this 100% ! When I write, it's usually to help my brain think: what I write remains a bit longer in my brain (say minutes instead of seconds). Moreover, using pen and paper is so much more "free form" than typing, and instinc

In the article they say openness is really important. But when you to the website, you have to use Google Account... It's open yeah, but someone wants to track you on this...

Dumb question: is this legal ?

funny, a while ago MSFT said Copilot was not stealing code, it was merely reading it...

As an older dev: > They had less preconceived notions and practices to unlearn and more willing to trust rustc. this is really what I experiences: rust told me a thing or two about coding I never realized. And it took me pretty long to a

The how is not the issue, the why is. And for the how, just limit the number of transactions one can do per second or the money one can exchange per second. Then everyone will have to be smart instead of being the one with the best connecti

I think Debian bookworm uses pipewire by default. Coming from the previous stable release (which uses alsa if my memory serves me well), is pipewire better ? I'm interested mostly by the robustness point of view (in my case, audio some

You can still have grace and style by showing the finger (depending on the culture and your willingness to take some risk) :-)

Python3 changes were many "little" things; some more fundamental than other (unicode str). So I guess they were able to split the work in tiny pieces and, ultimately, were able to manage the project...

The fourth freedom is rephrased as the "right to collaborate". Yeah, right, but the official "definition" is pretty clear to me so I don't see the point in re-writing it. Moreover, but in my own opinion, nowadays fr

I still don't get the "no good for branching code" point... Since most of the work is split in millions of "threads" which all run in parallel, then why is branching an issue ? Some threads will take a bit longer t

Really good ! I understand the notes about playing sound. Audio filtering is definitely a hard problem (learned the hard way too :-) )

Nothing wrong, but code is already formal enough that you don't need a formal visual language (UML is not just a bunch of diagrams, it's a formal language). So yeah, a bit of drawing might help to understand, a few ideas from UML

A someone who followed courses in num op, I can say that yes, indeed, the math concepts are rather basic and not that hard to learn. BUT you have to be at ease with mathematical reasoning because many of the proofs are not that easy to unde

I tend to reproduce what my parent said, but usually the intent behind that is pretty different. Example: "you must have good scores at school else you'll have no future" is repeated as "you should have good scores becau

If it can make your day a little happier: I change car/gsm/whatever when they die and can't be repaired anymore (my PC is 13 years old for example, it's alittle too weak for rust-analyze, but well :-))). I haven't t

It'd be so much more convincing if each of the signatories actually articulated why he/she sees a reisk in there. Without that, it pretty much looks like a list of invites to a VIP club...
