Interesting project but whoever decided "forM" is a good name for a language keyword should be made to gurgle Tabasco sauce for a few minutes.

Gotta be honest, this isn't very inspiring : "Wait, division by zero is zero, really? Yes. But focusing on this is a bit like focusing on the color of the seats in a spacecraft."

Ah thanks for the insights and references. And yes I'm still curious why this definition of div/0==0 is needed in the context of Flix

"Controversial: Flix defines division by zero to equal zero." Wait what. Can I read up on the motivation somewhere?

by remon 1y ago
Curious if anyone can weigh in on why Flix requires a developer to explicitly mark a function as pure. I'd imagine in almost all cases this can be derived through static analysis.

Well, it's a fact, not a narrative. I think the actual debate is whether or not boosting economies of countries in the EU that for one reason or another were or are behind on the curve is a net win. I think it is. Just as it is perfect

In what way? Both need a constitutional change for every country this distinction is relevant for.

That currency has a fixed exchange rate to the euro. Any perceived sovereignty benefits are fictitious.

Being able to buy groceries with euros is not a strong, or even related, argument to the point you're making. Even ignoring the real economic cost of having two currencies, there is no serious economist that would argue Poland joining

Some of these make "lightweight" a bit of a stretch. Per-pixel iterative shaders are probably a performance/battery risk for most applications.

Author is not wrong, but boy do I get annoyed with tech articles with this sort of "listen up you dumb f*cks..." tone.

So far there are zero data points on the success side of the fence when it comes to visual programming. The exceedingly rare times I come across it professionally it's a toy project or something that's basically in the state of &q

I know people are going on about privacy and that's fair but easily sorted with the appropriate data privacy policies and actually adhering to your commitments in them. If you are approaching this from a potential business perspective

Honest question; what does OSI actually do? I am involved with a number of OS projects and not once has OSI come up in any context, be it compliance, governance, education and so on.

There's a significant performance issue. There's no good reason for a few ovals and texts to stutter on my system. May be worth investigating.

If the random user ID is truly anonymous (so, cannot be linked back to an identifiable person even with other data you have), it is not personal data under GDPR and no obligation to inform or consent is needed. If the data processor stores

Well, sure, if you're exceptionally picky about non-normative use cases you can probably find a use for it that is not harmful to the average person. But you're doing a lot of heavy lifting already to justify a positive use case (

That's reversing the argument. I'm not saying quitting X is bad for X, I'm saying quitting X is good for you. Nobody's completely immune to whatever that sociological experiment is turning into and staying on X is likely

Maybe we're disconnecting. Cookies are just a standardised way to communicate a small key/value set between client/browser and server through HTTP headers. It's not inherently (in)secure, sensitive, etc. There are zero t

At this point you're actively contributing to the death of free speech if you're still active on X in any way. There are no excuses to use it still if you have any sort of functional moral compass.

by remon 2y ago
Sure but any probabilistic approach is either relatively inaccurate reduces it's usefulness for this use case, or accurate which raises the same identifiability concerns cookies would introduce. I guess my point was; this has been thou

This almost always resolves to "not using actual cookies, but exactly the same privacy and security paradigm as cookies"

I'm not super invested in this debate one way or the other but arguing a comment should be part of your data rather than documenting what data is contained is a bizarre take on the question. Either be of the opinion it's a data fo

Nah this isn't a big word salad issue. The content is fine. It's just clearly a text written by humans and then rewritten by an LLM, potentially due to the original author(s) not being native speakers. If you feel it's natura

It's neither. I remember them moving to the cloud but apparently they moved to Google/Oracle (the latter making this article particularly interesting btw). As per the relevant press release : "It’s understood that Uber will c

It's sort of funny how can you immediately tell it's LLM sanitized/rewritten.

Their entire setup seems somewhat suspect. I can't think of any technical justification for needing 21k instances for their type of business.

Impressive numbers at a glance but that boils down to ~140qps which is between one and two orders of magnitude below what you'd expect a normal MySQL node typically would serve. Obviously average execution time is mostly a function of
