Java-the-language blows, but Kotlin does not, and Java-the-platform is on the Pareto frontier of oldest-yet-most-usable open-source ecosystems. I prefer Rust, and the gaps where it doesn't apply, C# fits my use cases better, but Kotlin

It has been in the language for fourteen years. What would be the purpose of changing it? And what else would ! in the type position signify?

It's used to do all sorts of things. Rust version probing, bindings generation, precompiling bundled data, etc. The only reason it isn't used to do more is because proc macros do it instead, with an essentially identical execution

You can disable rust-analyzer running build scripts.

ABI stability is significantly different in a VM language to a native language, and reified generics necessarily require source compilation. Binary-only development for Rust would be exactly as 'sort of not really' as C++, for exa

Platform support is a non-issue for every library being discussed. This is an array construction macro, it has nothing to do with what operating system you're running on.

Oh is that why? Thank you! This saw me downgrade to Opus 4.8 for the past several days. I had no idea where it was coming from.

The law does not say 'reasonably expected', it says 'strictly necessary'.

by pie_flavor 1mo ago
That's not what various references (and AIs) say. Strictly necessary means strictly necessary. They didn't bother defining it in the law. However, user preferences were called out specifically in the WP29 opinion as something that

The law does not say 'tracking'. It says 'strictly necessary'. If you remember the user's light/dark theme preference in a cookie, that requires notification. (Or rather, what it requires in practice is that yo

It is not proof of collusion that they abandoned bespoke hardware right as consumer hardware was getting good. That is exactly when you want to abandon bespoke hardware. It is not proof of collusion that neither one lowered prices for the c

If you put numbers on a package, the consumer will choose the bigger numbers. Taking some statistic out of context like "the typical consumer does not take reasonable account of product longevity" doesn't make sense when the

Claude is a next-token predictor, appending to a long text document. Prompts aren't an independent kind of thing from policy documents. It's all text in the backscroll.

It doesn't need embedding. But if it did, cpython is trivial to embed, and beats starlark in that it already has all the features your users (and Claude) know about.

Plugins and IPC do not replace configuration, though configuration may invoke or enable plugins.

It is good to keep a configuration simple enough that it doesn't need to be a programming language. The absolute moment you find yourself thinking of putting conditional logic, or string substitution, or anything like that, in your pur

You can easily compare to the figures for other games that are also on GamePass. Another Crab's Treasure, for example, had 4.7k Steam players on launch, of a similar nicheness stratum.

There are also many challenges to implementing an original TCP library.

It's not very complicated to import the QUIC library, or to import the HTTP library with HTTP/3 supported. For the library authors, QUIC isn't more complicated to implement than TCP. Doomsaying about the complexity of Google

What are you talking about? The point of WASI is to stabilize WASM's access to OS APIs. It uses the component model to do this, which is bound to by languages that compile to WASM and by runtimes that run WASM. That is the only kind of

We evaluated Extism and concluded that it did basically nothing that WASI and the component model didn't already do out of the box. Was your experience different?

by pie_flavor 4mo ago
WASI is the best format for code submitted by users, entirely untrusted, which is in principle of any complexity but expected to be pretty simple. It works on any platform, in any environment, with extreme and direct control over its access

The present component model is "simple and stable". It is presently providing "interoperability between different ecosystems" and has been for years. It has basically nothing in common with CORBA. All the major problems
