As hated as flash was, there was a whole creative ecosystem of really unique games / art pieces that died off with it. A shame.

I was also thinking about this, but I'm wondering if it's irresponsible. Thoughts?

Weston Price touched on this a bit in "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration". He did find increased "antisocial" behavior as traditional diets were abandoned in favor of modern diets. Fantastic book. Highly recommended.

Maybe a little orthogonal -- I could easily imagine IDEs still doing something like transforming the input ": FooType" into "fooType: FooType" w/ the name selected and ready to be tabbed past.

You put me through a real emotional roller coastal :-) "Oh cool, I always love some OCaml appreciation!" Click thru. "Oh no! More Go bitching?!" But then ended happily, as actually article was interesting.

You still need an at least mildly tolerant political environment, or else they'll just make censorship-resistant software illegal. I hope to be wrong, but I think the current trend in the US is that direction.

Should they have that right though? YouTube is owned by a Google, a massive, publicly-traded corporation with near-monopoly power. Are the best interests of society served by allowing it to be governed in an authoritarian, totalitarian fash

It's mind-boggling. A company with Google's resources should be able to come up with unique designs. They should be making top-tier competitors, not shit that looks like a generic brand knock-off.

Yes, the unadjusted number you get will be a lower-bound. You could then try to get closer to the real number by noticing, e.g., how much car crashes were reduced and adjusting for that.

I am excited about the current rewrite though since (if it lives up to the hype) it'll bring performance good enough to use Pijul for non-tiny projects. Not sure if Pijul will be the software to do it, but someday we'll all be usi

Death attribution can vary; I think deaths themselves -- as in, how many people have died, from any cause -- should be fairly reliable and comparable. So for the clearest, most unbiased picture of COVID impact, calculate % increase over n

I'm not like on my knees begging for forgiveness, but I feel regret that an unfortunate thing happened. To me it's a similar situation to if I, say, accidentally spilled your drink; something of that nature. (I guess different peo

I am in complete disagreement with this sentiment! If you're using my code and hit a bug, I am, genuinely, sorry. The goal state is craft software that works properly. That is not an unreasonable goal! Of course, mistakes will happen,

Thanks for the thoughtful response! My own experience w/ Rust is limited to just kicking the tires implementing my favorite toy problem, but it was incredibly positive -- my solution ended up faster than my previous best (in C++) while

Weird question for you: how much of ripgrep's awesomeness is you/product focus vs. the power of rust? To put it another way, do you think you could've written ripgrep in another language? In C? In C++? In Go?

Ha, yeah, you've captured it nicely. I have a TODO list 25 items long of problems to try to track down; occasionally I'll pick one off, but I think the list is growing faster than it's shrinking. It's an open question, b

I spend most my time in emacs; my experience is it's pretty buggy. Probably mostly packages & their interactions than emacs per se, but for me emacs is all about the customizability & the packages...

(it’s actually also straightforward to write a recursive descent parser directly on the char stream w/o a lexing step.)

I'm a Go fan and I've used it tons; I'm Rust-curious, but I've only made toy programs w/ it. While there is a germ of truth to this -- C++ and Rust are both complex -- I think it carries w/ it a lot of connotat

People are quick to dismiss this, but I think it's a fish-in-water kind of thing, where they are so used to the normal git flow, they can't see any way that it might be non-ideal. I am excited about the promise of patch-based VCs.

Yeah, this will not be effective. Legal remedies would be.

You should apply your best judgement given all data available. Take neither common-sense nor study results as gospel.

Yes, it's absolutely essential in these uncertain times that we do not allow ourselves to be led astray by our own best judgement or common sense, but instead rely upon the expert guidance of organizations such as the WHO. https:&#x2F
