To surmise from your article: * "It gets in the way. If I open my article in a text editor, I want to see the title, author, abstract and first paragraph." * You feel forced to use it. " One idiot reviewer told me, as a suppo

Namespaces and constraints. The first (namespaces) contrast speed (brevity) and specificity (verbosity). Namespacing (long names) are great when you don't have a good idea the full scope - putting your library in namespace means you ge

Didn't you say with quarto you had to debug a 5 layer pipeline? I wonder if it's not biasing you here a bit...(stuck fighting "arcane" latex syntax somewhere at 3 in the morning). I'm not saying you should love TeX,

Is Lyx still around? I remember it had good defaults. Haven't used in ages and it had some installer issues but I got fairly comfortable writing latex papers without learning a ton of latex... Ofc that was a major downside, something o

You should research what happened with distros and UI systems...open source was building lots of nice UIs and you could even have them on Windows/Mac, but the was constant drama over the "right" way to code a UI framework...w

I think the main benefit would be to be able to represent yourself in court... otherwise there currently exist certain pratical and ethical hurdles to capitalizing into this, such as passing a bar exam (non-trivial), providing credentials,

Git is popular because it's linear, and the linear paradigm usually translates well to serial things such as programs, instructions, document sets, etc. It's actually bad at non-linear stuff, which you will have noticed if you hav

As I don't use them, I wonder if you can combine the two? So that every source is contained and each destination is contained as well. Might get a bit annoying with somethings, but.

Hmm, I think its the same problem, you are somewhat arbitrarily drawing the line between "math" and the universe (or maybe I'm agreeing with you and don't realize it). A halting/decide-able problem is one that is pr

Computational capacity must not be able to travel faster than the speed of light, yes? We are told that quantum entanglement cannot transmit information, I am unaware of how rigorously this has been proven/disproven, on the off chance

In context of parent post, I wonder if people realize github is not where git things come from... "if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine" I'm not a

Ok, I sort of get your objection, but "if the mechanism is really completely different from invisible matter", that doesn't seem to be true? I'm not a physicist, but the explanation I'd heard was that something appe

I find this attitude against dark matter frankly baffling...without positing what it is your argument reads somewhat like "well night technically has all these things in it so dark nights don't exist". Screams of tortured tau

Switching to a build system like Bazel can be a significant cost, though. There's no easy solution to making your builds go faster, if they aren't already. There's hardwork and artifact management (dependency hell). Unless yo

Yeah, the faster but is also a bit of a non-seller, they have to integrate the world/deal with bad build times that can't easily be parallelized (what if there are no modular dependencies, that your tool can understand?) except by

"and the post is completely lacking in concrete analysis." I do agree here, but I think it's telling that the rust solution is, without analysis, just better. Is this the best developer or best case study? Perhaps not, but it

by smaudet 3y ago
I'm inclined to agree - when there's a simple solution (easier more reliable language), use it, the right answer is not "oh you are doing it wrong just follow these contortions and you'll be fine". Maybe your langua

Right, but nobody takes anything, the sticking point is the copyrighted content. Unless someone tries claim you are stealing electric current, this claim of theft is absurd - first you must attach a device to the cable, then spend your time

False dichotomy, corporations are another (somewhat powerful entity). They don't tend to use direct force either, but there are private militias...defending yourself from a gang or haywire corp is also an important thing. People like t

Not only are you wrong, I had the opposite experience - whether was all well and good for downloading pages, but it fell over for making e.g. authenticated POST requests. I think that might be possible now/have gotten better, but wget

While I do think proof constructed code could be superior, I am not convinced for two reasons: 1. The problem expressed here has to do with a particular, well understood problem. It is not subject to the whims or constraint needs of the &qu

The analogy is not apt. In most cases the victims were not aware, meaning they still had ample use of their proverbial property. This is in fact the normally desired state of malware, to act like a pest or a leech - your estate suffers but

Scrum was a (failed) attempt to get companies to think outside the box. For a variety of reasons, it doesn't really work and you can't fix bad management process with it. You can't save a company with scrum. What you might be

I think even a tier-1 team could make it work for them, but the key is they would make it work for them (make it their own process). Once you hire a scrum master to tell you how to do your work, you've sort of lost. They are rarely use
