On HN you see a good take and you can upvote or engage. You see a bad take and you downvote it. If it's really offensive you can flag it. On Twitter you have two options: you see a good take - upvote or engage, you see a bad take - eng

This is an extremely generic interface to some meta magic DSL. It's complex but not really that complicated and yeah, it's going to be a bit long. But that's going to happen in every language where you rely on types for early

There's an alternative of being much more up front about the status. For example the project page doesn't really say it's unstable/experimental. It only says "Zig has not yet reached v1.0" on the "getting

That's ok. "It's an unstable, experimental, early version." is a valid explanation. GP put the lack of docs and the new interface together, which... isn't an excuse.
936.
by viraptor 1y ago
In serious codebases docs are not an afterthought. There's lots of places where you're expected to add both a new interface and docs together.

On an IQ test for example that would be just under 1 point of difference.

I meant specifically for a given small size. Sure larger ones can be and are produced elsewhere. But how many years behind is everyone else if they can't get any help at all from the current companies.

If Taiwan becomes practically inaccessible, is there any way another country can setup a competing fab (for the latest generation of chip sizes) without years of R&D? As far as I understand, the practical knowledge of how to do it doesn

Why not? "For most development we recommend running single/specific tests since the whole suite is slow/expensive." sounds like a great thing to put in the readme.

Sure. And these types of "we fixed it and confirmed nobody actually exploited it" issues are not always treated as material. You can confirm that for example by checking SEC reports for each cve in commercial VPN gateways... or la

And how many would cancel is they published every security issue they fixed?

by viraptor 1y ago
The bigger the system, the more "amateur level of security" issues you'll find. It's not really a skill problem on its own.
947.
by viraptor 1y ago
Most security bugs get fixed without any public notice. Unless there was any breach of customer information (and that can be often verified), there are typically no legal requirements. And there's no real benefit to doing it either. Wh

No, central heating + radiators are somewhat region specific. For example Australia runs almost entirely on split system reverse aircons and electric heaters.

It just doesn't work at all since M2. I've got a bug report open and confirmed and Apple officially does not care anymore. If you try to run it, it will crash your whole system.

We're talking in context of Putty which is itself an extremely niche software. But if you think of just the software/tech people - Mastodon is quite an important place.

They mean very little. Even the fully reviewed software signing cert I got with id validation was a total hack job (company didn't know how to read my ID, asked to change some field and they did).
