That's what i would expect from someone trying to kill the economy - prop it up for longer than normal, making the recessions greater than normal. I'd compare it to forest fires. They should be frequent and small. Make them less f

I really like the idea of a constrained language for UI declarations, like the angularJS/vue templates and XML instead of UI in code. It makes generating test code for the UIs tractable. Here's my take on what's possible for

I feel like this is somewhat close to the Goat Simulator. In that case, this will likely join my list of fun, but pretty odd games: * The Stanley Parable * The Goat Simulator * I am Bread * Starwhals * Octodad

Does Tup do more than C? Firefox needs to build some Rust things too.

This reminds me of a quip relating to evaluating the morality of historical figures (e.g. whether they were basically good or basically bad) - you're a tourist. You're evaluating someone in an entirely different culture. So like y

Nah, you can totally have sales without a product - it's just not very sustainable. It's a little tongue in cheek, but I think illustrates a real perspective - improving a product doesnt necessarily extract more revenue from exist

Not the downvoter, but... I dont think this comment should be here on this post. The only tie-in is layout. It should be a show in instead.

He chose not to think about the decision by just rolling with it. Alternatives, off the top of my head: * Fire people? * Do a cost-benefit analysis - could they sustain a new space? Or would they have to move everyone to somewhere cheaper?

Or you could be awake with your infant. I'm pretty sure both my infant and I sleep a lot better when we're in different rooms. But yeah, that's a sort of creepy photo.

I think it's the standard https://readthedocs.org/ standard. It's definitely not custom. I've seen many projects with it. Edit: Seems to be linked to the doc tool called Sphinx.

I instead hope that parents start teaching it to children. While my online decorum has major room for improvements, I feel like I'm pretty conscientious in my in person interactions and gained a lot of that through explicit instruction

Ha ha, yeah. It's painfully obvious in retrospect. We had it for a couple of years before I even thought of the legitimacy of it... and even then I didnt realize it until after linking it here.

My Dad first saw "Howl's Moving Castle" subbed, then dubbed. he said he could connect to the dubbed a lot better. He also found it surprising that Billy Crystal was Calcifer.

You can still do it automatically for a majority of voters though. Having to register should be the exception, not the norm.

True. I'd hope future implementations are very explicit about what operations are allowable (for example, globs for files in allowed inputs/outputs), such that you still have an easier time testing.

I would say precompiled proc macros via wasm narrows that hole - since it can't access any outside source, it becomes deterministic and greatly simplifies testing it for malicous output.

So the initial implementation doesn't allow any inputs/outputs besides the tokenstreams, but some proc macros do access the filesystem. There's definitely more exploration to be done both with proc macros, and the general bui

They worry with good cause. We worry about bugs where I work, and they still make it through somehow. Worrying about them doesn't prevent them. See also, Knight Capital: https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/08/02

Hmmm... I both agree and disagree. While humans program the general strategy, and even the bugs they didn't think they were adding, there is a substantial difference: computers can and will act in such a completely stupid way as to be
