If you want to be pedantic, the preposition à serves about twenty different roles (per the dictionary), so even a literal translation will have to pick the right word, not just one of its homonyms. At is not the right word, even if you&#x27

You can usually also ask ICANN's CZDS service for a particular zone file, if you can give them a valid reason. But in this case, they don't seem to have the ai tld.

No, that's how the feature is supposed to work. You design an abstraction which is unsafe inside, and exposes a safe API to users. That is really how unsafe it meant to be used. Of course the standard library uses unsafe. This is where

Everything that makes Firefox different would be lost, and have to be rebuilt. But let's talk about a different reason why forking Chromium to keep the features you like isn't as simple as it sounds. Imagine upstream Chromium make

For the real frontier benchmark, at the edge of what humans will put up with, install Pyanodon's mod. The scale of it puts a real strain on your organizational skills. Overbuilding, underbuilding, or bad planning can all cause signific

Fun fact: Gadget mode also works on Android phones, if you want a programmable USB device that you can easily program and carry around I made a PoC of a 2FA authenticator (think Yubikey) that automatically signs you in. I use it for testing

You show one example where C doesn't have problems, but that's a much weaker claim than it sounds. "Here's one situation where this here gun won't blow your foot off!" For what it's worth, C++ also passes

I really like the article, but it would benefit from some numbers or complexity estimates to get some intuitive sense of what the cost is. Am I paying 30% overhead for this particular index or that wavelet matrix? Is it double the memory us

Does this mean competing with Asahi to run a Linux kernel, or will this be an attempt to run AI workloads on XNU? Consider the cost of GPUs, losing what could be double digit percents on overhead might not make this very competitive. The ma

I'm sorry, I understood you the first time around. But I'm not sure you're applying your criticism homogeneously. Both sides in this argument are doing something which is not fixing bugs when they go online and write another

It isn't that there is a shortage of developers willing to write code. No, the kernel has entirely too many developers submitting to relatively few maintainers. So I don't take the psychology point at all. We already have more dev

I believe it still does at least for iOS, or it did last time I checked (for a Swift library I was writing).

The goal for Swift should (and seems) to be to gradually separate itself from XCode, which is holding it back from its ambitions. XCode has been compared to many things, but at 3.1 stars on the App store, one must find that it is still slig
