   I don't understand US anti-trust enforcement protocol. Is this before or after anti-trust process? I think there will be more than one person against this.

   It’s just a shell that rents the name to whoever gives them the most, right? There is “atari NFT” and “atari blockchain casino”

   Actually agree. When I think of programming things I use the most, most of them have whimsical names that mean nothing. I mean, say, “grep” means… something with regular expressions I guess? But nobody cares. It’s just “grep”.

   I would love to know how that Coq stuff works, but I guess it’s way over my intellect.

   I think the main problem with SQL is how it tries to be too “human like” and “non-programmers friendly” with all the English words, when it’s still used by programmers in the end. I don’t see Malloy fixing it as it’s still using many Engli

   It’s cute and whimsical, sure. But it’s also generally useless. Imagine Siri/Cortana, but 100x worse, constantly interrupting whatever you are doing. (For what it’s worth, I always disable these assistants the first thing too. But Clip

   Yeah, the test suite is very very thorough.

   That’s absolutely not true. Bitcoin the app is often mixing several layers of abstractions and several usage patterns together. Is it for actually keeping track of money? Is it for APIs? is it for end users, or for servers? Is it CLI or a G

    They still try to document all the optimisations very thoroughly.

    I am definitely biased, but in general I like go source code? Meaning golang itself, and the standard library every time I am not fully sure what some function from golang std library does, I just click away to its source code and it’s quit

    On one hand, good for them! It seems like a fair company with no secret catch. On the other hand… each zoho product I have tried was “like some other thing, but worse”. All the products are basically fine, but not excellent. But again it ca

    For what it’s worth I love all S S Rajamouli movies I have seen. And like them or not, they are crazy successful. (I haven’t seen this one yet though)

    It’s a weird feature set to highlight; most of this is available for a long time. I didn’t know about the function signatures. It’s nice, I guess. But I don’t want to write perl again anyway.

    Fun fact about English royalty It’s technically easier for a muslim to become king/queen than for a Catholic. Catholics are the only ones who are banned by law to become English royals.

    yes Sure you can often get esims “sorted out”, but… why? What’s the upside? Having the physical one “just works”, and you can swap them or put them to different phone or whatever. No need to “download app” or do some registration dance. See

    I used to like them, but one time I wasted 15 minutes on trying to split → into - and > before I realised I have them on, so I hate them now too.

    AppleScript is a HORRIBLE language. It still gives me nightmares, as I needed to do something non-trivial there. In... I think Tiger days? Brrr. I liked the idea that all apps will be easily scriptable - lots of apps back then even exported

    go.mod IS a lockfile. go.mod will exactly tell you what version you have, always. * * that does not apply if your code is a library; then, other dependency of the "main" app can "update" your dependency. Which sometimes

    This is intended for students that go to Cambridge, of course. I thought that was obvious from the article?

    I have looked at Thinkpad x1 carbon, and they are so expensive! People complain about Apple Tax, but the x1 Carbon is so much more expensive for what it does.
