I thought "statically linked" just meant that all of the dependency binaries were rolled into the main executable at build time - how could macOS even stop you doing that? I assume my understanding of static linking is too simplis

I think you kinda have a point when it's one physical location presenting itself as multiple different options whose food would never belong on the same menu together at a dine in restaurant in the first place. Where I think it's

What? Hotel restaurants have always convincingly appeared to people as 20 different restaurants while operating at the same physical location? A place serving a lot of different types of food is not the same thing, it's still one resta

Do many adults watch old episodes of Sesame Street? I can't imagine the actual target demographic of Sesame Street caring that much (or even knowing) about whether there are a couple hundred episodes missing when there's still hun

Yeah, you can't exactly adjust a no longer used currency for inflation - it makes sense to me.

Automatically cleaning streets is a much harder problem than generating images. There might just be no dedicated work being done on it currently because it isn't a solvable problem given the current state of the art.

I assume part of the problem is the physical distance from the CPU hard limiting speed due to the speed of light. 3d stacking of memory might enable a design with a large enough stack close enough to the CPU? I don't really know what I

Isn't the main reason just that failures in the vast majority of software aren't that bad? Like if you build a bad house it could collapse and kill someone. If you build a bad calendar app/email client/text editor it mig

In the context of type definitions, strings aren't really regular bare strings. I.e. if I write type foo = { bar: "Vodka" } I'm guaranteeing that the value of 'bar' on any object of that type mus

I feel the same way. Gnome 3 feels great as a keyboard first power user, it feels great with a laptop touchpad and using single, double, triple finger swipes for different things. Presumably it works pretty well on touchscreen devices too.
