Reminder: Most of the seminal accomplishments of this era's AI wave were actually developed in the 70s-90s. Yes, even GANs and RL. This industry has been riding on the NVIDIA welfare program for the past 10 yrs. How long until the hard

It's going to become more important as programming becomes commoditized.

This is correct. Neither the public nor the majority of economists have ever been able to predict a stock market crash. Price only crashes when reality falls short of expectations. The fear is priced in. As long as everyone is expecting a c

I don't get it, why didn't anyone just fork it and outcompete the original one?

That seems right. Memory errored programs are a subset of all computer programs. The possible runtime states of a program (expanding every branch/subroutine recursively over all threads) is uncomputable. (Otherwise we would have a solu

IOT is generally less of a target. I'm more talking about http endpoints to be consumed by browsers anywhere in the world. That makes the whole world your adversary.

Primates tend to attack each other out of envy when they become too similar and all behave the same exact way. They look to find someone to crucify to get rid of the angst built up from being too similar to the next person. The Common Lisp

That's okay, Rust should never be used for web anyway. I don't like the idea of Rust, C, C++, or Assembly for directly web-facing services. Any non-GC language should be a non-starter. There are literally (uncountably?) infinite w

Supporting web push would make Apple responsible for sending all kinds of malware and spam down their pipe. Anyone can access the push service, authenticated by Safari. I think it would look bad for their brand to have notification spam und

Eventually we will get libchromium{.so,.dll} installed by default in all operating systems so that Electron apps can share the same runtime as your browser.

Very reasonable concern. I like Go, but it's not sufficiently better than its competitors (Java/C#) to be professionally maintained or adopted. Then there's the huge chunk of people who use it just because of the Google halo

I'm skeptical of this argument. Advertising companies shill garbage to us all the time. If it were bad, people would have stopped using it. As strong as the Google brand is, I don't think people are using it just because they were

I used the official, automatically-updating build from getfirefox dot com. Package managers are always outdated, which you don't want for browsers (CVE madness).

It was real memory. I know the difference. I only noticed because I got an OOM error in my Java program and X11 froze, couldn't use my mouse. This happened multiple times with different heavy duty JS websites, particularly SPAs.

Thank you for rr, once again. Great tool. I hope to contribute one day, as soon as I find an itch to scratch.

It seems about median. > Thirty-seven percent of PETA’s dedicated staff earn between $30,000 and $44,999, including President Ingrid Newkirk, who made $31,285 during the fiscal year ending July 31, 2016. Seven percent of PETA’s dedicated

There already is a browser monoculture. Even Microsoft's default browser is now Chromium with a different logo on it. The way to get diversity in browsers is to have adoption. There are hundreds of alternative browsers out there, but t

Why not do if for less, if you are so dedicated to the supposed Mozilla cause? It is a non-profit after all. Random non-profit: Goodwill (way bigger than Mozilla) CEO makes $1,114,375[1]. PETA's CEO makes $31,285[2]. TOR Project execut

This will discourage people from donating. Absolutely disgusting. Maybe it's good for them to go bankrupt, so that other non-profits will learn from their mistake.

Mozilla is good at everything except making browsers. rr is the best debugger I've used. I wonder if there's a way for them to monetize Rust. It seems impossible to monetize a programming language without owning a platform e.g. Mi

If there's anything they need to axe, it's the Gecko team. Just replace it with V8. The whole layout engine too--replace it with Blink. It is inevitable, so might as well get over with it now and save the wasted human effort and $

The way Plaid works, I'm surprised that they hadn't already been shut down for breaking banks' TOS. It exposes the banks to so much liability for a product that's not even theirs.

This is ridiculous. I'm guessing a huge revenue source is going after businesses for long-tail billing spikes. Not only do I have to worry about bad code causing a huge bill, I also have to worry about the quality of code (or config) t

Are there any cloud products that have hard $$$ caps? Even non-big 3. Any at all? Seems like this is a huge dealbreaker. You cannot be expected to perfectly audit your side project for security. Suppose someone finds a remote code executi

In a nutshell this captures my argument against functional programming, design patterns, and this whole code fetish cargo cult. I care about what the code does, not what it looks like. If two different things compile to the same hardware in

When they ask me how I knew it was a market top, I will tell them a Chrome extension sold for $4 billion.
