Buzz-word soup.

No, just a much more mundane rhetorical bait-and-switch. Ranking the "greatest logician" is purely-subjective, not a truth-value. Barging in like the kool-aid-man to bellyache that Harper isn't applauding Frege in an article that has nothing to do with him, while dismissing with a wave of your hand the obvious reason that nobody does that. To put it in your debate-club lingo: that's begging the question.

"obviously" -- keep telling on yourself.

Given that the case for "greatest logician" can be made for at least a dozen candidates, picking the bigot is conspicuous - especially raised specifically in contrast to Gödel who literally had to flee the Nazis. "Show us your politics without telling."

One might gently recommend reading the "Political and social views" section on Frege's wikipedia entry before hitching your hot-take wagon to that particular horse.

... it does?

Garbage collection. It's in the leading paragraph of the article so I can see why it's easy to miss.

Unremarked: debug build perf, perf-stability against minor edits, build-time bloat when heavily using std templates.

Shout-out: Voidtools Everything on windows. Lightning fast file search.

Took a looooong time to get to their point (that ragebaiters don't actually care about neolangs _or_ wikimedia policy).

"on a galactic timescale, the prices haven't risen at all..."

Bait headline.

All caps doesn't make it true.

Steam machine is not locked into the steam client. You can install whatever you want.

PS5 sells at a loss & makes up the difference collecting rent on a closed system. With Steam you're buying an open system.

Footnote 6 "How is this different from struct in C#" is inaccurate. Since the article is littered with AI-generated images, I assume the writing, or at least the research, is littered with hallucinations?

Tim Ferris bemoaning AI in self-help books is like John Henry vs. the drilling machine, except for bullshitting instead of driving rail road spikes.

Grifter publishing-slop sector devastated by slop automation.

Usually you do "pointer-fixup" where you convert them to relative-offsets on write and then back to absolute-offsets on read.

Good thing I read the article, otherwise that would have been really biting

Meta/post/neo-blankism is just taxonomy, the lowest form of analysis/criticism.

The thing about UI animation is that even if no tween frame was ever hinky I'd still turn it off because it's an anti-pattern. It's there to look good on a retail shelf, not to improve day to day usage.

I was trying to appeal to OPs maladaptive "C++ that looks like C is more legitimate" aesthetic preference, haha.

If you know you want bytes -- A void* of unknown provenance cast to anything other than char* is UB so just skip the middleman and use char*.

Another breathless sales pitch selling pickaxes to miners, but where's the gold? Where's the incredible product that the chatbots-talking-to-chatbots over git generating LOC heaps have actually _created_? I just don't see it.

> While the intent is not to call for competing proposals, we believe that now is a good time to discuss and propose alternative proposals as well.

lol

> For example, rather than proposing one single concrete JIT implementation, it may make more sense for the PEP to describe a JIT infrastructure that can support multiple implementation strategies.

poison-pill requirement

> We are setting a window of six months for a PEP to be submitted and resolved. If no such PEP is accepted within that window, the JIT code must be removed from the main branch

so it's going to be removed from the main branch

$$ taking another circular financing lap.

Smokescreen of highly-contingent analysis and appeals to authority over a premotivated-conclusion.

See: cbloom's rant on quantization for deeper investigation: https://cbloomrants.blogspot.com/2020/09/topics-in-quantizat...

"While in theory there are cases where you might want to use either type of quantization, if you are in games don't do that!

The reason is that the GPU standard for UNORM colors has chosen "centered" quantization, so you should do that too."
