I completely agree. I remember all the years where the prevailing wisdom was "standard web byte-code isn't necessary/feasible/desirable/etc." It's nice to realize that such pronouncements aren't nec

Cool! If the dependency is optional I think this would be great and I'd love to see a PR for it. It could be configured at CMake time. I think I'd prefer to just make this part of shortsymbols/fullsymbols instead of making

Shameless plug: my project Bloaty ( https://github.com/google/bloaty ) is a size profiler that shows you both mapped size and file size out-of-the-box.

Nice. This doesn't seem to mention sharing data about your friends though? I wonder if that would have been mentioned separately to grant access to your friends data?

I'd also be really interested to see screenshots of what the users saw when they clicked "ok." I've been able to find a few screenshots online for other apps, but nothing that indicates what it would have looked like in

I think this is a bit of an oversimplification. The modern approach to RPC is very different than CORBA or even SOAP/XML. CORBA was designed around the idea of distributed objects. The core idea was that you have a reference to an ob

I don't think they are successors, just different. Protobuf is a sparse wire format, whereas FlatBuffers and Cap'n Proto use a fixed-layout wire format. There are plusses and minuses to both. I wrote a little bit about this her

I would be very interested to know how the accuracy changes if you remove symbols and strings from the analysis. Symbols and strings are free-form text that would seem to leave a lot more of a stylistic fingerprint. If you could get this l

Came here to say this. Artificial tension is the worst. There are so many genuine and real reasons for conflict to arise. I would add to your list that it's incredibly frustrating when the tension would be resolved immediately if tw

Hi there, those are my words you quoted above. I just wanted to emphasize that we would help open-source users out on this if we could. This isn't a case of "we didn't need it, so we never implemented it." The problem

I don't think the site is arguing for historical ratios or that changes of opinion are bad. It is arguing against orthodoxy: situations where certain ideas become so sacred that questioning them is no longer tolerated. If demographic

I was talking about theories specifically related to the IQ test. "Every demographic has a priori equal IQ" is a politically palatable theory that many people want to believe. People need to be as skeptical towards this as they

I'm sorry if you felt I was misreading your intentions. Your message did not mention that you were poor, or that you were asking if you specifically are welcome to comment. My answer to that would be: of course you are welcome to com

How does non-poor people commenting prevent poor people from commenting? The author of the original article is probably not currently poor, and yet she is writing about it. Do you see this as a problem too?

One major way that identity corrupts arguments is when people ignore or excuse the flaws and weaknesses their position. When you hold others to a different standard than you hold yourself and your allies, it destroys the trust that is essen

This whole thread I've been arguing that Alice Dreger isn't the point, the point is that a lot of people are willing to protest and tar the reputations of others based on flimsy (and in this case completely fabricated) pretenses.

I think the story here is that the protesting students clearly didn't understand even 1% of the backstory either. They didn't come to the protest with a deep and sophisticated understanding of Alice Dreger's positions and hi
