> Those 20% would just figure that there's no need to have children when you can just focus on yourself and go largely extinct within a generation, replaced with some people from the higher tiers, but not nearly enough…
Write once run anywhere? But C already is a "write once run anywhere" language! Though, you usually have to recompile first :) The criticisms related to UB are not about understanding the target platform and the target…
No, not really. I bought an $800 pair of designer sunglasses a couple of times, but usually, good frames are only a few hundred bucks.
I’ve thought about this myself. Couple of points: 1) It’s not my job to fix all the problems of Capitalism. It’s painful to try to fight the system without collective action. My family and I have to eat too. 2) We have…
The Department of Defense was established by the National Security Act of 1947. If the Congress wanted to change the name then they would pass another law to do so. An executive order is not law.
This article does not make it clear what a metaproject actually is. That said, I _believe_ the author is describing a concept similar to something I do. Choose a very small number of open-ended, broad projects. Each…
This is why, of course, nearly all open source projects are written in Java.
The Instruments suite, plus sanitizers like ASan, is basically the valgrind equivalent on macOS. It’s not exactly the same, but it comes close.
Memory management in Swift is almost broken? How so? This is a fascinating assertion, and I’d love to learn more.
There more to stability than continuity of government. Though, that definitely is important. It’s bad enough that America’s foreign policy lately swings wildly every four years. More recently, it’s been acting…
Yes. As far as kernels go, NT was pretty damn good. So is Mach, by the way, if you can afford the microkernel performance overhead.
RISC vs CISC is nonsense. Pre-RISC CPU designs were pragmatic responses to the design constraints of their time. (expensive memory, poor compilers) RISC was a pragmatic response to the design constraints of its time.…
I had been planning to explore Lima tonight as a mechanism to shackle CC on macOS. The trouble with sandbox-exec is that it’s control over network access is not fine grain enough, and I found its file system controls…
How so? In this context, “tedious” clearly means “not very exciting for the reader.” Were you hoping for more relationship drama, or romance? I’d be down for that. Though, it doesn’t seem to be what Banks was most…
It’s highly dependent on what I’m viewing, of course. Some people just… talk… so… slooowly. If the content is interesting then they get 1.5x. Some people talk a mile a minute with dense information and they get 1x. For…
throwaway4496 knows what’s best for you better than you do. So, of what use is liberty?
IMO, it would not be unreasonable to give important public officials preferential protection. Federal judges already have a special status and legal protection baked into the law. So, some must agree with me, at least.…
I find this and similar stories to be strange. If a person calls a Federal judge on the phone to threaten them then law enforcement should take it seriously. Right? “Seriously” here means a full and complete…
It might be the parts that lead a person to commit large scale fraud with the idea that the good they can do with the stolen money outweighs all the negatives. Or, at least, that’s the popular idea of what happened to…
There’s no need to be conspiratorial. It was #15 for me, two hours after your comment. The post hasn’t been memory-holed, or anything like that.
Please provide evidence for a claim that logging into iCloud necessarily sends your plaintext local password to the server.
That is fascinating. Thank you! Is it necessary to be able to exhaustively enumerate states? I remember a project I worked on some years ago which had me sketching out a statechart for a system which was not structured…
I would love to learn more about this too. I don’t really know what you’re talking about, and have a hard time imagining how ideas from relational algebra can be applied to all APIs. For example, many database-like…
In addition, the Industrial Revolution led to societal upheaval which took more than a century to sort out, if you agree its ever been sorted out at all. So, if it is true we’re on the cusp of an AI Revolution, AGI, the…
I am fairly certain that if someone did that where I work then security would be escorting them off the property within the hour. This is NOT Okay.
