How do you think that your predictions about the information superhighway have played out?

That's a very US-centric viewpoint. I mean, New Zealand didn't have any land-dwelling mammals except for the rat 500 years ago.

I have been waiting for this to emerge for a few years, but I assume that it must be very difficult because it hasn't happened yet.

Because at times it's convenient to maim and/or kill them.

I was interested to see that bun ( https://bun.sh ) is being created in Zig. "bun is like postcss, babel, node & webpack in one 100x faster tool for building modern web frontends."

There's a long-standing narrative here that acquisition by a foreign company is a loss for the local tech industry.

But programming isn't really about the mechanics of touching a keyboard. I find that it often requires deep thought and a lack of distractions.

Sodium chloride is a base material for many things. But I can't think of anything that would be economically competitive to handle the quantity of brine that a desalination plant might produce.

That's a very difficult balance as an author writing a project-based book for a language. It's really difficult to know how much time to spend where: the language (Rust), the projects background (gamedev patterns) or the project c

I thought that a 2 party system means that both parties attempt to occupy the center, because there are so few swing voters.

One of the things I have yet to understand is how their books are so cheap. They are hardback on high quality stock.

As well as higher-quality output with Blender, it's also possible to add atmospheric effects such as fog and reflection in water bodies.

> I have been disappointed with Solarpunk as a movement, aesthetic, and literary genre. It's nascent and formative. I mean, even the "Solarpunk Manifesto"[1] is a cluttered mess. The best is yet to come. [1] https:/

Interesting. I wonder what my book's title needs to do to be classed as a book title by this engine. It's actually mentioned in the same comments as a few of the peers in its topic (Rust).

The distractions are actually fine if they're revenue-positive. There might still be a small window of opportunity for Mozilla to be the champion of the web platform. It has an excellent operations team. Its CDN still delivers updates

It isn't enough for FF to be the best "for a free web". To reclaim market share, it needs to be best for users. They're self-interested.

Welcome to OCR. It's often possibly to overlay the raw results with a language model to improve them, but ultimately it's a probabilistic process.

It's not the main thrust of the article, but this snippet of code struck out at me: > err := conn.QueryRow(ctx, `SELECT ` + scanTeamFields + ` ...) Why are we, as an industry, still okay with constructing SQL queries with string con

This is already possible, by statically linking musl. But the build process is probably simpler by using a pure Rust alternative.

I did an undergrad philosophy degree from over 10 years ago. My experience report is that I consistently rely on it. Philosophy gave me tools to evaluate others' claims and taught me that communication is inherently difficult. And beca

I might be remembering this incorrectly, but I don't think that Windows 3.0 even had support for TCP/IP networking by default.

Can you flesh that out? Emulating New Zealand's death rate in the USA would have saved at least 600k lives so far.

The "future of infinite content" is unlikely to emerge. Procedural generation has been around for a long time and it's almost useless without curation. Creativity isn't an objective function (in either sense of the word)

Wow, this feels like a win-win-win for wgpu, bevy and the rust ecosystem in general

This happened to me also. Google's knowledge graph was conflating me with two other Tim McNamaras. I was surprised that they've actually fixed it.

Start with very granular events. They can be aggregated later if needed, but the reverse isn't possible.

If you watch Robert C. ("Uncle Bob") Martin's talks, he spends a lot of time talking about how the first generation of programmers didn't need agile because they were already professionals from other fields. The agile me

Many of the author's heroes became prominent because it benefited them as consultants pushing their methodology. Those methodologies are designed (in part) to make it easier for younger, less experienced programmers to contribute to la
