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's optional, because the compiler can infer it on its own most of the time.

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 (like Foo) are also a kind of syntactic sugar for a specific type of atom (Foo is actually the atom :"Elixir.Foo")

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 Netherlands where start getting PCs (80286/386/486 era), I felt right at home using msdos.

Nowadays I really appreciate vaporwave aesthetics and I'm sure it's because of being absorbed in the world of msx computers, including reading magazines and such, as a kid.
