> So even if “open core” is a strictly better model, we lack the intuition and experience to feel confident starting there. By thinking of Elm as the “open core” at first, we give ourselves time to learn and flexibility to expand the cor

The sensible regulation would be aiming at socially harmful features of tech, not forcing people to provide proof of identity to a third party in order to continue harming themselves with the same exact features. Imagine if such an approach

Do you think the attention and engagement is because people think this is some sort of an "ai misalignment" thing? No. AI misalignment is total hogwash either way. The thing we worry about is that people who are misaligned with th

Nothing changed, you need to know that host:port first, and that's where the problems with the official serverlist being flooded with fake entries become apparent.

That really is not a solution. Third party servers used to host plenty of non-standard gamemodes that Valve does not provide. Retakes, mentioned in the blogpost, is one of those modes.

Could it be that it gets no credit for things it got right because it got barely anything right?

I think you make a pretty bad case for how embedding a Scheme interpreter is going to help with the pain points of async. Listing "stack traces full of tokio code" and then seemingly proposing to solve that by adding more glue to

I'm not saying they are related, just saying that the committee committeing is going to take half a decade at least for both.

Yes, but Sonic Pi DSL feels a little more Lisp-y than natural language-y.

It does. Not sure if publisher can opt-out though. Another point is that Steam DRM is a) optional b) unlike always online GaaS trivial to circumvent

I may be projecting, but I feel like the kind of person to get excited about crafting interpreters wod also get excited about crafting databases or OSes.

All praise Bob! On a more serious note, have you thought about trying to aim lightning at the same spot again and write another book about implementing something most programmers take for granted?

It is a tool for checking that your unsafe code doesn't cause UB. It doesn't really settle anything, but the commenter uses it as a gotcha to say "rust is no better than C, because you still can compile code that contains UB&

I haven't tried Loco, but Rocket is not Rails-like. It does, to me, have the friendliest API among Rust frameworks, but it is nowhere near as battery-filled and opinionated as Rails.

From what I can tell, VCV is a bit higher level, I aim to let users combine individual parts into modules, as well as customizing their visuals. Also, funny thing but I did not know about VCV before today :)
