Yeah, I get that, but this library doesn't appear to be doing that. It seems like it's replicating the facade of LINQ, but not the "hard" parts such as switchable backends, which isn't useful since we already have S

How is this meaningfully different from the Java 8 Streams API? It seems to be functionally equivalent right up to lazy evaluation, just with SQL vocabulary (select, where, etc) instead of functional vocabulary (map, filter, etc).

To build on Rust's options, there's the Structopt library[0] that generates a CLI interface using clap-rs from an annotated struct, which is a very, very nice experience for making command line tools. [0] https://github.

"Rolling your own crypto" usually refers to constructing new cryptographic schemes out of either primitives or just out of wholecloth. Using well-developed hashing schemes like pbkdf2 (which the auth snippet uses) or bcrypt (anoth

This brings the pricing in line with Vultr, which previously was much cheaper. This is good news for me though, since I'm about to launch a new side project (non-revenue generating, just for fun) and I prefer DO due to a few nice extr

There was just a comment thread (on the slack outage article) recently discussing why there are no good p2p chat programs. This might be one reason why. Fuck software patents.

I mean, transistor-based microelectronics are basically just special rocks that we have inscribed with very precise geometrical patterns and feed lightning into in order to make them behave how we want.

I’ve been using the Victorinox Cybertool 32 for... about 6 years now. I don’t a lot of use for the extras in most multitools (who needs a metal file or a saw on a daily basis), but pliers, scissors, and a multi-tip screwdriver (including a

Chrome is 100% the IE. They blatantly ignore standards, the most obvious of which is their treatment of autocomplete=off in forms[1]. They broke the ability to disable autocomplete, and since then have been intentionally breaking workaroun

There have been lawsuits over exactly that, I think - specifically about ad-skipping DVRs.

But why do that when you can force everybody to buy adapters for your proprietary port? Or better yet, your proprietary headphones!

Newsblur is my preferred one. They even let me pay them actual money instead of financing the service by selling my data! (Though they do have a free option if that's important to you) RSS is very much not dead, although it's prob

While I love option types, retrofitting them into languages which already have nulls has problems. Ask me about using a Java library that could return an option type, which could be null, so you have to check for both the None return value

While this is promising, there's a long way to go between this and the other things you mentioned. Go is very well-defined, has an unequivocal objective scoring system that can be run very quickly, and can be simulated in such a way t

I think GP is referring to Azure Machine Learning Studio[1], which does seem like it might be comparable to TF. That said, I don't know enough about either to answer their question. 1: https://studio.azureml.net

That's effectively no different from changing the seed data (say, going from "password1" as the seed to "password2"), you still have to remember which iteration you're on on each site as part of the seed data.

Well, the easy answer is that dependently-typed languages like Agda and Idris aren't very mature yet. They're still missing many commonly-needed libraries, compile times are slow, the tooling isn't great, etc etc. Getting a l

There are two big risks, as I see it: 1) the human tendency to turn statistical averages into absolutes. Imagine genetic testing saying that gene A is associated with a slightly higher than average propensity for coding ability (say, 3%). T

I believe this is part of the premise of Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. That said, whether it's one company or a few that are well-aligned doesn't really matter for the purposes of that book.
