I had it write an ansible job to enable a service with a specific name, and I got what I expected: something that looks correct a first glance, but with some subtle errors.

Disagree with your disagree. I understand there’s a recession and security people have to justify their salaries. The most secure system imaginable is for your users to shut their computers and go outside. If you can’t provide security with

What do you mean by “fundamental problems.” I’m using chrome right now, it works great, and there’s no better browser. I assure you they’re not embarrassed they didn’t write it in rust from the beginning and they’re not embarrassed to have

How many bugs should a software project have? You can’t justify a rewrite of working code because there might be bugs.

I’m not sure what you’d gain is worth the cost. What’s the cost in dollars and cents of SQLite cves over the past 20 years, and what would the cost be of rewriting that entire codebase? At some point you have to come to terms with the fact

We sure are all great on here aren’t we? Plaudits to everyone involved.

Irrelevant. You can get a full amino acid profile by combining plant based sources. It is basic high school biology that there’s less energy available the higher up on the food pyramid you go. Farming Lions for meat would be less economica

Meat is heavily subsidized.

Beyond is a world ahead of both of those. The actual problem is that they’re not as good as the impossible that Burger King has seen success with. Fake meat has gotten much better over the past few years, and there are still companies produ

Right. Op is saying an unsafe program that’s paying the bills and we can fix later is better than being a Rust evangelist on hn because your startup never got off the ground. Somewhere out there, a startup is writing a browser in pure safe

Why was the fact that it's not a production file system even brought up? Was it advertised as a production file system? Does the paper say that it is one? What was the rhetorical purpose of that statement?

What about all the free money you're leaving off the table in miles and cash back? I've had a credit card for about 3 years, and while it isn't much, I've never paid a dime in interest and I'm up roughly $800.

But solutions don't just fall out of the sky. Saying that technology will solve the problem risks a bystander effect, where nobody is packing, reducing emissions, or working on clean energy because of a belief that such effort is waste

We have that to. We even have post Mortem debugging. Did you know you can load a core dump into gdb? To me it seems like a new generation of developers is reinventing the wheel because they don’t know about what tools are available.

This is silly. That's like saying that speed limits don't work because everybody goes over them. Even if people don't 100% comply with standards, the fact that they exist reigns in peoples' behavior more so than if there

When I read code, I understand it, its intentions, and its output. I'm not simply replicating things that I've read before. I learned about inheritance in java in school. When I go to write python, I need only look up the syntax b

Could the derived work be created without the source?
