This is a silly distinction. You can always include pre-built object files in your "source code" formula, then the build step is just linking it into an executable locally. That would bypass the quarantine attribute and effectivel

That's true, but even those non-technical roles are in a totally different league of scope than jury duty. A jurist has an extremely narrow role: deciding whether the defendant is guilty. The jurist has zero input on the laws or court

A recent Stanford grad just told me "it's all just bots talking to bots", referring to students who use ChatGPT to do all their homework, and teachers who use ChatGPT to grade the work that was submitted by ChatGPT. And becau

The wishful cynic in me sometimes thinks this might actually lead to a partial reversal of ageism in the workforce. It's almost starting to look like the kids graduating from school with chatgpt are actually handicapped (painting in ex

This is true if you're only looking at the short term. In the long term, quality does matter.

Just look up "Java applet sandbox escape". There were tons of ways to do it. Here are some [0]. Then there's the coarse-grained permissions that were essentially useless to begin with. [0]: https://phrack.org/

I'm not too sure, but the main reason MS developed it was because they just wanted Java without licensing it from Oracle, so I imagine they made a lot of similar design decisions. Anyway, it's great if you compile it to Wasm.

It's not a question of Apple letting anyone do anything. It's just a question of governments forcing it to do so.

Fair. Running in the browser isn't novel, but JS/TS are some of the most popular languages in history and that almost certainly never would have happened without monopolizing the browser. Expanding margins are fine by me. Anticomp

There's a reason Java applets got deprecated in every browser. The runtime was inherently insecure. It just doesn't work for the web. Also, targeting the JVM forces you to accept garbage collection, class-based OO and lots of poin

I wouldn't say that we actually know how our brains work. Based mainly on my neuroscience minor from 10 years ago I'd say that understanding feels hopelessly far away.

Ya, the fact this was published on November 3, 2025 is pretty hilarious. This was last year's debate. I think the best avenue toward actually answering your questions starts with OpenWorm [1]. I helped out in a Connectomics research la

I don't think it's right to blame ordinary North Koreans for the state of their country like that. Clearly it has more to do with the paranoid authoritarianism of 1 guy, rather than the collective war trauma of the people. Just lo

Huh. I forgot about %s. I just search for a pattern and replace the first one manually. If there are fewer than ~5 occurrences, I'll just hit `n.` ~5 times and get them all. If there are more, I'll record a macro with `qqn.q`, the
