Austin is not even that good at "keeping law and order" (marginally better than say SF). It's really just "build more housing".

yes and the comment i originally responded to talks about Trump/DOGE in a broad sense, which is also more than just VOA. actually doge is unwinding quite a bit of FDR bullshit it turns out so my analogy is a nice mirror.

whataboutism. Both of those are bad.

I mean they're on thin ice. I have no love for the trump administration, but It's not clear where the constitution authorizes congress to fund VoA or any government propaganda arm, really. You could equally make the argument &qu

ah sorry you did indeed write signal and somehow my brain read it as "message". I'll stand by my ets comments though because it would be confusing to think of ets as not having to be wrapped in a process (for lifetimes if no

minor nitpicks: ETS is not a process that responds to messages, you have to wrap it in a process and do the messages part yourself. Process dictionary: i am pretty sure that's a process_info bif that directly queries the vm internal d

in ten years of BEAM ive written a deadlock once. and zero times in prod. id say its better to default to call instead of pushing people to use cast because it won't lock.

> ETS can be mentally modeled as a process that owns the table (even though the implementation is not) the API models it that way, so i'd say its a bit more than just a mental model.

not all races are bugs. here's an example that probably happens in many systems that people just don't notice: sometimes you don't care and, say, having database setup race against setup of another service that needs the da

yeah now that I think about this, I think the hull-kv will not scale to comprehension beyond ~simple computational tasks.

by dnautics 7mo ago
yeah afaik you cant easily intercept c++ at a meaningful IR in the same way as you can zig. Zig's AIR is almost perfect for this kind of thing.

well it was signed into law by obama, so there's that.

I mean, I'm the author of this? https://github.com/ityonemo/clr so yes, I understand that it's important. It doesn't need to be in the compiler though? I think it's likely the case that you also d

i think the plan is to make no distinction between error and warning, but have trivial errors still build. that said i wouldn't be surprised if they push that to the end because it seems like a great ultrafilter for keeping annoying p

zig really makes it unappealing to architecture astronaut, and rust pushes you towards it. id rather my colleagues write zig

don't know if it's still on the table, but Andrew has hinted that the unused variables error may in the future still produce an executable artefact but return an nonzero return code for the compiler. And truly fatal errors would

negative. For example bounds checking is turned on by default in Zig, which prevents classes of overflow safety errors.
480.
by dnautics 8mo ago
actually that's not true at all. Zig offers you some more safety than C. And it also affords you a compiler architecture and stdlib that is so well designed you could probably bolt on memory safety relatively easily as a 3rd party st
