Is that really true with limited imports though, and/or with precompiled bytecode? I was surprised to find that Ubuntu’s handler for unknown commands that tries to suggest what you could apt install is written in Python. I’ve never not

Microsoft's new strategy has not happened to the detriment of quarterly numbers, on the contrary.

Microsoft does exactly that, they're called Secure Access Workstations, and they're used for all sensitive work. You can find some details here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity&#x

But it's not widely available from cloud providers at the moment, particularly if you want meaningful remote attestation to work.

They vastly exaggerate their popularity, helped by the lack of publicly available information. The number of quants writing q is dwarfed by those writing Python, Scala or even Slang. First Derivatives’ revenue last FY was ~200m and their pr

No they don't, GS strats have overwhelmingly used Slang/SecDB for many years now.

French here, I absolutely agree. Specifically, American English would be preferable because it is what’s spoken widely outside Europe, and its spelling is somewhat more regular (as well as historically accurate!). I wonder to what extent co

Nothing gets increased unless you think her customers just wouldn’t shop at all if it wasn’t for her, or would somehow do so in perfectly safe and carbon-neutral ways.

Our team has been using remote VS Code to build our project on Azure Confidential Compute VMs. The tool is amazing, and is a massive improvement over all other remote dev solutions we’ve tried. Thank you!

Depends, it might also be a feature if you suspect people under-report their drinking. Your non-drinking group may in fact be drinking just as much as your moderate drinking group.

I’ve used mermaid for documentation, through plugins for mkdocs and Sphinx. What’s great about it is that the diagrams are stored as readable source text in the documentation, which is easy to diff and modify along with the rest of the doc

But they will be knowledgeable in something that is only tangentially related to systems programming. You are potentially missing out on a lot of talented systems programmers who are not willing or able to put up with terrible build and pac

Dealing with unnecessary build and packaging complications, often dictated by legacy constraints, is a distraction for a systems programmer and does nothing for the quality of the software itself.

100% means nothing, but 30% means something is wrong. Coverage tells you nothing, but the absence of coverage is interesting and useful.

But if someone gets a bulb from your bins that you’ve thrown away because it was defective in some way, and gets access to your WiFi that way, it’s a bit annoying.

So you have any links? I’m very curious, and a quick search did not turn up anything.

As a counterpoint to that, another change happening in the industry now is the increasing tendency to delegate more and more to ML models, which are even less amenable to formal verification than mainstream PLs.

Rust has const fn, which are very similar to constexpr (although the limitations aren’t quite the same).

It is possible to do redefine NaN as something different than what IEEE 754 contains, but it will surprising to some users, and it will come at a performance cost because you can no longer let the hardware handle all float comparisons direc

No, because x < NaN and x > NaN are false for any value of x.

But the flip side may be that since it is lighter than « legal punishment », individuals don’t benefit from the same due process and recourses they otherwise have.

Sure, sometimes someone with the ability to do so needs to make a call and decide if the issue is to be treated as a bug or a feature request. It does not follow from it that planning and bug tracking are the same thing and are best done wi

A bug is a difference between the intended behaviour of the code and what it actually does! If you regularly can’t decide what tickets are, then you must be working on something that is especially under-defined and under-documented. I would

A good bug entry is (completely) unlike a project planning entry. It comes with detailed environment and repro instructions, artefacts such as logs and screenshots. It’s an investigation, not an item in a wish list, and it’s ideally a place

What gets measured gets done. If closing lots of tickets is seen as productive, you not only get lots of very granular tickets, but all sorts of grouping tickets and epics as well!
