A human driver at what percentile? I think AVs need to be better than p95 or so to be socially accepted.

It's not just about the engine itself, it's about things like supporting extensions. Safari's content blocker API is less powerful than Firefox's on desktop/Android, for example. I don't know how much of that i

That's Axios for you. I'm sure it appeals to some people.

If a company doesn't want at least some element of that, the solution is very simple: drop below a USD $10B valuation by spinning off parts of the company. Note that I said TEN BILLION DOLLARS. A "decacorn". That is an unfat

I generally think any company with a >10 billion (2023 US) dollar valuation should be forced to do things that may not directly benefit them but benefit society. Having to publish open specifications for all their proprietary integration

While one can bring a lot of nuance to the conversation, most imperative languages do not have the &/&mut separation that Rust does and are therefore bad. &/&mut is basically essential to writing correct code in an

It's just another reminder that Apple, like all other big tech companies, is full of mediocre software teams working on unreasonable deadlines.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. You can start your project in C and release it on an AS IS basis, and we can make fun of you for it, object to its use in professional contexts, and so on.

While yes, that's theoretically possible, do you have data to establish this? For example, having small sections of the code be marked as unsafe would allow for greater scrutiny of those sections. Also, unsafe access is more annoying t

Do you sincerely believe what Apple is doing is the least restrictive means to achieve that goal?

I found this site and switched to the secure knot many years ago, and my shoelaces have literally never come undone since. One of those quality of life improvements that I now take for granted.

> Rust type system doesn't help when the data resides in a shared memory segment accessed by multiple processes. This isn't quite true. You can provide a safe abstraction that involves cross-process locking APIs. https:/&

Thanks, Captain Obvious. The fact that both sides think they're correct has absolutely no bearing on who is actually correct. For that we must turn to evidence. The evidence in favor of trans healthcare and identities is overwhelming,

You've strung a lot of words together that are not attached to reality. Plenty of people are acting very scientifically with regard to trans people—there are hundreds of studies in this regard. "Correlation is not causation"

The difference between the two sides is that one is correct and the other is not, and that what "normal" (uninformed lay) people think is not really relevant. edit: Your response has no actual content in it.

This is a plague among high-IQ people like physicists, quant people and engineers (speaking as someone who has consistently tested 2.5-3 standard deviations above the population average). They're good at pattern matching which is rewar

There's the whole dialectic in history between structural and contingent factors. Valve and PC gaming is massively, massively contingent. It could very easily have been a much worse player at the helm.

You got downvoted because you didn't consider for even a second the game theoretic result of judging products based on the number of CVEs they've had.

This is Rust, which is a language that doesn't have data races (though other kinds of races are certainly possible). For an application like yazi async is likely a much more pleasurable experience to write code in than trying to manage

Yes, but Bazel requires an all-in commitment and also tons of work to fit the rest of the world into it.

I think there is certainly some value to that (the other posts don't appear to be fully grasping the complexity of the problem), but Earthly feels closer to an open source consultancy project than venture capital funded startup.

I think you can frame it as a neutral tradeoff in the abstract, but Dark Souls is a monumental piece of cultural heritage and is clearly and unequivocally better than gacha games.

You're voting with your wallet. Other people are allowed to vote to block you based on your vote. It's not a big deal.
