The AGPL is also insufficient to protect your business from cloud providers (although it does grant more protection than the others.)

That is true, but not the point making. I'm talking about goroutines versus async/await. Both have an async runtime under the hood, but goroutines feel just like normal programming.

I'm not certain you're wrong, but not for those reasons. There are still threads for all the long tail of synchronous operations. It's easy enough to do from Tokio or other async frameworks. However, the go approach of making

Yes, to clarify this is for the land border.

They did the same for Canadians even. Our border is open to vaccinated Americans. They've chosen to keep theirs closed, even although we're at much higher risk from them then they are from us. Political stuff I guess. In lieu of d

Vaccines reduce both incidence and severity of infection. There's plenty of data on that now, with the delta variant.

The unvaccinated are not solely responsible for spread of the virus, but they are largely responsible. I don't think that helps your argument. > And many with serious immunity issues, or for example, know brain aneurysms who cannot

What argument are you making then? So I can tell you that you're wrong, despite all of the sources listed. Vaccines make sense if you're informed.

by eloff 5y ago
Vaccines, masks, and restrictions did all work to "flatten the curve". Your assertion that they did not is a very minority opinion and the onus is on you to back that up with data. It should be fully intuitive that anything that r

Lots of services are advertised that way. It's probably half the ads I encounter on YouTube.

It's not a safe action. But it's also not safe to do nothing. I think the driver made the right call (and with the benefit of hindsight it was in this case.) Doing nothing would have resulted in a high speed accident with certaint

Probably just has to do with not being worth the hassle to comply with European regulations. If you only have a little European traffic, it's easier/cheaper just to block the EU.

These are reasonable points, but there's no hard numbers showing why Waymo cannot scale and why it can never be profitable. In my opinion, despite the cost of the self driving hardware, which is much more than just Lidars, it can still

So you suggest doing nothing? Letting the car continue until it leaves the road at the first corner? Potentially causing a head on if there is no dividing barrier? Tesla driver did the right thing, and is a hero in my books.

It's worse than that. The US taught the Afgan military how to fight the US way with US air support. Then they not only withdraw that support, but also all support for the Afgan air force, including contractors. The Afgan's were tr

Well, yeah, it's safer, there's no question about it. Is it sufficiently much safer to warrant the massive investment and the bugs (including security bugs) which will result from a rewrite? If I was the project manager I would no

Its not AGI. It's machine learning. It's unknown if it's possible to ever achieve AGI by using machine learning techniques.

I agree with this for the most part. But just because you use Rust doesn't mean you have no security issues - there are still plenty of ways to go wrong, including integer overflow if you're using "as" conversions instea

by eloff 5y ago
Those guarantees are checked by the programmer, not the compiler. Mistakes and bugs can happen, just like in C.

It is better, definitely safer. But it's not perfect. I write rust on a daily basis. I've written a lot of C++ in the past. It's safer, but I have memory safety issues in both. It's more a matter of degree. For a large e

Presumably people would want to rewrite sqlite into Rust. But it's still a database, a low level, high performance software system. Even if you write it in rust, some percentage of the code will be unsafe rust or rust that calls a libr

This idea in physics that information is conserved, neither created nor destroyed, just transformed seems awfully similar to a computer to me. A classical computer is not the right metaphor really when you think of the universe as a possibl
