An assumption is something that we can't know, yet assume is true for the sake of coming up with a theory. What we're assuming here is their intention . The implication (or as you said, "the links"), that talking about

Occam's razor is about minimizing the number of assumptions needed for a conclusion. In this case, "they believe it" is the same number of assumptions as "they get paid" - just one.

In order to have direct function calls, you need to load the plugin's code in your own memory. Which means you expose your own memory to the plugin. Any malicious/buggy plugin could wreak havoc on your program - even managed code

It's because we're no longer a burden. Many parents would gasp at this sentence, but the same parents would likely complain to anyone who'd listen about how negatively their children are affecting their lives.

I've had an idea for an automated verification for a while, but too busy to implement it. For every property of the system, implement a mock that simulates a system that works, and multiple variations with forseeable bugs (models are f

Make sure to take reporting negativity bias into account. People will speak up when they don't like something, while stay quiet when everything is fine. I, personally, enjoy Buf. It has solved many frustrations I've had with The W

Your comment is AI. My tarot reader gypsy woman flagged it with 95% confidence

Yeah, I'm not interested in decoding what you meant by your aphorism. Either say what you mean or don't.

It's possible in the future we will have Rick and Morty style AI in literally everything just because it's so easy to add it. Sentient Switchblade: "Hi Beth! You've gotten taller! Shall we resume stabbing?"

I explained in detail why value classes will not outdate this criticism. The syntax is not the point - the point is the very fact that they had to add new syntax means that they couldn't retrofit the semantics into the old syntax. Wh

My criticism was not "you can't do this" - my criticism was that Java requires an overengineered GC to compensate for its fundamental language flaws that make optimization all but impossible. Go's GC is nowhere near as c

I assume you're referring to value classes? The very fact that Project Valhalla had to create new opt-in syntax for value classes, in order to get what Go does by default on all its types, is the admission of defeat of a herculean ba

Yeah, they have to be in order to make up for the braindead decision of making every variable a pointer to heap allocated memory. Go wins not by technical ingenuity, but by simply not making fundamentally bad decisions in the first place.

What do you mean by "strict typing of its index"?

by bheadmaster 2mo ago
Language is more than just its syntax and features. The most important "features" of Go are fast compilation, orthogonality of features, and easy development. Their propositions may "look like everyone else" if you'

On ARM systems with LSE both weak and strong compile to the same CAS instruction anyway. On LL/SC, using strong means CPU will attempt to retry the same exchange on spurious failure, which increases likelihood that another thread will

VMs and containers are fairly isolated and reproducible. A separate user on your machine still depends on the programs installed locally.

For the first time in human history, military power doesn't require advantage in numbers. The rich will simply build an artificial army and use it to control everything. Kinda like Mr House from Fallout New Vegas.

Exactly. You've hit the nail on the head. And quite frankly, your AI slop garbage radar is not just an indicator of good taste — it's the essence of humanity that keeps you above it.
