From that article: "The real question is, does Hare have an[y] business existing when Zig and Myrddin already exist?" Why do people question whether something such as a programming language has business existing? Do they believe i

Would be fun to have demoscene competitions restricted to that hardware.

The TX-6 is aimed at people who own the other TE stuff which is 3.5mm. If you're looking for a solid audio interface, consider RME or Apogee.

Who else read BS terms like "self-development" and "inner work" and had to hold down the vomit? Who talks like that?

I've got a little Rust GUI library that's pretty young, and relatively simple, so maybe fun to contribute to: https://github.com/audulus/rui :)

It’s not a problem for the typical C programmer, it’s a problem for the person writing anything that parses C. And it’s not the only issue.

How does the existence of another programming language cause a lot of work and unnecessary problems? Like, the existence of, say, Zig, which I haven’t used, hasn’t seemed to cause anyone any problems.

Ok so K&R style is going to be removed (good!) as others have pointed out. The compiler could provide a tool to automatically update the function signatures, making it relatively easy to update legacy code. Also, it seems to me that any

I find the notion of “how many do we need” an insult to human creativity. Also, simply asserting that those making new languages want to “carve out a name for themselves” is highly presumptuous.

Why wouldn’t it be hard to reduce that number? Architectures do differ after all.

So deprecate that. Start popping up warnings. Surely C has deprecated something in its lifetime, right?

I don't get it. At one point C changed its syntax for function arguments (significantly, I'd say), was that new language ipso facto not C?

Survival of his regime, as best I can tell. When a reasonably functional democracy (Ukraine) abuts an autocracy (Russia), the democracy starts to make the autocracy look bad in the eyes of those living in it, threatening the autocrat's

Apple currently charges 15% for <$1m revenue. Yes, 30% is pretty standard, however they're also asking you to give up your IP. The open source only policy makes no sense from a business standpoint. Their justification was so the sof

They had a strategy to monetize their App Store, so it wasn't totally donation-ware. I think they fumbled by being purists and not accepting closed-source software in their store. I was initially excited about the concept until I looke

As a full-time indie app dev, I was insulted by Elementary OS in the same way one might be insulted when being lowballed. IIRC they wanted 30% of revenue and your code had to be open source. Nope! I have to make a living.

Could this lazy cloning be applied to an eager language like Rust? (sorry if that's a dumb question. This isn't my area of expertise)

I make rather nerdy music and art apps full time, and being shut down by Apple still worries me. What if I said the wrong thing on twitter? Very unlikely but it pisses me off that they can push the cancel button on by business. I didn'

Can you ELI5 how the development of, say, C, reflects the needs of corporations? Does every linux install mean less corporate power when, e.g. AWS runs on linux? Can you explain what the rust code of conduct (which AFAICT can be summarized

Despite his short wikipedia page, nobody outside of tech has heard of him, and his holier-than-thou stuff about not rage quitting (a straw man anyway, Haugen didn't rage quit) sure did a whole lot of good.

How smug. Do you actually think that your government, whatever that is, would just welcome someone who rightly divulged government secrets?
145.
by tayistay 5y ago
Bad analogy. Facebook has an algorithm which promotes posts that drive engagement, which is often extremist stuff. Just regulating that (as Haugen suggests) would improve things.

Well, if you had some documents showing that some folks in the news industry really didn't think social media was that bad, but they just thought it was bad for the news business, so they conspired to make social media companies look e

It's the aggregate experience is and its influence on society that is more important than the experience of an individual user. Twitter may seem like more of a war zone, and that's possible, but you have to actually measure things

Even with your feed I could see someone getting depressed if they couldn't afford vacations in Italy, hot air balloon rides, etc. Anyway, maybe you're using Facebook correctly, but clearly enough of the world isn't to cause p
