I agree, I love that Go is simple but it is simply too...simple. It makes it hard to represent a much harder state transformations.

What is easier is to probably sneak in a new dependency that points to a malicious fork. Something like an XML to JSON library that does do the thing that is advertised but also additional things.

One thing that I hated when I used to use Confluence is the amount of loading it does every, single, time I navigate to any page. I can't help but feel the pain of my browser downloading and loading the same thing over and over and ove

Why do so many modern language still prefer validation over parse? Is there any benefit to validation aside from some vague claims about optimization? See: strings in D.

I think there are very few people who are truly scientists in that they spend their lives trying to solve multiple problems. I think most people have 1 or 2 grand ideas and they execute them. I've seen "scientist"s that are t

It's obviously bad to want other people to die but there is a case to be made that no life (that can suffer) should be created. It also depend on what we mean by immortal, are they technically just alive? Or actively flourishing?

You do realize it's only going to be available for very rich people right? Assuming that the technology is not trivial, only the rich will ever get it. Same thing with genetically modified kids. Even if it is trivial, corporations will

This is necessary in JS because the language itself is broken. You actually can't JUST add 2 "number"s because they might not actually be numbers. Writing raw JS is like writing raw assembly.

People need to study more why that gaping face became a trick to the algorithm. It's certainly (I hope) not functioning adults that are so easily tricked by it? I suspect a large amount of what drives the algorithm is young impressiona

Have you tried Lapce? It's way snappier than VSCode.

VSCode is adequate, not great. The bar for responsive and minimal application is so bad these days thanks to web apps.

then why would engineers in other industries accept theirs? IMO software should move a lot slower, but the economy does not work that way. There's way too many experimental things that go live in production.

is paying a large sum of money the only way to learn about JXL? What about JPEG?

I think certification is secondary. The most important thing is liability. The problem is that software problems are ephemeral and often gets disregarded. If a software is slow, people seems to just live with it and/or just buy faster
