With standards it helps to reconcile existing behaviour, rather than create new unproven syntax. Likewise creating a new syntax for something that already exists means you are just adding to the heap of stuff that needs support on mainstrea

The other issue with adding a separate supported way to do what people did with GET+body is that we will probably see servers slowly drop support for the GET+body approach when QUERY gets widespread support/usage, and then a ton of oth

Last time I checked there's a small industry of gstreamer contractors, so it's not that simple.

Much the same as 'arguments' I can have with LLM's about things where I'm the expert and I know it's wrong, but it will justify its position to the end because it's trained on common misconceptions that exist a

When the official EU websites use the same kinds of annoying dialogs, how is this true?

As a consumer who has only tried honest chargebacks within their 'consumer rights' and has never won them, apparently you can fight them, and apparently companies deem them worth fighting.

I will say personally I didn't feel this way in the 2000's, and I was a child at the start of that decade. Maybe I am cynical.

To add to this YouTube has just added a feature where if you share a link it tells the person who opens the link your profile name, which is doxxing people actively. And further attempt to make YouTube more like other social media.

It's like Twitter basically but with vlogs instead of microblogs. And now there's micro-vlogs too. If "X" is social media then so is YouTube.

There is this weird attempt to claim YouTube isn't social media from Google and others, but it's literally called "You Tube". It was designed as social media from the start, it's impossible to separate this without

To be clear: they are not shadow puppets at all, they are not being displayed in the traditional way, but they are being captured with a camera. In many scenes characters entirely change their shape in a natural or fluid way, because the

I like to think there's a solid argument against dark forest that even if you can destroy other intelligent systems, then hidden intelligent cautious systems may exist and see evidence of what you've done, so there's a potent

I don't know, but you'll be able to write Fortran in it.

Lowering demand doesn't always lower price. Assuming the industry is competitive, and capable of supplying all demand, which it usually is, the loss of demand mostly means less money for the producer, and more money for the former con

Is it possible you're too stupid to write scheme? Because that's where I think I am, I've also tried and failed to write it a few times.

Very nice work for how small the source code is, and this is a relatively good design for the language. I will say to criticise that I started scratching my head when I got to the standard library. The functions should really just be C&#x2

When would optimizing correct code be harmed by not abusing UB (beyond its original intent, e.g. array access should be without overhead of checking for overflow)?

It's not that your article specifically discusses this aspect, but I think it's an important part of the conversation that's being overlooked by commentators, that we've twisted the original intent of UB and made unneces

So it's just as useful as when your stack area ends with a page that will segfault on access, or your CPU will raise an interrupt if stack pointer goes beyond a particular address? It's not safe though because throwing an exceptio

What's bad is when your compiler writers and most of the people involved in standardisation are reading it adversarially.

Although some people, like Bjarne Stroustrup, object to the term C/C++, it's a bit like Richard Stallman objecting to the term "Linux". The fact is it can mean "C or C++", and I wouldn't assume the author

This adds a little context behind why when I lived in Bromley I was always told to write "Kent" on post, even though I wasn't in Kent. Apparently it was indeed fully in Kent at some point.
