I think this could have been about 1/4 the length. Fairly basic stuff by modern standards and you don't need so many words. It is all correct at least, as far as I could see!

I mean yeah I guess that's its primary purpose if you totally ignore the fundamental thing it's meant to be doing.

It's like saying the primary purpose of a seatbelt is to be easy to fasten and unfasten.

Of course I wouldn't write in raw machine code, or even assembly. We invented higher level languages that are more powerful and easier for humans to use...

But the purpose is still to make machines so stuff!!! I'm not just writing code so that other humans can marvel at my algorithms.

This is so freaking dumb.

Make computers do stuff for what purpose?

For whatever task you're trying to get them to do. Predict the weather, solve an equation, format a document, etc. Computers can do useful things. We program them so that they do those things.

This is the most ELI5 thing I've ever written. If you actually understand programming and you don't realise that it exists to make computers do things then you're surely just being deliberately obtuse.

This is stupid. The whole point of programming is to make computers do things. Before computers, "code" was just hand wavy equations. Sum from 1 to n stuff.

Yes it is designed so that humans can understand it, but the point is to make computers do stuff. Very obviously.

Code is primarily to communicate from human-to-human, and only incidentally for computers to execute

Uhm what? No. That is a stupid thing to say. It is primarily intended for computers to execute, but in a way that humans can understand.

Yeah... I mean they should have just copied whatever video conferencing platforms do because they all work fine behind corporate proxies and they also don't suffer from this "increasing delay" problem.

I haven't actually looked into what they do but presumably it's something like webrtc with a fallback to HLS with closed loop feedback about the delay.

Though in fairness it doesn't sound like "watching an AI agent" is the most critical thing and mjpeg is surprisingly decent.

That is not actually a "data race". It is a race condition for sure, but a data race is a very specific thing - where two threads access the same location at the same time and at least one is a write.

That could be unsafe in Rust because it might lead to reading "impossible values" like an enum that isn't equal to any of its variants. Therefore safe Rust must prevent it or there's a soundness hole.

Doesn't say anything you didn't already know. Probably written with AI.

Also the conclusion is wrong:

Neither approach is universally superior.

The Rust approach is obviously superior.

Squarespace is very different to Wordpress.

But also you didn't really specify how serious this site is. Is it meant to be a proper business or just someone's personal site? For the latter Squarespace would be fine. E.g.

As for maintainability, it depends on whether the customer wants to pay you again every time they need to modify things. Many wouldn't want to.

Uhm no? What makes you say that?

Yeah I wouldn't necessarily recommend wordpress. Probably Squarespace is better.
