well, as an example, Vec::push doesn't have a way to report allocation failure. it will just panic, which is not acceptable in the kernel.

162 to 104 is not 75% reduction... Who calculates reduction percentage like that?!

This kind of smells LLM, which is fine. But I do want to see the facts backed by citations.

if datacenters are built by the government, then i think it's fair to assume there will be some level of democratic control of what those datacenters will be used for.

I think the individual game developers can choose whether they sell you the game or just rent you a license, right? Steam doesn't enforce DRM, they do provide an API game developers can use to add DRM to their games. But the developers

you have full control of a Linux system. win32/linux respects your rights that microsoft doesn't. that's the difference.

Unironically, yes. It's time that Microsoft taste their own medicine of embrace, extend, and extinguish.

pretty sure at-spi is independent from the display server

the xserver implementation itself is only part of the problem. the other part is the X11 protocol is just bad, and IMHO can't be solved by subsetting. this might make a good alternative to Xwayland though, which can be exciting.

C++ operator [] is poorly designed: index, and index+assignment should be two different operators, and indexing alone should never insert new entries into the map. Languages like D [0] or Rust [1] get this right. [0]: https://dla

The paper you linked is saying there is no benefit in Vitamin D supplementation in people who are not Vitamin D deficient. Which is not surprising. Do you have research showing sunlight Vitamin D has benefit for someone who is not deficient

well japan has comiket. unlike the Western equivalents like Comicon, etc. which has been mostly captured by corporates as a channel of advertisement, comiket remained a grassroots market, where ordinary, individual artists can get a booth t

The interpretation is not the problem. Whether he will do it, is actually secondary to the fact that he thinks cutting adblock can bringing in money. No, it will just kill the browser. The fact he thinks otherwise tells me how out of touch

it's not just about cloud service dependency, or his loyalty to Apple, or things like that. for important data you _have_ to have backups, 3-2-1 rule and all that. the fact he put all the eggs in Apple's bucket is beyond me. sure

the point is unstable features aren't guaranteed to not break after a compiler update. hence the specific version thing.

Actually curious, how often do you find uses for LeetCode patterns in your actual work?

But the author isn't saying we should program in any of these memory safe languages. The author is saying why don't we vibe code in C, or even assembly.

by nialv7 10mo ago
This is such a bad take I don't even know where to start... Even if you think vibe coding _is_ the future, there are still so many things wrong about this article. It's like the author has a fundamental misunderstanding why we eve

> "There are no live tests for ads" Do they really think we would just believe whatever they say? Do they think we don't have the ability to think for ourselves. The utter disrespect...

Ah, the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" argument. I mean sure, but having a tool that made fabrication so much easier has made the problem a lot worse, don't you think?

China really is keeping the open weight/source AI scene alive. If in five years a consumer GPU market still exists it would be because of them.

> Supply chain has left us. <rant> Who made the decision? There are still so many of us wanting a compact phone, but the big tech companies (Google, Apple, etc.) said no, therefore we can't have it. Not only can we not have it

oh that's funny. do you have a link to where he had said that? i guess Yanis Varoufakis did work at Valve, so there's some basis. but then again, what an organization is internally and how the organization behave as a whole can be

I always think Valve as the "ideal" capitalist company, because what they do fits the idea of "invisible hand" perfectly, that each individual acting in their own self-interest end up benefiting everyone. And you'd
