Well that's just like using C structs. The best serialization protocol :).

Agree, but I want to add that in the other direction I wish JS took some hints from Python: Mainly: (1) Richer standard api (there isn't even built-in 'range' in JS); (2) flexible indexing (negative indexes, tuple indexes, J

In my experience there is one situation where no code shines, namely, in enterprise support and deployment assisting software. I've worked at a company that sold products to enterprise. There you have programmers writing complex featur

Does anyone know if delimited continuations are on the roadmap with this? Potentially, virtual threads enable them (assuming a serializable environment) (co routines are also enough for this, the serialization capability is what I find int

From my experience you need to play a small political game, no way around it, what you want to do costs money and presents risk. If you believe it is necessary you need to find supporters in the management floor. Convince someone who can ac

It depends what you want to do and what you're good at. For example, if you're good in the academy thing and manage to get papers into top tier companies you will finish your PhD faster if you won't take breaks in the industr

How this compares with xv6 for first OS course purpose? Is it viable to use this to teach the same things? (Paging, inter process communication, threading...)

Have you tried looking at C++ standard library? This and in many other examples, you really shouldn't.

I agree. I don't see where what you wrote contradicts what I said.

You can declare Sometype|void return type. So the compiler will check that you either don't use the return type or treat it as Sometype. Of course this depends on the logic and for failed routes you should return appropriate results.

When you can train and evaluate quickly you can iterate through experiments faster and produce better models...

Glad it works for you, but doesn't sound like a generally applicabale approach. I really disagree with a couple of your statements: "The way to properly deal with trauma" there really isn't a proper way imo. Individuals

I think there has been a pradigm shift in this regard in the last decade. It really used to be about "dealing" with trauma. Now AFAIKT many psychologists believe that the end result matters the most. If you suppressed your trauma

I didn't know arXiv actually rejects papers based on content. I thought they just have a quick glace to see if it looks like a paper.

I assume you mean IBM's IMS. I don't think it was replaced for lack of flexibility. AFAIKT it was replaced (by those who could replace it. There are many that still use it. Like banks) because IBM didn't let it progress, basi

It's mostly stupidity and blind faith IMO. Most of those posts are reshares and its hard to find who actually was the first to refer to a paper. I once saw such a claim from antivaxers on Facebook and decided to try and read the paper

I just want to add that running in the browser does not mean running in the cloud or web. I actually once worked on enterprise software that used a browser as GUI. That's not at all bad. Of course there is always room for improvement.
