What uses? Even a raspberry pi 5 has better specs than all itaniums. Except maybe the last one, but obviously I don't have it at hand to test. And not many people do, considering that intel begrudgingly released it and didn't make

> most arxiv posts are not cutting edge That's absurd. I'm a math researcher. I follow a couple of arxiv categories. Almost everything on there is new theorems. That's the definition of cutting edge.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. The "stuff that fills textbook" is at least a century or two old. "Random arXiv preprints" are (usually) literally cutting-edge research.

So somehow everyone believes that IT people don't communicate well, but the IT people know that they actually communicate well. Erm, okay. I feel like there could be another explanation, but it escapes me.

At some point you'll just have to accept that not everyone has the exact same tastes as you. Initially it was "don't force ligatures on me I want to be left alone", now it's "other people are forbidden from usi

The whole game of City Skylines is based around a grid-shaped city and clearly delineated zones for housing, commerce, and industry. It's never going to be able to model a European city (or an old east coast US for that matter).

You need to prove that the code is correct, that's the tricky part. Otherwise I could just write `return true;` as the whole code and tell people to run it, it's easy, just do the peer review yourself.

You can't possibly put syntactic sugar on the same level as memory safety.

That's your smoking gun? CAs that issued certificates for example.com and test.com? You genuinely believe that the only possibility here is a vast conspiracy to defraud and steal?
