This idea of scaling graphics up and down instead of rendering at the display native resolution with size measurements in dpi-independent units was so bad. I understood it to be a neat trick, when the first retina displays were relased. But

I am a former fan of extreme static typing, think Haskell higher-order type-classes fan. So, yes, I understand the value. But everything you build is very brittle in the face of changing requirement. When requirements seem to change because

The value of static typing depends very much on the application domain. In a closed-world application domain where you can be reasonably sure that you know upfront all entities, their attributes, their valid ranges, etc, static typing is ex

> But the hard part needs to be regular computer science and the AI comes second. Yes, indeed. The AI could be used to prefilter the list of warnings generated by static analysis to reduce the amount of false positives. To achieve that a

Read the source, Luke. Really, read the only two words Elon Musk commented about this topic [1]. This article is completely overblown, borders on deceit in my opinion. [1]: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/18303905028

Why offline? You go to your bank web page, login, enter the recipients account information (EBAN) and press transmit. Or you have that automated from SAP or a number of other software products.

This setup eats your freshly created files if you forget to run the rsync command before switching to the other computer. Not so nice. Unison [1] can avoid that problem by having some state on each side. Therefore, it always knows whether a

Counter example: blender. It may not be winning in video editing, but it has serious market share in 3d rendering. Different players are investing money in it and extend it with their own stuff.

Yes, but well optimized math heavy software will already max out the super-scalarity of the FPU. I.e. one cpu thread can already schedule multiple fpu-heavy instructions at the same time. If you run such software twice on the same fpu you w
