benmmurphy 1y ago
this can easily happen in a BEAM system. say you have some shared state you want to access. you create a gen_server to protect this shared state. a gen_server is basically a huge mutex. the gen_server is just a normal beam process that hand
