Wow. Seems like I will never stop learning new things about Lua.

This isn’t Lua code, Lua requires commas as separators for table items.

EDIT: Retracted, it seems like Lua allows this madness

I hope it’s going to be used instead of machine learning. Seems much more correct, secure and efficient to me.

Slowly first, then all at once.

and fuck people selling technology as a solution instead of system change.

It’s also called depression. (I think, don’t quote me on that.)

But that would still put Earth on track to heat up roughly 2.5 to 2.9 degrees Celsius over preindustrial levels by the century’s end, the report found

Doesn’t that still mean extinction of nearly all life on earth? What’s with the headline saying “safe levels”?

I think we have underestimated how much progress has been made on killing the planet.

Same here. Sounds pretty sustainable to me!

I doubt TCP/UDP or basic HTTP requests will change much, but I guess it depends on how high-level the API is.

Of course the most productive comment is the least upvoted one. EDIT: After thinking about it, maybe it’s best to add an explanation to bare links.

Interesting, that definitely makes sense!

Actually, I like encapsulating global state in a structured and documented construct. But I guess I could see Java developers going overboard with abstraction in an imperative language.

I’ve recently come to appreciate the “refactor the code while you write it” and “keep possible future changes in mind” ideas more and more. I think it really increases the probability that the system can live on instead of becoming obsolete.

Actually one of the few languages you can learn in its completeness in less than a day, so I wouldn’t really say it’s “hard to understand”. More like hard to read and understands programs written in it.

Interesting viewpoint, but I think the applications aren’t at fault: The operating system should ensure that the user has control of the computer at all times. I think you need to do three things to achieve that:

1. Limit process RAM usage, so the system never has to swap
2. Limit process CPU usage, so the system never stalls
3. When drivers / the operating itself crash, revert into a usable state (this one is probably the most complex one)

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

If you know it will break, try to see how to reduce the damages.

A little bit of Go when I’m not too frustrated from loosing the last game (don’t know why this happens only with Go, but I can’t help it) and Netrunner.

Isn’t this treating the symptoms, not the cause? The real problem here seems to be that militaries and bad actors are killing people they obviously shouldn’t, but it feels like the article just accepts that as something that “downstream users” do.

I’m all for responsible software use, but I think the issue lies deeper than software licensing.

Makes sense. I never used Photoshop, so I don’t know how it compares. It’s been good enough for my needs so far.
