My point is, these reasons obviously didn’t hinder a possibility of making a full browser engine in C++ multiple independent times. But for Rust — they might be too big of an obstacle to make one. (Original discussion was about comparing qu

As far as I understood from my experience, there’s no way to upgrade your Luminus after you had started your project, you only upgrade individual libraries — so any further changes in the Luminus framework itself don’t affect your old proje

I think we will very soon start seeing a clear separation between programmers ("co-pilot operators") and software engineers (those who do the thinking and understanding when there's someone "who cares").

Ah, so it’s like sending a satoshi known to be involved in trading drugs, to make adversary’s account linked to illegal activity?

But you can just “taint” coins that are already on that known address, since you already know that the address belongs to the adversary. If I understand correctly, “dusting” is only useful for empty addresses, when you want to track who own

Would you please explain in a bit more details? What's the reason for sending tainted satoshis to non-empty address? Bitcoins on that address are already on a public ledger, so if I understand it correctly, you can just watch where the

Studies may have suggested something, does not mean they have proven that same thing. Also, "toxic memory impairing proteins" is some kind of hand-wavy journalistic clickbait and not actual science.

I've heard that Tiktok is for old farts who finished school, and young people use Likee nowadays.

I think it shows a lot of potential to turn TypeScript to what C++ has become.

I just got the horrifying image of a lead engineer who jumps onto a newest JS framework of the day because "it's exciting," but they're working on human bodies. Yeesh.

Developers boasting 300—500k total comps who are greedy to spend 100 bucks a year on their tools is freaking insane to me, man. How much does gas cost for truck drivers?

I didn't know his name until you wrote it here (I specifically abstained from looking it up), so to me you're the part of that NYT doxxing crowd who "upended his entire life".

From what I know about climate on Earth, it has literally never been in equilibrium — see periodic ice ages with glaciers up to 3—4 km thick, or periods of warmer climates when plants grew in huge amounts at latitudes where we have now vast

If I understand correctly, due to NAT we’re not limited by the number of computers vs available IP addresses, but rather by number of simultaneous connections vs (number of IPs) x (number of IP ports)

It could have saved us (unlikely though) from layers of lies upon lies on handling the pandemic, if we hadn’t started politicizing from the very start.

Imagine there’s a multi-billion dollar industry where some people record sound waves made with their vocal cords, and other people pay _real money_ monthly to have a chance to replay those waves for entertainment only.

If you’ve made software that is very useful for some people, should it be illegal to tell anybody about that, unless you’ve been specifically asked?

Good point. Also, in which color space the averaging is done, also strongly affects the results.

Git blame their signed commits. If no records available, chief engineer gets the blame. I mean, that should be trivially enforceable — same as getting to know who performed a botched surgery.

I wonder if jail time for developers knowingly implementing lax systems for exchanging personal data could help? This way most developers would refuse to write systems that could potentially get them in trouble, until their employer transpa
