There should be some way to define the CLI argument format and its constraints in some sort of DSL that can be compiled into the target language before the final compilation of the application. This way, it can be language agnostic (though

Apparently not. The author cites the example of json parsing for APIs. You usually don't split it into a generic parsing into native data types and then validate the result in memory (unless you're on a dynamically typed language

What additional requirements do selfies have, other than the photographer/camera operator being in the shot? Group selfies aren't a thing?

You're right on both counts. My reply is supplemental to your comment and not its correction. I was just adding information about some pesky corner cases for anyone who's interested in it.

Multicellular life seems to have appeared independently from unicellular life several times in the past, including 6 instances of complex multicellular life from eukaryotic cells, that led to animals and land plants. It may also have happen

Just curious. Isn't that how development tools generally work? Would you be surprised if it was in and for a compiled language? (This isn't a dismissal. I'm curious about the aspect of this specific case that amuses you.)

Yep. There was always the risk that this essay was going to be pointless.

There are places around the world where shopping carts were introduced successfully without the accompanying actors to convince the customers to use it. The actual criteria must be whether the new addition boosts or hampers the customers&#x

I don't think that this is an effective strategy to achieve that. At some point, the same customer base is going to feel the AI fatigue and yearn for something cleaner.

The environmental damage is even worse than the investment. Those who have the money to invest in it usually care only about the returns and not the environment.

To be fair, I don't see any sort of technical arguments on either side to justify their claims. You need some clue about its internal design and its current state to make an educated guess about the expected development time. Without t

Which compose? Podman-compose [1] wasn't fully up to date with the latest compose-spec [2] the last time I checked it. However, the docker-compose v2 [3] (the one in Go, not Python [4]) is compatible with the Podman engine [5] and work

by goku12 1y ago
That surprises me too. Podman is spearheaded by Redhat and Fedora/RHEL was one of the earliest distros to adopt it and phase out docker. Why wouldn't they have the selinux config figured out?

It'll probably end up showing how difficult and resource-consuming it is to build a browser from scratch. However, the solution for that problem isn't on the implementation side at all. It's the uncontrolled (and possibly int
