The aspect of "potentially secure/stable code" is very interesting to me. There's an enormous amount of code that aren't secure or stable already (I'd argue virtually all of the code in existence). This has alr

That's my point. Anything that could exist that's significantly "better" would be able to share more about its creation. And anything that could be significantly better would have to be capable of "understanding

I genuinely don't know how any of these companies can make extreme profit for this reason. If a company makes a significantly better model, shouldn't it be able to explain how it's better to any competitor? Google succeeded b

Should flour, yeast, water, and ovens be banned, and only commercial bakeries be allowed to make bread? I know guns are different. There are also an enormous amount of ways to cause harm. I personally think that, ideally, nobody should have

You're off on your timeline by about 200 years. Arguably even longer.

Just to be clear, I think the situation is disgusting, entirely unprofessional, and intentionally violent. Maybe the shooter didn't make those mistakes to have a reason for murder, but the idea that someone of his experience would make

For what it's worth, the ICE agent who shot Good, Jonathan Ross, worked for US Border Patrol for eight years and has been working for ICE for a decade. Further, "Ross testified in December that he was 'a firearms instructor,

I would not be surprised if you're right in your assertion of what's used more for new projects. I still don't think the evidence you provided is enough to be so certain. If I want to look up documentation for jQuery, I don&#

The trends of Google search doesn't imply anything by itself, just that less people search Google for jQuery than React. Which isn't entirely surprising in my view - people use search engines to learn about something they're

Burrito works very well in my experience. I've used it for distributing an implementation of breakout in Elixir with OpenGL and Metal rendering backends as a binary. Pretty neat!

For what it's worth, there does not exist a "standard internet browser," assuming that means an application that adheres to all relevant web standards. No piece of software exists (at least not publicly) that even adheres to

Is there any proof that any of the Venezuelan boats were drug dealers? Any proof in court, ideally?

I'm really surprised that there hasn't been more discussion of the (effective) nationalization of US Steel, so thank you for bringing it up. It's not only that he gets to pick board members, he gets final say on basically any

It's not only not unheard of, this just happened with US Steel in June. The president currently has essentially full control over the board and veto rights to just about any decision that the company makes, which effectively nationaliz

I don't understand how this would work. If the government created some entity to handle processing payments (or whatever), I assume it would be a publicly funded non-profit, since there is precedent for that. How much funding does it g

I believe you meant static typing. There's active ongoing work in this space, and Elixir is actually gradually typed now. You can read more about it in the docs: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/gradual-set-theoretic-type

Erlang does have a mechanism to modify process priority, with process_flag/2,3. As of OTP 28 there's also priority messaging that a process can opt in to. Not really related, but it's new and interesting to note.

Earlier in the definition it uses the more conservative phrase "no or rare culinary use," which I think is more accurate. The point is just to attempt to categorize foods by processing levels in a way the public can understand. I

I appreciate the sentiment, but even this is a good example of why this stuff is interesting. Because some strings _are_ optimized (using some definition of "optimized"), but only in some cases. It's these quirky little thing

I'm surprised by the reactions to this. It's made immediately clear in the notebook that this is a fun look at some interesting behaviors of Python. There's no implication that there are bugs - I have no idea where anyone got

I believe all the core contributors to Svelte and SvelteKit are employed by Vercel.

by harrisi 1y ago
I would love if Vercel paid all the people in the teams I mentioned earlier, told them to do whatever they want, and checked in only to make sure they had enough snacks. But that's probably not the case. Vercel employs these people. To

I'm not saying Vercel won't exist, they almost certainly will. What I mean is that the goal seems likely to be to influence how software development is done in every way possible, from deployment to client code. Vendor locking, wi

As someone that's been saying Vercel should be avoided for years now, it's nice to finally start seeing more hesitation from others. They now, to varying degrees, directly employ core maintainers for Svelte, SvelteKit, React, Next

I've been saying for years that everyone should put much more consideration into using anything that Vercel has its hands in, such as React, Next, and Svelte. Their goal is to lock people in the same way Heroku did, but even more aggre

The discussion is mostly over so this is likely just for posterity. I do have a list of attributes in my head for things. Things like cars are, in my opinion, not the best example since everyone has seen a car, say, millions of times (that&
