Oh, I'm not debating the impact such a decision has on users, but rather on development experience and ops. > schema-less distributed database instead of saved to file I was actually going to suggest SQLite.

The concern around C-style nullable pointers is that you can't opt out of nullability; everything you point to may or may not dereference. As opposed to other designs (e.g. "optional" types leveraging generics) that are opt-i

No NATO member even recognizes Taiwan as a sovereign country, going from that to NATO membership seems... quite the leap.

Ring signatures -based mixers for voting seems like a bad idea... how do you solve vote selling?

i would say this quote does not apply here. VM implementations are in the infamous 3% Donald Knuth is warning us about.

Why should the money go the to code authors in the first place? All training data is available under permissive licenses. Assuming you're not overfitting on specific code sequences (which would require attribution - and yes, I'm a

You can't say the same about reactors, it's a weak comparison.

I believe parent was making a point that the nighttime vs daytime distinction is irrelevant, because the grid never goes to to sleep. Having sufficient clean energy during daytime only is not acceptable.

I wouldn't hold the lack of a natural language specification against Typescript. Canonical open-source implementations work just as well in practice and tend to become de-facto standards: Microsoft's compiler is effectively a huma

Yes, he did, but that just shows that it's possible to inject self-replicating code in a compiler. It doesn't actually tell us how resistant such code is to compiler source changes, audits, binary analysis, etc. which are all requ

Ken Thompson's hack is purely theoretical, especially in the modern computing landscape where the diversification of software supply chains would make such hack much 1. less effective and 2. easier to detect. If we're talking abou

I can't help but wonder if that's subconsciously learnt by association of the typeface with (La)TeX and academia rather than based on the sole merits of Computer Modern itself. If we're just looking at the typography, Compute

Most of the advantage in alternative layouts is improved comfort and less injury-prone finger movements. Faster typing speed is basically a nice side effect.

I've given a lot of thought about this in the past, and I do agree with you but it's not because of Pluralis Maiestatis. From the reader's perspective, the team developing the product that I'm selling is simply a set of

If your email is that fundamental to your job you should 100% have a custom domain, so that you can switch email provider without causing disruption to your day-to-day job. It shouldn't cost more than ~$60 a year.

Not a single member of the Rust Core team is currently employed by Amazon IIRC, you're probably thinking about the lang/compiler folks.

This is quite literally my dream. FIRE, then scratch some niche itches of mine solving deep problems without ever worrying about profitability.

The usage of `unless` strikes me as unmaintainable and "smart", not in a good way tbh. The types are all other the places, too. What is it even doing exactly? Appending a string to a null value..?

How nonsensical to have this as a percentage. The underlying operational cost doesn't really depend on how much money you spent on the food. I don't see how delivery can be profitable on < $10 orders with a 15% cap.
