Leave dotnet alone, it has nothing to do with this. And you can't complain about the API. It's so good and established that games can now just use the Windows API to run on Linux. This destructive attitude will just turn people of

Well, that's what Ribbons are for. I don't get the hate on them - they are rather cool.

You're projecting your strong opinion on others. I've used C# since 2008 for business software and high performance computing. I've not missed sum types at all. Most of what was added is something I see a lot of value in. I d

Git is the right tool. It's just bad at this job.

I've searched for some performance comparisons between Graal and equivalent GCC programs and it seems like Graal is not quite at the same level - unsurprisingly, it is probably more concerned with avoiding boxing than optimal use of SI

A majority, yes. Though I know enough of them that proceeded with a PhD to say that it's far from universal.

As far as I know, please correct me if I'm wrong, the USB spec does not allow USB-C to C cables at all. The host side must always be type A. This avoids issues like your cellphone power supplying not just your headphones but also your

You're simply wrong about CS. CS is a science. You are not looking for scientists, you are looking for apprentices. Don't hire an architect to paint your wall. Don't hire scientists to be code monkies. Universities are not th

SSH is absolutely not a core CS skill. I use it daily, and I think students should pick it up somewhere along the line. But it still is a mere tool, not a concept that should be taught in mandatory classes. Same goes for latex and git and C

Sorry but that's just nonsense. "Programming" has for a long time been a low level job. In Germany, it is taught as an apprentice level program. CS in practical universities will instead, or rather on top, teach program archi

I'm not in the least a fan of police overreach, but if a bank gets robbed and you are in the vicinity directly afterwards with a ton of cash in hand, I'd say that consitutes probable cause to at least look into what's going o

With all due respect, to say that codecs are more difficult to get right than optimizing compilers is absurd. The only reason I can think of why you would say this is that nowadays we have good compiler infrastructure that works with many h

There has been a lawsuit over that, I've not heard of its result yet.

No. If they were allowed to just say "We did nothing wrong" to not have to cooperate with an investigation, it would open the door to trivial abuse. It is reasonable to assume they are at least partially to blame. Just like a reg

This is not at all what I was talking about and reads like a tangent.

History has shown abundantly that companies will ignore risks that are small. If the risk materializes, just let the investors' money burn and found another company. Or if the company is big, just let the government step in and save yo

Why do you think they kill journalists? If they were innocent, they would invite everyone to send their journalists in and verify that Israel's position is valid. What Iareal does is not just a lack of assistance, it is active preventi

If you ever dabble more closely in low level optimization, you will find the first instance of the C compile having a brain fart within less than an hour. Random example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71343461&#x2

For what it's worth, I prefer drugged up people in a bus rather than behind the wheel. It's better to be annoyed by them than to be dead from a car crash with them.

Might be a good idea. This is so curious. The US has a weird fetish with privatizing things that the government should handle, like consumer protection. If there were a reasonably robust infrastructure for this outside of payment processors

AI shit is usually not advertising as such. It's made to look like it was made a human. So I would have to consider this product carefully beforehand, or to return it after buying. That's a hassle. I don't want to spend produ

Who's saying that the model stays the same and the seed is not random for most of the companies that run AI? There is no drawback to randomness for them.

"hard left"? In what universe are you? A hard left newspaper would call for making all companies worker-owned, and I don't see anything like that from the Guardian.

Yes. Prominent example is the axiom of choice. There was a LOT of discussion about it by mathematicians. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/axiom-choice/ For instance, with it, you can double the volume of a body
