I'm not super familiar with SOAP and CORBA, but how is SOAP any more coherent than a "RESTful" API? It's basically just a bag of messages. I guess it involves a schema, but that's not more coherent imo, since you ju

Isn't that true for ZigBee too? Can you sell ZigBee devices (and market them as such) without paying fees?

Yeah, NXP in my experience had an issue with having too much documentation. In the sense that you get drowned in a 3000 pages PDF that lists every detail but becomes hard to parse unless you want to base everything around that specific pl

Yeah and even then, it's been like ~ 2-3 years since the last rather major Architectural improvement, major enough for a lot of people to actually hear about it and use it daily. I think some people lose perspective on how short of a t

What? It's one of the most often repeated arguments against kubernetes. Even in the article, that this entire thread is about, yaml is mentioned repeatedly.

How is Wayland more secure than modern win32? Not saying it isn't, but win32 is at least a lot safer than x11 imo.

My Samsung Galaxy outputs HEIC by default afaik. It's configurable, and I can turn that off, but still HEIC is not apple specific.

Pytorch is a pretty basic building block when you get to some degree of model complexity. It wouldn't really be interesting to implement autograd or some other things pytorch provides imo when the goal is to show a reimplantation of so

I think it is, but to be clear I think (from my very limited experience, just a couple of years before leaving finance, and the people with more experience that I've talked with) that c++ is still a lot more common than any GC language

You just let the garbage accumulate and collect it whenever markets are closed. In most cases, whenever you need ultra low latency in trading, you usually have very well defined time constraints (market open/close). Maybe it's dif

I thought EMPRESS (the only one that was able to consistently put out cracks and only for some games) retired. So there's literally no one who's cracking any recent games, which is all that matters for publishers.

Yes exactly, I completely agree! I was about to say that, but even with that rather restrictive definition it still doesn't make sense to want things like QUIC anywhere else but in userland. But whenever I hear about "philosophy&q

by mardifoufs 1y ago
What? Don't worry, I understand "the basic concepts". It's just that you yourself said that it was about a philosophy so it's weird to claim that disagreeing with said philosophy is just ignorance. Also, I'm no

Considering that a lot of people use their OS just to navigate the web, you could use the logic you are applying here to argue that the browser should be an OS provided component. Plus, networking is one of the easiest things to move to use

France usually has its own domestic alternatives for a lot of stuff. Even online. It's becoming less and less true (for example, instagram or tiktok are just as common there than anywhere else) though. So it could make sense to think t

I don't think there's any law that restricts that type of speech in the US. YouTube is strict about those things because of advertisers, not because of any local law.

So, no actual proof? And actually no, at least where I live, for the first two weeks masks were strongly discouraged and were said to be useless by our local government (Quebec). That was for the first 2 weeks of the pandemic, which were th

Copyright laws are usually more strict in Europe. Yes it's a broad generalization and Europe has a lot of different jurisdictions, but the biggest European countries all have worse Copyright laws. France has HADOPI, Germany has its own

You sound like the people who argue for disallowing any communist speech or ideology from being discussed because "communism killed 100 million people" or something. Like yes covid killed millions. What's your point exactly?

by mardifoufs 1y ago
Mhmm, so would it be fine for a private platform not allowing say, Muslims on their website? Especially a platform as big as YouTube? I mean, it's essential to their rights to be able to do that, I guess? Like I understand your point,

As I said, there's a big difference between them saying something, and them actually publishing internal documents about the case. I mean they can always lie about the documents themselves or modify them, but there's a very long h

I don't think anyone is claiming the CIA documents that were released recently were fake so I don't think that's the case. In fact, a lot of people, even the conspiracy types, give documents from intelligence agencies a lot o

Mhmm not sure I'd agree that webapps have more edge cases than say, Jetpack compose (especially the PC version), or QML. Plus a huge advantage of web based stuff is that the edge cases are usually a lot more documented. I say this as s

Ah sorry that makes sense!! Yeah, that's exactly what how I feel too. It's sad that npm has improved so much while Python's packaging hasn't (not by default at least, whereas npm is basically a default in js projects by

Not sure I follow. I wish python was as good as npm/node_modules. And how is nuget better than npm? Is it just package quality or something else? I rarely use npm and I'm not a webdev but whenever I use it I think it's pretty

Which western countries have "stricter" immigration policies? Even the US now doesn't treat refugees like Denmark did a few years ago (mass, wholesale expulsion to a country that was still at war, with very little exceptions)

Please write that blog post if you can! It's such an interesting part of the industry imo but there's basically ~ public documentation or discussions about it.

Is it actually in common usage? I'm sure it's used by a lot of people, but it seems quite niche still.

I agree that it does seem like there's a misconception that there's "C or C++" (system languages) and "the rest" (memory safe but not system langs). Which is obviously false, and I think the novel thing about r

Again it doesn't really matter imo. There's no reason for ada rewrites to not take place, but I don't seem to come across a lot of community projects aiming at rewriting, say, coreutils in Ada. That's maybe due to the la
