The problem is that those developers are also going to forget to update the ignore-by-default .gitignore to allow files, so there will be missing files. And they won't see any problems, because it works on their machine.

The world is too mutable for it to exist as a decentralized system, you can set up all these permascrolls and enfilades and tumblers and stuff. But someone is going to see profit in making two-way links one-way or altering the permanent rec

Some people are actually interested in programming, coming and bleating about LLMs making all the finer points of it unimportant is as clueless as a manager coming here and telling us that syntax is unimportant because he has programmers fo

A couple of examples what's missing from C from a low level perspective: Multiple return values (why can't I have a function using more registers than rax or the stack to push back more values?), sane varargs, stack manipulation (

C isn't an iota more fundamental than say Modula-2. It's just more popular. And C is very bad at being a low level language. There are plenty of things that you can express in assembly that you just can't do in C. And then th

That wasn't what it seemed like at the time. Amazon didn't post profits, sure, but they sure as hell weren't a giant money suck either, they didn't need billions in financing to run their business. There were a lot of Am

Deciding on an ISA like RV32I only sets constraints on your architecture, it doesn't give you any of it for free. So I think it's entirely valid to say that it's a custom architecture if they didn't use any pre-existing

I think this largely is about brand protection. They worry that discounting the clothes means they will just cannibalize sales of that brand's full-price clothes.

That's not for you to choose, and I'm glad someone is taking on the thankless task of correcting all your misinformation.

I'm a bit surprised that Red still seems stuck at 32 bits, like it was last time I saw something about it years ago. What is the roadblock that prevents them from building 64-bit binaries? I guess it must be very hard since otherwise i

It's a complete fantasy that Debian maintainers do a thorough review of changed packages. It's not a responsibility they have, and it would be impossible anyway (how many packages are there in Debian? How many maintainers are ther

Allow me to propose a modest alternative to space data centers, namely mountaintop data centers. This would consist of a container full of servers and GPUs and what else goes into a data center, a wind turbine for power and a communication

If the slaver is a human, other humans will judge them by human standards. Keeping the slaves ignorant of their condition and alternatives should not make it any more acceptable (if for nothing else since that is something you could easily

I wouldn't be so pessimistic, Intel and AMD aren't going to stop making CPUs, and if their integrated graphics adds AV2 it will be motivation enough for others to follow.

This doesn't compare like for like, since its comparing the total cost for the local machine with the usage cost for the cloud service, despite the cloud service also needing a local machine to be useful.

I find all those arguments unconvincing. The right 10,000 lines of code can be worth a billion dollars. The idea that it would be somehow uneconomical for me to take the time to get it right feels like utter nonsense. I don't have to h
