am german, i also don't mind using a pay toilet, because they are mostly super, super clean. Sometimes they are really expensive (it's like parking space), but mostly they take a few cents and you really get something in return.

i think that languages that have a very good REPL make it easier to write tests. Because you play around in the Repl, you automatically write a few tests that you just have to copy. Also, if you design your software repl-friendly, there is

i think that's more a tooling problem. Making tech accessible to someone new really important.

that's why good and fair journalism is so important. It should connect the dots and try to explain to the layman what's going on, while ideally being honest about the opinions of the paper and not having an explicit agenda (i am n

i think it is important to understand the practical restrictions the languages are created for. You don't use haskell for space/latency restricted systems, but (as a much as i admire rust) haskell is easier to program with if you

A recommendation for monads. Don't read too much tutorials, try it. Programm in some languages that emphasises monads and then reflect how you used them. I think these fundamental concepts are way easier to experience than to explain.

i sometimes wonder whether it's worth it. One of my passions is Cs and i enjoy it very much. But It's not the only one and i fear that one day i wake up burned out, wondering how i have wasted my time learning technologies that ha

why i think this is important and true, there is often a tendency to over-regulate things, because for the regulator it's hard to decide what is necessary and important and what does more harm due to the regulatory overhead than the in

serious question: why is this not open-source? I think serious tools to communicate in this community should as much open-source as possible.

i am not yet convinced on literate Haskell besides tutorials. It makes the source-code hard to read and understand, too much noise for this little amount of source-code.

I am not yet convinced, probably because the response is too short. Can somebody explain the problems with the effect system more detailed? "Eventually people just took to making everything io, at which point it was a noise word and we

i speak with strangers in bars all the time, seriously. I thought it's one of the reasons bars exists. Even most tinder-dates start in bars, because if it's not going anywhere there other people to talk to. You just might not get

Having to work remotely is one of the main reasons why it's so hard for me to contributed to open source projects (i am a student btw). I guess it's not for everyone. I need people to function, people to work with, people to talk

What about emerging markets? If they are so expensive, they probably don't have access to them. Low cost, low performance medical devices that target emerging markets seem like a great area to invest massive amount of money into with a

I don't agree. Self driving cars could become crucial to solving the last-mile(s) problem of public transit in more rural areas. Public transit works perfect in cities but has problems in lesser populated areas. Self driving would conn

yeah, but when i hear go i think of web servers ;)

by LeanderK 10y ago
But why does Go prioritise low latency? I would think that low latency is not super important for web-servers since there are various other factors adding up to the total latency (what i mean here: time spent between call of the http reques

Don't take this too seriously (CSS is still separated), it's not important to separate html and Javascript, but to separate something. You can choose your own abstractions and how you organise the code-base to make it maintainable

one problem in germany is that we have many high-speed trains but not many high speed tracks. High speed trains are really competitive even when you want to travel from berlin to munich (Just look at the travelling times when VDE8 will be f

i am really happy that the "green" energy production is in such a price war. It's Solar vs. Wind not Solar vs. Coal. I don't care what's cheaper as long as it's not Coal!
