Your view even of human languages is simplistic. Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude, I'm just trying to explain. You might think that languages are just have different words for the same things. In reality the problems are where

Qualcomm is slightly bigger than ARM so it seems like a fair fight to me. Does Qualcomm police it's IP at all?

I half agree, but I've been to a few of these things and it's all somewhat debatable because you're not really supposed to touch, or there are millions of people and you can't just sit and enjoy, or you don't know e

There has to be a point where seeing things in the virtual world becomes "good enough" that we won't fly thousands of miles to do it. When I see some of the virtual reconstructions of Ancient Rome or Pompeii, I wonder if the

This is typical of software development projects - the "new" replacement wants to kill off the old one so cannot have any improvements happening to the old one. If the new ones are so great though ..... I suspect that quite a lot

If you want "just works" your more likely to get it with Ubuntu than Fedora. As for being unbearably slow .... there aren't a lot of ways for that to happen unless you're using absolutely the wrong graphics driver. A t

For new code you can use any language but we do have a lot of C code out there so it would be nice to have some ways to modernize it in, say 10 years, when those modernizations have made it out to every conceivable platform that runs the so

I think it becomes more and more interesting if that chip can sense things like how it is flexing or vibration or perhaps temperature. Then you might stick it onto things that you wanted to monitor

Obviously there's a huge technical change waiting in the wings because we don't need billions of dollars to make a human. Nor does a human need hundreds of kilowatts of electricity to think.

I like this because films have promoted a bullshit view of various aspects of life with the defense of "its entertainment" but I think a lot of us (including me) have believed bits of it because we have no contrary evidence. On a

great so we can stop wasting our time and let the bots waste cpu cycles generating and consuming junk. I don't want to read work that someone else couldn't be bothered to write.

The problem is that we haven't invented AI that reads the crap that other AIs produce - so the burden is now on the reader to make sense of whatever other people lazily generate.

It empowers people to create mountains of shit that they cannot distinguish from shit - so they are happy.

The way rail project costs are totalled up is different from one country to another -what costs are included and excluded. In other words this website is making enormous oversimplifications and not bothering to explain or justify them .

I think Python was successful because it started off without a type system and you can still choose not to use it. Duck typing is the big feature really. It might float your boat to think about types but why would everyone have to want the

Western countries don't always progress do they? One of them went full in reverse last century. Similarly with everywhere else. When westerners were painting their faces and living in mud huts the Chinese were far more civilised. If y

Steve Jobs - Iranian? Fatih and his wife Eren Ozmen (Sierra Nevada Corporation) are Turkish. Sergey Brin... Russian? Seems every time you try to make some fundamentally discriminatory point the definition has to keep expanding form e.g. B

arg0 also contains the path from where the invoker invoked the binary so for me this enables all sorts of binaries that work out where their dependencies are relative to their original binary. That's extremely convenient because you c

astgrep is a very useful tool when grep fails: https://ast-grep.github.io/ It's not as easy to use as grep but I think one can script it to be nearly so. It has huge power but without learning it all one can do searc

It just turns out the USA as it is wasn't created out of free will. Say whatever you like but the EU was.

Glass half full. No civil war was needed to keep the EU together. It lost a member without any bloodshed. It's exactly the kind of imperfection we admire when we compare democracies to China - less effective than central control but mo

Just that I was most often working on pre-existing projects like GNU Make. I can't force them to go for Objective-C. When I'm doing something on my own it's usually so small that it's not really worth it - something like

I still program in C at times and would love what Objective-C offers in it's place. C++? Not so much because, in essence, that is also a leaky abstraction where you have to care about even more issues. Static versus dynamic methods to

Another one I see is the insistent nitpicker who never accepts comments on their own PRs. FWIW: 1. Use a formatting tool and a linter in the build chain = zero formatting bullshit nitpicks. 2. Ask questions wherever possible rather than cri

As you say, it's worth knowing what shit can happen but that doesn't mean everyone in leadership is a sociopath or that it's unwise or losing to accept a paycheck. It can be unwise to start a business and lose all your money

We all accept some telling what to do - like the law, tax and so on. Ideally it's meant to be for the general good. So if some activity were to be negative for everyone - e.g. if it generated a lot of waste that was hard to handle and
