And this is just the simple obfuscation case... I can easily imagine where we simply disable eval completely, (except in specific scenarios perhaps). At it's core the issue is dynamism itself. I don't think it should be forsaken

I think the fact the rebuttal has to be a random lengthy comment on the internet says it all - Jetpack Compose documentation is a bit garbage. Old style android docs were more complete.

How is it bunk? If, say, arsenic is part of your extraction process of a non-petroleum based chemical, how is that safe? That may be the extreme example, but there are many processes that involve processing chemicals without any "petro

"delete" doesn't mean delete anymore, like you say, there are always audit logs, and there is "soft" deleting. Expect any claims that things are being deleted to be a bold faced lie.

An article over, these claims are exaggerated - they have dumped the tinycc compiler, not written one from scratch.

I agree we don't have much to (physically) fear from it...yet. But the people who can't take "no" for an answer and don't get that it is fundamentally non-human, I can believe they are quite dangerous.

The article smacks of someone who doesn't understand version control at all... Their main idea is to version control the reasoning, which, OK, cool. They want to graph the reasoning and requirements, sounds nice, but there are graph la

Hybrids are even better, super tiny batteries with an ICE on standby. If you scale size as well (like a motorcycle but e.g. as a tricycle for safety), you can realize some major efficiency improvements (doubling or tripling energy efficienc

Dairy/Meat are both inflammatory and overconsumption contributes to a whole host of medical disease. Some protein is obviously desirable, but the ratios, like anything else in chemistry/biology, are paramount. I don't think t

No. What will actually happen, likely, is a complete death of writing. Not just that the craft is gone, but that art is gone. What is the point of creating anything if it has no meaning? And likewise, there is no economic value to it either

This is why I have yet to use AI, and will probably never. It's either taking away the most important (or rewarding) thing I need to do (think) and just causing me more work, or it has replaced me. AI. Is. Not. Useful.

I think when there's overblown criticism (does not take into account the positive things, seeks only to paint in a negative light), that's pretty clearly FUD. Moreover, when there's a pattern of it occurring, for at least t

by smaudet 10mo ago
There may not be "a solution", but recognizing FUD for what it is, is a part of the "whole" solution. If you don't have something to contribute (like a direction, suggestion, correction), then as they used to say, y

Not at all. To clarify, saying something is "over", without really saying what your plan is, is low effort. "This is a problem, and here is what I/we should do", takes a bit more effort. Firefox is still open source

Not at all. If you want or need a feature it's not some "my browser has to support it or my OS does" dichotomy. As a couple parents up stated, there's no technical reason a browser has to have a transformer embedded into

I think the focus on the state machine may be the problem. I don't know much about prolog, or why it doesn't really enjoy more status in the programming world, but I suspect that while it is good at repesenting states, it is not v
