I believe they mean token costs aren't a concern when you're not paying for a SOTA model via API, and are instead running local models. Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters, and all that.

Why wait until then? The loudest and earliest crash you can get is a failure to compile with a rich type system (obviously, when possible).

Program logic fundamentally has to contend with different conditions. Sometimes the user will be logged in and have friends, sometimes they won't. The "maybe" style has the inconsistency embedded in the type system; it's

The ISO UK keyboard layout exists. The North American keyboard layout is North American, not "English".

It's asymmetric; it is significantly easier to make a clear image harder to read than it is making a fuzzy image clearer, and the same applies to data sets. There might be swaths of teams all focused on enriching the data, but you even

That's understandable; if you look at the slides and see all of the integrated features in one big blast, you're going to think "holy moly this was not meant for mortal men". In a way that's correct, because ultimat

I'm sure you probably discovered this by now, but the image is kept in memory until it is "saved" via the Save menu. The UX could probably do with some improvement showing that the image is not automatically saved to disk, li

Symbol.for("a") != Symbol.for("b") Perhaps you meant Symbol.for("a") for both?

Personally, I'd say Lua and its family of small, easy languages more easily fills those roles. Not that I doubt some people do voluntarily enjoy JavaScript, but because of the sheer volume of StackOverflow questions, blog posts, micro-

I'd wager a lot of this popularity is correlation, not causation. A lot of its popularity stems from being the dominant browser scripting language. This causes it to be popular with back-end frameworks for code re-use and shared develo

Please do not compare all of the UK's immigration services with the way one customs agent handled their bad day.

I think that the author does get the pun; they made another of a similar calibre in the title of the post! Their main objection to the pragma would seem to be the MONKEY-SEE-NO-EVAL name; if you don't understand the reference, say you&

But.. they are exploiting people. That's literally what they are doing; expecting people to purchase these tickets at a higher cost for the simple reason that supply is short.

For some people, deep sleep itself doesn't "feel" fulfilling, and justify it as simply dead time in 24 hours. A lot of people quickly reverse that sentiment once they try having a consistent schedule of high quality sleep.

Isn't that the whole point of this post though? They've allowed you to edit files marked as "system files" despite a multitude of warnings, and now so many people have fucked up doing so that they've issued a strong

I think your "death by a thousand cuts" comment really resonates with me; but it is a point against MacOS (and Windows!), not for. Yes, most things "just work". But if something just doesn't quite work in the way yo

Probably a long, long shot, but do you have any plans to create ISO layout boards in the future? Since most ISO boards only differ in keycap and not layout, it would theoretically be possible to create a massive number of configurations wit

I don't think they were quoting Matz as justification for why Python is wrong, they were quoting Matz to justify why what they don't like about Python isn't the wrong way. The whole point is that every language has something

Why? The onus isn't on a person who has given you the evidence to prove you wrong to invalidate their own evidence. You don't have to "spend the paragraphs of effort", just provide something which shows their evidence, w

It seems detrimental to the cause to simply say "You are wrong, your evidence is wrong, and I'm not going to tell you why.", let alone the unnecessary insults.
