You are talking about GPLv3, of course. In any case, this was posted along the discussion here, and you might find it interesting: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.en.html

It was a single province, which at the time had around a third of the population indeed. Their signature was not required for the constitution to enter in effect. It was desired (it still is) but since the refusal was (and still is) mostly

Not sure if naïveté or innocence, but I think you are overestimating the GPL efforts by a lot. RMS may not be a fool but he is still American (and not a lawyer). I don't think he was focused in solving licensing/copyright issues i

You can implement a linked list in safe Rust (even a doubly linked list if your prefer), there are a number of examples available if you google for it - for instance: https://gist.github.com/matey-jack/3e19b6370c6f7036a

Bugs are infinitely more expensive to fix in production. The best example is 737 Max - how do you quantify monetarily the lost lives? The reputation damage? The lawsuits? The future contracts that were lost? But you don't have to go to

Check the article from Scylla again: it's 5% difference between linux-aio vs io-uring, and 42% between sync vs io-uring. Tokio benchmarked io-uring vs epoll with synchronous I/O, so "up to 60%" is within the expectations

I mentioned 3 points, you addressed one for a very specific scenario. In any case, even if you say your list has adjacent elements, the other two points still apply. I don't know why you keep bringing this algorithm to the discussion,

Everything you mentioned can be done with statically allocated arrays - if you have known bounds - or lists of large arrays, as mentioned before. Lists will eventually become a problem since your next/prev pointers may not be pointing

Since when is a complement a replacement?

by ameixaseca 6y ago
Rust is not mentioned as a replacement but as a complement to OCaml in the article.

About the first point, remember you might have to maintain or refactor code you wrote 5-10 years ago. You will have a different experience level from your past self and likely won't remember why you did a number of architectural decisi

I think he already knows the answer, since googling this exact expression gives a very clear response. It looks more like an exclamation of "this doesn't mean anything to me", which I understand and partially share as well.

I don't want this to sound like a criticism, but I would like to understand your point of view: do you really consider this a reason for choosing a language over any other? Even if you had to use notepad to program - or had very basic

I like how the comment referenced in the article with the description "Rust itself can't even properly clean up its own memory" was answered today saying the restriction of unwinding on oom is going away; it's not a fun

It doesn't look like he is criticizing welfare per se, but the fact that the welfare system is built in a way to punish the poor even more. Or even the health system, which treats the poor but puts them in huge debt. The critique seems

Interview questions should be trivial examples so you can see if the candidate know what programming is or how to program on the language, not what libraries he/she knows. Ideally nothing that depends on any particular OS std libraries

Please see [1]. Around 28:45 the talk moves to effect types. At around 29:25 the proposed mechanism (with throw) is literally described as "checked exceptions". AFAIK, this is all part of the roadmap. [1] https://www.ja

This is my preferred translator when the translation does not involve English (for instance, German to French or Portuguese). Google is generally not very good in these cases and it tends to be pretty terrible (ie, wrong) in general.
