>if you are a C# developer, honestly you don't care about low level code, or not having a garbage collector. You can go low level in C#**, just like Rust can avoid the borrow checker. It's just not a good tradeoff for most code

GC isn't a big problem for many types of apps/games, and most games don't care about memory safety. Rust's advantages aren't so important in this domain, while its complexity remains. No surprise he prefers C# for t

If you're thinking of man readers, do consider the mandoc (previously mdocml) project. By treating the page semantically (rather like a macro language), it can achieve better results (pretty HTML output, even markdown output!). https:

That's not as innocuous as you put it. From Godfather's horse head to the Bibilical story of Saul's robe, that can have a very different meaning and feeling.

Democracy and elections are not opinion polls. It's a distribution of political power.

If someone argued against existence of Ukraine, we'd normally understand their position as hostile to Ukrainians, and definitely one that ignores everything they want or deserve. This isn't different, except it also ignores the hi

It's a good thing, unless the body clears off the phage first, leading to both reduced effectiveness and the body wasting immune resources. It does work locally, and one can probably engineer it today to work even better. But it seems

Bacteriophages suck. What some people never tell you is that the body treats phages as invaders and can very effectively get rid of them, they are not adapted to the human environment. These are only good for local treatments, sometimes...

The admin's think is that any negative trade balance is 'exploiting' the US. Logically, the opposite would mean US is exploiting others. So the only 'proper' balance is zero, which requires managed trade. An obvious

Most of it does? Just about anything talking about a century from now or longer? In general, SF overestimates the short term change but dramatically underestimates the long term change.

>3:... Our Swift server codebase has around 30,000 lines of code. It produces a binary of 60 MB, and builds in ten minutes. Ten minutes isn't very good for 30K lines.

>This is a ret-con... Another way to see it is that people who programmed for Mac OS already had reasons to be annoyed by Apple (e.g. 64bit Carbon). The iPhone let it get new people, who eventually found out why the pre-iPhone scene felt

Apple has had a contemptuous attitude towards developers since.. the App Store? when the iPhone was out? The last two decades? They don't seem to care about this.

You're assuming it was a business transaction. Of course not. Musk never intended to make a direct profit. As a political transaction, if anything, Musk paid very little for what he got.

I'll grant that, though I think that when countries want nukes they get/keep them unless strongly opposed (and usually even then...) - so I don't think US can deny the system in practice.

It's a redirection not a overall cut. American companies will profit from slightly different projects. e.g. https://breakingdefense.com/2025/02/pentagon-seeks-to-shift-...

We can all see that Europe _could_ have done much more for itself and Ukraine - we see that - but chose not to, despite American requests for over a decade.

Competent spies and hackers try to get in nevertheless, and can succeed. Risk is not insignificant if these exist.

They're almost saying what I said? Effects only in the long term, and even then they may be able to manage ('scrambling').

Extremely unlikely. Any backdoor could be in theory found by an enemy - that's an horrible idea. As for outright prevent spare parts - these aren't systems in, well, active use. Effects would be tiny over long term.
