I could be wrong, but the sentence "Flix precisely tracks the purity of every expression in a program." together with some examples of function definitions without the purity/impurity annotation, gave me the impression it&#x2

I don't think it's actually a problem. Taste can guide the direction skill needs to go.

If you fail to see the difference, maybe study the subject matter a little more?

Indeed, if I'm not mistaken Netflix at least used to use (and commit to kernel) FreeBSD on content servers because of its superior sendfile performance

But in that case it's hard to argue that llm's are cheap in comparison to search (the premise of the article)

Don't know if it was intentional, but your ramble reminded me of the lyrics of Losing my edge by LCD Soundsystem. However, as someone who also experienced most of this stuff, it was a fun read either way :)

This comment is very misplaced. I'm Dutch and I wrote my comment not because the retailer is German, but because it are desktop CPU sales figures from a single retailer whose customers seem to be primarily gamers.

Yeah, the title feels a bit misleading, because it's only true in a very narrow context.

The subject is the ability to make accurate up to date maps out of satellite imaginary. I fail to see how this is a counter argument against that.

Peak power draw is 12W, not 27W for the Rpi5 though.

> Germany, which a lot of Europeans don't have a positive opinion on (to put it mildly) Do you have a source for that, because that's not the impression I, as a non German European, have.

A bit pedantic I guess, but that still uses some syntactic sugar (optional brackets and keyword syntax). Removing all syntactic sugar would look like this: defmodule(Foo, [{:do, def(:bar, [{:do, "baz"}])}]) Even aliases (

Yes, using I/O as on/off, especially on power switches, for sure predates PlayStations.

So many memories playing around with a Spectra Video MSX as a kid. Mostly playing games, occasionally trying to draw stuf or making sounds using Basic. Some programs could only be started from msx dos. Later, when most households in the Net

Thanks a lot, that's quite the list and a good reminder to spend some more time browsing the Internet Archive!

I'm not OP, but I can at least give an argument against using a timestamp for sorting versions: for various reasons system time is not guaranteed to be monotonic, which can result in cases where newer versions would be sorted before ol

Just like the Truman Show movie, I have always felt it's a bit underappreciated. So many great performances in that beautifully shot movie and such an emotional roller coaster. Although in many aspects a totally different type of movie

What's the point of a comment like this? I think I disagree with your reply, but the lack of argument makes it difficult. While I wouldn't go as far as saying that elixir has the same benefits as lisp regarding uniform syntax in c

So loading an external library or framework isn't Vanilla JS, but if I copy/paste the VanJS source into a script tag, nothing gets loaded, there's no syntax magic, just some function calls, so that's Vanilla JS, right? I

Kubernetes and the BEAM are actually a great match. Kubernetes for management and supervision of nodes/containers and the BEAM for management and supervision of processes. I see them as complimentary technologies.

Bitcask was a storage engine created by basho for their riak db (dynamodb like distributed db). The other storage engine riak could use was google's levellb. At the time bitcask was as fast or faster than leveldb for most tasks. This w

You either need consistency or you don't. Raft is for systems that need this guarantee. If you don't need it, something like CRDT's can be used.

To me it seems that all social media platforms converge to some user hostile version of Reddit. You can argue that it got worse over time too, but it still is the platform that gives me most control over what I like to see. The other model
