AppleTalk over LocalTalk cables was slow -- AppleTalk could run over Ethernet at Ethernet speeds.

You seem to be arguing with a strawman here -- who said you need an M3 Ultra for energy efficient Face ID?

Zig is not yet stable enough to base a long-term project around, unless something's changed very recently. If you really only want a better C/C++, use C++ and amp up your use of safer types (or consider D).

It’s a little bit more complicated than “are you vaxxed,” though only a little. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/02/21/nx... Tl;dr: If you were born before 1968 and did not have m

I think people get unhappy that their favorite language doesn’t have real GC and it becomes an extension of their language advocacy. Python didn’t have GC for a long time.

This is a non-sequitur. The raw numbers are irrelevant. What are those employees doing? In abstract, I support a smaller government. In practice, Chesterton’s Fence is an important principle to remember. For example, the TSA is largely secu

I’m really baffled by this take. How are you not understanding the basic fact that these are criminals actively performing a coup to destroy the “democratic society”, not political opponents?

Rust doesn't have a stable ABI for things that can't be expressed in C, so I assume he means when you're screwed when you want to publish Rust-specific interfaces to a shared library. This is one area where Swift is far ahead

The Cliff's Builders Bar (chocolate mint edition) is actually pretty good. This person has no taste.

Always surprised to find DOS 3.3 not referring to the long-lived, ubiquitous Apple II DOS.

Houses have doubled in cost everywhere in the US over the past 5 years, rich and poor areas alike.

Yes. What’s interesting is that this corporate software engineering socialism isn’t new with modern open source. It dates back to the earliest operating systems for IBM mainframes. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA

The only thing that we _need_ is ICBMs with nuclear warheads, which we already have plenty of. The rest of it is essentially optional. Even conceding the need for a large conventional military force (soldiers/tanks/boats/airc

"How can you have a functional democracy without a king" is what you seem to be asking. Do you see the problem?

Regardless of how anyone feels about it, it's factually accurate to state that it's illegal. The executive branch cannot abrogate Congress's constitutional role. The president is a citizen, not a king. It's also unnecess

Acknowledged, but said maintainers need to learn to cope with the relentless advance of technology. Any software engineer with a long career needs to be able to do this. New technology comes along and you have to adapt, or you become a foss

FWIW, it's unclear how the NSF ends up. Musk needs scientists to make rockets go. The defense industry needs a broad spectrum of scientists to make all kinds of things happen. Scientists (and especially the schools producing said scien

Has it occurred to you that the people who feel rage fundamentally understand the situation, and you may be undereducated in this area? What do you think are the root causes of that “senseless partisan drive”? I’d suggest starting with Rick

Those asking might want to have a chat with Florida residents, who have a completely ideologically opposite state government and have the same situation, but with flood insurance. Some risk has to be socialized or no one can live anywhere s

Young people are correct. Centrism doesn’t lead to policies that work at this point because the right wing is unwilling to come to the center. (Yes, it’s the right wing, not both sides. The left has compromised itself into having no politic

What's the tl;dr on why one would use Yash vs anything else? ReadMe doesn't really explain what's unique here.

Lucid has a viable Model S competitor. I haven't driven one, but they're very well-reviewed and they beat the Model S specs for range.

What's your alternative to dominance by China? Dominance by Elon Musk? American industry has been fucking the dog since the 1980's. This is what we deserve.

yup. the good news is this should make interviewing easier; bad news is there'll be fewer qualified candidates. the other thing, though, is that you and I know that LLMs can't write or debug operating systems, but the people who p

It's unfortunate Apple never shipped any of the modern OS's it worked on from 1988 to 1996. All of them would have had a classic Mac UI style on top of a microkernel. Resurrecting Pink would be an interesting retro move.

Genuinely curious, what are you doing that requires you to turn SIP off? I'd have thought only OS developers and maybe forensics people of various stripes need to do that.

Well, Trump was always this, but my theory is Musk cooked his brain on various drugs during COVID lockdown and is now incapable of feeling fear.
