Same here. m2^2 ;) toying around with these kind of indices to detect / find repetitions for years already. Btw: what's the best source for these kind of one of a kind, contra-intuitive algos and datastructures? Be it online, be i

Maybe it's been stated already by someone else here but I really hope that CO2 pricing on the major Cloud platforms will help with this. It boils down to resources used (like energy) and waste/CO2 generated. Software/System D

Kudos! What an impressive collection of features and display of substantial development in almost all areas of the framework! What's the current status of OpenGl Support? Any progress there? It would be really "cool" and insp

- A little off-tangent maybe, but are there other professions where this kind of once important but today less important (as some claim) knowledge exists? Is this kind of "knowledge degradation" common in other industries? - On a

Nothing truly unexpected. Just one more shinny, almost perfect PR reaction... after the fact actually facts which "just incidentally?" helped the sales of newer/replacement products? That does neither give money back to ppl.

Sure. Sharing mostly the same view of this (hi)story... but: did those guys leave? lost their muses? What happened besides maturing and "standards"-lockdown... outside of some smaller bubbles and marketing gigs the whole eco-syste

I agree on the first 3... and most probably that's why I very strongly disagree on the last part. The way the languages "match" the environment in the first 3 examples is almost reciprocal to the way the language is a mismatc

Thinking about "the stack", runtimes , development processes and the root-causes involved here i think, the best thing that could happen to "the industry" is some event preventing the silicon production to deliver new cp

Okay, pure anecdotal but: exactly the same "complaint" including exactly the same advice (minus the "web" ) could be found some 20 years ago. Not only it seems the field is not "structurally" changing much,

Any "export-paths/pipelines" available to use the lib with After-Effects alternatives?

I don't know if you used the technique on your own post but I find my self strongly agreeing with it ;) Every technique, every tool, every idea can used for "good" and "bad". A problem I see is the massively overpow

-- 'other awareness' applied to yourself -- I find the work and ideas especially the "attention schema theory" of sentience, consciousness, self-awareness proposed by Michael Graziano[1] most compelling in that area; the

Aha! The natural English grammar pointer is a nice one... sure enough I now! remember the "natural language syntax" idea ;) I'm happy too, no doubt... I guess, given how long it already "survived" SQL is quite &quot

Maybe a little off topic: - What's the (hi)story behind SQL putting the SELECT clause first ? What are/were the benefits? - What's the (hi)story behind SQL even differentiating between FROM and JOIN? Isn't it in the end

Thanks for the insights! I did not mean to criticize servo or rust in any way... Any serious and non-tiny project will have areas like those you pointed out. I just think servo (and rust as its main 'tool') is a really great end

Thanks! "in-going data duplication" ummm... i guess i meant ;) duplication of the incoming data (network packets->buffers->resources like html-files etc) in the sense of trying to minimize the amount of data duplicated and m

Servo is using zero-copy parallel parsing of html, css and parallel rendering, right? Is it trying to reduce in-going data duplication? Any insiders (actually understanding this questions ;) who can comment on this?

"New" The papers and work on this theory go on for years already and its due time it gains more/wider public attention, imo. I wonder if it will cause/is causing already a kind of antropo-"disappointment" just

Hard to discuss without spoilers but do you mean story-time-wise or story-line-wise?

I love how the book manages to tell just 1/3 of the whole story ;)

For any non-trivial (code size, complexity etc) programming-problem there are programmers with little analytical skills but given enough time they will end up with code doing mostly the right things... unfortunately from the out side there

"But I can at least see how it could improve my life." This post goes intentionally against the constructive rules here, BUT this quote has to find its way into the "Silicon Valley" show. I bet it will. /scnr
