Two things that come to my mind: 1. Sometimes "lock-free" actually means using lower-level primitives that use locks internally but don't expose them, with fewer caveats than using them at a higher level. For example, compare

I understood the criticism to be about describing it as open source when it isn't, i.e. that "We say it's open source because we expect the reader to know that we're not telling the truth" should be replaced by &quo

Some rambling... I always wonder if something like these undocumented opcodes could be used as a concept in more modern processors. Backend, transistors were a precious resource, and the result was those opcodes. Nowadays, instruction encod

The garbage that dominates the web has everything to do with centralization of power, and nothing with HTML vs JS. The former is a people problem and the latter is just tech.

I'm not arguing against a re-submission check. You'll need that anyway to prevent attackers from bypassing the browser and messing up your data. But even with a nonce and a re-submission check, the cache headers are essential to m

Which part exactly? Re-loading the page on navigating back would be done using cacheability headers. This is the most shaky part, and I'm not sure if it is possible today. If this does indeed not work, then this would be one of the &qu

You have now stated that "those people should feel bad" for the second time. Personal attacks will hardly bring any change into this world. I'd instead suggest that you propose actual ways to solve the same problems that Java

This will prevent re-submission but still be confusing for the user. Why even allow submitting when navigating back? If the order has been submitted already, the submit button should be greyed out with a message saying that the order has be

The meaning of a value (data type in programming lingo) is not a preference because it is objective, not subjective. It depends on the cell being displayed, not on the viewer in front of the screen.

Google doesn't "vaccuum up" anything. Every site indexed by Google is still available without using Google at all. They are _copying_ information, not moving or removing it.

For a teaching tool, you can get the best of both worlds by simply restricting RISC-V to fewer registers. Something like: "Write this in RISC-V assembly, but only use registers 0..3, and 31 for the return address."

If you are using a 3d engine that doesn't support actual isometric views, you can put the "iso" in isometric by moving the camera far away and at the same time zooming in on the object. This has the effect that all points of

Snail mail has never claimed that a history of all messages, with that history having a current state, exists. If you send a paper letter, you don't have it yourself anymore. You might keep a copy, but that's a _copy_, not the let

Linux's security model doesn't become better just because everybody is doing it that way, and besides that, everybody is doing it because they are copying Linux.

Browser navigation (especially "open in new tab") and the back button were broken by global (server-side) session state long before SPAs were a thing. If anything, SPAs improved on that, because very few server-side web frameworks

This is fine. A problem arises when you assume that this will always be the case, for all developers, and then mandate that they omit comments, _without checking if your assumption is true for their case_. IMHO that rule can be generalized:
