I suppose we will tell them to vote for better laws? That last few years of being under 18 can feel completely immoral. "Study hard. Learn skills you will need in life." Meanwhile GPA inflation from unconcerned minders of publi

No, even the humans are dead. Both the "user configuration" and the library are configuration masquerading as code. One is dynamically evaluated, the other compiled. I just figure users of Zed know this... so what are we pretend

Lol. In 2015 boring technology is at the hands of your PM spinning up some agent spam. Bury this pile of outdated thinking. Go hard at the most difficult programming you can find or go home.

Is that the earthquake in question? No. So your hair-splitting is motivated by what again? Rationalizing HN overreacting so that people can be entertained? Everyone here is "winning" an online argument with zero regard for the

Okay. Let's make every such instance news? HN is exaggerating to feel close to the action. It's childish. There is a trench off of Tokyo that is likely to rupture in our lifetimes, and people who have other people to check on do

8 is serious. 9 is Pacific subduction rupture. 7 is not really top news of the day. People with friends and family exposed don't really appreciate being false-alarmed with 7s and 6s.

It can't be one language, and that's the big problem. It's inescapably a bunch of tiny DSLs. Once you see both the inconsistency and the necessity for inconsistency, it becomes much easier to just roll with it.

Just like how the web was won? I think Mozilla is chasing a past formula, but the projection isn't linear enough to remain consistent, and the critical parts of the outcome, utter centralization of the market dominance of the three C&#

The OS running the program isn't even perfect. I tire so much of complainers who want someone else to make all their tools infallible yet want to do nothing. Let's just full-stop there. They not only want to avoid working on the

Present-to-present time, especially while we wait for VK_EXT_present_timing to become adopted, can only be indirectly measured. This makes just-in-time rendering unnecessarily hard. High-accuracy event timings can only be made for renderi

What these hardliners are standing for, I have no idea. If the code passes review, we're just arguing about hues of zeros and ones. "AI" is an attribute that type-erases entirely once an engineer pulls out the useful expres

That's so wonderful. Glad you got your grievance's about ESR off your chest. Hopefully in the following forty years, you will be able to move on from events from the previous forty years. It's all still supporting the acc

This... reaction to one of my other comments... Stating facts is nice, but the conclusion you're trying to get to is just a tangent about ESR. In 1988. How do you relate this to arguments I made? > later criticised when it was oth

I used a similarly shaped argument with different nouns to highlight the ambiguity, and now you see why that's problematic. Don't just make blind assertions without linking it back to some concrete, at least arguing that some mec
