Sweden has the same problems, maybe I could build a similar tool for this market. I was wondering how you collect and present data? Just self-reported or do you have some API to gather this information?

The problem was people (including management) wanting to talk about where and how to put emojis once we added a few. The less I have to talk to management the better. All those small discussions were essentially pointless and they happened

This 418 stuff reminds me of a previous job where we had some arguments about putting emojis in our applications. I was against it and a coworker was for it. Like putting rocket ship emoji when an operation succeeds. My main argument was th

My perception is that for consumer hardware raw CPU power stopped mattering some 10 years ago, it seems to me what matters more these days is CPU cache size/latency as well as RAM latency. Is this really the case? I think lately we hav

I know right? I just scraped another website instead. I am actually surprised no one went: "actually that technique is called 'chicken ostrich sandwich' and was first employed in babylon in 2000BC"

I dunno, I never measured it. If you are scraping billions of small social media posts I would expect it to add up and make it unviable.

I want to share a story in a somewhat related topic: anti web-scraping techniques The most devious version I ever seen of this, I was baffled, astonished and completely helpless: This website I was trying to scrap generated a new font (as i

Corruption is not a single axis, for example college entrance exams and voting in brazil are very trustworthy in my opinion. Institutions are corrupt, not a whole country. Sure there is some level of infection between institutions but there

You are not wrong, but a lot of the stuff you mentioned is literally a non-issue with any modern JS environment. It feels like any old language gets this way...

> Before WASM you could already compile code from other languages into JavaScript. And have the same benefits as you have with WASM. If you are referring to asm.js you must be joking. asm.js was basically a proof of concept and is worse

> WASM proved to be secure and JVM did not. It is interesting to ask why that is the case, from my point of view the reason is that the JVM standard library is just too damn large. While WASM goes on a lower-level approach of just not ha

I have been thinking we would be heading for a world where WASM replaces code running lambda functions on the cloud for a long time. WASM is traditionally seen as running on a host platform, but there is no reason it needs to be this way. B

When I see game credits I am always surprised how little core developers there are compared to how many other types of developers. I imagine the real reason is that using a standard tool: 1) Hiring, it is really hard to hire people who can

Are you with the Zig Foundation? Seriously do it, not only for the money but people interested in Zig need a place to find professional opportunities!

Not saying that full memory safety is bad, but like the original post said: > I haven't yet seen a language where full memory safety didn't come at an extraordinary cost But like you said yourself there are many types of applic

this is an amazing feature

by DanielHB 2y ago
From my point of view the main point of memory safety is not to avoid bugs (although it helps with that) is that when you do have a memory management bug you don't risk remote code executions or leaking sections of memory to attackers

Just wondering, if you don't care about that much about the performance for your application, is it okay to use the runtime checks compilation in production? Like say I have a really weird issue I can't seem to find locally, can I

If anyone from the Zig foundation is reading this I highly recommend creating a job board, it is basically free money if you have a niche audience.

It is crazy to think that many countries ban cigarette advertising but not sports betting. The same moral and social arguments can be made for both, so why different rules?

I have used standard github and graphite reviews. I tend to prefer what I mentioned in my original post than graphite stacked PR review (which are essentially atomic commits) Yes I also advocate for squash-before-merge, so a lot of little c

Why is it a "Pull Request" instead of a "Push Request"? Someone named it that way and it stuck.

You do have good points as well and it depends heavily on how disciplined the std lib makers are. Go for example has a very clean and stable std lib. I posted this in some other thread: I am not a Rust expert but the thing with the standard

I am not a Rust expert but the thing with the standard libraries is that it only has peer dependencies with itself and they are all synced to the same version. Meaning if you only use the std lib you: 1) Will never include two different ver
