PNaCL was essentially "let's shove LLVM into every browser and make it a mandatory part of the web", which somehow seems even worse than "let's shove the JVM into every browser and make it a mandatory part of web&qu

It's been proposed to reopen passenger rail through the tunnel: https://windsor.ctvnews.ca/cross-border-passenger-rail-servi... Who knows if it'll actually happen, but it's good to see that someone actually t

Not really, no. Like Elm, it strips away practically everything that wasn't already in 1970s-era ML. It's much closer to a trimmed-down Ocaml than it is to Haskell.

According to cppreference ( https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support/20 ), MSVC has everything implemented. GCC is close but its modules support remains lacking.

Clang 18 supports `import std;` now, but you need to enable some build settings [1]. Also has `deducing this` support, which is nice - I am fully in favour of C++ continuing to poach the good parts of Rust. [1] https://libcxx.llv

They may not have talked about it to you , but that doesn't mean they didn't talk about it at all.

HTML imports required JS to be used - otherwise all you had was a `link`ed DOM tree that you couldn't access. No one has really proposed a way to dynamically load anything without JS AFAIK.

Yeah, but that does require a fair bit of additional infrastructure, running overhead wires and having it connected to the power grid. Makes sense in populated areas, but for mining trains in Australia, potentially 1000s of kms from the nea

My understanding has long been that web developers have decided to turn Javascript into C#, one proposal at a time.

Given that's exactly what ended up happening in Australia I wouldn't be surprised.

Note: This article is by the National Post, which is owned by PostMedia, who were one of the main backers of bill C18. Just something to keep in mind.

Reddit and Apple News will have the law applied to them as well, since the law doesn't include a list of sites affected, just the criteria under which affected sites fall.

Oh no, it's not just Google and Meta. That's how it's being presented, but it's actually whoever the CRTC wants to charge. They can and will change the list at any time, with no need for oversight.

Yeah, the biggest winner under the Canadian law will be the American hedge funds who own PostMedia, the company that owns the vast majority of Canadian newspapers. But that's good apparently, since at the least the money doesn't g

You might want to look in Lean 4 at some point too. A lot of work has gone into making it's theorem solving ergonomic and approachable for average programmers.

The Reddit OP posted the prof's name, they really are an agricultural sciences professor at Texas A&M. If this is made up then it's one hell of a way to defame someone.

It can certainly make up things that look like citations. It definitely cannot produce a series of valid inline citations for specific quotes, rephrasings, or statistics.

That's like saying Classical Latin has been meticulously preserved. Technically true, but entirely irrelevant.

There is no "standard English." There sure as hell isn't a consensus that "comprised of" is incorrect, or it wouldn't have been used over 90k times.

ALGOL has certainly influenced the development of FORTRAN at least, with Fortran 90 and later fitting in pretty neatly amongst the various ALGOL-likes.

Is the term 'data-oriented design' not widely known? That seems to be largely what is attempting to be described here.

Britain did significantly worse than it's peer nations in that decline, though. Clearly the rate doesn't have to be this low.

It only mentions it in the first few paragraphs. Not the greatest framing, but it's a pretty interesting article over all.

It's not that the add-ons were slow, it's that the architecture built to support those add-ons made the browser as a whole inherently slow. Everything was quite siloed, and required a series of dynamic dispatches to accomplish any

> Stardew Valley, Celeste, Bastion Those are all games where the average frame time is so low GC pauses are basically irrelevant. And Minecraft was re-written in C++ for a reason.

I will note that Rust has all of those features you mentioned. 1) Traits 2) You have to be explicit, by implementing the Clone trait, otherwise arguments are passed by reference or moved. 3) Rust has both RAII and linear typing, which is ef
