Me too! I think it's the pontification presented in a self-aware, humorous way.
I strongly agree with about half of the essay, while I want to agree with the other half in principle, but instead I think it is indeed "...so ridiculous that [he is] obviously out of touch with the real world".
~1300 EWDs and this one is ~70 paras, so say 100K paras worth of EWDs (+ a similar amount for his published work?) suggesting that 2 paras are still better measured in microdijkstras than in nanodijkstras...
Seems like apple themselves had a good solution to this with one model of the iMac that supported use as an secondary monitor. Imagine if every laptop / iMac supported use as a secondary monitor.
Yeah, to be honest, I would be happy if I could buy another product such as the mini and then plug it into the display, but sadly not supported, there are some third party ways of doing this, but I am not sure they are so great.
I actually use my iMac with my windows laptop for work, by plugging in a video capture device via USB and going via HDMI to the laptop, it works okay, but i'm not sure i'd want to run a shiny new Mac this way.
Macros, the ugly side of C, Rust. Shame Zig didn't come before rust, imagining kernel data structures written in Zig, brings a smile.
Right on point that kernel style C is its own unique world, with a steep learning curve, so lets add Rust with its own steep learning curve. Rust readability isn't any better than kernel C, guess I'm missing the 10,000 hours of reading Rust.
Of course it would a big oops simile, but use after free isn't something that has happened to me in 40 years but I keep testing for it in other peoples code ;)
Do you know if you can get a real one on Aliexpress? I’ve looked at replacements but wouldn’t want to get a fake that will leech at high temps. I’m not in the US.
