I don't think any C compiler has been single pass for the last 20 years. Typescript's analyses are also not that complicated, it's just that the typescript type checker is written in js. Iirc the actual ts -> js part is pr

The $50 million punishment feels so insubstantial to Microsoft that they probably wouldn't even think twice before doing similar things again or worse. Only things that could threaten the bottom line would actually make companies recon

If this can't run full-local, isn't that basically a botnet? You're talking about installing a kernel-level driver that receives instructions on what to do from a cloud service.

This headline seems misleading; the way I'm reading this, it's still just a request to the courts, who will make the final decision right?

If companies are already willing to obscure chat logs, what's to say they won't begin manufacturing artificial logs (or editing existing logs) under this kind of pressure?

This entire article feels like it was written by ChatGPT. For instance, it continuously makes vague claims about the value of open source without even citing the original bill.

Same experience here, React is actually very good about backwards compatibility, and for anything that is pervasive, codemods via jscodeshift works pretty well too. I have had to make changes to the build system for the React system I maint

Without releasing source code and a transparent client build process this kind of claim is just kind of ...useless? If anything tells me they can't see my data and the client isn't completely in the open then I have 0 shred of con

exciting to hear! I only wish i had more time to contribute. Has there been any movement on migrating away from long polling (#475)? I didn't see anything about it in the announcements or comments despite such a big milestone

I wish that reputable reporting on this kind of topic would start putting accuracy next to what it can reportedly do. I remember visiting a machine learning poster session where many of the posters reported results with accuracy as low as 3

I think this article confuses "simplicity" with "less code". Often times when we talk about simplicity, it's about overall conceptual design, and on the note of dependencies, it's often _more_ simple to use som

> A benefit of atproto users is that they are transferable without needing an active server This is not exactly true, it just means the server that holds ur data (traditionally instance or home server) doesn't need to be involved in

That's not the worst I've seen, either. Some other password sins include: - the password validation fails for reasons not listed entirely - the password box truncates passwords silently

It seems to me that a lot of the problems discussed in this thread (it's using a new protocol that doesn't work with existing tools, it uses crypto, handles auth in the protocol, server can goes down) are just frustrations that do

I know this isn't really related to the whole copying ethics debate, but I definitely feel like there's some sort of foul play happening here. For all of the unlicensed projects out there, the license that is automatically granted

Yeah... looking at this it seems like there's still some gaping holes, for example specifying javascript in particular leaves WebAssembly open which is arguably worse than non-free javascript, and anything server-side is just ignored,

Isn't the real advantage of using things like build systems the ability to customize the output build? You don't really see all this stuff going on behind the scenes but stuff like autotools and auto-generating Makefiles is much o

Arial (and Segoe UI now) should be readily available to windows users, and sans-serif should cover the rest I think.

I don't get what the fear around building is. Many static site generators don't even require you to install additional toolchains[0], so churning out static HTML content from markdown should be just as easy. It's better to sp
