For the general case, I am pretty sure what you describe is the halting problem [1]. This does not mean that I believe some approximation is impossible (your “write to file” comment is particularly true). Just feeling the need to highlight

Just to clarify, I do not think that orangeoxidation holds the position that it is technically impossible. I just think that there is no evidence that it is either technically impossible or – like you – that there is any evidence or good re

This point of view comes up from time to time and it is and has always been a false choice. What you need is a consensual mechanism to relinquish in part or entirely aspects of your control to Apple in exchange for convenience/security

No, it does not feel strange that it is the default, as I would love it if more people abided by the same moral code as myself which is why I contribute in a free exchange of ideas and advocate for people to volunteer both in terms of organ

Blindly going after dissenters and/or alternative opinions is never a good thing, which communities would that be? In the ones that I frequent Nix is still a bit of a fringe phenomena reserved for nutters such as myself. From inside th

You do not need ligatures for umlauts, but that does not stop the odd software (or maybe user?) here and there refusing to do it the “sensible way”.

Yes, looking like Alacritty is far from supporting it as well [1]. Not that it usually bothers me and I really do not care for ligature-based coding fonts, but it can pop up in e-mails and filenames for things like umlauts. [1]: https:&#x2

All right, how about this. Instead of parroting a common nationalist talking point (that is common across the globe) that is little more than a knee-jerk reaction to allow for blanket dismissal of criticism, how about you raise the level of

Thank you, I was unaware of this. While I have lost a talking point in favour of Julia – the `@show` macro – I am happy that my old friends over in Python land has access to some better ergonomics and can stop rubbing this in their face. ;)

Wait, have I been on HN since 2011 without realising this? There is nothing in the FAQ at least [1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html I have always avoid pushing “hide” since I assumed a new submission would p

What I want is a news aggregator like HN but where I can control (possibly have it learnt) how to rank based on network effects. Preferably in an interpretable fashion if any machine learning gets involved. Heck, I would even be happy for i

Not that I am a heavy DataFrame user, but I have felt more at home with the comparatively light-weight TypeTables [1]. My understanding is that the rather complicated DataFrame ecosystem in Julia [2] mostly stems from whether tables should

Thank you very much, I just did not want to stand as maintainer unless I ended up using it frequently and deeply appreciate that you “stepped up”. =)

Care to elaborate? I am fairly familiar with the “story” in terms of packaging binary dependencies for Julia, but I am struggling to put my finger on the problem you describe. BinDeps [1] which was the first stab at it was very much akin to
