Rust is a high AND low level lego due to type composition and ability to directly address memory with no hacky garbage collection required.
Garbage collection is a bad idea when your state machine is basically a stateless request response cycle that can fit in n stack frames and has a defined lifetime ending in the response.
Interpreted languages calculate runtime code paths on an ad-hoc basis and are subject to bugs that a binary executable will never encounter.
One can objectively state that Interpreted languages and their virtual machines are LESS DETERMINISTIC than binary executables whose runtime code already exists at compilation time.
Of course, shared libs and other things that violate the spirit of the above can wreak havoc with even binaries, however the executable is a finite artifact.
Why is no one mentioning embedding a js bundle in an htmx rendered page?
Whatever the final reality of feature availability, the conceptual damage had been done: Apple was bandwagon leaping and we had no choice.
I will never buy another Apple device for other reasons, not least of which are the short support period and ever increasing enshittification of the operating system.
I have not been a fan of anything developed since roughly steve jobs passing. Touch bar?! No thanks.
The truth of the matter is that i see the light and insist upon a world where open source software, standards compliance, and end user choice MATTER, and matter more than corporate profits for an already too large and corrupt behemoth.
Apple is a company, not your friend
Goatcounter or Plausible will do fine. Some decent frontend log parsing will also be a viable strategy.
Stop feeding Google your customers data for free.
Windows has been broken since XP and linux desktop has been usable for decades now.
I refuse to buy more computers preloaded with windows or built with ANY consideration of what incompetent Microsoft want.
Why do we accept being spat upon and treated like basement bums when we put our money on the table???
You basically vomited a series of pop cultural phrases and managed to paint a clear picture with them, but i question your very mental boxes.
It's a bubble
Some of us see decadence driving many features on mature graphics applications, coupled with rentseeking on 30 year old code. If it's NOT 30 year old code, why is it seeking to replace funcioning code? Rentseeking.
I find GIMP satisfactory for my remaining raster graphic needs. I prefer vector graphics applications for anything that is not a photograph...
Also, this person has no apparent notion that code may need to serve machine needs as in, try writing python with significant whitespace over a TTY or other linear stream...
Horses for courses.
Wait til he finds out about memory management.
I didn't get any further with this train of thought, but i thought of smarmy shiny-clothed grifty realtor types worrying about the placement of a fridge in a mcmansions kitchen, and how so much of interior design has become ikea airbnb style for flipping rather than living in.
Perhaps turning houses into status symbols instead of shelter has a down side.
I suspect mortages are a relatively recent invention, and that this is why moneyed families had grand houses and poorer folk had self-built hovels a century ago.
It is a rather stupid idea to embed 1200 plastic bags into earth.
First of all, filling them and stacking took me 1 year of work. rendering them takes ages, and depending upon the UV coating on the plastic, they burst after variously 1 month to 3 months exposure to full sun, leaving a confetti of microplastics in your soil...
A plastic bag house is a rather dumb idea. Been there. Done that.
Biden is most certainly not "behind" this assassination attempt.
I heartily disagree with what i see as your projection on nearly all your comments here.
Please step back, you are taking this down an unwelcome road
Any Texans wanting to talk about their special case can have a look at Iberia and its meteorology, for example.
The notion that North American weather is anomalistic is false.
The above comment should not be grayed out, yours should.
You are placing your political fantasies above reality on the ground.
It is absolutely factually correct to describe Texas political and electrical administration as - anthropogenic climate change denialist
- corruptly in thrall to fossil fuel, including 'natural' gas plant expansion where the actual grid is the issue
- averse to integrating with the electrical grid from nearby states, as others do, and averse to standards and standards compliance.
The number of people moving to Texas and your instant deflection towards California bashing are unacceptable in a mature conversation on this topic.
As of 2024, any sponsored social media campaign by corporate actors, for example, can don the Guy Fawkes mask and claim popular support.
I see this on a daily basis on social media. Quite often the group calling itself "Anonymous Collective" or somesuch appears to be big oil, spouting anti-government rhetoric. The real Anonymous would point out corporate levers behind governmental acts, etc.
The stupid thing keeps trying to get me killed, is unresponsive to the most obvious urgings, and insists upon joking around when i need some info NOW.
I also have issues with most map apps and using them for navigation. It seems that the UI designers for these things never consider difficulty in seeing the crucial details on a small screen at high velocities with small glances.
I need the remaining KM until that turn, in large numbers, Google.
At the end of the day, despite being an allegedly technical person, I find smart phones to be rather difficult to use for their intended purposes. I have had immense difficulty in answering phone calls with mysterious swipes that at least this horrid samsung willfully ignores, laughing at me in derision, no doubt.
I don't get along with smart phones.
Sure, it lets you ship that app with postgres, clickhouse, redis, rabbitmq, task runners, workers, the jvm, 5 different versions of nodejs wedged in... But is this really a good thing?
Its like vacuum sealing poop in unlabeled bags and putting them into someone's refrigerator. Yay, surprise.
Tell the corrupt SCOTUS to stop granting a former president unconstitutional powers.
Your comment defies the forceful attempts to stymie any Trump prosecution that GQP party members are performing full-time as of 2024
What you are referring to is known as physical modeling, and there are many techniques employed, depending upon the sort of system one seeks to model.
