Well I could enumerate all the material things that are worse in Europe and better in the US (I have lived in the US enough time to have an informed opinion), but that would get old, and in the end it would miss the point, as I could just a

Funny, I live in Austria and I wish to emigrate to the US. I consider Europe, and Austria in particular a living nightmare.

Of course, the GP tries to instill the idea that open source is not "professional" when in fact in OSS you will see far more variation in development practices and deployment practices than in closed source world. It's a stri

Yeah, although in reality the OSS angle is kind of moot. There can only be one party in control of dependencies. If there is more than one party involved in the development of a product, only the downstream consumer can be in charge of depe

Ah, yes, so a "professional team" is one where 1. the deliverable are binaries (as opposed to source code), and which 2. is not open source. I get it.

by 4ad 5y ago
Have you ever heard of libraries (as opposed to binaries)? Or open source software packaged by distributions?
487.
by 4ad 5y ago
Yeah, build with -Werror when you control the compiler, e.g. in your CI system, or whatever you use to produce build artifacts, but don't hardcode it in your build otherwise.

by 4ad 5y ago
You are describing types as sets, and in intensional type theory types are not sets. There is also extensional type theory, where types can be sets, but in general we are not talking about that when we speak about type theory in connection

The CL standard describes the standard library. The language is described in about 40 pages of said standard.

That being said, competitive for Austria is low even compared to western Europe, and of course unfathomably lower than the US.

Erlang was not designed for concurrency on a single core, it was designed for parallelism on multiple machines. Because of this, erlang processes do not share memory and SMP-level parallelism was easy to add.

Depends for what purpose. High level code? Never, just printf, or some form of dynamic tracing. Low level code? All the time, and only at assembly level (even if I am debugging C).

Adding it later is not impossible, but unfortunately is not that easy either. Ignoring the very high bar for changing Go in general, doing it this way has implementation consequences that would have to be undone. Also the spec change is not

This argument is often repeated but doesn't make any sense. The value of generics is quantifications over types. In particular univeral quantification. "Generic" slices don't give you that, because the values are "g

It absolutely is, because class methods in Haskell are top level declarations. Not only this is not true in Rust, but it doesn't even matter as Rust doesn't have polymorphic values, only polymorphic types and functions. In Rust, u
