The issue is that pickpockets and others looking to target more "naive" tourists will be less likely to target you if you're dressed less like a tourist.

It's not idiomatic, but it's still possible. I've got NullPointerExceptions while writing fairly complex, modern Scala, so it's about as possible as with Java in my experience.

Really? There are at least two coffee places within ten metres of the train station on Rye Lane, right across from the Cinema. You're talking absolute rubbish.

I would argue that C++ (or at least, modern C++) aims to /enable/ one to treat it as either. It gives the programmer the power to write very low level code if they wish, but also to define type safe interfaces and high level abstr

Which, of course, depends on what you consider to be a "safe" algorithm.

LLVM is targeted by both Haskell and Idris - two of the most un-C/C++-like languages I've ever come across.

A UI shouldn't be unresponsive in that case. It should present a progress bar, or other visual indicator that the UI [thread/actor/process] is waiting for the IO [thread/actor/process]. A UI should only become unres

One problem with nuclear reactors on space craft is what happens if/when the craft re-enters the atomosphere? How do you stop the reactor from becoming a high-altitude dirty bomb?

What drivel is this? The purpose of a college degree is to show to your peers that an academic institution is satisfied with your level of knowledge in a particular area. There are legitimate criticisms of the current university system (suc

Well said. This article is essentially dismissing a technique that is barely used, with the argument that the technique is not the entire solution. Of course it isn't, but that doesn't change the benefits that it can bring.

I have the "cloud to butt" extension[1] installed, which led me to initially assume the article was about running phones as part of a cloud service, either for compute or testing. It was therefore quite a surprise for me when I ac

Doesn't the author somewhat argue the opposite? If form follows function, then surely a "new" way of doing dictionaries should have a new syntax?

I think this article misses a crucial point with it's phrasing, or construction of the "design vs mathematics" tradeoff. Mathematics is superior for underpinning programming languages because it is universal . Design, like a

Define "complex data layouts"? One reason that tools like Futhark often don't is that complex data structures don't provide good performance on GPUs. If, however, you mean complicated compositions of arrays, then that is

The problem isn't that a particular library is AMD or NVIDIA only in terms of computation, but NVIDIA or AMD only in terms of performance . GPU implementations are usually optimised for a specific architecture, which is then the &quot

On a related note (and this seems a good forum to ask), are there any typed databases available similar to sqlite?

One reason to optimise is to try and get it to fit into cache. I don't know if this tool would help with that or not, but it's an excellent way to try and optimise cache residency of your binary.

What I worry is whether the message is being recieved in the right way. Are people hearing and understanding or are they hearing and reacting to it badly?

And the ones that are buying from individual suppliers are doing so for non-economic reasons, e.g. "buying local", or specialised produce variants.
