That's just because you don't understand Google. It was a ML company going from building ML for the internet to building ML for a car.

After re-reading I think I see that point, but I still don't understand the overall comment... Is the author saying his standard language is C++? Everything I know about Midori said that it was competitive with C++ on performance in al

I'm not really clear what this comment implies? What system do you work with that doesn't have null pointers but also cares about eliminating as many fine-grained locks as possible?

IIRC, a potential confounding factor was that this building is much heavier and has a smaller footprint than standard.

It sounds like what you want there is RVMO?

Tuples are value types, so every new reference to a tuple is a copy. This avoids a lot of the situations you would normally get.
38.
by Locke1689 10y ago
Well, let's say Line, Rectangle, and Circle are reference types. Which case does null match? If you match the first type, that's somewhat unsatisfying. But if you only match with default, that's also unsatisfying because now

Regarding switch-as-expression -- the semantics of pattern matching as an expression can be subtle, especially when paired with nullability, so I think there's more support for introducing a new "match" expression that does w

The C# LDM takes inspiration from good ideas from everywhere, including Scala.

This is actually not the case -- none of the members of the language design team are MSR employees.

It is quite confusing (sorry) but the format of the project files won't change the command line interaction -- you'll still do dotnet build dotnet run

It's still in preview, but you can build .NET Core apps with the .NET CLI tool: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#windowscmd

The Washington Post[0] has it broken down by demographics since June. As you can see, as of October 13th, Trump's only lead in education is among voters who have completed "some college", with Clinton having a huge lead among

Link [0] States that they're not lower-income, not that they're educated.

That article is from the April primaries. Donald Trump's demographic support is much different now.

The problem with sharing is that you can inadvertently keep a massive string alive by only holding on to a tiny piece of it. Span<T> conveniently side steps this issue by only existing on the stack, meaning that you can't stash a

Oh, just clarifying for people that it's not just unusual apps with large blocks of memory that will benefit. Even mundane apps that do a little string manipulation will see the results.

by Locke1689 10y ago
The main use cases are actually way more mundane, but also much more impactful. Consider some of the most common string manipulation code you see: grab a substring, compare it to some stuff, branch based on results. Since strings are immuta

Right, ultimately it will be enforced by the CLR type system, much the way most types are in .NET, but practically it will be enforced by the compiler. You can already see this in the "ref parameters" feature in C# today: they can

> They aren't going to move the kernel to a microkernel type design Food for thought: the Windows Subsystem for Linux proves that it's possible to implement the Linux kernel ABI without actually being Linux. I'm not sure

by Locke1689 10y ago
Probably. I don't really consider it settled, anyway.

by Locke1689 10y ago
You're both missing the point. They're talking about kernel security -- when they refer to "usability" they mean compatibility and ease of programming for user-mode applications interfacing with the kernel ABI. This has

Lambdas are supported in the debugger as of Visual Studio 2015 :)

What I'd like to see addressed more is his decision to outsource judgement to the news outlets. It seems that there is a qualitative difference between choosing to out sensitive information yourself and letting someone else ostensibly

If you haven't already pinged one of my colleagues I'd be happy to hear your rants regarding .NET :) ( angocke @ msft )

This is great work! Congrats to Jon Skeet and the other Google people who made this happen!

In a low-inflation, sparse investment landscape it's actually quite likely that people will hoard cash.
