> I don't think this is true either - a large part of the Rust community seem to think that it's as complicated as it needs to be. As a beginner/outsider, I found it kind of cumbersome to get started with, but that's

If you care very much about not ever ending up in a bad state (which it seems that you do). Then just functional programming with immutable state is not going to cut it. In this realm you should look into methods of formal verification to p

And all that can be done by the mov instruction no need to learn anything other than mov.

But is it slower than sha1? Which is the alternative if you don't roll your own in V8.

Immagine a world where every framework / API / database had its own incompatible UUID format. Without a standard specification that's where we would end up. Do you want to live in such a world?

Some systems expect UUIDs so you don't always have that choice.

Well I mean in many countries, blocking the surveillance agency from listening in on your calls/texts/chats is illegal. So making an app that interferes with the agencies ability to "listen in" is infact a criminal ente

What would that "something other" be? If the goal is to talk to a SQL database the output from the LLM would benefit from being SQL.

I dunno, upper management normally move onto greener pastures long before reality comes crashing down. That does not happen until two managers over. But that's okay the new plan will fix everything.

I have heard this before but never really understood it. Take this: ``` int bar(int arg); // May throw int foo(int arg) { int b = bar(arg); return b * 5; } ``` VS: ``` Error<int> bar(int arg); // Uses

If only this was how it worked :( From my experience a substantial fraction of programmers learn the absolute minimum to get a job. Then they either learn on the job or ask the same questions over and over again, never learning. The latter

From my granted limited understanding Adam is basically gradient decent combined with heuristic search.

> For a start, String objects are going to be different everywhere. Even in C++, one library's String object isn't going to be binary compatible with another. How is the data laid out, does it do small string optimisation, etc?

Why do you think that?

Am I? I think not. You are saying that you would rather live a shorter time in good health than a longer time being unhealthy at the end. I am saying that the day will come when you start to deteriorate, get aches, getting slower, maybe eve

Hard does not matter. If it takes the new life 100k years to go from agricultural to the industrial revolution rather than the 10k years it took us they will still get there. What I am saying is that it's not impossible to have an indu

Having excess energy is great! We can use it for alot of useful stuff. For example to: - Recycle waste products. Most (not all) things are recyclable you just need the energy. - Grow food vertically so more land can be nature. - Siphon gree

You can still use water and wind which are also powered by the sun.

They will adapt or die and something will replace them. Diversity will go down for a while and then back up again. It's almost impossible to sterilize Earth and as long as something lives on it will eventually flourish again. It will n

It's only the engineers problem if the engineer has signed a contract specifically stating that they have to work overtime in emergencies. If not then it's the company's problem.
