It’s the opposite in cpp: unsigned integer overflow is undefined but signed overflow is defined as wrapping

I don’t think they meant it literally. They were responding to the comment that their job was “like” managing a portfolio of investments. And in that respect the strategy of diversifying “like” with an index fund seemingly appealed to the c

The article doesn’t say that the ocean is irrelevant just that it’s not the oceanic currents that dominate. The main thing is just having an ocean at all coupled with prevailing winds being west to east. Hence Seattle, which is mild but doe

Sufficiently unexpected (surprising) is cursed. If anything, that’s the way most people use that term for programming language constructs (weird coercions in JavaScript, conflicting naming conventions in PHP, overflow checks that get era

Some of the peace of mind comes just from knowing it’s someone else’s (technical) problem if the system goes down. And someone else’s problem to monitor the health of it. (Yes, we still have to monitor and fix all sorts of things related to

Most languages have a way to represent a blob of bytes that you don’t care about the internal shape or meaning of. The point of parsing is to validate the stuff that you want to use. To use the Zod example from up-thread, you can use z.unkn

You need clock based wage labor for that. Which only really starts with the Industrial Revolution

“Most” react apps needing “seconds” definitely needs some citation or evidence. Even in fairly heavy and laggy react apps, it’s still usually network latency, waterfall requests, ad/tracking bloatware, large asset sizes, and the usual

Oh I wasn’t saying the two crimes are comparable in their own terms. But specifically the statements made by the comment I responded to apply to larceny as well as to piracy.
101.
by alpinisme 1y ago
The same could be said of grand larceny. The difference would seem to be a mix of social norms and, more notably for this conversation, very different consequences.

The problem this is meant to solve is that sometimes a human thinking about the logic of the program can see it is impossible to reach some code (ie it is statically certain) but the language syntax and type system alone would not see the i

Why are you trying to run this on the client? At the time you’re shipping code you’re already past the point of comptime. It’d be wasteful to do anything client side beyond execute the code you sent.

by alpinisme 1y ago
Oh, I get the value of comptime! I was specifically responding to the rust-like macros comment
106.
by alpinisme 1y ago
That particular example is odd. What are you gaining by having a macro that needs a compile step vs no macro and just configuring your compile step to use a JSX loader for js files?

You’re projecting the mimetype idea from two examples but the proposal is intentionally agnostic about what type might be used for: > This proposal does not specify behavior for any particular attribute key or value. The JSON modules pro

I did say easy and by that I also meant lightweight. You can just use a string not an object with a relatively esoteric symbol in addition to whatever serializable value you need.

Some people hate enums but they’re the only easy form of nominal typing in typescript, and for that alone you can pry them from my cold dead hands.

That may be widely believed but there are plenty of government institutions that actually function well. Libraries are a good example. What’s more: the belief in govt “inefficiency” is one of the hardest to overcome factors that makes it ha

One of the quirks of the current system is that subsidies are pitched as decreases to what one owes in taxes. There would be more transparency (but more overhead) if everyone paid full sticker price for taxes and then the govt separately ga

The parent comment was about how you should only take loans if you expect a return on the investment greater than the interest. Not about the bank.

You may be able to draw one that way but it completely neglects the way people use the term ordinarily “a steep learning curve” is not an easy to learn thing. In point of fact, I think the intended chart of the idiom is effort (y axis) to r

The assumption you are making is that students consistently using llms is required by the best curriculum. That’s a big assumption. There may be value educationally in forcing students to learn how to do things on their own that an llm coul

I don’t know that it’s “obvious” that anything more is happening than the simplest explanation that the current administration (and its lackeys at the lower rungs of government power) is delighting in humiliating and disempowering its criti
