Rather than API/ABI stability, I think the problem is the lack of coherence and too many fragile dependencies. Like, why should a component as essential as Systemd have to depend on a non-essential service called d-bus? Which in turn d

The difference is that you can customize/debug it or not. You might say that a .EXE can be modified too. But I don't think that's the conventional definition of open source. I understand that these days, businesses and hobbyi

It seems to come from a Plan 9 C idiom that GCC even has an extension for it. https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-5.3.0/gcc/Unnamed-Fields....

Downstream assembly factories attract component manufacturers because of lower transport costs and shorter delivery times, which can lead to network effects. (Remember why Intel wanted to build more foundries in China a few years ago?) Tha

Maybe the README should mention whether reflection (the part that would disable dead-code elimnation) is used? That was a pain point for me when I had to investigate a binary bloat issue due to reflect.

Homes are not a homogeneous commodity. New homes cannot be perfect substitutes due to locations, amenities, access to jobs (commute time), etc. Also, government spending on infrastructure will be capitalized into the neighborhood's lan

C# is fine. But last I checked, the AOT compilation generates a bunch of .dll files, which are not suitable for a CLI program like Go's zero dependencies binary.

In my honest opinion, it's not a good idea to mix two programming languages into the same monolithic codebase side by side . It would be less problematic if used for different purposes or layers, like frontend and backend. But we know

Not as terse as I imagined it could be, but I really didn't expect that it could be done this way. Thanks!

Here is a contrived example: CREATE MACRO foo(bar, baz) AS TABLE WITH base AS ( FROM query_table(bar) t ), refined AS ( FROM base JOIN query_table(baz) u ON base.id = u.i

DuckDB macro doesn't support instantiating a table macro using the `query_table` function. So, it's not possible to expand a table macro like `foo(bar(baz()))`, making its use limited.

Open source has pragmatic merits and I love the culture. But I don't like associating it with a moral high ground because it doesn't charge you money. By this standard, we should also ask Intel/AMD to open-source their CPUs,

This baffles me a lot as TikTok and RedNote have very distinct market niches except for their Chinese origin. I assume if someone were interested in a flavor of social media like RedNote they would have been on it already. Is there a really

No. Sustaining a business with a margin doesn't necessarily mean that maximizing the margin has to be the ultimate goal. A company can look to maximize market share, revenue, or other ambitions.

This margin-oriented mindset is arguably one of the driving factors that makes the US lose its industrial base.

It depends. We can say that China’s industrial policies are a kind of protectionism as well in that they are willing to pay for extra cost for domestic “national red supply chain independence” rather than relying on the “comparatively advan

The popularity of a programming language is not always about what the language offers. I would say a comprehensive, well-documented, mature set of standard libraries for its target audience is far more important (notable examples like R, Py

I have no philosophy issue with systemd. The biggest show-stopper (on embedded Linux) for me is its install size. We have edge devices with only 64M RAM and 128M NAND flash. For an OTA update (via Bluetooth sometimes) only ~20M in total, ad

The lack of these design elements in a solo project does not define crappy code. More often, it's due to a codebase being modified by multiple contributors, each wanting to get their work done quickly without paying attention to the ov

Looks neat and convincing. But I think the goal (and effort) to make it into the C++ standard would hinder the momentum of adoption. I suspect it would have to go through a lot of politics and bikesheding before making any real-world impact

It's not like France would have excessive 'base load' nuclear generation in the first place. The base load power plants are not designed to respond to demands or serve as reserved capacity.
