For context, Erlang itself was originally created at the telecom company Ericsson — the name is short for " Er icsson Lang uage". But as concurrency and networking became bigger parts of software in general, the qualities that ma

XHTML was not backwards compatible and was harder to write for essentially no benefit to most people. "It's XML" was basically the entire list of selling points, and that was just not a compelling enough proposition — in fact

I don't see how it's like saying that. Do you think a single person can develop a PWA but a single person can't develop an Android app?

It is real. To my recollection, this isn't so much a matter of corporate control as it is following FDA guidelines to the letter.

Ehh, I don't think this would support the Internet Archive (hardly a corporate-engulfed dystopia), or even have supported the shitty Sailor Moon fansite I made in 1998.

The only reason he was even still there when he died is because he didn't have a map of the area and thus couldn't figure out how to cross the river to get back.

The dude basically chose to die of treatable cancer in his 50s because he just didn't like the idea of getting medical treatment. That's one of the most odd behaviors I've ever heard of.

Personally, I find the Rails version a bit more elegant because it is declarative, reusable and composable, while Django's approach is a more utilitarian "just write the dang query when you want it." But both are a great illu

This was very much a problem for WordPress back in its "glory days." I had to go in and optimize a lot of stuff to get our website's performance to be sub-5s. (I haven't worked with WordPress in years, so I can't co

As a sibling comment points out, "in" is effectively equivalent to "&T", and "inout" is effectively equivalent to "&mut T". Rust is missing purely "out" parameters, but that isn&#x27

Animal products are constantly stuck into foods that are not clearly animal-derived. Every vegan is familiar with the experience of having to read the ingredients list on foods to look for random animal products or ask waiters if (for exa

Those are not the natural forms of any animal's meat any more than they are the natural forms of vegetables. What you actually seem to be saying is "How dare vegetarians prepare their food in similar ways to how I do?" The id

Even just in terms of actual meaning, "vegan" implies more than "plant-based." There are products that are unquestionably plant-based, but many vegans don't consider them to be in line with vegan ethics. For example

by chc 4y ago
None of the examples in that article appear to use the term "plant-based" on their products, so it seems even those brands were respectful on the term. If anything, that seems like it makes the opposite case of "plant-based i

This is an idiosyncratic understanding of "rule of law." Laws in America routinely discriminate between small and large entities. For example, the FMLA only applies to companies with 50 or more employees.

No, everyone knew that this system existed for quite some time. The site's UI even surfaces it by hiding some filtered tweets behind a "view more" button. The conspiracy theory is that the feature was used specifically to sil

You seem to both be mad about government interference in 2020 and mad about people criticizing the Trump Administration. But the government in 2020 was the Trump Administration, so it seems like only one or the other can be a valid compla

The "Twitter Files" also generally fail to make that case for the site's previous ownership. For example, they attempted to show that there was censorship of Hunter Biden discussion, but nearly every example in the thread was

So one is a person expressing their opinion in an informal manner, and the other is a person expressing their opinion in an informal manner? That doesn't seem like much of a contrast.

If you're seeing ads and/or multiple popups on this page, I think your computer has some malware. There should be the standard Substack "Subscribe to this newsletter?" box that comes up and that's it.

What seems short-sighted about that to you? I'm not super familiar, but it seems like something you'd want if you're using const generics.

It's also worth noting that the "Rust way" often ends up being clearer and better structured, in hindsight. Rust forces you to think through questions of ownership and identity more than most languages, and a lot of "str

Data is shorter to write and gives you automatic structural equality. You really could do the same thing with a class, but if you want something exactly like Data, it's nice to have it built in.

This is how Ruby works — you don't directly access an object's instance variables outside of the object, you call getter methods (commonly created with attr_reader) or setter methods (commonly created with attr_writer, or attr_acc

by chc 4y ago
This is a pretty basic facet of Ruby. You do not need extensive experience to be familiar with Ruby's approach to getters and setters. This will be surprising to people whose expectations come from other languages, but I doubt it would

Yeah, I'm no crank, I'll let a lot of things fly. But a random piece of paper containing a printout of a Wikipedia page about a court ruling in the periphery of a photo is where I draw the line. It's called having standards.

Even after somebody told me it was there, I still had to look really damn hard to find it. I don't think your expectation that people reviewing the shoot noticed it is reasonable.

.is is Iceland. Why would Russia have anything to do with it? As far as I know, the reason some people don't want to host there is that ISNIC is known to revoke domains when a site violates the law.
