That's trailing and mighty impressive. However when you decided to quote Q1 earnings. $62bn of Q1 earnings ends up at only $10bn. The LTM numbers are less relevant. AI-related capex is one hell of a drug.

Tighter (read better) integration with VSCode and Github than what you could get running claude code on the side. Your question does raise a valid point - Github Copilot's value proposition is fairly limited in my opinion. Not to say w

>It doesn't look like a duck Some special amendment procedure is not the only or even defining feature of constitutional law. There is non-constitutional law that has this property and there is constitutional law that does not.

Repo hosting is the kind of thing that ought to be distributed/federated. The underlying protocol (git) already has the cryptographic primitives that decouples trust in the commit tree (GPG or SSH signing) with trust in the storage ser

You're not adding the +nightly switch and the required flags to compiled std. Just setting panic=abort in cargo.toml isn't enough. One can get binaries pretty damn small (low-mid tens of kilobytes for a basic cli program doing som

I can't speak for you personally but I think its simpler than that - Java is unfashionable because it's ubiquitous. It's the Ford of programming languages. Not every problem needs a Ferrari - indeed its bad for the organizati

Also - don’t discount all the new features JVM and Java have added or are adding: virtual threads, structured concurrency, FFI, class primitives, SIMD. JVM is highly compute performant given its GCd. I’m not even a Java dev but I respect it

Firstly, as long as there is still a broad need for software engineers - there is a future for Java. Together with dotnet - it has huge market share of enterprise middleware, lots of web backends. Its future in some segments is extremely sa
