There’s certainly confusion about this, as Slack can be used for both. If someone sends you a message, and they’re happy to wait for a reply, then that’s asynchronous. If someone posts an @here in a channel asking for comments before making

I’ve only recently started working with Python, and I’ve already been bitten by TensorFlow v1 and v2 packages having different APIs, so the viability of that approach will depend heavily on which packages you use. However in SemVer a major

As far as I recall the driver was looking at the car's status screen which they'd been instructed by Uber to monitor rather than at the road at the time of the crash, so didn't notice the pedestrian until too late. I can&#x27

That behaviour will be database-specific, most databases I've seen simply say that the order is undefined if there is no explicit "order by" clause. Imagine a query like "select top 10 * from foo where bar = 1", whe

The idea with an ABI (an Application Binary Interface rather than an API) is that there is no need to re-compile, existing binaries still work since the binary interface stays the same.

> This is plain craziness. This example from the article was to demonstrate a type that was more complex than would be acceptable in day-to-day use, so they agree with you here, it would be crazy to make that required to use the feature.

Interesting question though. I wonder if the answer is more trivial than "mechanics is harder than electricity", perhaps the people you're explaining to don't understand electricity either. If someone is trying to unders

Rust doesn't have varargs, so formatting functions tend to be macros (allowing to pass in multiple arguments, compile time parsing the format string to allow type checking etc) so they are generally not that trivial. There are some exa

I can’t speak for the others, but at least in Rust the column number is at the end of the first line of the error, in format file.rs:line:column, eg main.rs:5:10 There are a few example errors here: https://github.com/rust-l

J has a big focus on array manipulation, the libraries in Rust for arrays provide implementations of the Add trait, so I’d disagreed that it is not “idiomatic” https://docs.rs/ndarray/0.13.0/ndarray/struct.Arr

The fix is in 77.0.3865.120 (see comments 45, 46), if you update to current stable it should be fine.

On the other hand, the Scrum Guide[1] recommends that teams have 3-9 people in them, and that more leads to poor coordination. Seems like an inverse "Goldilocks problem", Scrum standups are best when there are more than 10 people

Perhaps they shouldn't be disruptive, but in practice they were a daily drain. I'd be happy to never go to one again. Now every day I can come in to the office, can grab a coffee and get to work. Far more relaxing.

Yes, better to compare to UK gov budget in the linked article. So £12B vs £772B, or 1.5%. Also the the £12B doesn’t include the rebate or other benefits, so the real value is less.

munk-a’s question was more along the lines of “why would the language allow a signed int to be silently converted to an unsigned int” than “what should malloc return for negative input”.
