All of the C versions post 99 or so probably have worse adoption. New versions of ALGOL, Visual Basic, Cobol. Being infamous isn't failure being unknown is a failure. Raku is a success I never have used Perl but I checked out Raku seem

Its not necessarily about how a language is syntactically or semantically it is about how the users and creators of a language talk about it and want it to be seen.

Its interesting to me to reclassify language schisms slash internal wars in this context. The C programmers(masochists) vs the C++99 programmers(Obsessives) vs C++11 programmers(Obssessives who want to move to Hysterical). The Raku vs Perl

Is there more? Yea. Do you need for most code ? No. Also I lied I have coded professionally in C++.

I guess I watched the back to basics c++ series on move semantics and its not really all that bad. I did struggle with it beforehand though. I've never worked in C++ tbh. I does take the 2 hours but you have it when you're done.

Its weird people don't compare Go to Kotlin. It has channels and coroutines. I think Kotlin does better with contexts and I think flows are a really cool addition. There does seem to be a lot there but honestly, it reminds me a lot of

So in this scenario are we essentially reimplementing Apache Kafka? Producers who create events that are then read by consumers and persisted on a database layer. What am I missing?

It is notable that this code forces a conversion to std::function which IIRC can actually require more space than the lambda it's attempting to store. For lambdas just use auto they don't have a type don't worry about their t

Sometimes I would almost advocate a little confusion because who is to say you've correctly identified the priority. Who's to say the bug is correctly triaged?

I don't know why you're being downvoted. The natural disaster is something that happened. That's the exact reason aid was delayed to New York and New Jersey post Hurricane Sandy. There really is no equivalency. Democrats when

More a robot that build robots. I mean like you are running a service and something automagically builds the automation for running that service given a few inputs.

Ask HN: Is there a such thing as an automation tool?

One of things that's obvious about the modern social network is that Whatsapp is the model more than facebook . I would even argue with you more so than even Instagram. Whatsapp is the myspace of those tools and Signal and Telegram see

Does it follow from this that while you could train a large machine learning program to do a task then separating it from a monolith into separable parts would be highly unlikely to be successful? For example,you could train an algorithm th

He was politely asked to stop. I believe it was folding at home(?) if I remember the story I heard correctly.

This is pretty much how I feel life is just too short to spend it coding in Go.

I can see where you're coming from and I'm sure it must feel that way but I'm not sure its actually true. Most of what's happened is that C++11 can be summed up into a few priorities. We want to make type deduction simpl

So I was thinking about something similar to this in the sense of a language where syntax was extendable but with making different choices. I was interested in forming some sort of base lingua franca with additional composable dialects that

If you remember the issue where SpaceX refused to move for the ESA sattelite. I think this a situation where space and air traffic control have to become more automated. This is like the beginning of an iteration in construction like the on

I feel like this and the motivation for golang are vaguely similar. Hear me out. The intention of golang in its language is to make complex things hard to do and make it easy to understand the language in any piece of code because there isn

Its not illegal to have a private club with membership rules that exclude women. There are still several golf clubs that do so. In fact in the US its not even illegal to openly discriminate in hiring as long as the business has less 14 empl

Instead of thinking of them in nice ways think of the by their pejoratives. Architecture Astronauts, Premature Optimizers and script kiddies. You personally are more of a premature optimizer than an Astronaut. Makes sense that there would

A good estimate based on Dept of Ed statistics is around 400*26k or a little over 10 million. He might be able to pay for 4 classes in fact.

I think this is a difference of degree but not kind. Duke still has tenured faculty. He is clearly not afforded the rights of tenured faculty. For this matter functionally he's an adjunct because that's how they ruled on him.

I think the way to read the response of the Faculty Comittee is this. He was an adjunct he hasn't earned the protection of academic freedom. He gets to keep his job if he fulfills what we feel like is necessary to be a member of our co
