We're below reproduction rate in most parts of the world, and likely will fall below in the rest of the world during this century, so we're already in the 'find out' era :(

And you have sources? Because last time I checked this was the worst way of doing it, as you leave enough bacteria to try and mutate into resistivity.

If you already had resistant bacteria, taking antibiotics wouldn't heal you for long anyway, tried it first hand a few months ago.

Hashes are 'proper cryptography', it's just that sometimes even when you use the right tools you get a bad result, e.g. when a backdoor exists in the hashing parameters that is hard to find. Yes, sometimes hashes are overused, but this example here doesn't seem like the case, and true randomness wouldn't allow the proofs to be deterministic, thus requiring everything to be checked which is not desirable because it requires time and power to do so.

Maintainers, I guess, as in, the update that was rolled out, was broken for some users. But I don't know if that's the case here

But then someone will have to deal with it somewhere, better just unwrap it under the carpet.

it’s clear at this point already that Zig is a weakly-typed language

Uhm... pretty sure it isn't.

They seem to think any type inference makes for a weak typing, judging by their previous rant about auto in C++

So, yeah, author's views are a bit special, not sure this article will help me be better :(

Albeit true, I want to note that some languages encourage such practices way more than others do. Also, when you've got a hammer everything looks like a ~~string~~ nail.

So he wanted features merged outside maintenance window again? I'm a bit inclined to think, Kent doesn't really want to play by the rules at all

Chances are, he doesn't have any female friends, because he scared them off long time ago.

The unraveling of the Byju’s empire has come as a shock to many employees. One former employee who led a team for several years until 2024 told me he was proud of the work he and his colleagues had been doing

This is the only side that gets my sympathy in this story, the workers who tried their best to make a great product

This is maybe a second time I hear about the Browser Company, but what they declare sounds a bit contradictory. They say, they moved too fast with Arc, now they say that speed is not going to be a trade-off anymore (so, even faster changes, even more to learn for a user?). Open-sourcing a product without its dependency seems better than not at all. What they aspired to build sounds interesting, but ultimately, I'm not sure I would've tried that before, and even less now after they discontinued it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Source I found from a link on Stack overflow

Also, the could be better if it had alt text
