And in C++, those changes would likely shoot yourself in the foot without warning. The borrow checker isn't some new weird thing, it's a reification of the rules you need to follow to not end up with obnoxious hard to debug memory

There are likely lots of connections that could be made that no individual has made because no individual has all of existing human knowledge at their immediate disposal.

Quantum computing actually isn't super-Turing, it "just" computes some things faster. (Strictly speaking it's somewhere between a standard Turing machine and a nondeterministic Turing machine in speed, and the first can

FYI this is basically what Redis does (which does not support concurrent writes or reads afaik), and that still scales quite a lot.

Even VIM has support for LSP in extensions, I'm sure there's some lightweight LSP supporting editors out there.

I just got Phillips Hue bulbs and they can do this, it's great (you need a command center thing, but it works pretty seemlessly).

It's because the nature of typing has changed drastically over the last decade or so, in well known languages, going from C++/Java's `FancyObject *fancyObject = new FancyObject()` (which was definitely annoying to type, and

If it was super successful, would people even need to know what it is (like people don't know what BGP is)?

In practice I find it stupidly reliable, and use it to reconfigure/fix WireGuard issues remotely (I had to fix the MTU once on hotel Wi-Fi). It's also completely open source, unlike tailscale. And something's that cool is tha

Both tailscale (partially open source) and nebula (entirely open source, you have to host the "lighthouses" which assist in NAT punching yourself) do this. (Also tinc.) Yggdrasil is basically researching a replacement for BGP, so

Go is simple at the cost of increasing the complexity of stuff written in it.

I use golang for work and have done a fair amount of Rust programming. Rust feels like the higher level language. This really shouldn't be the case.

You could do something like that in Rust with a request-scooped arena. But then you'd have to do Rust. In node you could use worker threads (which create a new V8 instance in a separate OS thread) but that's probably too heavy han

When I quit work because of burnout some years ago, at some point I just started going to bed every night at like 9pm with no effort whatsoever, really. Completely broke when I started a job again and has been difficult ever after.

It's different because bad actors can take advantage of the now-public information. The point of a disclosure window is to allow a fix before _all_ bad actors get access to the vulnerability.

Namecoin has made utilities similar to this (in order to constrain all existing CAs from signing `.bit` domains) so I assume so.

You can not test for the absence of behavior. You can design type systems to ensure the absence of specific behaviors.

The performance problem with D-Bus is the increased number of context switches over Varlink, not serialization.

I have to write a lot of boilerplate at $DAYJOB (Go is like that). Copilot really helps decrease the amount of typing I have to do.

If that was possible, we wouldn't need Certificate Transparency (whose purpose is to at scale detect Certificate Authorities doing this and other shenanigans). Also "being able to catch them" is strictly better than "bas
