Yes, it us common among people who use git and it makes reviews of complex features much easier.

I looked at one thing the bun developers wanted to fix in Zig and the issue with it was a bad idea which would not have been merged even if it had been written by a human.

Nah, feel free to insult any company I have worked for or even the company that I am one of the founders of. I don't see why that should be off limits. But do not insult me as a person.

Spruce allergy is a thing but it is rare. Only a few unlucky people suffer from it.

No, that is only the cause of some of the uptime issues. Some have clearly been caused by deploying briken code.

Given that exactly the same thing has been regulated as gambling in Europe under the name "betting exchange" for 25 years the case for it being gambling is quite strong.

What if CFTC would start to claim they are allowed to regulate online casinos or online poker? I feel that would be about as non-sensical.

Technically they are betting exchanges. But they also probably have contracts with some of the big sportsbooks to provide liquidity too making them also kinda a sportsbook. I used to work at a betting exchange and we did have liquidity part

And there is no house in pool betting, poker or backgammon either. We still count all of them including betting exchanges (what has now been rebranded as prediction markets) are still normally regulated as gambling.

Have you heard of Betfair? A UK company which has done "prediction markets" since 2000. In the Europe it is called a betting exchange and regulated like sports betting. And betting pools is another form of betting which is way old

I don't see why it even would weaken the logical consistency. Just because a state allows gambling does not mean they need to allow anyone to open a casino or betting site. You still need to apply for a licence and follow local regulat
134.
by jeltz 5mo ago
In states which allow sports betting it is still regulated. Thet are just an illegal betting sites.

I will have to just disagree with you here. Simula had OOP before Smalltalk existed and both Smalltalk and later C++ arose out of Simula.

Yeah, that edit clearly changes the meaning of the text.

I have a low paying job at a FOSS company. Does this mean I am allowed to cast the first stone?

Poaching four full time core developers is bound to hurt any open source project, even ones much larger than Zulip.

So your comment is just appeal to authority?

by jeltz 5mo ago
In this particular case maybe but in general I would say it is the other way round.

Pretty sure this is just a lie to increase the value of Space X before the IPO. Not sure why people still trust Elon after all his hype and lies.

Why? These data centers will likely be further away from the Starlink satellites than Satrlink is from Earth. It would make much more sense to control you drone swarm from something on Earth's surface.

Not using them would also solve all issues with cosmic radiation.

I feel that is a bit of a false history. OOP was invented by people trying to simulate physical systems, e.g. Stroustup, the Simula people and their contemporaries not business people. Arguably it was popularized later by business people an

No, you are confusing different aspects of writing systems. Pictoral scripts are often very divorced from the pictoral meaning. Moving away for pictoral scripts is mostly a question about ease of writing which is why the hieroglyphs survive

This is more like if JetBrains wrote a blog post about the dangers of IDEs.

Egyptian hierghlyps had phonetic values too so it definitely would be able to express everything spoken Egyptian could. The main issue with hieroglyphics is that it was a very convoluted system, where symbols meant different things dependin

Python and C are the only language in which I have experienced that class of bugs. And that is due to if statements without brackets in C and because Python has meaningful indentation which people have accidentally messed up when refactorin

Probably same reason people expected outsourcing to the cheapest firm in India would work: wishful thinking. People wanted it to work and therefore deluded themselves. Or really the same reason people fall for get rich quick schemes.
