But it makes sense it being this way, doesn't it? I assume there are way fewer of Waymo taxis and the premium they provide is being able to ride privately at your own company. Also likely is that the riders might be more well off, part

Enjoyed the joke in the cookie banner! Have been mildly surprised how people controlling larger websites haven't been casually poking fun at this before.

Although the quote is rather harsh, then the article indeed doesn't read as coherent nor apply-able.

Not that `ss` from iproute2 is a newer alternitive to `netstat`. (The common cli flags are the same though, so not better in that regard.)

We might be coming from different backgrounds and hence not immediately understand each other, but, at least in Haskell if the types are precise in the sense that you can't construct invalid values, then using such types will make your

A less misleading title would be: "Constantly loud music might be harmful to the ears".

With Haskell, you can be more precise in expressing what you want.

They should extend this to Haskell and make use of the Curry-Howard isomorphism: define the program you want by a type signature and have the LLM find the implementation.

A good dependency solves a well defined problem with a direct API towards it, so yes, if the dependencies you talk about aren't high quality then yes, don't use those.

With "going low level" do you mean leaving the browser all together and shipping a native application? Although I currently don't need anything like this for work then still, the use case I see for GPU use in browser is that

You have made your normative assessment very clear, but I haven't heard of where and how do you draw the line. EDIT: Can't post any deeper, but the child can see that no such "statements" have been made.

Unfortunately this is not maintained since 2017: https://github.com/VictorTaelin/WebMonkeys/issues/26 Are there other projects doing something similar on current browsers?

Sure, nothing is, but where you draw the line? And why would you implement something again when you are unlikely to do it better, or even have time for it? And of course, if you're doing just recreational coding to learn something, or

If the dependency solves a thing you need and isn't part of your core business, it pretty much is 100% positive. E.g, do you really want to implement your own json parser? When will you then ship your actual product?

The article makes using dependencies look bad, while the actual issue rather is "quality controlling" the code in dependencies, as dead code elimination (or "tree shaking") removes the bloat from the final artifact. Beca

"Tyranny" has a negative connotation to it, but cultures vary, laws are not universal, and also people have different values - if you live somewhere where you can't otherwise transact, a private cryptocurrency may be a way ou

Today, Bitcoin is a scarce asset similar to gold and wants to become the global reserve currency (because it can't be devalued). The fast-cheap-private part may or may not be fixed at some point, especially the fast-cheap, or other cur

Though Haskell's Traversable is similar in name, then depending on what the developer intends, both Functor, Foldable or Monad could also help with the traversal. I.e, Haskell already has what the blog post asks for.

Many (most?) non-native English speakers do pronounce it as ess-queue-ell, especially in their own languages, so yes, the use of "a" instead of "an" does look off from that perspective.

I'm fuzzy on the timeline, but there was a time where the emerging CSS wasn't up to the task of creating more complex layouts (no flexbox, not to speak of the grid). CSS Zen Garden was just there to show what could be done by

Interesting website design: https://riak.com - reminds me of CSS Zen Garden. (Not that it says anything about how it performs etc.)

While the async library is great, then everything that came before (forkIO, MVar's, etc) was already simple enough - it's only the exception handling that was missing.

If you mean 'no bugs in compiler' then yes. The safety of the target language doesn't matter: the output C is has an equivalent role to output machine code, those languages themselves are as unsafe as they can get, it's
