Are you arguing in bad faith, or do you just not have any practical experience dealing with complex systems? Even if the bug can't be reproduced, on the basis of multiple user reports the first step absolutely should be to add some ass

Even in C, string literals are immutable, and mutating them is undefined behavior.

From the paper: > The problem with unsafe code is that it can do things like this: fn main() { let mut x = 42; let ptr = &mut x as *mut i32; let val = unsafe { write_both(&mut *ptr, &mut *ptr) };

All lovely ideals, but sadly means the project is not actually open source (by the official definition). And not compatible with the GPL and similar copyleft.

Yes, arxiv requires that submissions must be scientific research. And not just anyone can publish on arxiv, you need endorsement by existing users. That that scientific research is in pursuit of a commercial product, or that the paper submi

You're confusing throughput and latency. Lengthy CI runs increase the latency of developer output, but they don't significantly reduce overall throughput, given a developer will typically be working on multiple things at once, and

This is the simple elegance of code whose requirements never change. Lots of software projects don't have this luxury, sadly.

I don't know if I would describe Zig as ergonomic per se. It has some nice features, but the main focus is on completely explicit control over low-level details. In its design Zig always chooses explicitness and programmer control over

I find that is the case with almost all methodologies for software quality improvement. If you can't enforce that people follow it then it's not worth anything.

The cash probably didn't cost the government anything. They can just use bills that are slated for replacement/removal from circulation.

I wouldn't frame it as "complexity", I would frame it as "cognitive load". You can lower cognitive load despite having high complexity. For example, you could (and many companies have done so) build a user-friendly

Anticompetitive practices don't mean that you have a monopoly. In fact people often get this wrong - having a monopoly is not illegal in and of itself. What's illegal is using one's market position to prevent other companies

yeah calling something a "four-letter word" is intended to evoke the idea that, people react negatively upon merely hearing the word (as though it were an expletive)

There is always a customer experience reason. Every anticompetitive company that has ever existed has benefited from the customer experience of everything being in one place and coming from one company. Unfortunately, "my product benef

I wouldn't really say "very often". Occasionally, perhaps. Even from a pure zero-sum mathematical perspective, it can make sense to invest even as much as 2 or 3 months of engineer time on cloud cost savings measures. If the

If Samsung is using their market position to stifle competitors, then by all means yes.

I think it's specifically anticompetitive for Apple to force app developers to go through Apple Payments (with a 30% fee to Apple) for all purchases, otherwise their app is disallowed from being sold on the App store. There's no t

Average new car price is very misleading. When you buy a car, they don't charge you the average, they charge you what the specific car you're buying costs. If there are a dozen cheap car options for sale, it is irrelevant to me th

Given this is going to be used as a scripting language for a build system, it's possible they are trying to implement a restricted subset of Lua rather than than the full language.
