It's not a magic bullet — sometimes it's not practical — but Rust was built with interoperability with C/C++ in mind. Many Rust projects are built with C/C++ dependencies. Mozilla's use of Rust in Firefox is a good

Yeah. I think "Why not?" is a perfectly good answer.

This is based on the assumption that Rust will make you move more slowly — anecdotally, it does at times — and that this is a constant slow down. I disagree with that premise. Rust is imperfect, and can seem obtuse when you begin using it.

With the majority of the population living in cities on the coast. Sydney? Melbourne? Big, dense cities. We're not all out living in the bush shouting cooee at each other.

Andy Ngo is a well known far-right agitator, with a reputation for distorting events. What he recounts likely has a kernel of truth, but his reporting is suspect.

Oh lordy. The GCP docs. I straight up ignore them most of the time and just search for relevant guides elsewhere. So much of what Google puts up is marketing fluff, high-level descriptions, or at best a description of the happy-path to doin

This title is overstating the issue. End of the day, this is a tiny bit of interpersonal conflict/difficulties. Personally I'm always sensitive to systemic, toxic behaviour in programming communities and I'll jump on it if I

Don't be obtuse. It's pretty clear what type of men she's talking about from the get go. If the article is guilty of anything it's generalising somewhat, but that's a minor concern. Otherwise, it's on point. Notions of female purity are a l

Don't freak out. I'm personally dubious of most things he says. The ideas are often evocative, but I feel he has no grasp of the practical difficulties of his claims.

What is being described here is essentially first-class support for functional reactive programming behaviours. That the post misses this detail is curious considering that Elm is mentioned within the first paragraph; Elm has first-class s

Someone targeted with disgusting rape and death threats most definitely is a victim. At this point, what prompted them is irrelevant. What is important is to remember that it's not OK to threaten to torture, rape and murder someone. Obvious

This is what is called a false dichotomy. I could for example point out that Dennis Richie gets more attention than say… Norman Borlaug. Life and dying is not a competition.

Everybody involved in this is an arsehole and should be ashamed.

An article about how a journalist couldn't get an interview? What a load of horse-piss. It happens all the time, but most journalists lack the hubris required to turn it into a story about themselves.

I think focussing on the Senate run as an effort to avoid extradition is missing the point. It's two things. One is to actually try and do some good via a spot in the Senate. Cynicism might tell you that's not right/too simple. Ignore that

Sorry… it's HN, it brings out the finest pedantry in me.

I appreciate the humour, but he's running for Senate, not Parliament :)

by mr_eel 14y ago
Saying 'I might run for the Senate' is different to the announcement of a federal election and then confirming that yes, he definitely will run. If you don't think that's newsworthy, aaaaah, you're nuts.

The core assertion of this piece is that Tim Cook somehow ballsed up the supply chain. It makes this assertion without offering any numbers. This is called making-shit-up.

That's how covers work. They can be a nice thing — essentially quoting an artist you like — or they can be bullshit, like this. It's not illegal, but it's not ethical.

They don't need a Death Star for the murdering children when drones seem to be doing a fine job. I find it hard to be amused by a government's witty-japes-on-the-internet. People shouldn't be amused, they should be insulted. This is not hum

Also, a damn lot of this is marketing bullshit. I would suggest that if the author is going to make a website devoted to it they should at least learn to distinguish them.

First point; Most wind turbines haven't been in place long enough to actually say they're only lasting for half as long. So… yeah I smell a bit of horse pucky there. That said, the basic thrust of the paper seems right to me — although I ne

First male that says something like 'I've never seen any sexism in the field' has to leave Earth _forever_. Of course you haven't my dears, because you don't suffer it, you're blind to it.

You're gonna tell me you never got cut up about the way people treated you? You let cool logic rule you instead? Bullshit! It's a basic fact that most people don't like being routinely belittled and side-lined. That's got nowt to do with ge

Easy enough to call his manhood into question, but pretty ridiculous when you immediately say that "Not that the campaign against him wasn't overzealous and clearly politically motivated, etc." The abuse of the EAW and general excessive res

Underscore is not a kitchen-sink library. In order to keep it a terse library, Jeremy will need to constantly decide what goes in and what does not. I don't always agree with his choices, but I'm glad he's willing to be aggressive about wha
