What in the Sam Hill? This is a new one on me. Does anyone have any reading for their logic of why?

It's wild to see an AI company put out a press release that is basically "hey, you kids wanna see a loaded gun?" Normally all their public coms are so full of optimism and salesmanship around the potential. They are fully a

I agree. I can't fit this on my hard drive. I've had this 386 for 30 years. Why should I have to upgrade it just for some text editor?

I never really liked theme parks. They are always noisy, crowded and tacky. When I was in high school we made a family trip to Dollywood on the way to somewhere else. The fact that I remember Dollywood but don't remember our intende

This comment thread is on an article about how Mongo applies TLA+ models to an implementation. They talk about how they use the model to generate test cases for the application. There are fair criticisms of formal modeling, but that they

I recently took some training on TLA+. I loved the concepts of it. It seems amazingly powerful for prototyping and proving out algorithms/architectures. A big concern of mine was testing models vs implementation and managing the drif

That shows a misunderstanding of what EEE was. This team was sending changes upstream which is the exact opposite of "extend" step of the strategy. The idea of "extend" was to add propriety extensions on top of an open

One of the defining characteristics of this crop of alt-right, populist nutters is disdain for experts. Doesn't work so well when they need legal or medical advice.

They directly say what they mean in the article > The company’s inability to maintain app performance without advertising for even a single day demonstrates the fragility of its market position.

That's wild. I checked my inbox and they are definitely in there with the regular scrum of sales drones sending spam. I wonder what happened and I wonder how I can do the same.

You are spot on. I was loose with my terms. I was thinking safe in the concept of sandboxing the host, but you are spot on, it isn't memory safe.

I'm really excite about this! I've got hopes that WASM/WASI will grow into the dream of the JVM from the 90s. A memory-safe target for development that allows easy of porting and testing across multiple platforms. WASM can

I think that's a great point. There is a place for outsourcing. Some projects and organizations are well suited for it. Some projects end up only using outsourcing at supplementing some parts of the work. Some can't do it for

1.3% isn't great. I'd rather just go, and pay, directly to trusted news sources. Everyone has different tolerance for falsehoods and priorities I guess.
