It certainly wasn't a mistake in the beginning, but it's certainly a mistake now.

Can anybody say what is going to happen? It's not a rhetorical question, and the implied or entailed context might involve a Nash equilibrium of some sort. Right now the rate of signal is high, and the ratio of noise is proportionally

Proton is just emulation, and it will happily expose the underlying host system to the running game software. In particular the filesystem and some peripheral devices. However, Valve is moving towards sandboxing in Steam. You can already ru

The funny thing is even data structure is really an array of memory depending how low down deep one looks. All the people who took an intro computer science course knows, those who had to implement a heap allocator, it's all really jus

I'm not sure what you mean by some of the things you write, but the part about Microsoft being "cool guy phase" was hilarious. I'd say Microsoft buying GitHub was part of a strategy to not lose relevance in the world tha

As ridiculous or absurd as this idea might seem, it's probably the most succinct and likely effective response to this kind of situation. The UK is betting the rest of the world doesn't reciprocate.

The SLS was a good idea, and it's actually a great rocket. However you are correct in saying it turned into a huge program for the old school rocket industrial complex. I think the private sector currently does this better, or it'

You're right about the Rust static binary size. Hello world is really large, and it's unamusing how so much of the standard library is creamed into the resulting binary, no matter how trivial... Do you know the current status of d

This might seems like a rant for some of you, of even heretical to certain shell zealots... But it's about time we move past Posix compliance for shells. Don't get me wrong, it was a fabulous thing back in the 1980s and 1990s with

Yeah the existing managers left behind will probably be overloaded, because one person cannot scale over so many direct reports. So then perhaps Amazon has figured out how to scale middle managers so they can effectively manage multiples mo

You did raise a good point about latency sensitive brokers, and I feel like that is becoming a self-selecting cartel based around the NY/NJ area. So when you have these folks talking about moving to places like Houston or Dallas, in an

It is a Red Herring. That is because the Jones Act in context to the gross entirety of the USA and PRC economic relations is at best utterly irrelevant. Besides, you might find it interesting to learn that the protectionist parts of the Jon
