It could be a nice article if it wasn't full of mistakes and incorrect assumptions about mechanisms and their origins, unsubstantiated statements, and so forth. Right now, it sounds like an Ada fanfic - a misinformed one, to be more pr

Yes, you are correct. It was meant as "end user OSs", and indeed some requirements are on the end user OS. However, it is still not the same as California's law since it only describes the provision of "age bracket"

Sidesteps by not providing the same level of functionality. As an analogy, it would be equivalent to say that "contrary to an airplane, a car sidesteps the problem of requiring wings". Yes, indeed - but it doesn't fly.

It would have taken the same time, if not less, given the extra time for mitigations, trying different optimization techniques, runtimes, etc. One of the reasons the project was killed was that we couldn't port it to our line of low po

My experience is the exact opposite. This was particularly true for one of the projects I've worked with in the past, where Python was chosen as the main language for a monitoring service. In short, it proved itself to be a disaster: j

It is not - and given its stance on memory safety, it will hardly ever be.

I believe any reasonable person could understand the previous comment is about the rules themselves, not about a statement in the CoC saying where they apply or not. Also, the fact that the website is not covered by the CoC makes it worse,

You are dressing the events in your interpretation and stating them as truth. The events you mention above are cherry-picked bits of information to support what you have said from the beginning. For instance, in what you said above: you are

I used OCaml extensively for a few years, around the time of OCaml 3 and OCaml 4, and I can add a few cents to this discussion. Some of the points listed here can be considered a matter of taste or opinion, some are indeed pain points, and

This wasn't clear for me from the question, though I understand where you are coming from. Investing is certainly not as risky as people from outside of Brazil generally think it is, since the banking system is well regulated and the l

Kind of an odd conclusion to take from a weird question. I would not subject myself or my property to a foreign court system for various reasons, but first and foremost because I'm not subject to their laws. If I'm on Brazilian te

Not the person you are responding to, but just as an FYI: in Brazil right now there are certain groups attempting to stamp political motivation on the decisions of the upper judiciary and discredit its impartiality and capacity to judge. Th

It's ludicrous to read the article and notice how hard they are trying not to blame the victim, as if a child going through bullying and seeing that nobody around them cares to actually do something is somehow in the wrong when they re

Keep in mind this is PHP. There are tons of languages and frameworks made by developers who know what they are doing that do not treat everything blindly like strings. For SQL in particular, you should never build queries directly from use

There's a false dichotomy in this whole discussion: for instance, a third option is having the interface as a separate declaration. A simple example using traits (Rust): // logger.rs trait Logger { fn log_so

You are mistaking geographical location with citizenship. Laws from Brazil apply to you while you are in Brazil - even if temporality - regardless of your nationality.
