John Liebowitz wasn’t a political organizer. He was a mediocre comedian paid to tell low-info people how to think (and vote). I’m also astonished at how liberals, with full financial support of the world’s wealthiest people (you could count

I would think the financial risk for libel would be serious if it were true that the emails are fabrications and so made with intent to harm. Similarly, I would expect attorneys or all involved would be aware of this and were not sufficient

So if a guy murders your mom by burning her alive in her stolen car after savagely raping her, your number one concern is that he can see his family and live comfortably before his trial and sentencing? This kind of thinking is the dysfunct

A quick check of cargo-Geiger shows many hundreds of unsafe invocations in the dependencies of hyper. I think it’s hard to argue that some rust HTTP library is Irrefutably safer when you’ve thrown out so many of the static guarantees of the

I worked at a local TV station a while back, and I programmed the commercials. You would be surprised at how little those slots go for. Off prime time, a 15 or 30 second add spot might sell for a couple dollars. At night they’re only a few

Riots and vandalism in Portland weren’t organized? That’s a strange conclusion for a story (one of several) about men arrested for setting fire to forests. Given there has been no trials for the people arrested in the story, I don’t know wh

I didn’t think several months of riots in Portland, Kenosha, Atlanta, Washington D.C. and other cities had been debunked by such esteemed fact-checkers as snopes. There have been a number of people arrested for arson with regard to brush fi

Google effectively sells exactly this kind of information to commercial clients openly. That bothers me more than the information being used by police for public safety. Both are bad, but that I can directly market my snake oil to a 90 year

Curiously, I’ve never seen anyone in forums take this premise to its logical conclusion and advocate the use of a language which has a much more powerful type system than Rust does, like dependent or refinement types. Haskell, Scala, Idris,

You use F# because your use case requires .NET. You can’t write AutoDesk plugins in OCAML, or at least I’ve never heard of that happening. Sometimes you don’t actually have meaningful alternative programming languages for certain uses.

Given that most of the computationally expensive work in Python is usually offloaded to C extensions (and JIT compilation is an option with Python), is the cost savings in electricity that significant? A desktop PC probably only costs about

C and C++ articles are ignored, though, which is where most high-performance work is done. This isn't an optimization article that incidentally mentions Rust. It's a Rust-evangelism article that incidentally mentions optimization.
