It's relevant: * For projects where one of the main purposes is for the author of the project to learn said language * For projects which expose an API in their implementation language. In the case of an implementation of a programming

Hi, Your post is insightful, but it could really do without the inflammatory death-wishing in 2a.

I do agree with you, but in the specific case of free book sharing - I hear that most of the time, the problems is too many books rather than too few , so you should really not worry about taking a book even if you are not sure you'

Well, same issue and same solution (see other answers), except that in Rust, instead of `RuntimeException` it's named `panic`.

Well, what this API's implementer could have done, is to catch the IOException and throw RuntimeException. That makes sense, because there is no reason during normal program operation for this API to throw IOException, so if it does it

I did this back in high school. Turns out at some point I was able to wake up, walk to the computer (which I used as an alarm clock), stop the alarm, get back to sleep, and forget everything.

This is a list of known unknowns. Those are usually not a problem - the problems come with unknown unknowns.

I did this very long ago. It's possible but the documentation was nearly non-existant, it took me a long time to figure it out.

For some reason this announcement gets displayed to me in a unholy mix of French and English: > Electron 11.0.0 est disponible ! It includes upgrades to Chromium 87, V8 8.7, and Node.js 12.18.3. We've added support for Apple silicon

Poe's law in action: I'm unsure whether you are mocking people who do not read the article, or if you actually failed to read the article and thought that Ubuntu Mate was some kind of Ubuntu-branded yerba mate.

Actually, both notations are described by an international standard, according to Wikipedia [1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(mathematics)

Yes, it's standard in France at least.

Just being curious - if your parents are stuck with 10% interest rates while current interest rates are closer to 3%, why are they not borrowing a 3% to reimburse their 10% loan?

The point remains. The Linux branching workflow is vastly more complicated than what GP advocates.

Hi, This flow works under some conditions only: * You have working CI/CD that you can trust * You do not have to support old versions of the software Example of some situations where these conditions are not met: * Installs of your sof

No. The Linux Kernel uses release branches. This thread is specifically about rejecting the use of release branches.

I don't think that's what the parent comment is pointing at. What's throwing him off is static method dispatch based on type inference on the return value. Haskell, for example, does this too: class Foo a where foo :: a

That's my favourite explanation so far. That's how I would put it to the student: Yes, that's a perfectly correct operation. When you take 1/3 of the first table and you put them toghether with 1/3 of the second tab

I think the idea underlying this post is this: Sometimes you are creating an application and building its underlying datastore at the same time. Hasura is great for this. But sometimes you already have a disparate ecosystem of services and

Is it the same issue as the infamous "monads tutorials" problem, where the understanding takes a lot of time to infuse but looks obvious in retrospect when it finally clicks?

One thing that I like about the ".txt.vbs" trick is that: Ok, Windows was hiding the file extension, so users where not seeing the ".vbs". But users that were still seeing the ".txt" and thought that was a text

This is blogspam. One thing that did bother me: > Since the Julia-creators also wanted it to be easy to learn, Julia fully supports dynamical typing. But in contrast to Python, you can introduce static types if you like — in the way they

This sounds great! I have often felt the lack of a common language to specify for each review comment if an action is expected. This looks like this convention solves the problem with a nice Schelling point. nitpick (non-blocking): I won&#x

I find this comment and the one above way too harsh. The author of the article does not make any strong claim at "science"; it is written as a deliberately subjective series of musings.

They link to the `P` language, which I did not know about. https://github.com/p-org/P I found the link interesting because I have at times wondered what it would look likes if FSM were first class control flow features

Though it is probably not practical today, there exists a research field for this kind of problems. The keyword is "homomorphic encryption".
