I think that there's a potential different story with this. He felt that he had no option but to do work, even though he was so sick that he failed at the job. What's up with that? How insecure and pressured is his employment?
If it's not true then the error is on him. But it seems plausibly bad to me as an outside observer of US employment and healthcare customs. And the precarity of journalism nowadays. It is a sad state of things, as in it could be more a systemic than individual failure.
Are you saying unethical behavior is not a choice but forced by the system? That it would be unreasonable to expect people to behave ethically in situation were the system is set up in a way that does not reward ethical behavior? That lying and cheating can always be excused because if people didn't, they would endager their societal status?
It compiles and sends bytecode to the server, no? I'm quite sure the server at least does not run a plain interpreter, and I know for sure you build a graph there. That's why you can also use it with other languages (Saw a clojure example I think I wanted to give a try)
Edit: that person (or bot) has almost exclusively posted on this website about the current US president. I think it's a waste engaging and I already regret my comment here
The house in Zurich I live in was initially built something like in the 12th century, but the floor I reside on was added in the 17th century. This is the case for most houses in the old town. So this is going on for a while.
Physical units help modeling and review, it's much easier to sanity check values from just reading, and comparing constants. I've heard that for rendering/raytracing, a lot of people move to model light intensities by actual physical values which makes it much easier to author and compare - such as for example "oh I want a light here that is as bright as this old lightbulb I like so much, but there's sunlight also shining through the window". That's much easier than estimating it in arbitrary units, in particular as here human perception is non-linear. I assume this would be similar for other simulations.
Meh, I have the impression the blog author really hates Zig's new Writer (fair, I disagree, but fair), but his criticism in this example is in my eyes slightly questionable -- it is a bug in the implementation and not a conceptual issue. He then uses quite some loaded phrasing like "I must be too dumb to understand this" and "I can't be really too dumb can I?" which I think ruin the discussion (as do the titles. He failed to convince me, for instance, that the new Writer was inherently unsafe by design). It feels like a "Look I told you!!! You run into bugs like this!!!" which is not helpful for a feature/refactor that was already advertised as complex and not fully implemented or verified.

Well, Ars Technica is already for quite some time on my ignore list, and this further solidifies its place there.
