I’m probably doing it wrong, but when there’s a state with multiple transitions out, I can either model it as distinct methods per transition in which case the caller needs to know how to transition between states or I can have the caller p

I’ve been experimenting with Rust’s type state pattern—I’m trying to build something that builds an inventory of some object storage prefix (recording the version and size of each object in the prefix), but the pattern seemed so cumbersome.

Lol why is this downvoted? There is no dispute that he spent hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Trump and seat himself in government while his companies are financially dependent on government programs and contracts. This is an obviou

Yep, it's crazy that people can correctly recognize that corruption is responsible for the current situation but fail to recognize that adding more corruption will not deliver us from it.

Also, capacitative/multitouch touchscreens were ridiculously expensive until Apple made orders at a scale large enough to bring the technology costs down.

And the Zune media player was a much better media player than the other 6 Microsoft media players. It was crazy how much Microsoft invested in cannibalizing its own products--I remember they had a similar number of word processors, email c

I mean, I understand the need for an escape hatch, but it’s strange to me that it’s the default and that it’s unsandboxed. Feels like build scripts should be treated like CGo in Go—a rare escape hatch that people strongly try to avoid so th

Yeah, or they will make some reference to “the seam” or “it” or something else that assumes you read and followed the prior 3 pages of output.

Kind of both. On the one hand, it is “verbose” in the sense that it will tell me every little nit that it can think of while doing a task, it will tell me a narrative about its thought process, and it will tell me every other detail it can

I don’t even understand what a capability based language is, but presumably closed source software wouldn’t apply here? Is it common for closed source software to give the source code to customers to build?

by throwaway894345 1mo ago
Why does every build have the ability to run arbitrary code by default in the first place? That seems like something you should opt into only under very specific scenarios and even then it should probably be built around a WASM sandbox or m

On the other hand, move to the EU and market to customers who don't want to worry about trade wars disrupting their business or the US government subpoena-ing data. Probably not a big enough market to justify that move yet, but it&#x27

It’s a strange feeling as a native English speaker to read the entire sentence and know every word, for the sentence to be entirely grammatically correct, and still have no idea what it’s trying to communicate. Another problem is that it wi

I even know the link existed but forgot what it was specifically and couldn’t remember what AI* property it was offered under and it took me a long time to figure it out.

How did the federal government create the database of taxpayers? How do they keep it up to date? Why can these mechanisms not work for water utilities?
