How about former NASA engineer Charles Camarda? Linked from the article: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ddi792xdfNXcBwF8qpDUxmZz...

The OP links a document from former astronaut Charles Camarda, who NASA explicitly invited in to check their work, and who observed the press conference the Ars article comes from. He addresses every point in it, including that one. Just be

Rust libraries are infrequently used outside of Rust because if you have the option, you'd just use Rust, not the ancient featureless language intrinsically responsible for 70% of all security issues. C libraries are infrequently used

'Only the educated elite should be permitted to use technology' is a great take, but unfortunately the peons outvote and outspend you, so their opinions matter more than yours.

You just cat the exe with the zip file, then it is all loaded into memory at the same time on process init. This is how e.g. LÖVE does game code packaging. (It can't be tar, because this trick only works because the PKZIP descriptor is

You have described every single regulatory problem anyone has ever complained about in the FDA: the default state is denial, and positive action is needed to carve permitted things out of it. If this is a categorical exemption to 'the

No, it's a cliche because it's false and/or just rephrased alarmism. Most regulations are changes made to solve no problem, simply because someone thought it was a good idea, or because they were vaguely related to a Current

Oldheads are not the exclusive group of people who have ever meant actual altruism by their open-source licenses. You can't just pick an attribute to dismiss an opinion based on. Creative control over the lineage of a line of code is j

The first rocket may take off sooner than 2040. But Starlink is not just a rocket, it is a complete business process , with a launch regularity and price. A Starlink satellite's worth of space on a Falcon 9 costs 500k-750k. With about

It's referring to memory cards. This is the Triforce feature, almost every game on it uses cards for savegames. The arcades you're thinking of almost certainly had a version of Mario Kart Arcade GP - you may just not have played

While no fan of AI slop, is there any difference between this and musl/busybox/etc, minus the addition of AI? Did anyone get mad at busybox before AI?

I am a longtime Windows user and it brings me absolutely no joy to report that the M4 I am forced to use for work runs the Rust compiler a good bit faster than the big fancy gaming PC I just got with a 9800X3D.

Everyone compares Go to Rust. This AI-generated slop mentions Rust at the top, then launches into an explanation of how Go is not like Zig, where Rust is also not like Zig, but instead is extremely like Go. This answers no questions at all

If you hear a name in an internet argument, and want to know who that person is, and one site is more likely than the other to contain it, that site is definitionally the better encyclopedia in the moment. If you arbitrarily define notabili

Other, much dumber nutrition cranks like Anthony William and Gary Null have Wikipedia pages. Fundamentally, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to be the place that you go to when you hear a concept and want to look up what it is.

I've found in at least two instances Grokipedia had something Wikipedia didn't. One was looking up who "Ray Peat" was after encountering it on Twitter. Grok was obviously a bit more fawning over this right-aligned figure

If by illegal you mean a spelled-out loophole that the EPA only decided they didn't like in retrospect. Businesses are run by people that think this is a level of forward-thinking-ness that they aspire to, not something to be avoided.

For those who do not know, Adams was still putting up daily Dilbert strips, just for paid subs on Twitter instead of in a newspaper. I think it's impressive he didn't stop until the end, even though AIUI he was in serious pain for

Two very similar things are presented as though they are different (go.mod and lockfiles, not go.sum) for the purpose of sneering at one of them, when both are essentially the same. 'Ignored by downstream dependents' is not any le

Rust is not‡ dynamically linked. The whole tree is compiled from source every time. The same compiler compiles all editions of the language together, and it is exactly the same as py3 interpreting a py2 script and allowing a py3 script to c
