I'm sorry, but there are so many alternatives to spending your time on TikTok, more than ever, and more accessible than ever. Perhaps people do want to spend their time on TikTok, that's what freedom is. It is certainly addictive

There are several senses to "politics". You are right in that, in the general sense, politics is any collective negotiation of what matters to the group. There are objectively optimal ways to achieve a goal, but choosing what goal

Some details from the original post for context: They had a Railway token in an unrelated file (unclear if it was a local secret) for managing custom domains. It turns out that token has full admin access to Railway. The AI deleted a single

It would make sense to have an official default async runtime in the standard library while keeping the door open to use any other runtime, just like we already have for the heap allocator or reference counting garbage collection. There are

GDP is also an amalgam of various indicators of general economic activity: Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + (Exports - Imports). It might be all in dollars, but it is kinda like adding $X of Apples with $Y of Oranges. Its go

It's likely that there have been bottlenecks, where a single written version became the main common ancestor to copy from. Long after the oral tradition died down and other written versions were lost. Or because some patron decided to

Is that the meaning of “Third World”? As in East/West/Other? I always thought it was more about Developed/Developing/Undeveloped, mostly in terms of the industrial transition. But, if we are being honest, it’s used a lot

Here OP is implementing a full allocator and something close to a new abstract layer of virtual memory backed by vectors and addressed by offsets. For some use-cases, you will probably keep all dynamically allocated objects in this memory.

As far as I understand, memory safety goes well beyond undefined behavior. It’s a loose term including common pointer manipulation, allocation/deallocation and data-race issues. Other than UB, using indexes instead of pointers can be e

Frankly, it always feels a bit wrong to me to get around Rust's strictness for pointers by just replacing them with IDs/indexes/offsets into some collection. You can still have many of the same memory-safety issues as with po

Not sure if it's true that LSM trees are so dominant, it was a bit of a fad a few years ago during the NoSQL hype. They can be a good default for concurrent write-heavy workloads like analytics or logging, but they can be tricky to tun

It should have taken you to the mansion. Yes I agree that the game is unnecessarily obtuse, but the vibe-coded interpreter itself is rather buggy too. I've had several crashes, resets, and state corruptions. Sometimes it's a bit h

Well yes, that’s in a solid state. Lots of crystals have hexagonal structures since it’s the optimal packing distribution. If “structured water” just means that there are tiny ice crystals in water, sure that’s very plausible, but I doubt i
