Thanks for your contribution. I really like it and switched to it immediately when it came out. The initial theme was not quite right but it’s good now.

This article is pure garbage. Here are some of its sins: * It says that SQL was introduced in 1974 and could be used for web applications (the web was invented in 1989). * Then it calls AI “Artistical Intelligence”. * And it never even talks about the topic of its title: what’s next for SQL.

Has anyone here tried to read that book (Superintelligence)? I found it impossible to get through it. The author drones on and on seeming to try to reach a high word count as some sort of academic pompous goal and takes so long to make a point that I didn’t stick around for the ending. Incidentally, I have a free copy for anyone that likes lots of words.

I’m pretty sure the Snowden leaks made it clear how the US chooses to treat its allies. So no, to anyone outside the US, Tik Tok isn’t substantially different from Facebook.

I realize this is unrelated to the blog post but it is related to Carbon… If you are creating an off-ramp language from C++ wouldn’t you keep the syntax as close to C++ as possible? The syntax looks like it would be more familiar to a Rust developer than a C++ developer.

Firefox is the best browser in many respects. But even if it wasn’t. Even if it was missing extensions, used all my RAM and chewed my CPU, I would still choose it over Chrome. Because using a browser from the world’s biggest advertiser is wrong on principle. And using an ad blocker (I don’t use one) while using a browser made by an advertiser is next level cognitive dissonance.
