Well they don’t need Reddit to see who is seeding. But posting to Reddit can easily be done through Tor or proxies.

I once discovered that a very large org had AD configured in such a way that you could see “last seen at” timestamp for everyone profile in the company. It would have been trivial to track everyone’s hours using this, which would likely hav

The hardware is better because of RnD, funded by high margins due to software lock-in. Not sure why people struggle to see the connection here.

How would most things work on such a small screen? I think the Apple Watch will become increasingly standalone.

There was also much more low hanging fruit back then. Making significant contributions to a field only required scratching the surface.

This is the problem. Microsoft does not have a strong product function in Windows so no one can push back on this bullshit in the first place.

I once would have agreed with you, but the advertisements and pushiness in Windows are simply unacceptable at this point.

How would they define lisp? To me Lisp means programs in list syntax with prefix notation.

To me what’s missing is a functional programming language that is statically typed and has an extreme emphasis on performance. C++ meets Haskell, but not terrible.

Zig, Odin and Jai are the main contenders. I don’t think backward C compatibility is a good idea, since the C syntax has issues. Instead a transpilation tool from C could be built.

C# is more like Java than C++

Quite funny, but I want people to advance the state of the art. Does C++ / Java / Python really represent the high water mark of programming languages? I sure hope not…

Exclusivity made everyone think so. Groundbreaking marketing, for a webmail service.

Immutable structures cannot be cyclical. Maybe I’m missing something?

Wow, you could be describing me at 9. I even did the pages of design drawings all over the place! what worked for me is to start with Game Maker from YoYo Games. You can get started with drag- and-drop GUI blocks, but eventually move to a B

USA is a large closed economy. China is a large open economy. I’m simplifying, but the bottom line is China definitely doesn’t want a Cold War scenario.

This is why I’m sympathetic to direct action. What on earth else can young people do? But boomers can only think about being made late for work

Is there good evidence behind this view? I don’t mean to be rude, but I’ve only seen it from reactionary commentators and right-leaning news outlets.

Drives me mad when people just fling ChatGPT responses over the wall and expect me to do the quality control. If that’s all you bring to the table… well, I can use ChatGPT myself and we can save on head count.
