That's like saying I payed for my new house with stocks. Which is not the same thing as stocks being a currency. What actually happened is that you liquidated some crypto and used the proceeds to buy your new computer. You even say tha

That is a depressing perspective. Your self-worth should not be dependent on someone else's image of you. It should be based on the facts of your own performance. You can't fix or improve other people. You can only improve your ow

I would perhaps argue, especially for projects like Android, that memory safety should be considered table stakes going forward. The class of risks that are mitigated or eliminated by memory safety are well worth the effort. There isn'

This is impossible. If it can be traded it can be speculated. The value of any tradable asset is determined by how much someone is willing to trade for it and by nothing else. There is no way to make it stable other than to make it impossib

This conversation is odd. Someone says there are no real world use cases. Someone else says yes there is and poses one. Former person points out that in fact that example just makes their point for them. The counter is well there has to b

There is a difference between thinking something is a bad idea because it's hard and thinking something is a bad idea because it's dangerous. Your Stripe example is an example of something that was hard. Mighty is an example of so

The impetus for using a columnar format is precisely to get data locality. It is absolutely about data locality generally. You wouldn't take his approach at all if you didn't get the locality with it's associated performance

I don't think the DMCA replaces the scary letters. The scary letters existed because they were more effective than the DMCA. Threatening to sue someone is always and always has been totally an option. The reason scary letters don&#x2

The importance of those twice a year trips is high though. Visiting family, resting up on vacation, exploring new places. Choosing a vehicle that doesn't support those twice a year trips is a hard sell for many people.

The colors are important if you are going to do async. They tell you significant details about the functions you are using. The issues most people have with colored functions aren't that they are have colors. It's that the colors

An attack directed at your own govt is potentially a nightmare for the average individual. If the wrong information is stolen it could be used much farther down the road. Your govt may find itself at a disadvantage at a critical moment. I&#

The document assumes you have used SQL in anger before and run into it's lack of modularity. If you haven't run into those things then you'll miss the point. But if you have then this looks really interesting.

Some of what you say about management is true. But if you really want to fully understand then you need to keep following that trail of incentives. Your bosses boss doesn't optimize for those metrics "just because". There are

Pijul can detect when a patch commutes and when it does not. From there it can construct a dependency graph of commits and use that information in various interesting and useful ways. Back when I used Darcs I would somewhat frequently do th

Just to double check I went back and re-read the article. It wasn't strictly about JS. It was about the entire concept of async await. In fact if you read it he dunks on C#, Dart (the language he works on), and python. He only calls ou
