One is a cultural matter: A design idea that no longer actively attempts to produce a language with few orthogonal features that work well together. The second is a side-effect: the more features you have in a language, the more complex new

I have a similar issue. I like the memory safety in Rust, but I don't like Rust: it limits my productivity for two reasons. 1. In order to reach memory safety it add abstractions that don't make programming simpler, but harder. 2.

Warning: CO2 is not always correlated with other kind of pollution. I live in Sicily where air quality is good, the climate is warm so we always have open windows. My Aranet tells me that in my office CO2 is around 500. However I've th

Totally useless given it's really inaccurate, and acrively dangerous as people will be considered not producing stuff they actually produced, in case of false positives: https://twitter.com/antirez/status/1620

So YouPorn is a medical device now. Seriously: those are not the sole studies showing those evidences. There are older with the same results. Religion and movements that prevent masturbation are disturbing from the point of view of the sexu

Hi! My purchase story was atypical: I saw the device, hit the official store, saw it available and just got it. Then I discovered I casually clicked in the exact right moment... No idea about their supply chain.

Maybe the commenter was just sarcastic? My 10yo daughter always tells me: when you like something, you remark it so much, dad. I just think it is important to celebrate other people accomplishments: it has good effects on the world.

A different take on the matter: I write code mainly artistically, and I found that C is one of the best languages available to code as a form of art. It allows to be both brutal and honest, or abstract and deceiving. Not many languages are

I use a Mac but have to resort to a Linux VM every time I need Valgrind. Using Valgrind C and C++ are much safer languages. Bugs are fixed in minutes and not hours. Apple not providing a stable port of Valgrind for MacOS is a major proble

I always thought list comprehension shows the problem with Python: too many ad hoc ideas. It's a language that looks like a lot more like a sum of many tools than a few well chosen orthogonal ideas. Ruby is a much better language with
