So maybe the problem with showing all the comments at once is that there are too many, and when showing one at a time they are not shown for long enough. How about breaking the play into chapters/zones/rooms/segments (whateve

Julia strikes a nice middle ground. Functions which don't specify the types of their arguments are implicitly generic, and are JIT compiled when called based on what the actual argument types are. So even if a function doesn't hav

I don't buy that argument, as a programmer you have to write out code following a precise syntax all the time. Programming would be insanely tedious without knowing correct syntax. Having said that, if someone came up with an interview

I was expecting this to be like `git blame`, but to automatically check previous revisions for any lines touched by the current user. That would be a fun toy :-)

One way to look at these models is to say that they take raw input, convert it into a feature space, manipulate it, then output back as raw text. A nice example of this is neural style transfer, where the learnt features can distinguish con

I quite like the “enumerate” pattern. When indexes matter, instead of `for x in v` you would write, `for (i, x) in enumerate(v)`, then the language only needs one type of for loop as both cases use the same enumerator interface.

It would be fair for a browser to assume that if you’ve just visited one page that you might return soon, and so keep assets in cache for a little while.

The technical difference would be that a keylogger logs keystrokes regardless of where the focus is, whereas normal "respond to key events" logic would be restricted to capturing key events in a field where the user understands th

Maybe kinda, but really you'd want reproducible cross-compilation too, so a reproducible build should produce the same binary regardless of which machine it is run on.

That example is using “logical vectors”, which you’d come across in more data-science languages like Matlab, Octave, R, etc. Julia[1] has a more modern take on y==1, by having explicit syntax for element-wise operations, so it uses y.==1 in

Multiple dispatch is not too different to method overloading, so you could start there for comparable examples, maybe in programming languages you are more familiar with: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_overloadi

In some languages the documentation is available as essentially a property of the documented object, so pulling up docs in the repl is easy. It isn’t quite a binary choice.

In Rust to_lowercase returns a String, which is an owned struct with heap allocated data, so it is reasonably clear that it allocates. In contrast, trim_start for example returns a reference to a string slice with the same lifetime as the s

by DougBTX 6y ago
Go doesn't guarantee any encoding for strings, very deliberately (so that, eg, they can be used to represent file names).

The date should be (2013) not (2018), as that dates it before Rust 1.0 (which does have a UTF-8 string type) and before the Julia 1.0 release date (which implements UTF-8 strings as arrays with irregularly spaced indexes, eg, the valid inde

It works without the cast if Shape is a generic function itself: type Shape = <T>( circle: (x: number, y: number, r: number) => T, rectangle: (x: number, y: number, w: number, h: number) => T ) => T;
