Tor might enable you to do some bad things, but they don't promote it in their official statements.

Yes it does, but usually \n is committed in git, but on Windows it checks out as \r\n. So you are right that it technically does not depend on the system, but in practice there is a difference.

I hope it will also normalize newlines to `\n`. The current version of raw literals (@"...") just puts there whatever is in the file, so it in practice depends on if your program was compiled on Windows or Linux. Surely that shoul

So some advertising is ok, while the vast majority of online advertising today falls into the bad category? I think I could agree that advertising is acceptable if we'd have: * No personalisation * Full transparency (must be publicly a

I'd say Google has the best ballance of monopolistic, society rending and anti open. Also, it's globally inescapable - [in Europe] I don't care about Amazon, I don't use FB services, but I can't avoid using multiple

Which other place do you suggest for secrets? File access is even more common security bug, also may be accessed by subprocesses and even other processes. Cmdline argument don't propagate to childs, but are accessible. I don't kno

Antibiotic resistance is usually on plazmids which can be exchanged between different bacteria (often even between different bacterial species). So only one bacteria needs to find the right gene and it starts spreading. Viruses have really

Definitely, there is selection pressure for new strains so that it can reinfect people which have immunity from last year. The flu virus is really good in mutating because its genome is made 7 or 8 parts which can be exchanged between strai

But I think it's quite good for scripting. You can call any system command as easily as in bash while being able to use variables for not just strings. I'd never use it as interactive shell, of course :] Also... the script will th

yea, but batteries are still quite expensive (I mean on a grid scale) and the cost does not get better with scale. Storing H2 is much cheaper and will also probably scale sublinearly (simplified: you pay for the wall of the tank and the wal

The test is still cheaper than the car. So probably not a big issue

Not just dynamic types, but all the breaking changes they make in minor versions. Since the program is "compiled" on user's machine, not yours, you don't even control which version is it going to use. I mean, migrating f

But it's not only JS, I used it as an example because these people are doing websites, yet don't even want to learn JS. They also hate to write SQL and are stuck with ORMs...

I don't like how he makes it a choice between Python and C++/Rust. There is very many languages that are more similar to Python in convenience and yet run reasonably fast (and you can actually optimize some procedures when you nee

Oh yes, it's sooo common. I met many C# web developers who just refuse to even learn a bit of JS, "because it's soo bad language"

yea, but just reducing the emissions ASAP does not seem to a big priority for many states at the moment

Or just put a ton of solar plants into the US deserts. it's super cheap now, I doubt fusion will ever be cheaper than just collecting whatever sun sends to us. And for carbon removal you don't need a stable electricity source

"that would hurt the economy however" ...

Then both should be equally carbon-taxed when sold in EU/US, that would actually incentivize figuring out how to do these processes in low-carbon way (or, how to lie about the emissions)

It's easier to convince the public that the climate problem is being worked on with this Carbon Removal and Storage. If it turns out not to work that great, it's most likely somebody else's problem 5-10 years from now.

LaTeX specifically might be bug free, but it's so incomprehensible to a not very experienced user (like me) that it exactly matches the notion of "software where you need support". the only good thing is that you can often ge

It still has some rough edges, but I really like it since it seems to be only .NET GUI choice compatible with Linux. I'm bit sad that MS might suffocate the project with the Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) which does not work on Linux :&#

Understandable, but it's a matter of taste. For people who prefer a language with exception, it's good that there now exist a viable solution other than sticking to a language that might not fit their taste so well. It seems to me
