I don't think any of this relates to the post it's replying to. I appreciate the totally failed attempt to psychoanalyze my emotions, though. If you think I'm 'confused, surprised, and angry', you don't seem to

None of the languages you mentioned support this 'eager_fallback' feature, no. I am not stuck on any one application of the feature (you'll notice I referred both to the individual application and the general feature, and t

If someone spouts untruths, that is a failing of theirs. Talking about how there's emotions of theirs that back this promulgation of untruths, emotions which you could understand if you tried, is putting the cart before the horse. Fir

Why is the guy being rigorous worthy of criticism, but the guys being idiots aren't? Did you post any similar calm-down comments in either of the HN threads on the original attacks?

In none of the languages you mentioned do stdlib functions either return an iterator or a list depending on whether you feed it into an iterator operation; in none of the languages you mentioned can a fully-generic return as a method receiv

You may notice no language on the planet does this. That is because it is bad. Type guesstimation is a great way of ensuring random problems crop up in random places where they aren't expected and of making the typechecker much slowe

In my experience working with newbies, the alterations Brown makes to the chapters on borrowing are strictly worse. It is entirely focused on ramming the difference between the stack and the heap down your throat, which has nothing to do wi

And then you look it up once, and now you know what it means forever. By contrast, the former expression is much wider with more going on, and furthermore you can't skim past it being sure nothing funny is going on because it may or m

By 2021, we'll have completely abandoned light switches. We'll just use an app on our phones to turn off the light in the bedroom, or perhaps request out loud for Alexa to do so. The future is the Internet of Things. I think this

Thank you for repeating yourself in exactly the way I was criticizing without really reading the criticisms. So, once more with feeling: Radicle does not offer the Cargo crate registry protocol. Radicle does not offer anything to do with cr

But after enough people run it, that disappears. They implement crowdsourced trust, because it isn't a rent extraction exercise but actual concern about malware.

This sounds completely made up. The medieval taxman has no idea how much gold you have squirreled away, and even finding everyone to tax them was hard enough. Most peasant taxes were based on productive land and observable yields thereof, a

Serious. And although 'seeing yourself as a customer' certainly makes things slightly better, I'm also referring just to the amount of cash that enters the coffers once it's no longer a tip jar per se. It is open source

America produces many things more valuable than the NFL, is the difference. LaLiga is presently the single most valuable brand in Spain. When e.g. Google asks low-polarization parts of the government for things, it frequently gets them.

The parent comment just says it'll perform similar to how past similarly-shaped things performed, without saying what that past performance is. If that implies pessimism, that's not HN's fault.

What's that supposed to mean? If I say `def foo(x)`, what autocomplete do I get off `x.`?

The standard complaint of pointless type errors that static type analysis would catch has nothing to do with weak typing, nor does the other one about unreliable listing of available ops in your editor by pressing `.` and looking at the aut

The context is that Jones blew up the court process every chance he got, setting a new record for contempt fining. The most important piece was refusing to comply with discovery (his lawyer was so bad-behaved here he ended up with a discipl

That is what the touchbar did. It doesn't take two steps. You motion like you're dragging the volume button and the slider appears under you, already being dragged.

Wow let me just never touch another piece of software whose developers suffered a layoff ever. That's what a trait of intelligence looks like.

Twitter has become a lot better since people who say truly insane things like this have left. What on earth does Twitter have to do with child pornography? What kind of misinformation have you been reading?

This very conveniently allows one to pick any actions they like regardless of stated goals or principles. There's very little it couldn't be used to apply to. "I'm principled but only when it's easy" isn't

Why am I supposed to care about that, as a platform user? Twitter isn't a jobs program for a particular set of engineers. I'll leave when it stops being entertaining. Comments like these are so weird.

How do you mean the risk profile is comparable, when ECDH is nearly guaranteed to be broken in five years and Kyber is two decades old? The two have nothing to do with each other, the ECDH component of a hybrid becomes worthless before yo

pin-project-lite is the only base dependency, which itself has no dependencies. If you enable the "full" feature, ie all optional doodads turned on (which you likely don't need), it's 17: bytes, cfg-if, errno, libc, mio,
