I'd have no problems enforcing laws about illegal immigrants if they actually bothered to check and not just deport random brown people even if they're citizens.

Notably, C++ and similar languages don't support lexical `finally` at all, instead relying on destructors, which are a function and obviously cannot affect the control flow of their caller ... except by throwing exceptions, which is

What about throwing an exception from the finally clause?

If people can't make a good (PR, story, or whatever) without AI, they certainly can't do it with AI, because using the AI is strictly more difficult - it requires all the original skill, plus the skill to work around the AI&#x27

"No liability" already mostly only applies to defective products, not harmful ones. The only industry with a broad "no liability for torts" is gun manufacturing.

More like "fundamentally impossible". Even ignoring the limited colorspaces due to choices of primary (i.e. the fact that no laser's color can be emitted by a screen), and assuming you calibrate your "white" (most s

If it doesn't matter to you, then whatever you are creating has no value to society, and is in fact likely net-negative. We're seeing it all over: curation has become much harder since the slopfest began.

Hmm, after several seconds it gave up and displayed raw markup ... I'm not sure exactly why in this case, but ... One of the major infelicities of the web is that CSS is specified to ignore truncation, and there is no way to fix this

Unfortunately for right now, KDE has recently released major version 6, which is also about as stable as Windows (meaning, very not). This is reminiscent of the KDE 4 transition and much worse than the KDE 5 one. For example, half the tim

I don't care about ligatures, just symmetry.

This, like many fonts, fails to handle vertical arrows: | ^ v | Note that the raised appearance of `^` exists for compatibility with typewriters that use the backspace key to use it as a circumflex accent over lowercase lette

The second link is paywalled, but from the various sources I looked at, the diversity problems with Valve seem limited to "Valve refuses to spend company time/effort to support my cause". I have not seen any concrete claims

Even with Javascript, there should only be a 10x performance penalty at worst, and getting to 2x penalty is feasible. We do need to scale based on screen size though - copying pixels around is expensive. But a low-end machine from 10 year

Those are arrays of integers, not of bytes. Most bytes are character-ish, which only python2's bytes acknowledged. Additionally, python2 supported a much richer set of operations on its bytes type than python3 does.

That would be meaningful if there were ever any enforcement.

It's hard for me to take this article seriously when it uses so many words but never once mentions "priority queue", and only mentions "heap" as an (copy-pasted) aside. Most people should use that instead. This is

Whether the license is revokable or not is irrelevant when the action isn't permitted by the license anyway. In particular, the primary purpose of AI as we know it is to strip off attribution, which is explicitly forbidden by basically

In particular, "the content is useful" is not a checkbox. "The content is produced by this technology" is , and overwriting hand-curated content is an obvious action.

I've said this before and have said it again: Python3 got rid of the wrong string type. With `bytes` it was obvious that byte length was not the same as $whatever length, and that was really the only semi-common bug (and was mostly l

When OpenAI is done getting rid of all the cases where its AI gives dangerously wrong advice about licensed professions, all that will be left is the cases where its AI gives dangerously wrong advice about unlicensed professions.

C++ modules solve exactly one of the problems - the "one pch limit" one - at the cost of introducing several more. Certainly they are not more compiler-independent!

At all. Clang has a lot of footguns, and filing bugs about "regression compared to GCC" does not actually get them fixed. Remember, the whole point of Clang is so that people can make their proprietary compiler forks. Everything

You can use ::ffff:127.0.0.2 for most purposes, but you can't ping it.
