Yes, but they are both still conflicts of interest. Also as the other poster mentions, as Go accrues popularity, it is not always as easy as picking another language.

This situation feels similar to the need of politicians to divest any potential conflicts of interest. I would not accept “just trust me” as a response. As long as there’s a possible conflict of interest, there will be ethical concerns.

I'm reminded of this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/opinion/reclaiming-jew.ht... > To be “a real Christian” is a compliment, but to be “a real Jew” is considered an insult.

I understand Rust's goal is to have the zero-cost abstractions of C and C++ with greater safety, effectively displacing them. This is obviously a personal opinion, but sometimes I like being able to create bugs in my code. Not from a

I can think of at least 3 reasons! 1) I don’t control the curriculum. 2) I’m pretty sure no one knows it well enough to teach. 3) Rust’s ecosystem and adoption is still too small for being taught as an engineering tool and for delivering em

Funny you mention that: the data structures course I took let us use any language we wanted. I chose python because I thought “hey python’s easier than C!” So I started making some tree implementation from scratch, and I kept having problem

In the next sentence I say: > variables must always be initialized before they’re used. Also I believe I’m quoting close to the standard there about indeterminate value. I stayed away from using the term “undefined behavior” because I’ve

Hi. I appreciate your candor, although I'm not sure what I've done to inspire such contempt. You're correct that the entire point of the post was to deep dive into a rabbit hole. I acknowledged that and also acknowledged that

Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who think so.

Hi. I completely agree. C++ is there for very fine control and serves the purpose well (and is constantly adding more control, e.g. trivially relocatable). My biggest goal for a CS 101 class would just to build computational and critical th

Author here--some extra context to add: The post was mostly written to point my students to, so I don't have to keep repeating myself. I get a not-insignificant number of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years (in a 5-year program) believing C is som

I agree with your sentiment, but in this case it’s not a personal attack. Linus, the person in charge, has standards for how certain choices should be made. The prevalence of Linux makes any breaking changes dire. Linus identified that ther

Is withgoogle.com a new subset of educational resources from google? Going directly to withgoogle.com just redirects me to google.com. My first instinct was suspicion when I saw the link.

"No, Computing is not just glorified math". At the end of the day, yes it is, but I can understand the sentiment of those who don't need/care to look at it any deeper.

I appreciate the relevance and importance of posting this to HN, but I also think there’s not much anyone can add to the innate absurdity of the idea and the president’s claims. Additionally, aren’t searches already somewhat regulated e.g.

I believe there are a lot of “tricks” engineers have developed to accomplish rendering goals that would be more natural with ray tracing. The added simplicity would lower the barrier of entry for more complex effects.

Can someone point me towards the deep learning tech they reference for improving ray tracing performance?

The increase also coincides with the change in federal administrations, and any number of other significant events. The title is unnecessarily suggestive. Edit: Someone else also pointed out the super bowl win, which is also a likely factor

Reminds of when I started reading Code Complete. The construction analogy really helped me conceptualize the difference between making a personal one-off project (like a shed) and an hardened mission-critical system requiring test suites fo
