GVR called it a fork two weeks ago in his justification for not accepting it [1]. If that surprises you, the backstory is summarized pretty well in the article [2] and FAQ [3]. I'm really not trying to be secretive. We can debate whate

That's the way it's going. Discrete logic transistors fell out of use once integrated circuits became mainstream. Hand-solderable PCBs are next on the chopping block. Consider chiplets. The initial impetus for them was to improve

Literally, though it's hardly obvious. Language Transfer does a good job of presenting Romance languages as conceptually regular in a way that's helpful, at least for beginners. I forget the term, but there's a concept where

Conjugations are just compound words with improved efficiency. If anything, maybe they're too German.

It only takes a couple of minutes to educate yourself on this topic. After reading it, let me know if you still think they don't want to compromise. https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=214235

Someone who doesn't like Apple will use social media to tell people to buy up the chips so they'll get sued. Then someone will sue Apple or file a class action lawsuit. Nobody ever makes it through this line of questioning. Right

It's not like CPython is depriving anyone of GIL-free Python. IronPython and Jython are GIL-free. You can have it yesterday. CPython maintains Python's original purpose as a glue language. You know how much worse CPython would be

Sort of. I don't like the idea of mandating that companies sell replacement parts themselves. That's a new idea without any real precedent and it doesn't make sense. Imagine if that was the law. Apple could buy all of one kin

If they're priced reasonably, they'll be scalped. If not, what's the point?

by nunuvit 3y ago
The dismissiveness really goes the other way. Pythons like IronPython and Jython don't have a GIL. CPython does because it's primarily a glue language for extensions that might not be thread-safe. Web apps were given huge accommod

Seems like a half-baked idea. What would the rules be for maintaining stocks of replacement parts?

When the hardware keeps getting better, but the software is still slow for even the simplest things, you know they're cutting a lot of corners. Decades of CAD research and industry investment should have amounted to something more. The

I agree that Altium is the best for starting professionally. The very biggest and most complicated designs tend to move to Mentor because even Cadence eventually chokes. Simberean would be the one to develop a plugin, but they already have

Many of the ones you can find took no effort and are untested. A shitty script tried extracting information from a PDF datasheet or converting file formats for the purpose of driving internet traffic to an ad-riddled website. Many are low-e

I'm familiar with the statue and the criticisms, and I don't know of any revisionist arguments against it. Which of their reasons is revisionist? Sibling comment links to the Wikipedia article, which links to a news article, in ca

I've never heard a revisionist argument for taking down a statue. Which one(s) are you referring to?

I'm 100% opposed to telling people how to speak their language. I don't even like telling people who use English as a lingua franca how to use it in a culturally "correct" way. Normally, I'm outspoken against most

It's only "kind of" if they compensate for the reduced specs. As the root commenter said, they don't compensate yet. It's just less safe in those situations. Whether it's fine to be less safe in certain situati

If I understand you correctly, you think that statement is knocking utf-8. And if I understand the article correctly, it's not. Something here is incongruous, and it may very well be me. I believe the author is knocking how the C langu

HDF5 is more for storing and exchanging numerical simulation data. It doesn't have to be resilient to write failures because worst-case scenario you rerun the simulation or try again to copy the data into the file. SQLite writes are &q

I'm saying you're not worth talking to. Real people get annoyed at dismissive straw man arguments. You have no interest in understanding, and your lack of understanding doesn't hurt anyone, so we're done here.

The one potential requirement I'll caution you on is resilience against write failures, in case you're collecting time-series data and can't afford to lose a "session" or spend time messing with recovery options. HD

You're obviously not very current on this issue, and you don't have a personal stake in it, either.
