As an emacs user, one of the things I really wish it had was robust support for arbitrary file sizes and shapes. (It'd be fine if not all features worked on these files.) Sure, most files are reasonably sized and shaped, but sometime

Every election. We can look to North Korea as an inspirational example of this innovative method of combatting fake news.

It's not like we're talking about some random story that appears out of the aether; it's a story from a cofounding journalist. Glen wanted this agreement between editors and journalists: editors will not censor the journalist

But Twitter has officially stated it was a mistake to block posting of the link to the Post's story. So why is the Post's account still locked? More generally, it does not appear Twitter is impartially enforcing standards against

So a newspaper claims to have a laptop from Biden's son, with plausible-seeming email and photos. If it were not from Biden's son, or the emails were fake or altered, then I would expect the Biden campaign to say so. Since they ha

you can even just do it with unicode 10⁻²¹ seconds (tho tbh it looks a bit janky -- but better than "10-21"!)

I've only played with Rust a little bit, but I think something that often goes under-remarked is that its ownership system doesn't just give you "static GC" -- it also guarantees no data races for multithreading. This is

Yes, I agree. Twitter is clearly acting politically here; a consistent application of these rules would prohibit linking to the Trump's leaked tax-returns, among many, many other things.

Go also has no warnings, and it seems to be working fine. (Though, some people do use linters to get back the warnings. But the language itself doesn't have any.) The main thing about having warnings isn't being silent in the face

That's fair. Imagine, for example, an extremely convincing book is authored that convinces anyone that reads it that the United States government should disolve itself and its citizens should pledge fealty to China. Quite credibly, t

It's strange how so many in the US have adopted the mindset that it's important, for national security, to deny its citizens access to foreign social networks. Previously, when China did the same, this was widely viewed as an unfo

As others mentioned, while git shows you diffs, internally it's actually snapshots of the entire repo, with each snapshot listing 0 (initial commit) 1 (normal commit) or more dependencies (merges). While it works decently, the big prob
