Clarification: He thinks it came out of a US biotech lab. Given who was the US president at the time of the outbreak... I don't exactly believe it, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if it turned out that Trump outright ordered

I have a Linux laptop which is actually a gaming laptop. Which is to say that it has plenty of power. I'm getting the MacBook Air M2 to complement, possibly to replace this one. Because the Linux machine is an awkward one and its idle

Personally, I think the all-in USB-C was a brilliant one. A better-looking USB-C/A adapter would have made it bearable. I wasn't missing HDMI at all.

>- Uniform Function Call Syntax: a.len() == a.len == len(a) a.len() == len(a) seems like a good idea, but I'm not so sure about a.len... Isn't that a bit ambiguous?

Translation: Meta wants researchers to work free for them, just like all of their content creators are doing right now. That company (and all the other parasitic social media companies like them) needs to be taxed way more heavily than it i

That's an incredible achievement for Crystal given how high-level that language is. But you're right technically of course.

Perhaps the point is that 2/3 of the people are mostly disconnected from the places where most intensive discussion about these topics is going on. But at the workplace, also these people are forced to be connected. It's probably

That might be, but they still wouldn't let Zig code into the main tree without such fanfare.

It's more memory-safe than C, which is being used in production in billions of places right now.

This stance is kinda countered by actual events, i.e. Rust becoming a 2nd class citizen in possibly the most famous C project right now: Linux.

Blockchain companies have been very active at hiring people for Rust positions. Getting to write actual production code is so much better experience than just studying books and tutorials that it doesn't even really compare. A month of

Tolkien said in one letter that there are female orcs. That some would become warriors is perhaps a bit of a leap.

Yeah, the trailer wasn't extremely promising. But who knows -- I think it's entirely possible to mix contemporary trendy politics without hurting the quality of the actual piece. It's more a question of overall quality than t
