Sure, but in that case they are equivalent to a static function so there's no benefit of lambda other than syntax sugar.

The benefit is that you don't have to solve one of the hard problems in computer science (naming things).

Capturing lambdas in a language without a GC (or a borrow checker) are kinda fraught with footguns.

This is not my experience.

Surely the commenter means deleting them in the code, not just the management software. Otherwise, what's the point?

You need to find every occurrence of flag4 and remove references to it. So that boolean expression would need to have `&& flag4` removed.

What I’m saying is there may be references you don’t have access to.

Yes it's been done a bunch of times in the past, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged_architecture. Probably most notably lisp machines which the sibling comment mentioned.

Oxford dictionary lists cringe as adjective.

Cambridge dictionary lists cringe as adjective.

Merriam-Webster lists cringe as adjective.

Might need to update your understanding.

MW has it as slang. Cambridge has it as informal. OED I don't have access to.

Slang and informal words exist, yes.

Still need the entire browser DOM, APIs, layout, renderers, etc outside of JS.

No idea about this project, but it is very possible to compile a dynamically typed language, without large VM/runtime. See Common Lisp, Julia

Yes, and JavaScript itself is JITed. I used interpreted here as a shorthand for interpreted and/or JIT compiled at runtime.

> Space in NYC isn't cheap. Space in space is free.

... what?

Say what you want about starship etc etc, but space in space is far from free and will be for a long time.

Who do you pay rent to in space?

Space is free; you don't even pay property taxes.

Transportation costs are not but that's the whole reason you invest into (at the time) a space transportation company.

You can't just get something to space and then leave it there for free. Any maintenance is way more expensive than a data center on the ground (be it via extra trips or extra R&D for autonomous operating).

You can't leave anything on the ground for free either.

Like what is your argument? A new technology is expensive? That's why you invest into bringing the costs down.

Google invested into balloons to share internet (Loom). Which they eventually gave up on but the correct decision is to try new things and then evaluate their future success. Not just armchair decide that change is scary.

I'm not saying space data centers should happen tomorrow but just that ruling them out completely for YouTube is foolish. Like Sports often send the video feed through space back to earth to be processed. You can skip a step there by just sending it to space, processing it there, and then send it back down to subscribers.

The UK loves to take various infrastructure and industries private and public depending on which government is in power at the moment. See also trains, water, etc

I would like to know if text is LLM generated even if I can't tell from the content itself. For me it's a matter of attention (hah) and a quality signal. The poster expects to spend a minimal amount of effort on the post, and all the readers will have to spend the same amount of attention whether its LLM generated or not.

To me, it's disrespectful to expect someone to waste their day reading every word of a blog post when even the author has not read every word. It shows that you value your time over your reader's time.

False equivalence, text processor leaves the authors intention completely in tact and is deterministically controlled completely by the author. Not true for gen ai
