The biggest reason is probably that you need to fit a medical insurance agent, a lawyer and a doctor all around the same hospital bed to give care.

I thought the series made by some journalist was very interesting, I don't remember her name, and I don't remember so much of gamergate. But I'm definitely not a core part of either group there..

Technological progress comes from us all being lifted to new levels and higher standards, I think. The Bcachefs/Btrfs niche is the standard we want/expect now and I think people are right to imagine it, develop it and make it happ

(That's impressive, but the real world user pool is much smaller isn't. It still sounds like a proud brag more than it does proven by workload.) I am not a filesystems guy, but I was disappointed when I realized that btrfs did not

It's a year of very rapid change. I just realized the other week (naively) that we (non-US) should really be bracing even more than we are. For shocks to come, economical, cultural as a reaction to the slide towards an authoritarian pr

A threat is unilateral, and this is not unilateral.

Linus didn't threaten removal. Removing it from the kernel is apparently a topic that came up in a non-public maintainer conversation where both Kent and Linus were participating.

there was the "old dog new tricks" xfs talk long time ago, but I suppose it was for fun and exploration and not really a sneak peek into snapshots

I'm delighted to see the point about "content" in the blog post, finally someone saying that (I also think so and have thought so).

by now it's a well worn/used trope to make -gate names for any scandal. But the distance in time (and culture) to the original Watergate scandal is growing, so it seems less impactful now.

To be sure, it's a joke. Mostly trying to joke at the expense of these excessively complicated variable names (that are only there because it's pseudocode) :) And yeah, the chinese tone in practice does not align with the idea of

I've just been learning pinyin notation, so now i think the variable řₚ should have a value that first goes down a bit and then up.

Well, bamboo comes to mind as a really weird tree. It's not a tree, but it's the size of one..

Yes for your general education I think you should learn a functional language. This is how I think about it, at least.

No, it's just nonsense. Same result with fewer or more returns..

Many of them are on the same theme - the theme is `return -> !`. Here's my favourite on that theme, which I was missing from the list: return return return return return return return return return 1

Lots of developers in the ecosystem avoid proc macros for example. But going as far as avoiding monomorphisation and generics is not that widespread

143 km is very short for an Australian rail line. If you said it would cross all of Australia, then I'd believe you :)

I like uv run and uvx like the swiss army knifes of python that they are, but PEP 723 stuff I think is mostly just a gimmick. I'm not convinced it's more than a cool trick.

The threat is literally the opposite, it is very freeing to be able to write typst syntax because it's quicker and easier to write. But then you're cursed by the fact that every other place now uses latex math syntax by convention
416.
by kzrdude 1y ago
One relatively optimistic prediction would be that a few will accept Typst, but latex export from Typst will gradually get more mature, until we end up with a charade where more people use other frontends like Quarto or Typst that output to

The free plan on overleaf only allows collaboration between 2 people. If you have 3 students in your report assignment then you can't use overleaf for free. That sounds like a sign that overleaf is struggling, that they had to make tha

And notice the other abstraction too. This is not 'an app to change MAC address' but an app to 'overcome WiFi time limits'.

That's a little bit interesting. It remains then a C-like language with generics, and that sounds a lot more fun than regular C. I don't yet understand the point of avoiding references or libstd, though.

So it sounds like you'll "filter out the noise" until the wannabe dictator stands on /your/ neck, and then it's a bit late to react..
