It’s almost as if it’s not a single factor issue and insta could stand to improve its under-age content filters AND TikTok can also be a threat because of its ties to China.

There is some great cosmic irony here. A section about never needing to build, install, etc… just give me an executable. Followed immediately with an incantation for zig to build this project

It’s certainly been interesting watching the multi-decade arc play out. With Mach as the origins, everything other than tasks (processes) schedule and virtual mem was out of kernel and done over Mach port comms. Then xnu via next step and l

I’m not saying a lot of the comments aren’t without merit but I was actually surprised to see so much negativity. There are only a handful of funding approaches for languages. I would also say most of the funding they raised is going toward

A dumbed down interpretation. What most people can buy off the shelf for servers more or less looks like a pc shoved into an odd looking case (1u, 3U rack). To get anywhere near the cost / performance of the big players you need someth

philosophical nit picking here, I would say value-aligned rather than moral-aligned.

I worked closely with Bob at Square through most of the 2010s. I keep coming to write something but nothing could do it justice... I just feel numb at this news. So many of you have shared about how he impacted Java, Open Source, and being

Why is this being downvoted? It’s a simple explanation of Berkshire’s value investing approach

There is a bunch of well funded work to tackle validating various aspects of rust, the std library, and ecosystem. For example rust-belt led by Derek Dryer https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/

The physical form factor of the “type C” connector is great but that a good example of how broken things are is that anyone can stick that type of connector on pretty much anything - might be usb 1, might just be power delivery, might be us

Long story short, if you want to do something off the beaten path, you need to get to know some of the faculty. I also went to Waterloo but as a cs undergrad. I was also a student rep on the undergrad curriculum committee (this was all some

I think I very much agree with your points and approach to parallelism. > This applies to every data structure that can be defined algebraically. Is this a mutually true? I’d expect this to hold for inductive algebraic data types but not

And when you leave aside Java (the language) and consider the jvm platform broader ecosystem with all the various interoperable languages like kotlin, scala, clojure… it’s a huge space. I understand some level of heathy criticism but, I don
