Hmm, means-tested program behind UBI would mean you get more money if UBI is not enough, right? I have heard some arguments in favor of that, for example for disabled people. You are right that those programs need to be a lot smaller and si

Not everything is made from wires and transistors. And that's why these things are usually not measured in powers of 2: - magnetic media - optical media - radio waves - time There's good reasons for having power-of-2 sectors (they

I agree it's great, but that risk is so major that I stopped using it. "There's a 50% chance that your editor will invisibly corrupt the data you enter, and another 30% chance to corrupt the entire file" is just not usab

Lots of people. Several people from Arm and Microsoft, various PhD students... I don't know if anyone working at Facebook worked on the JIT, maybe they did.

Being good is one thing, being compatible with existing files full of VBA macros is another. Although MS themselves apparently don't realize that, considering how they push the web version which doesn't support them?

It's great to hear you've already tried X twice. But have you tried reading our FAQ section on X? Also, try using this setting that doesn't exist or this dialog that was removed in 2022

Depends. If it takes an assembly programmer 8 hours to implement <X>, can an equally proficient Python programmer spending 8 hours to implement <X> create a faster program? Let's say they only need 2 hours to get the <X&

If LLMs were like compilers, you could put src/ into .gitignore and only upload the prompt. Even the earliest compilers didn't work by the programmer writing code, copying the assembly output into their source tree, and throwing a

That's really not the point they were making. You are much more likely to be repressed/harrassed/arrested by your local government than a foreign government. So a local government knowing your behavior is more likely to lead

The ones that come to mind immediately are more ALTER statements (especially adding non-virtual columns), DATE, TIME, and TIMESTAMP types and their associated functions, and ARRAY types. Although I don't wish to disparage SQLite, they

by hmry 9mo ago
That's definitely true. Can't have generics / compile time evaluation across languages. Need to design your code around that restriction ahead of time. SQLite being dynamically typed luckily doesn't have any problems wit

You can still use them inside your code, just not as arguments or return values from the API. And it's not like that's a point in favor of C, since C doesn't have vector or unique_ptr either

by hmry 9mo ago
Yeah, it's not a very convincing argument imho. You can write C libraries in C++ or Rust or D or Zig, and people do it all the time. In fact, some popular C++ libraries don't even have a stable C++ API, only a C API. LLVM comes to

Yeah, results are what matters. SQLite's process seems to produce solid bug-free results. My only complaint would be that there's many SQL features I want to use which aren't supported. Surely some part of that is deliberatel

Sanctioning is now the same as complaining, apparently. Someone is concerned about the US personally sanctioning EU judges, you make some false equivalence about EU sanctioning US companies, and then again about EU citizens complaining abou

The price of not requiring fn is mandatory forward declarations, header files, and a slower parser (because then the syntax requires knowing whether every symbol is a type or a function/variable to be parsed correctly) I think that tra

I certainly use defaultdict often in Python too, but not more often than the regular dict. Maybe 90% dict and 10% defaultdict. So from my POV lookup only should definitely be the default.

Are you arguing that calling it "whiteness" is a bad branding move by the sociologists? In that case, I fully agree. There's other similar bad branding moves like "toxic masculinity" or "racism = power + prejud
