Maybe ridiculous, but not totally unprecedented. Aga Khan IV is generally considered to be royalty despite the fact that his family hasn't held secular power (outside of the occasional governorship) since [1095]( https://en.w

One possibility is that they have fewer regions than something like AWS, so they can put their data centers somewhere where they get favorable electricity/cooling costs.

Did you read the article? All the proposal does is allow the javascript engine to accept typescript-style syntax, while erasing all the annotations at runtime. From the browser's point of view, it would essentially treat the type annot

bindgen[1] already exists to autogenerate a rust API from c headers. It's inherently unsafe because C code is inherently unsafe. In particular, there is no language constructs like destructors or constructors, so you can't naively

This article is about Australian magpies, which aren't related to European Magpies and other corvids. They're known more for their extreme territoriality than for their intelligence, but OP's article clearly shows they'r

DRF was about as good as it got for automatic schema generation and data validation before python static type hints made things like pydantic possible. It also sets up good defaults for stuff like query parameter-based filtering, pagination

How does Guix compare to Nix? It seems like by using a scheme-based DSL instead of an ad-hoc configuration language, it solves one of the main complaints the author has about Nix.

They'd fare poorly, but for different reasons. Digital cameras can be vulnerable to IR lasers because their sensors are sensitive to infrared light. Human retinas aren't sensitive to IR, which ironically makes IR lasers more dange

Python does have real threading. The `threading` module provides os-level threads and synchronization primitives. The only difference between this and multithreading in C or Java is that CPython's GIL prevents more than one thread exec

Also office scanners. Basically, it's still a 2D image, but instead of two spatial dimensions, it has a spacial dimension and a time dimension.

Yeah, one of the major uses of http/3 is that it can gracefully handle connection interruptions and changes, like when you switch from wifi to mobile, without having to wait for the tcp stream to timeout. That's a huge win for bot

The solar cycle is extremely important for premodern agricultural societies, since it allows predicting growing and harvesting seasons. If you're going by the Julian calendar and the Autumn equinox is falling on September 10, there&#x2

"spaz" is indeed short for "spastic", but it's not typically seen as an ableist slur like it is in the UK. Presumably, the word had been out of use as a term for people with cerebral palsy long enough in the US that

It depended on the climate and society. Pastoralists living on the steppes almost exclusively lived off animal meat and dairy products, while folks in areas with heavy grain production were much more likely to get the vast majority of their

WebGPU also works as a simplified alternative to Vulkan or DirectX-12 on native platforms. I could see nodejs libraries using WebGPU compute shaders as an alternative to CUDA kernels that run on non-NVIDIA GPUs.

It's less about static checking than it is runtime debugging. When you have a syntax error in a template, Django's error reporting is super opaque about the problem, usually just raising a TemplateSyntaxError with a vague descript

It's borrowing the language typically used in the media to describe Middle Eastern ethnic conflicts to a European ethnic conflict. The same way it describes the U.K. as an "Oil Rich Kingdom" (which it is, of course).
