Liam Neeson (yes, that one) wrote an op-ed defending these carriages in the NYT, back in 2014:

Just to confirm: these puzzles are unrelated to RSA, correct?

So sad to hear this. Hard to imagine anyone else playing Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park.

Doesn't Zig also have bitwise operators?

Wait, I'm confused. Do you mean Boston should have made non-compete agreements illegal?

I assume OP means that a probe launched today would take decades to exit the solar system.

The thing I don't understand with these loan arguments is: don't you eventually need to pay taxes in the income you use to repay the loan? It seems to me that folks who take out such loans are just kicking the can down the road.

Just wanted to say this is an amazing technical writeup, thanks for sharing.

Looks amazing. However, I'm confused about some of the examples in the ownership section. Consider this example:

  [fn consume [xs]
  [println [str "got " [len xs] " items"]]]
  [let items #[1 2 3]]
  [consume items]
  ; items has been moved — using it here is a compile error

This is described as an example of a setting where the variable 'items' has been moved, so it can no longer be used. However, the consume function does not mutate its argument, so I don't see why 'items' can no longer be used. In addition, it seems to me that the term 'moved' is being used to mean 'mutated'. Is that correct, or do I have it wrong?

Another example from the website is the following:

  [fn length [xs] [len xs]]

  [let items #[1 2 3]]
  [println [length items]]
  [println [length items]]  ; items not consumed

The website explains this example as follows: "If the compiler can prove that a reference will not outlive the owner, it passes a borrow instead of moving." However, there are no references in this example, only the original variable 'items'. Am I missing something? I think the language is cool, but the explanations of the semantics could be improved.

What old features would you like to dispose of in a modern redesign of D? What would this new edition look like?

Mammoth and Red Thunder are both masterpieces.

How would this work, given that Anthropic is a public benefit corporation?

Whoa! Any references?

Been using Boks for a couple months, haven't noticed much difference. Maybe some reduced sensitivity.

Which car + how do you like it?

I'm confused: why would you short BTC if you knew in advance that additional tariffs would be announced? Wouldn't you expect that to increase the dollar value of BTC due to depreciation of the dollar?

Sorry to hear that, that is completely unacceptable behavior.

You are correct that 1-based indexing is the norm among mathematicians, but none of the creators of Lua is a mathematician, AFAIK. You can read about the early history of Lua here:

What were the benefits?

What British values do you think have been abandoned in favor of American values?

Do you have a source for that B200 price?

Simple solution: take an antacid, like Tums.

Any upcoming advances for gum disease?

So sorry to hear this, I wish him the best.

How much higher bandwidth, percentage wise, can one expect from integrated DRAM vs socketed DRAM? 10%?

Yeah, but their AI/data center GPUs go for closer to $100K, and I've heard that they obtain >50% margins on those. I agree with your overall point that the $4T valuation is not justified by current profits.

"Tao" might be more search-engine friendly than "nature".

Cool work! Just out of curiosity, what made you pick the name nature?

That's crazy! How does something so big go missing? Did they ever find it?
