Because many of them are still relatively young. There is nothing wrong with youth, but it can contribute to over-zealousness. Also, for many of them, Rust is the first systems language they've ever touched. And that fact alone excites

Just what the Federal Bureaucracy needs: $400M worth of armored Teslas. I can't wait to hear the spin on this one. Noses will be growing without bound. Can you imagine the uproar from Conservatives if a Democrat had bought $400M of EVs

Hey, I have a healthy respect for Ballmer (1600 SATs, advanced math degree from Harvard). I don’t hate MS at all. They made me a good living when I was getting started. They actually spread the wealth (for small and medium sized shops at le

To think, they have advocated over the years to keep adding to the specs to the point that they’ve become so complex that even Microsoft, the king of this rube goldberg type shit, threw in the towel and said eff it, we’ll just use Chromiu

Had a talk with a pretty dyed in the wool MAGA supporter about the birthright citizenship situation. I was like you can’t just knock down a constitutional amendment with an executive order, even if you do agree with it. He was incredulous.

When the rationale for cutting spending is that the debt is out of hand and that our deficits are unsustainable (read many HN comments over the last few weeks), it sort of flies in the face of all reason to turn around and increase the defi

So just casually glossing over the additional $2.5T in deficit spending? I almost had a stroke when I saw this plan. Are they kidding? All this noise to spend EVEN MORE?

Your complaint is more related to how the OS you're running on handles dynamic libraries, rather than anything inherent to dynamic libraries themselves. It is possible to version libraries and serve up the correct version(s) to differe

Right, I understand that. You can do the same on Windows too. My point was that most languages' runtimes don't do that, not that they can't do that.

The article states that /bin/ls is statically linked. That means that the parts it uses from libc have long-since been taken and merged directly into the ls binary. So this randomization has no effect. Even if ls were dynamically

Not related. The blog post is a mini-rant complaining about how other people are complaining about having to link "all of libc" on BSD when their standard libraries are not based on libc (libc is the interface to the kernel on BSD

Yeah, I didn't notice the site switch to English link; If I had seen it, I might have also seen the source, lol. Sorry about that. Terry Davis, the author of TempleOS, was fairly well known online. He had a lot of struggles psychologic

Prime example: we leased 3 Nissans in a row (dipping our toes in with an Altima and then 2 Rogues in a row), so 9 years worth, but prior to the last turn-in, they released a new Rogue that was smaller on the inside (but I believe may have b

Well, I'm certainly glad that you have figured out the answer to the universal question. I have spent many years pondering it myself, as I'm sure most of us have. I've even spent some time pondering it while not under the inf

Don’t want to go down the Musk rabbit hole, but wasn’t this a tactic started by Tesla? This idea that every product must produce a recurring revenue stream has permeated way too deep. Buying a luxury automobile should entail luxury features
