I agree with you, but on Windows it's difficult. If you are not an administrator on the computer that you are using, you should run Visual Studio as an administrator while you are using the profiler. (Right-click the Visual Studi

Assuming that's a good faith question (I'm skeptical), let's click through some random HN headlines and use uMatrix to count how many requests for Javascript and other garbage are being made to Google servers, and how many a

Sure, blame the victims. Are we sure the software using Variston doesn't have a fine print disclaimer?

Am I, though? If Chrome sends unknown telemetry back to Google without telling the user up front, how is it not spyware?

Budapest is a strange choice for comparison. Just about anywhere in the United States will be a lot cheaper than SF, too, without the huge inconvenience of moving internationally.

You're missing option three which is to save enough money that you don't need to work 100% of the time. It's pretty easy to save money on a software developer salary in the United States.

Seems like a publicity stunt. A face covering would cost nothing and achieve the end goal of hiding their identity.

Yeah, I agree. I'm not against making it a built-in, but it seems to cater to a tiny usecase that I don't have. Maybe it's more people than I know, though.

Personally, I use CLOS all the time and think it's great. Even without defining my own classes, I use multiple dispatch and methods on arbitrary types quite a bit. Admittedly, I don't really use the advanced features like MOP, b

I don't think that changes my answer. The telemetry proxy service would need packages for each distro, including scripts to work with systemd and init, and maybe a "libtelemetry" package to make using the service easier. The

Out of curiosity, why not write a Scheme or Common Lisp compiler? Or just a subset?

Here's a browser written in pure Common Lisp: https://closure.common-lisp.dev/ These questions are so silly. Nobody's written a web-browser in Rust, Python, Ruby, Java, Clojure, Haskell, Erlang, Typescript, Javas

Considering Lisp was here first, shouldn't the real question be "why use Rust/C++/Python when there's Lisp?" You can't even create a real closure in Rust. I'd love to see 10 lines of Rust that showed

It's not quite as easy, but in a case like that I prefer to run the software in a VM using the version of Linux it was designed for. Lets you keep "compile once, run forever" without crippling the rest of your software to sup

Honestly, I'm so tired of arbitrary UI and behavior changes, I'd actually say more companies need to back off their engineering velocity as they scale. Get it right, then leave it alone.
