Sure, sure. Innocent people have nothing to hide. I have never advocated vandalism. I do advocate for oversight.

Russia doesn't have foreign currency to buy gasoline. They have to refine their own oil.

We are only just starting to model the physical world. There will be more training on empirical data.

Flock is run by incompetants. Their systems are comically insecure and access is easily abused. And the amount of surveillance data they routinely collect is not small. There needed to be a lot more discuss of who is doing the surveillance,

Polymarket, Kalshi etc are festering piles of grift and should be regulated hard against a wall, no vaseline.

Yes, we switched from C98 to C11 and are about to adopt MISRA C 2023 (with exceptions).

> Languages with runtimes and dynamic types go all the way back to Lisp and Smalltalk. Java was the 800lb gorilla though, wasn't it? Because it promised portability. Why did Smalltalk not take off?

AFAIK PTX compilation is the bit that is not mature in the Rust CUDA ecosystem as well, because it has to be reverse engineered rather than simply translated.

I see. Similar to Balsamico di Modena / generic balsamic vinegar? Does non-PDO Parmesan exist in Italy? In the US, "Parmesan" is usually some kind of domestic hard cheese that lacks maturity. The genuine Parmigiano Reggiano c

It's a tool. Use it like a tool. It's not a substitute brain.

Yes. In contrast to Mozzarella, Champagne, and many others which are generic products in the USA, and protected trademarks in their region of origin. I didn't realise the trademark holder is a US company.

Solvair now make the real Dr Martens (in the UK)! The high street brand that owns the name makes all theirs in the far East. Check out Solvair if you can find them, they are better quality.

They are not knockoffs. Ugg boots are a generic product. The Australian manufacturer does not have exclusive rights to the design either.

I don't know really. My guess is that Zig cannot be considered mature until someone has written an application in it that contains a Lisp interpreter. I'm banking on Ghostty. Your move MH ;)

It seems like the history of programming languages since the 1980s has mostly been people trying to avoid C++. First languages with run-times and dynamic types, and more recently lower levels of abstraction (Go, Rust).

I've been writing C++ for embedded systems the past year or two. We use a very conservative subset of C++, almost like C with inheritance. We barely even use templates. We try to avoid allocating on the heap. The code is mostly imperat

I've been running a CUPS server on a Pi Zero W since 2017. I suppose I should back up the SD card. Back in the day I ran s××× coin miners off flash drives without any apparent problems. Teslas though... ;)

This question strikes me as somewhat obtuse, but I will attempt an answer: NVIDIA and AMD. These are only two GPU manufacturers of any significance. (Intel is also a player, but not a major one.) They supply SDKs (drivers and libraries requ

Lindy's Law says C will be around longer than any of that lot. Although I wouldn't bet against Rust now that it's used for Linux drivers.

Presumably the first step is changing the perception that US service providers are the only options. I dislike the term "sovereign software" because it collapses every aspect of the discussion. It is intentionally dumb, a slogan.

You are saying that "investment" only happens when you provide capital to a corporation. Presumably, under this definition, when you sell stock that is not "disinvestment". Unless you are selling it back to the company i

It seems to me that AI did SO in, not its moderation culture. SO is not a place to ask where to get your homework assignment done, that's for sure. The gamification does not necessarily reward the best content, but I didn't experi
