No, Texas bans abortions from 6 weeks onwards (except when the mother's life is in danger). That's decidedly not more liberal than the majority of the world.

Yes, I think that's the issue. I built a reasonably popular typechecker for PHP, so I have some experience with the DX for these sorts of programs. I don't think it's good for a couple of ASCII characters and line breaks to b

If you look at that map you'll see that abortion is legal for the majority of people on planet earth.

Speaking as a non-American, to the rest of the world those are indeed wacky right-wing laws. You have to have been brought up in a political monoculture not to see that.

I have a good point of contrast: I'm doing a similar task with an unstable Rust dependency, and when APIs change the error messages from the typechecker are crystal clear about why things are incompatible.

yes, that would be a straightforward error message! But I got the error message Error: This expression has type ((locl_ty * Tast.pos * ('ex, 'fb, 'en) Aast.expr_) list -> Result_set.t) lis

The article doesn't mention the climate impact, but there's a cost to people moving from a big walkable coastal city with decent public transport and dense housing (e.g. NYC, Boston, Philadelphia) to a city where you're drivi

I found my experience trying to work with a large OCaml base a nightmare — when signatures changed in an unstable dependency (e.g. function argument removed and nested inside another), the errors spat out by the typechecker were utterly inc

I was wowed the first time I put on a VR headset, and I continue to be wowed every time I try it. But lots of regular people aren't sufficiently wowed to pay console-level prices for the experience, which to me indicates that the culpr

Used to work for Vimeo, I know a bit about this. Hosting videos is a non-trivial thing. Let's say you upload a video in 4K. Not everyone can watch in 4K, so it needs to be converted into other resolutions. That's transcoding. Then

Coinbase will still exist in the fall. It will likely be a significantly smaller company than the one you applied to, but I'm sure the engineers there will try to make you feel welcome.

I think the environmental argument is the easiest one to make against crypto, and the easiest one for crypto fans to discount (“proof of stake is coming in X months!!”). More importantly, though, it’s mostly a way for already-rich people to

> It is still a task many developers aren't able to do. Yeah, I think parallelism is naturally intimidating to many developers used to single-threaded work. I just those developers encounter Rust.

by muglug 4y ago
I'm glad that Rust has changed this, at least in my very specific case: I wrote a command-line application in PHP and adding parallelisation was a long journey of trial and error and concurrency bugs that took over a week to get right.

MAU has to be done sort-of retroactively: you could say "given the accounts we now know to be bots and have removed, what percentage of January 2022's MAU were inauthentic". Sometimes bot accounts will do organic-looking beha

by muglug 4y ago
It's not "pretty straightforward" — you can't provide the raw data behind all your accounts because that data includes a ton of PII. Any data you do provide will be based on some sort of analysis and/or sampling.

Seems like he's looking for a tactical retreat — the bots question is hyper-subjective, and provides the company a lot of wiggle-room. How many Twitter accounts were created in automated fashion, but designed to look authentic, and hav

I meant to say "this hopes to build on the success of Rust" — Rust is explicitly called out in the readme.

This builds on the success of Rust, but Rust has not been a success when it comes to [number of engineers writing professional code in the language]. By that measure it's still incredibly niche compared to interpreted languages. The ma

I don't think less code = less security issues. Often using those secure-by-default frameworks require more code. The simplest example in PHP (highlighted in the article for its default-insecurity): echo '<h1>Hello &#x

The gains aren't massive — certainly not something any human using the site would notice (about 20ms faster to render pages for the average mobile phone user). Still good to remove unncessary dependencies, though.

The root of this particular issue was Vimeo's failure to do this migration for their customers. Vimeo OTT has a codebase written in Rails, whereas the main PHP application is written in PHP. At the time Vimeo acquired Vimeo OTT's
