By “fixed” I meant that the guy was released, obviously.

I think it's to make a clean break. The true full synax of C is horrendous and has 1000 edge cases that nobody is aware of until you have to write a C compiler. If you're making a new language, you're not going to support all

Sure, that was the first responders on the scene. The question isn’t about whether mistakes are made, it’s that once they’re made, will they be recognized and fixed? The commenters article doesn’t show what they claim (if not proving the op

The fact that we're hearing about it means that the process worked, doesn't it?

> would likely be more amiable to creating shared libraries. Why's that? There's a gc/no-gc barrier to cross, and also being able to use other features in an implementation doesn't make creating a C interface harder.

I like the effort, but this > No polymorphism, generics makes it DOA for me. Also the fact that this is a GC language makes it feel like it's aiming at higher level applications than C.

This is from the seventies. I wonder if things would be different fifty years later.

Nah, it’s pretty unrelated to the current wave of AI.

Uh, power is a euphemism? For what, pray tell?

Exactly. Any kid who has stuck a flat hand out of the window of a car at speed knows how airplane wings work. You tilt your hand back and the wind pushes it up. Tilt it forward and the wind pushes it down. Everything else is an optimization

It could definitely be my systems-oriented writing. May I ask what your profession is? I’m a software engineer.

I have often thought that all good fiction is mystery. This is obviously an overstatement, but I think it’s not too far off. Humans are mystery solvers. If I don’t have a compelling mystery to solve—something like the “what’s going on benea

Man it’s been a while so I don’t remember all the details, but I think I created a card that was a combination of the Mantis God and the Ouroboros or something like that, so this card had triple strike and was hitting for like 60 damage a t

Jump ship every 3-5 years because if you don’t, your wages will stagnate. A prophet has honor except in his own home as it were.

Thank you. AI is different from tools we've seen before. There won't always be a precedent to refer to.

Right. They use rules like "a function body must destructure its input and cannot use a constructor" which implies that, since input can't be infinite, the function will terminate. That doesn't mean that the recursion de

It's quite funny, for myself, if I concentrate I can so strongly visualize something that I stop seeing through my physical eyes and kind of go "blind," only perceiving with my eyes once I decide to again or once some large v

> Bias cant be avoided, only made explicit This is so untrue and this is a harmful belief. And I'm pretty much as liberal as they come.

Your AI explanation offers nothing in the way of why it's not fine. It just asserts that it's not fine. I agree with the AI, but your summary is wrong.
