Please elaborate, on both counts.

Agree. When I first learned the subject, my first thought was: As fancy as that feature is, it should be called array memoization, or call stack memoization. The term "dynamic programming" should be reserved for something better.

Digital Mars was an awesome name. OpenD is not that awesome.

You just refreshed this memory for me: I remember 25 years ago when StarCraft was dead and Age of Empires was it. It happened at the same moment my university switched from C++ to Java. I hated that change. And I remember 15 years ago when

> To be clear, I meant that D could have been in the position of Rust today if done right. Exactly. One language died arguing about a feature (Dlang), two different languages, one without it (Rust), another with it (Golang) proved that i

I think this is the case of a few noisy people putting too much importance in a single feature, and ruining the whole for everyone else. If that argument were solid, Golang would not be more successful than Dlang, but reality is, Golang num

Performance and static binary compilation are available in 40-year-old languages, not forgetting Dlang, which is the central topic of this post. The only reason left to really use Rust is safety.

If that means the language will revive and all the work will not be lost, then it is fortunate, I would say. I am using Python every day. And there are many things from D which I miss. Not to mention the performance.

I agree that low quality content has always existed. But the issue is about the volume of misleading information that can be generated now. Anything legit will be much more difficult to find now, because of the increased (increasing?) volum

Of course. I may be paraphrasing a bit because I did not get the ad today. A recent app that has been spamming ads over my Instagram translates: I don't get it as: No lo obtengo When the correct translation in the context of the senten

More and more AI-powered language tools and applications are appearing. I have noticed this with Spanish: the translations from English are wonderful and skilful about 70% of the time, they could be improved about 25% of the time, and they

I have believed that to be the case for a while. It's perfectly logical, from a species point of view. I also think that we are hardwired not to be able to believe our own lies, because of this. There is (99.9% of the time) a tell, for

Someone needs to take a stand, so not all work places end up being so woke they are racist. Bring back common sense.

Also, in a business setting, RGB looks like it is not professional enough for serious processing. Personally, I don't like the LEDs in my GPU. It's the only hardware I have with pointless colouring, but there was no option without

Yes, too many cookbooks, "with solutions and examples", and no one writes good reference manuals any more. I kind of get it. I think about a problem, and I am solution focused. Furthermore, I want to learn what I need to implement

Can MIXXX be considered professional software? The skins are made using XML and QSS (Qt CSS). It's not web per se, but it is not too far from it either. I would say it's a combination of both, Web and Desktop technologies, into on

OK, let's say for your sake: democracy gives us some limited freedoms, that almost all other forms of government take away. It's not in the definition of autocracy that you should self censor if you live in one. In reality, it is

Yes, but only because in the general case, the actions are very limited by the controls of a car. Steering wheel, two pedals, that's only three axes of possible inputs.

All you say is true. Even then, that's many orders of magnitude easier than predicting all possible chemical interactions of a given compound.

I disagree. I think this desire to belong to a group is a very strong instinct, and it will be the strongest during our teenager years, up until we are 25 or so. It is a biological imperative, not just a cultural construct. Now, the size of

Democracy gives us freedom. And that freedom carries the weight that now our decisions matter more, and help from our peers is less, and we can make shitty decisions that affect our lives. We can be stuck in dead-end jobs, and it will be ou

I am a foreigner currently living in Bulgaria. I don't see what are these postmodern, cosmopolitan and American ideas. Can you explain yourself better? What I read was something different: The eternal search for a meaningful existence.
