Why is this the first we’re hearing about this, three years in? The article says these companies blamed other factors for the layoffs - why?

For better or for worse, Anderson is very much an auteur [0], like Godard or Woody Allen. Almost certainly in a self-conscious way. Complaining that Anderson movies feel like Anderson movies seems almost to miss the point: do we look at Pic

OP's sort of being misleading when they say they "rewrote it in Rust", IMO. They're still using HTML and JS for their UI, rather than a native solution. The size/perf improvements mostly just come from using the OS&

Hmm. I'm pretty sure Kojima directed Metal Gear before Snatcher (and worked on various other Konami games before that). And Snatcher was a PC-88 game, not a PC-98 game. All great games, at any rate.

I've fantasized about some kind of a dependently-typed Smalltalk-like thing before, and in those fantasies the solution would be that changes would be submitted in the form of transactions - they wouldn't be live until you bundled

Does Erlang/Elixer have any edge over Ocaml or Haskell in that niche? They also have pattern matching, of course, and strong static types tend to work nicely for compilers too. Of course, the big superpower they have is the BEAM and th

Nothing that anyone’s watching on Disney+ was from The Tracy Ullman Show. And by the second or third season of the show proper it was already a bona fide cultural phenomenon, so one would hope (hah) Fox might’ve been a bit forward thinking

We can't build something quite like that because we demand a whole lot more from our general-purpose computing devices than we demand from our Switches. For instance, the Switch - and I don't know where in the stack this limitatio

And it's easy to understand how we get into that trap. Each one of those abstractions is very low-cost, so it seems harmless. And getting out of the trap is hard too, because no single abstraction is to blame - you can't just hit

The IIGS uses a 65816, the same 16-bit CPU that's used in the SNES. Since the MiSTer already has excellent SNES support, I don't think there's anything to be done as far as modeling the CPU for the IIGS. This is a "fanta

Looks better is subjective, but it has its advantages both for actual autocomplete - as soon as I hit the dot key my IDE can tell me the useful operations for the obejct - and also for "mental autocomplete" - I know exactly where

FWIW lenses are lovely in Typescript with monocle-ts, and extremely useful when - speaking of functional ideas hitting the mainstream! - writing Redux reducers to provide updates for immutable data.

At the language level...sort of? Idris is strict, unlike Haskell. As of Idris 2, it also has a substructural type system which tracks how often terms are used, which is kind of Rust-y and can allow for better runtime performance by ensurin

There’s an excellent article in the React documentation about this (“You Might Not Need An Effect”). Back when I was working on a React team I probably threw it at a code review on average once a week. I really like React, but given the way

Technically this still reduces emissions, since they'll burn less fuel carrying a lighter weight. Pretty sure it's negligible, though.

In theory, anyway, billboards are prevalent sans regulation because they’re (among) the most efficient forms of advertising. That is, if the advertisers would only be spending some money on astroturf campaigns and product placement instead

Sorry, I’m commenting on an article and don’t feel as though I should need more research than what’s written in it. Based on her account, that’s not really accurate, and I do actually trust her (and Guardian fact-checkers) more than your an
