You don't need Rust's complexity and borrow checking to protect you from data races. Actor model does that without the bad parts.

None of those car examples are necessarily race conditions. Most of those are likely deterministic and merely the result of wrong assumptions due to poor understanding of the system about what happens on which event, i.e. your usual softwar

You can solve HDD noise issue in a tower case DIY style by suspending HDDs in some rubberry material. There is plenty of space for that where CDROMs used to be put. Or buy a tower case that has anti vibration for HDDs already.

There is nothing wrong with cutting wires and soldering and for fans you don't even need any soldiering. Although if you were to solder, speed of all those brushless dc fans can be easily controlled via voltage. Meaning that dc-dc step

More vfs cache for swap space is not a trade off here, but rather a mostly incorrect oversimplification. The value of more cache is very non linear, it depends on the workload and usually only matters when nearly all of the disk I/O is

What I agree is that these days you should still use swap, but swap should always be either on zram or on zswap if you can't use zram for some reason, have too little ram, can't load zram module or something. Raw swap on disk is j

Propaganda in general is an attempt to influence how you should judge something or feel about something instead of letting you make your own judgements and feelings. It's not that complicated, movies and tv shows always have lots of pr

> but showing a normal "mixed-race gay couple" For an international audience this is very obvious in your face propaganda. It's hard to miss it or ignore it, when you only see this in US shows and nowhere else.

You can't make a new Friends in the US anymore. But it is potentially possible in other countries.

You would still have connectors and wires with sensitive analog singals picking up noise. Integrating ADC and amplifier with the mic and never pushing analog signals over wires is the best that can be done.

I don't think it has anything to do with developer efficiency. My impression is that client-side development is seen by developers as sort of an unimportant throwaway specialization. Nobody cares about it or bothers to learn any of it

by zzzcpan 7y ago
Files you send someone are out of your control whether you like it or not and can end up somewhere on the internet. The world where regulations can prevent that would be so creepy dystopian, that it wouldn't even need humans anymore.

This is how the internet works. Any files you send someone can end up somewhere on the internet. Facebook has nothing to do with it.

In my experience Golang code bases are messy because of two things: OO and CSP. People all too often resort to goroutines, channels, objects and interfaces where a simple side-effect free function could do.

I disagree that debugging is a superset, it's a different skill. It's possible not to know how to design and implement an algorithm, but know how to dig into somebody else's implementation and vice versa. But being harder is

It's a natural evolution of any system - monoliths are ok only as long as you don't need much of reliability, security, productivity, cooperation, etc.
