It's a fundamental architecture change only if we assume async == slow (or potentially slow) which isn't always true. Otherwise you might want to run something inline that the language designer made async - such as writing a file

The problem with effects systems is that effects aren't generalisable. Every effect is unique. Sometimes they can be applied automatically and sometimes not. You can have the compiler automatically recompile map with async to make map&

To go with this, don't be afraid of changing your code. If you get an unexpected change that means a whole hierarchy has to become async, bite the bullet and change the hierarchy . Such things happen. This works for all applications,

I felt like they were reaching deep to find dimensions. Whether a task runs autonomously or needs its parent to poll it (Rust) is a dimension but whether an autonomous running task can continue after being cancelled shouldn't be - if y

Does anybody insist the Oscar winners can't be (pun intended?) bad actors? As I recall, it's been widely criticised for a long time but the mass media shoves it down our throats anyway.

The US agreement says it too. They make you agree to them collecting it. It says they listen to everything that's said in the vicinity and you agree to inform any guests to your house that they're being recorded at all times. But

As they said, you wouldn't pay $10/month for search. This is why free pay-with-your-data services won. Nobody wants to pay for what they use, so companies extract value in other ways and you can't complain about that if you&#

Why should they? Would they sell more hardware if they did? And why Linux? Shouldn't they write an ACPI driver for Haiku first? Companies do what makes money, period. Activist companies have been almost completely wiped out by this sta

ACPI firmware is not code that runs by itself. It is code that the kernel interprets. If the kernel doesn't interpret it, it won't run. SMM firmware runs by itself but also can't interact with ACPI locks anyway.

It's not just that. Several social medias have evolved to the point where being a prick is mandatory or is rewarded. Chief example is X, where you get rewarded for agreeing with Elon; but see also the stereotypes of Reddit and Discor

Why put words in their mouth? They clearly mean a majority. They don't want projects that are majority written by LLMs. If they didn't want projects that an LLM had ever been anywhere near, they would've just said that. They&

Nobody was using Reddit in 2008. Did it even have comments yet?

No, I mean low-trust societies. I don't know if a low-trust society can be first-world because it prevents value creation.

that doesn't make sense. if you have E2EE working you might as well use it for everything.

Doesn't work, what if both are on the same page such as a home feed? Analogy: the theater shows both R and PG movies, so a forcefield prevents kids entering the building on days where an R movie is shown at any time in any theater that

I wonder what caused the glitch. Maybe the temperature increase was caused by the increase in concentration of a gas that raises the temperature. Nah, must be magic pixies.

Marginalia likely returns better results than Google, when it returns useful results. DDG/Bing likely returns average quality results which can be better than Google's slop results. It's not true that Google is the only usefu

The capitalist economy is based on the explicit idea that everyone will do everything they can to extract value from everyone else, and it'll come to some kind of equilibrium. If you do not do this but you allow everyone else to do thi

You expect Google to serve thousands of petabytes per month (costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in raw bandwidth) for absolutely nothing in return?

Has that ever happened?

Officially Kagi pays SerpAPI to scrape Google for them, since Google doesn't have an API they'll let Kagi use.

Maybe. This is probably the sort of thing the card issuer can't adjudicate, and needs an actual lawsuit.

I don't get this commonplace logic. Why make the decision on the possible distant future? You can always just cancel when that happens.
