How much more value did those commits create than in 2025? But that discards my point, which is that you should probably have been prevented from pushing all those to github unless you were paying them for it, but you weren't because t

Rust binaries are not static by default, they _statically link other crates_ by default. Subtle but important distinction.

I mean I get that novice programmers might get tripped up on floating point representation but if you don't know "f32 can't represent 0.1 exactly" then you shouldn't yet be worried about the nuance of relaxing IEEE

What bothers me about the D'Addario thing is that it never crossed the mind of that employee or the company what they're doing was wrong. Their customers are musicians. They want to hear what the strings sound like in a demo. What

The one thing that falls over is that the webhooks are actually self modifying code since you have an 'on commit' webhook that bootstraps the actions logic from the workflow.yaml file(s) (which are not really config files, they ha

I'm not sure that it's that mind boggling. The entire complexity and value of GHA is not in the runners but the scheduler that the GH frontend hooks into and runners subscribe to jobs from. It's the most likely thing to fall

The point I'm making is they're not entitled to scale a business if they can't scale responsibly
45.
by duped 1mo ago
But they couldn't possibly do it at that the scale they're operating at. They couldn't hire enough people in the countries they operate, or know the language, or trust that who they do hire aren't corrupt or working agai

No, I'm thinking of improperly stored gasoline evaporating and combusting.

Poorly stored gasoline can spontaneously combust, though. So more like a firebomb.

You don't find it useful that use after free, double free, uninitialized memory, and many kinds of race conditions are just impossible in code that compiles? What exactly is the low level subset you feel like you can't use?

People find it immensely useful in practice, though.

I think the word "taxonomy" is a really good way to look at music theory. Really, the study is about giving names and notation to things in music so we can write and talk about it at all. There's an interesting idea though th

You should understand language before debating vocabulary. I am quite well read on political philosophy and history, and I will continue to call out fascists when I see people talking like fascists. Rhetorically, what you're doing is c

Almost any system that limits participation in democracy will be abused to disenfranchise people that those in power do not want to give a voice. So you're coming at this from the wrong end. The goal is explicitly to keep the poors fro

Please don't make the word "lawfare" a thing. It was invented by a criminal to argue that being investigated for his crimes was somehow corrupt.
