Just to prod at this a little bit: The vast majority of ARM licensees aren't doing anything transformative, that's for sure. But would something like the M1 - bringing ARM to the desktop when all past attempts have failed - have b

I mean, they’re “connected” insofar as they have the potential legal right to move there and acquire citizenship. The question is - is that kind of connection meaningful here? Speaking personally - I am ethnically Jewish, although I’ve neve

I never learned to type "properly" and I also don't really care or think about modifier keys. I suspect it's one of those things - like coffee snobs searching for the perfect pourover technique, or steak snobs perfecting

I guess…but in terms of what you see on screen most of what you see is going to be dominated by closer things, is what I’m getting at. The world is very big but right now most of what I see is relatively speaking close to me. I don’t care m

Thanks - this is much clearer than the original article, which somehow never actually defines "reverse Z" before going on and on about it. Why is it that most things you render are far away rather than close? I guess I'd expe

Lua isn't anything like SQL. "Table"s in Lua are like maps/dictionaries/hash tables, not relational tables.

Not OP, and I'm not sure specifically about which dark patterns you're referring to, but I can take a stab: It's because Dropbox doesn't have a good business model (anymore). Microsoft, Apple, Google, etc. are happy enou

It doesn't really teach CS or anything, but I'd say it does teach "how to think about programming like a computer scientist". Few entry-level "practical programming" textbooks are going to address - even at a c

It’s somewhat unclear, but in this case Guido is responding directly to a particular - broken - attempt to add TCO to self-tail calls to CPython in the fashion described. I assume, having not read the linked article, that the author must ha

...the idea that TRE is merely an optimization, which each Python implementation can choose to implement or not, is wrong. Once tail recursion elimination exists, developers will start writing code that depends on it, and their cod

I’m a bit of an AI skeptic and find the way people talk vaguely about the “dangers” of AI weird and maybe just more hype (or efforts for regulatory capture) rather than actual cause for concern. Still, to me, it seems like the two big scary

Correct me if I'm wrong (I've only dabbled in F* and only briefly read about 1ML) but wouldn't F*'s full dependent types make 1ML redundant? That is, once you've brought types into the value level, modules themselve
