Ridiculous. You must be talking about learning only the syntax of a new language. Truly internalizing how to wield a new language will take months to years. A dev that switched from language X to Y "in a few days" will just writ

No, just a few false positives. I don't have issues with null in my projects in the first place though.

Unfortunately, the sort of soft trolling he keeps doing is allowed on here. It reflects extremely poorly on the mod team and is frankly just pathetic.

Your anecdote is exactly the same as all others claiming to be able to tell the difference - there's not enough information in it for anyone to be able to make a judgement either way. I would expect that a person conscientious enough

> I did a (non-blind) comparison of steel versus carbon fiber, and they felt very different to me. Meaning, you switched out the frame on a bike from steel to carbon, keeping everything else, and felt a difference?

If 2 tons of steel hit you at 40mph+, you will die. You can be dead wearing a helmet if you wish. Trying to find a way out of that situation is futile, you're trying to fight the laws of physics. The solution is to not be there in the

Please, you've been reading too much PR from the Java side and not looking at benchmarks and real-world performance enough. What you're claiming is inherently not possible, cherry-picked benchmarks notwithstanding.

That's only a valid comparison if the "fastest Java" and "fastest Go" implementations are either the same or at the limit of what each language allows. The more interesting comparison anyway is performance of the st

That you put Rust among those languages says it all. Do some basic research.

It wasn't, you're just being hit with the standard obnoxiously disingenuous HN responses. It's very clear what you meant by 'hate' in your post.

Huh? An autoformatter is just a one big pure function, so it's easy to test. It'd be odd for it not to be solid. If it's not even fast, then nothing of note was even achieved. Anybody can write a slow formatter that conform

You shouldn't have setters in the first place. What's the point of encapsulation if anyone can just set properties at will?

Well this doesn't make much sense. If you rightfully find bash inadequate at some point, just switch to the next most natural tool - Python. Nobody's going to be surprised when they see a Python script. If you start feeling Python

Technically there's nothing wrong with it. That's the problem. These "gotcha" takes that some random language from 20 years ago already had feature x so talking about it now makes no sense are as common as they're m

An easy position to hold when it's physically impossible for a cyclist to harm you in your steel cage but you can kill them on a whim by slightly turning a wheel.

Because it's an incredibly US-centric POV. Of course public transport will be unsafe if 95% of the population drives, leaving only the marginalized groups to use it. You won't get beaten with a hammer in your car, you'll just

Better = more efficient. People in aggregate don't have any preferences actually. They just want to get to their destination in the cheapest/most convenient way, which is mostly dictated by what has been designed to be that way. I

Ah, taking manufacturer-provided TDP numbers at face value. So much for all the pretending you know anything about CPUs. Your very own source gives the M1 a 75 vs 59 score on power efficiency. They don't seem to provide a benchmark for
