I've always wondered what the semantics of "national security" are when the deployment of this phrase led directly to 9/11

gRPC is for long-lived services (and connections). Combining it with lambda doesn't make much sense.

The idea the individual consumer is responsible for policing industry is farcical on the face of it.

Is there any evidence that x86 can compete with arm on per-watt computation?

The reason we have bloat is it's easier to satisfy stakeholders if you don't give a damn. There's really no reason to discuss this at all once you realize this. But of course, ranting and reading rants is satisfying in its ow

I'd agree if our society had figured out any sane way to respond to crime in the first place, but that seems even worse than our barely extant resources for drug addiction in the first place. Somehow we're more willing to pay out

I was pessimistic about grapheme-based orientation towards text, deleted it to research more, and I've come to the conclusion that this is simply not a consensus opinion. Can you give me an example where grapheme-based sorting makes a

Ah, I thought you were referring to the benefits of such a system as compared to zig and blithely passing the responsibility of input validation on to the programmer. Rust of course demonstrates the benefit of checking validity at initializ

Well sure, people may colloquially refer to a lot of things as "strings"—hell, you could refer to all sequences as strings if you just wanted to argue with people—but the idea of trying to encapsulate this all in the standard libr

> And then everybody proceeds to write their own String library anyway. Is this true? It was (is!) certainly true for C, but C has an especially emaciated expectation for string processing primitives. Any runtime developed after like 199

Seems sort of like the opposite—a lot of the regulation is done by people installed by lobbying, sort of like a privately owned and operated part of government. Of course it's terrible for everyone but shareholders there isn't rea

I guess I read your comment as contradicting itself by the phrase "the power" rather than "the illusion of power", especially since the american public is so easily distracted by petty squabbling, whereas capital is emph

Javascript may not have an official bytecode, but is it not also based on the same concept of using dictionaries to dispatch code and slow as a result? I certainly had always filed it away as "about as fast as python" in my head.

I don't know what you mean by "fact", but your vote certainly holds less proportional power to influence a politician than that of 1/(population of the us). Politicians straight-up don't care about your opinion unle
