I see this comment on all language postings and I just don’t get it. I’m much more curious about the motivation behind the language. If the syntax was that of APL, Forth, or Prolog would you just instantly ignore it because it doesn’t look

Well then what are you reading. It’s well known that Pfizer and Moderna required immunity from lawsuits in order to provide the vaccine and every country gave them that immunity. Here it is from CNBC. https://www.cnbc.com/am

Perhaps there is some confusion here between data races and race conditions. Rust and Pony prevent data races, but not race conditions.

At a minimum it would be nice to know good colors for the pseudo classes active, focus, hover, link, visited and their various combinations for a light and dark theme. Additionally material UI adds disabled, before, after.

This got flagged yesterday and I was pretty disappointed by that. The single post said it was FUD and linked a different study, which was on sperm, not eggs. And this study on rats is about a publication in the journal of virology, which I

Instinctually I’m bothered by passing an allocator to everything. LISP’s dynamic variables spring to mind. One could set an arena allocator at the top of a loop in a dynamic variable and then everything inside the loop would use that alloca

I know a ‘C’ code base that treats all socket errors the same and just retries for a limited time. However there are errors that make no sense to retry, like invalid socket or socket not connected. It is necessary to know what socket error

I think a file layout describes the exact arrangement of bytes in a file. A schema is higher level. It describes what is stored, not how it is stored. A database could be one file, or a file per table, or a file per column. Data could be st

Does it make any sense to have specialized models, which could possibly be a lot smaller. Say a model that just translates between English and Spanish, or maybe a model that just understands unix utilities and bash. I don’t know if limiting

I actually prefer text as #fff and background as #000. Lower contrast just seems harder to read. I suppose it depends on brightness setting. Also from an article in Nature. “Impact of text contrast polarity on the retinal activity in myopes

In CA we have many intersections where one wants to turn left, but there is not a dedicated left turn signal. When the light turns green, you pull out into the intersection. Ideally you pull out enough that the car behind you can also get i

I’m in the US. If you’re on say hwy 395 heading to Mammoth Mountain, the highway is frequently one lane in each direction. If the max speed limit is 70mph, you may come up on a semi truck doing 60mph and you will want to pass using the lane

I don’t know TLA+, but I find it interesting that the author indicates one of the strengths of TLA+ is it’s shared global memory when as programmers one is advised to never have global shared memory.

I came away with a different interpretation of Rich Hickey’s talk. I think he was advocating against using slots, where a slot would be a struct field. A slot has to have a value and if a value is not available then null is put there and no
