How can it reverse time? Does it record a stack of every decision point?

Pretty much no software, even when run deterministically, is bijective. There are almost always cases where two different states map to the same state. How does this tooling deal with that?

I don’t think google’s problem is a necessary outcome of relying on engineers for the glue and project planning/management. In fact, Google does not do that. They’re full of glue people.

I think they are correct. I’d say it’s easy to work all your life in the shadow in the cave and never realize that you can do everything yourself. You don’t need “glue” people or project managers.

That code exists for calculating those things does not mean there are timekeeping standards that support them.

Uh, why is this not a compile error? I’d expect the string to be concatonated, which would result in an invalid program.

Doesn’t creating a raw socket need elevated permissions?

This is worth reading, but the anti-AI theme doesn’t really fit and I’m not sure why they added it.

station keeping is definitely possible. each craft could use its comms laser for impulse

You are thinking about threads, not coroutines. Coroutines are not “heavy” and have nothing to do with concurrency or locking.

This is exactly right.

Overflow is perfectly well defined in most languages. What could it be other than a signal?
43.
by nynx 3y ago
I write software for spacecraft. I’d much rather take my chances that the overflowed value is meant for humans or for some tertiary system than to end the mission regardless.

by nynx 3y ago
Who said overflow was wrong? The sort of code I work on has to continue running, no matter what. Continuing on is always better than crashing, at least in my context. It’s also basically impossible to establish invariants about a system for

Please no. A process dying automatically and immediately dying because of an arithmetic overflow would be terrible.

This looks very restrained. Well done!

Framebuffers aren’t really a useful abstraction anymore. They can be implemented on top of webgpu anyway.

The power is so high so that the probes can be accelerated up to 20% of the speed of light while still in the solar system. The array does not run for long periods of time.

It’s a rehashing because it misses the point that we’re not going back to the moon just to say we can do it. We’re going back to stay, to mine, to live there. Just swapping to an updated version of the LEM gets us nowhere and we would learn

That’s a bug in the allocator. Realloc should not grab a lock the entire time.

Mind control is the last thing elon would want brought into the world. You are purposely misinterpreting his statements.

People use Arc and Rc all the time, which would need +?Leak annotations. Things like Option would, I think, also need + ?Move + ?Leak annotations.
56.
by nynx 3y ago
I’m actually glad the Move and Leak didn’t get in. They both have fairly niche usecases but they’d have to be spattered all over basically all rust code.

You’re complaining that something else is copyable.

disappointed you can’t provide a onehot integer to do single bit futexes

This is a great usecase for webassembly.
