Aarch64. It was just a minor gcc bug.

Many reasons. The VM is minimal, has a precise mathematical spec and is tailored to be a base for a purely-functional OS. The details of the VM are usable in the higher layer. It's more like a Lisp-machine, than LLVM.

Reminds me about one time when I've spent a week debugging random, but quite consistent kernel crashes, which turned out to be a gcc miscompiling kernel driver code to decrement stack pointer before ceasing to use some values in that s

1. There's nothing to stop fractional reserve banking. Bitcoin is just a more convenient bearer instrument (more portable, divisible, verifiable than gold), so if you don't trust a bank, it would be easier to opt out. 2. Personall

"We're"? Oh. So I have one question - what's the deal with Pricing then? What's the line exactly between "take it for free" and "pay us some well deserved money for our hard work"? Anyway - from

I still haven't got to trying it. I'm a bit suspicious, because it look like a SaaS kind of thing, while I was looking just for an open source tool to write some code that will spit out bunch of `yaml` files to feed to `kubectl`.

I really like k8s itself and I think these yaml files are a great API layer, but the way people produce these files nowadays (templating systems and a lot of glue like helm) is a joke and in a real, even mildy complex environment becomes a

Money is simple. Credit is complicated. And if Bitcoin is going to succeed lending Bitcoin will be normal and lead to similar behavior as in the gold standard.

The author just described how bitcoin has property of money (being a speculative bet that a given asset will carry value in the future), and deduced that bitcoin is not money.

The solution is not regulate it. The solution is to stop pretending like social media have anything to do with reality.

It's like you shipped your shell, text editor, debugger and more with every program you made in Java. :D

Someone posted something in public space, and wonder how come people interact with it. :D If you have a PR tab open for people, or issues then why are you complaining that they are using it? Make your repos private and stop complaining.

OOP is used to name both the original (Smalltalk-like) OOP which was OK, and the modern OOP (Java-like) which is terrible. This is making it confusing for everyone. Critics of OOP (like myself) usually criticize the Java-OOP, while consider

Sure. SWE is not a first industry where you can get away with cutting corners or straight incompetence. And some people are going to write a code taking care of ownership by experience, skill, etc. and they don't need Rust. They might

by dpc_pw 7y ago
I'm sorry, but that is a naive misconception. "everything is owned by the GC" is a sign of not understanding concept of ownership, BTW. GC is not an actor in the system, so does not participate in the ownership. A Java finali

The official inflation numbers are useless. Cost of goods is flat, sure (after you include the hedonistic adjustment gimmick), but cost of other's people time has skyrocketed (daycare, teachers, doctors, waiter, plubmer etc.)

by dpc_pw 7y ago
Exactly. Ownership/lifetimes exist in almost every mainstream PL (anywhere where you can have any sort of references + mutability). It's just people pretend it doesn't, and hope everything is going to be fine. And when you br

Agreed. But ... can there be A Beautiful Deleveraging https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wI0bUuQJN3s ? I don't think so. It is all a dynamic system. I think there will be no inflation for a while, and when it appears it w

I agree that in principle the inequality is causing instability and , and as much as I detest socialism, I don't see a peaceful way out of where we are not involving the "tax the wealthy... a lot". Some comments: income taxes
