I do agree with you with the measuring aspect. Part of building high-performance systems is being able to measure performance in an accurate and actionable way, and consequently optimise code paths that have significant performance impacts.

It could probably be done using conditional builds for which there is support for in cargo, though that would require the programmer to write two versions of the same code. I doubt that it is possible for the compiler to do this optimisatio

Also unbelieveably, Rust has failed to address package balkanization which I would say has ruined the Node community. I'd say that this is more of a culture thing rather than a language thing.

Use polymorphism sparingly I think it is a little ironic that he speaks of performance culture but simutaneously advises to use dynamic dispatch and avoid polymorphism. I can see the justification in non-critical code paths, but serialisa

It's not causing cousumer price inflation, but it definitely is causing price inflation in other parts of the economy (equities, real estate, startup valuations etc.).

Not only in the history of money, but in the history of humanity. Think of all the lost prosperity that has been siphoned off since 1971 and the collective rise in living standards people could have afforded. We are very comfortable as tech

Very interesting article. I think what a lot of these articles lack is a discussion of the role that monetary policy plays in the financialization of the American (and, indeed, global) economy. While I agree that there are other factors tha

As far as I understand the specific law in question, you are disqualified for a investment residency if the money you are using to invest is borrowed from someone else.

Conversely I think there are a lot of vested interests in favour of keeping the status quo - I imagine there is a lot of money that is being poured into defense contracts for the War on Drugs, not to mention the private prison industrial co

I've implemented this pattern a handful of times, and if done in a team I think it manages the complexity of large software projects in a way the traditional MVC pattern simply cannot do. The real value of this kind of architecture is

"Doesn't work either" is a subjective opinion. It "won't work" as prices would likely skyrocket the day after such controls were abolished, but I'm not so sure it would be the same after 5 years. In the lo

This is categorically false. The gold standard (albeit a reduced version of it established under the Bretton-Woods monetary regime) was abolished in the United States as recently as 1971. In Switzerland this link was abolished in the early
