On its own it's not necessarily an issue, but I'd consider it a warning sign. The times in my life that I've obsessively played games like this have been times when my emotional health was suffering. I felt overwhelmed by l

You've got it exactly right, many people in the US care far more about compliance with and respect for authority than they do about rule of law.

The way it sounds from reading the article is X11's design fundamentally is that bad for modern hardware, which is why almost all of the active graphics development is focused on reimplementing a designed-for-modern-hardware replacem

Lifetime analysis matters a lot for way more than just garbage collection. File handles, iterators, mutex guards, database transaction handles, session types, scoped threads, anything where ordering or mutual exclusivity matters.

I've struggled quite a bit with problems that feel similar to your description. This book is what helped me the most: https://www.carolynspring.com/shop/unshame-paperback/

I disagree. While I agree that I haven't seen specific criticisms of Khan Academy being dangerous, I absolutely have seen both pervasive media messaging as well as real people in my personal life express and stand behind unconditional

How would you expect the response to something genuinely better to be different, in a non-culty way?

It doesn't baffle me; it seems pretty obvious. Given that huge populations are consuming sugar water daily, and given the health consequences of this, information on which type of sugar water has the least-bad long-term effects is extr

Having worked in SV for so long, it's hard to really imagine what this would actually look like. What are some examples of important work with decent pay in an inexpensive area that a SV tech worker could be good at?

If they don't want to bother with leap seconds, why are they even using UTC? Why can't they just use TAI instead?

For most people working a career as a programmer, how much of their time in that career is going to be spent as an inexperienced beginner programmer? I agree that Rust is a professional tool, designed for professional use. It's design

We already have a way, reference counting and locking, the same way it's handled in most dynlangs.

I am also not a biologist, but I apparently think I know some of this? Hopefully if I'm wrong enough, a real biologist can correct me. :) I think we're still very far from arbitrary genetic editing and whole genome design and sy

I do in fact plow unthinkingly into using concurrency quite frequently, and it works out quite well. I just unthinkingly use techniques like "just throw it in a dedicated thread", "put each stage in a thread, move objects be

There are things that are actually vaporware. It is reasonable and normal for people to actually say when they believe that something has a lot of signs of being vaporware. Are there really, truly no tools that you personally recommend aga

Yes, it's very different. Xe is predicting that V will die in obscurity, and recommending that people ignore it due to that prediction. Look at the second half of that comment: > There are good ideas there, but if you sell someone

If making sure references are valid is left up to the user, it's ridiculous to call this language safe.

I tried to find the source of the "V has to die" comment, and I see that you linked this in a previous claim that Xe said "V should die": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27442724 Actual quote from t

If you accidentally make a mistake when setting an array length in V, your program can read from uninitialized memory, as discussed in this article. This program, quoted from the article we're discussing, is accepted by the V compiler

You've misunderstood my intent. In "I checked several notable claims, and most of them are false", I was trying to say that most of the notable claims that the author decided to check were false. This is very different from

I was referring to both the original post, and Xe's older post that this comment thread is about. They both list claims made by V and describe details how they tested those claims and what their results were. https://mawfig
