Not really a useful comparison, given Blade Runner was shot on film, and film is a high-resolution medium.

This isn't one of those cases. This isn't a Xerox, Hoover, or even Google situation. Simple reference of a trademark is allowed. What holders need to guard against is dilution and generification within the applicable domain.

That's not what a microkernel is. A microkernel is a kernel that pushes services traditionally included in the kernel, such as networking, out into userspace. The closest things to what you're describing are unikernels and NetBSD

I expect that now that things are settling down around pyproject.yaml, Python's tooling will settle down. I've been settling on Hatch for most projects rather than using Poetry these days and Flit for smaller projects. It's m

PHP doesn't have the same constraints around it as Python. With Python, you have long-running threads of execution, while this is rarely the case in PHP. PHP has no shared state outside of the interpreter, so it's inherently GIL-l

Yes, it's the literal origin of the term, but not the way you've posited. The term came out of the Protestant Reformation. Within some schools of Protestantism, followers of Scotism were viewed as being slavish to Fund Scotis&#x27

It's done in Ireland too, and I would assume anywhere rhubarb is grown, given it's the one of the most trivial ways to turn it into a treat.

Not at all. I often have to slurp in large amounts of data to be processed in some way. If you don't want to use huge amounts of memory for doing so, you either need to (a) write some horribly obtuse code or (b) use coroutines. Corouti

There's no colouring here. These are synchronous coroutines.

by talideon 3y ago
Coroutines and goroutines fill different niches. The latter already fill the niche the likes of Twisted fill. There's nothing here trying to pull anything akin to async/await into Go. Coroutines will fill a different nice more aki

GraphQL is orthogonal to REST. GraphQL is a query interface, nothing more. Now, if you (incorrectly) conflate HTTP and REST, I can see how you'd make this mistake given the limits on URL length, but even then there's absolutely no

What Vinge didn't anticipate is everybody just rewriting everything in Rust. :-)

Describing DNSSEC as brittle is the height of understatement.

They did kill a whole bunch of things... like the ability to rent at a reasonable rate and the ability to get a mortgage that doesn't lean heavily on the 'mort' part.

> As long as you don’t need to consume feeds, just use atom. Nah, you should just use Atom. The only vaguely good reason to use RSS is spotty Atom support in podcast apps. So, better formulation: only bother with RSS if you're a pod

Atom is not a magnitude more complex or strict. It has _two_ places where it requires something even slightly onerous, and that's in the summary and content elements, where, shockingly, it allows you to specify if the content is XHTML,

That's part of it. The other part is that Dave Winer can't write a proper specification to save his life.

RSS 0.9 has little to do with what Dave Winer produced subsequently.

by talideon 3y ago
The craziest thing I see though is people importing the Atom namespace into RSS feeds to get some of the elements. At that point, I can't fathom what advantages there is to the producer to not just produce an Atom feed. RSS 1.0 was bas

I don't think you quite understand what the word "government" means. Here's a hint though, albeit at the risk of committing the etymological fallacy: the word "government" comes from the Greek "kubernétés&

The _right_ way to treat them as normal values is by using sum types . So no, Go's error handling isn't at all good. 1.13 might've made them less execrable, but it didn't make it good.

There was just so much nonsense back in the day around Go's error handling and about how it was so much more straightforward than adding exceptions to the language. In reality, the only reason why errors in Go work the way they do is t

The problem here isn't that Perl is a dynamically typed languages but because it uses pass-by-value semantics to an almost absurd degree. This is why it needs explicit references in the first place where as most other languages these e
