One thing that people say is that "Rust frontloads your problems". C++ might be a bit easier to get your head around to start with, but as the complexity of what you're building grows you will discover the 'joy' of

Is the lack of check-marks here your suggestion that this is actually something of significance? That was my (cautious) reading. Assuming that it doesn't fall foul of the last one "your claims are lies" it seems to be a step

My view is that iteration of the core design is equally important to the the iteration that's done on the rest of it. The difference is that each 'product' in a field is a new iteration on the core design. This is what makes

I don't think the paradigm needs to change, I think the UI does (although I'm admittedly not clear what should be different). To me the proof that the paradigm is good and it's a 'just' a UI problem is MS Teams. Tea

By "threads" in MS teams, do you mean what they call a "conversation" in a normal channel? How do they not get used - people just 'start a new conversation' for every reply? We get basically perfect usage of th

We're talking engineering here not physics. It doesn't have to be a radical new concept for it to be interesting and useful. Across many fields, new applications of existing concepts have proven revolutionary and disruptive.

In free flight, two aircraft can be anywhere in 3D space and collisions are rare. Around takeoff and landing - there is effectively a 1D track for the approach and the climb-out. It's not quite that simple because different aircraft wi

I need to spend more time trying other things - I got bored of distro hopping years ago when I discovered that Fedora would mostly Just Work. One thing I will say is that it's not just down to the desktop - all the main pieces need to

It's a bit like saying "it's significantly less work to just fix the bugs than write unit tests". There are always bugs (leaks) and potential for bugs (leaks), some effort in both directions is usually a better use of ti

That wasn't my read. My read was that they go off independently based on their own conditions (the large pump has a float switch that presumably isn't set off until after the small pump should have taken care of it) and the moni

It is possible, but would be an interesting co-incidence. More anecdotal evidence, but Elixir has an easier time with adoption that Erlang and a big part of that reason is syntax. It's superficial, you get past it quickly, but it'

@lpil - What's the status of OTP interop? Seamless integration of Gleam GenServers (for instance) into an Elixir/Erlang supervisor tree would be important for usage on most projects (particularly if you want to do incremental adop

Yes - I get the same (good) performance as Windows on multiple Linux machines. I'm running Fedora which may help, but I had to do no fiddling - just worked 'out of the box'.

More up to date kernel (and associated bits) means usually the best support for hardware (e.g. Fedora is usually faultless on Lenovo laptops, unless you have GPU problems). More up to date and more vanilla Gnome means that you've got t

The logic behind "innocent until proven guilty" is that one false positive is worse than ten false negatives. The principle is that freedom is such a basic right that removing it unjustly is a crime in itself.

The BEAM runs on a variety of targets from your superscalar out-of-order targets like x64 down to much more embedded things. This may affect the performance tradeoffs.

Previously, if a USB device was plugged in it then it might work or it might not work and the kernel had to sanely handle both of those cases. The shift is that now the kernel has to handle that USB device actively trying to do something ne

You inevitably need to fundraise for something, because it's the emotive stuff that helps you fundraise. You can be careful about your fundraising though to make sure that it isn't quite as restrictive as it needs to be. My favo
