But "the piece here" is from the horse's mouth so if he wants to frame it like an ideological issue, maybe it is? He claims to have been pressured to tone down his articles to avoid offending people. Not much of a debate if a

Maybe I'm jaded, but it seems so much about the tech industry is just about getting around labour laws and making people work for orders of magnitudes less than their real worth (^). Uber, Lyft, AirBnb, Udemy, Stackoverflow, OnlyFans,

I don't think anyone actually does that. It just sounds stupid. Why the fuck would you spend your hard-earned vacation days on sleeping when you can do that at home?? Most people take their vacation in the summer because that's wh

True, I didn't think of that. However, the root cause here perhaps is fat binaries? My preferred development flow consists of many small self-contained dynamically linked libraries that executables link to. Then you only have to relink

What a coincidence. :) Just an hour ago I compared the performance of wild, mold, and (plain-old) ld on a C project I'm working on. 23 kloc and 172 files. Takes about 23.4 s of user time to compile with gcc+ld, 22.5 s with gcc+mold, an

Good stuff. Hope they succeed. LLVM support for jit:ed and gc:ed languages is pretty weak so a competitor that addresses those and other shortcomings would be welcome.

True. You could partition math with the question "Could a computer do that?" If the answer is yes, "that" is practical. If the answer is no, "that" is probably useless.

The big insight of the PageRank paper is that you can use MC integration to approximate PR, not PR itself. Hence making the problem much easier to distribute.

Yeah, there is a lot of misinformation being spread about wind power. Sweden's last wind power subsidies were scrapped over then years ago but producers are still investing heavily in wind power. The limiting factor is Sweden's an

Elon Musk has three citizenships, American, Canadian, and South African. Your assertion that he somehow would be more trustworthy because he is an American is ludicrous. Ever since the Code of Hammurabi justice has been based on the princip

Yes, I did read it properly, just like the above comment. You claim Chinese people as your enemy because your rulers told you so. That is very much jingoism and very much on the path to fascism. Sorry that you can't think for yourself.

Since corporations are not "citizens" the issue has nothing to do with citizenship. It makes sense that laws sometimes discriminate between citizens and non-citizens, just like they discriminate between adults and children. For ex

The point is that justice is blind, i.e., just. You can't have a law that says if your name is "bjourne" you get to do X, but if your name is "sensanaty" that is forbidden. So if the law privilege the oligarch livin

Read the sources carefully. It all boils down to "US officials says so". It's different from the Podesta hack as forensic evidence were published linking Russian hackers to the attack.

What makes you think I haven't googled it already? Yes, the US CISA agency claims it. But no evidence has been presented.

Yes, what is the point if the cites you have are all based on speculation and vague allegations by US officials? Do you actually have credible evidence that a group affiliated with the Chinese government hacked American ISPs? If not, don&#x

If so, good riddance. The good point of TikTok is that the videos appear genuine and wholesome. Not the hyper-optimized for monetization crap YouTube Shorts show you. I much prefer the videos with kids goofing around on icy streets over the
