Yeah, imagine if it was about some toy operating system.

The audience here already knows what "on-demand provisioning" means.

Intended to be like "tree", usually pronounced "try".
Use your OS's package manager.

Are you saying Safari had the right idea?

Because I agree.

You make this sound way easier than I would expect it to be in the general case.

You should literally continue reading the rest of the sentence.
Adding that to the README would be a good idea.

We already know what's happening at his other companies. You're very optimistic if you think this isn't a continuation of that.
Quite a lot of pearl clutching going on in this comment.

Here's the quote about the street names:

> Second, I am struck by the design of the interface itself: the sci-fi overlay of street names, borders, parcel numbers, target distances, and so on.

Struck. Doesn't sound like a value judgement to me. The only thing the author has an explicit problem with is the level of detail the camera captures. I see two sentences in reference to this. I wonder why you thought the first sentence was necessary (I'll leave the arguments that don't actually address anything in the article alone).

There's no "T" in "AWK".

You gave it away by saying "dynamic loading" instead of "dynamic linking". They're okay with one, but not the other.
Seems more to me like saying "someone should make an rsync that's more like Dropbox".
Since I just re-watched it: he ran it on a P4 from 2003.

Perhaps that's intended.

Compiling can certainly still break the flow depending on the language and size of the project. Just ask Google.

What trackers? Apps are sandboxed, so they shouldn't be able to track you.
Re:Speed of Rust vs. C on Saturday March 13, 2021 @04:46PM (#26450293)
"Data structure" here probably means something like a linked list, binary tree, or hash table.

Can you clarify what kind of penalty it had then?
