There's not really a second C# runtime. Java has several, some based on the Openjdk, but a few that are completely new like OpenJ9 and Graal. The closest C# has is mono. This sort of thing is bound to happen with that situation. Heck

To further explain. Rust doesn't provide a runtime/framework for async/await, you have to bring your own. Tokio is (I believe) the most popular async/await framework for rust.

by cogman10 12d ago
Exactly. My entire problem with H1-B is the coercive nature of it. That is the thing that is ultimately designed to suppress wages. There's a bunch of levers you could pull to stop it from being such a huge negative, faster paths to

by cogman10 12d ago
This isn't a MAGA thing. H1-B is a bad program. I have no problem with someone getting a green card, citizenship, TPS, etc in the US. I think there should be a lot faster routes for that. Let the software devs come in and become cit

by cogman10 12d ago
Oh that's a really good way to handle it that would actually follow the intent of the program. You can't find someone to do a job? Then you need to compete on wage with other companies to bring someone in. Or, you know, raise you

by cogman10 12d ago
Yeah, I'm generally pretty pro-immigration and I'm very anti-H1B. It's very abusive to the workers hired as H1-B and it's designed for wage suppression. You can stay an H1-B for years. If you lose your job, you'll

That only works for smaller and unestablished brands. There are diminishing returns to the economy of scale. Coca-cola, for example, isn't going to lower their prices in response to increased demand from their $4 billion marketing bud

The lack of privacy is due to a lack of regulation and funding of regulatory agencies. It happens precisely because the US is very adverse to adding new privacy laws or enforcing the ones on the books (you need to fund federal regulators i

I don't believe so. The issue is that x87 is 80bit floats which is awkward. As such, it still requires dedicated hardware. Intel has proposed and abandoned pushing a new x86 architecture [1] which tweaks x86 instructions to fit better

Lawmakers should have outlawed EULAs the moment they first showed up in software. The idea that someone could sell you a product which is completely broken until you sign away all your rights on a contract you don't get to see before

You only need an external server if you want to make it so the end user can access their device remotely. Otherwise, an app can very easily just scan the network for the device. Heck, the app itself could be the thing that sets up the dev

Not to mention the size difference as well. The JVM stack is 2^16 in size while x87 has 8. The java compiler can practically pretend like the stack is infinite in size while a compiler dealing with x87 has to contend with spillage in all b

LG sits at exactly the location where screenshots are possible. Eventually, a digital signal needs to be converted into pixels on a screen. Once that happens, it's trivial to also pipe those pixels into a screenshot. It's the rea

Pretty much the exact reason I stopped using Roku. I bought a streaming device to stream, but apparently roku decided selling devices wasn't lucrative enough so they started selling ads instead. I really wish there was a better way to

x87 is such a weird architecture. It was designed the same way you'd design a chip for a scientific calculator. Heck, It's almost a perfect fit for an HP RPN calculator. But for a compiler to target, it's just so painful.

I'm not sure of the current state of it, but a few years back specturm was selling access to a private network based on consumer routers. Tmobile could partner with them so that one of their customers could go through spectrum instead

They should flat out be banned for consumer electronics and goods. It's insane that something you purchase can force a post purchase EULA before it can do anything. Imagine buying a shirt but there's a 10 page EULA that says you a

Especially since I think there's a pretty easy to understand mechanism for a hot drink to cause cancer. Hot liquid damages the cells lining your esophagus which potentially damages the DNA of some cell leading to cancer. Pretty much e

In some ways I wish that sample size and delta were manditory parts of these sorts of headlines. Like "In a study of 900,000 people, those that drank their coffee were 5% more likely to develop esophageal cancer". At very least it

I agree, that'd be a great way to approach things. The problem is a lot of the regulators are instead looking at doing tax breaks for these data centers when they should be taxing them (and other businesses) for the externalities of t
