That's... like the whole point of the article. That mentality causes less reliable software.

I still haven't figured out the nix language, how to find which package installs a particular binary if it isn't the name of the package, or how to find config options for packages I do have. Those three problems are what's h

Very cool. I was super interested in Intel Vaunt and this is just an iterative improvement. I would buy a pair of these if they had a reasonably open API/firmware.

Is your assumption the converse of the article? That VC money is driving up FANG salaries?

I'm young and don't have kids (and plan not to). I think my wife and I would gladly trade a year or two of overworking to effectively be able to retire immediately thereafter (or at least, have financial independence and get to ch

Example: San Francisco. Immigration policies aren't just about 'keeping the bad ones out', it's also about 'hey, how many people can we realistically bring into this economy over a given timeframe'?

what does 'believing in the free market' entail? I think the free market is necessary, but flawed. What does that mean I should believe about borders?

Specifically preload or HSTS? Because HSTS gets you most of the protection you need while being able to recover if something goes horribly wrong. Set your HSTS timeout to greater than the gap between user visits and it does prevent acti

This just happened to me. I wonder if the contract is enforceable at this point. I didn't agree that I'd read or agreed to the terms, they only asked for my signature.

Yes. Being a VPN and a DNS server are both extremely light weight tasks that use (mostly) orthogonal resources (VPN = IO, DNS ~ fairly small IO and CPU).

Yes, there are few sigils and they were reluctant to add more (like ooollld Rust). However, Ive made my case as to which option I think was better and less ambiguous. We'll just have to disagree that this was inevitable.

That's true and I hadn't really thought of it being used for removing features! But, also, the features can only be removed from the language. The compiler must support them forever. :/

I'm aware. I just believe that the design decision around `future.await` was dumb. Preface: this is a minor syntactical annoyance that aesthetically and in principle annoys me a great deal, but in practice is unlikely to cause much con

Hadn't read the original essay, but Eevee is always a great blog. Honestly, Rust hits a lot of good points for me. My only concern so far has been `.await` and a minor concern that they'll keep adding junk and end up like Perl wit

Most of the people using discord love it's playfulness. Be mindful that it's ethos may not be for you. For every silly feature or targeting you've appreciated that has disappeared, there are comments like yours that are the

Most global bandwidth is from video streaming, so most of the data isn't in the first couple packets. So the number would probably be surprisingly large but also a very small fraction of overall traffic.

While software engineering is growing and evolving, there's also a lot of cyclical fads that we should look past. Sure, there is the framework du jour, but the fundamentals of computer science and software engineering grow far slower.

I agree with this. I think we need a guild. We need licensed software engineers. Not every programmer needs to be one, just like not every engineer needs to be licensed, but there needs to be a licensed engineer on every team. And, of cours

That's not true. It also has old, deprecated crypto. It still works, but it has problems, and not all installations support the same things. I am not well versed enough to regurgitate what other cryptographers here and elsewhere have s

On the one hand, cool! AR is something I'm really looking forward to! On the other, 'oh, yea my contacts exploded' isn't how I want to explain my blindness.

Drew: unrelated question having just read your software distribution post and noticing you use Alpine - have you tried NixOS? What does Alpine have (or lack that others have)?

I need to update my blog. I was using Advent of Code as a way to jump back into it, but life happens and I haven't been able to keep up with the problems and the write ups and life. I do love this list as an opportunity to find some ne

It sounds like you should add an abstraction layer that makes the default depending on the SHA. Your product should be secure by default and it clearly is not right now. Likely, you can still do this and migrate people fairly painlessly to

Probably lots in physics, aerospace, electrical engineering. And, again, coming up with derived theorems that are useful.
