human extinction is far more likely if we keep reproducing than if we slow down. See: climate change etc

"sometimes" is doing a lot of work there.

Sometimes it is, but also sometimes it isn't, and Rust at least gives you a choice (you can use Arc all over the place, or if performance is critical you can be more careful about specifying lifetimes)

it's both the economic relationship but also because the Conservative government defunded metrication in the 80's about halfway through it's timeline.

in terms of things that the government provides to the public, absolutely. The US is incapable of doing anything other than through the military.

probably?

even if the LLM is trained on flawless C code (which it isn't) it still has no way of reasoning about a complex system, it's just "what token is statistically most likely to come next"

did an oil industry write this?

other than to ensure a cheap exploitable workforce, who cares? Why is it a bad thing?

that's not even a league of "who is the best athlete" it's a league of "who is the best athlete willing to destroy their body"

> There's very little voluntary about signing up to rules that you're required to sign up to in order to have a career in your field.

The rules are signed well before a career even becomes an option. Everyone who holds a race license, even if you buy a bike yesterday & start your first race today, signs the anti-doping agreement

It's probably better for both companies that he isn't. Better for him to torch a $6b series B and Twitter than mess up spacex & tesla more than he already has

That's an argument about Windows being production ready though, not Postgres...

we must imagine Sisyphus happy...

I'm bearish only in so far as I feel LLM's are not completely useless, but they'll be as revolutionary as spellcheck was. Which is to say, it'll make a few jobs a bit easier.

GraphQL is great if you're a frontend developer. REST is great if you're a backend or infra developer (not because of complexity of developing it, because of complexity of using it)

You cannot satisfy both with one tool. Migrating to GraphQL (or choosing it in the first place) will frustrate consumers of it who primarily use your API for things other than writing frontend clients. Using REST will frustrate people who use your API to write frontend clients.

The only reason companies are mandating RTO is because C suite and investors are heavily leveraged in commercial real estate.

It doesn't matter that it's worse for the company it's better for their portfolio to force people in to go get disabled by covid
