It wasn't out in the open. It was never announced or discussed ahead of time. It was just done because the company who purchased Bun wanted it done, and they only communicated it was happening once they started. I don't consider t

What is the counter claim? That he stole many different original genre defining styles and techniques from many different architects over a period of 70 years with not one well corroborated claim? The fact that no such claims exist is how I

The outrage was more how the rewrite was communicated and defended, which was objectively poor.

Elixir, the language, is still basically Erlang with some niceties. The main Ruby influences are the syntax, which I don't love but can't say I hate, macros, which Erlang doesn't have, and large web-frameworks like Phoenix. E

The scary part wasn't that problems exist. It's that they pose themselves as the people, company, and tools to solve them.

Wages is one thing. Our sitting president inacting vast amounts of tariffs and other asinine decisions is another thing and is the reason why no one has even less money these days. Ever since he took office, my available funds have dwindled

I have avoided flying on a 737 MAX and have even asked about it at gates when a plane was switched. Part of the problem though is that many, many, many routes were straight up removed during and after COVID and still haven't returned.

That's a bit of a silly comparison, in my opinion. FLW was an incredibly deep and original thinker. You can't say the same for today's "genius" entrepreneurs. FLW also experimented and created many new ways of desig

His architecture was generally very, very progressive for the time and pushed the bounds of construction and structural engineering. As someone else mentioned, he was designing houses that look newer than they actually are.

Why wouldn't I be serious? And everyone lives in and cares about California. Plus, a quick Wikipedia glance shows they have a fair share of controversies, including major fines due to poor COVID protocol adherence.

There used to be a really good video on YouTube that covered the code that was displayed on the screen. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed from YouTube.

Do you have any examples as to how Zig is more simple than Rust? For the most part, I find Rust to be somewhat boring once you get past the initial learning curve of the borrow checker. It's almost uneventful code and reminds me a lot

Steam has a 75% share of the PC gaming market. The mere existence of alternatives doesn't negate a monopoly. Whether it's a monopoly or not depends on whether Valve uses its market power in a pathological way.

Yikes. I can't stand the fad to remove physical buttons. While Kia does a decent job (all of these controls I mentioned are on the steering wheel), they have gotten bad about the center dash having touch buttons.
