I think Rust has shown very well how ROP with first-class syntax support pretty much eliminates all boilerplate code. IMHO Rust nailed error handling with the `Result` type/trait.

Java has/had a compiler check that forced you to write catch blocks or `throws` annotations in/on functions that call other functions which might throw. The feature is called "checked exceptions" and I believe it has be

What I don't get about these examples is how the HTML from the responses should actually be rendered. I assume no frontend would want to render the HTML as is. Hence they would need IDs on those DIVs to style and place them. But wouldn

This awkward dance is due to destructors/finalizers calling `Dispose()`. Since JS doesn't have those, this shouldn't be an issue.

Technically the same could still be the greatest fear of parent, but that wouldn't be relevant in the given context.

Congrats on the launch! I've finished three of the challenges so far and I can highly recommend it. They make it very easy to get started and the automated tests are just super slick. It's just such a good learning platform where

I did the SQLite challenge in two languages and it's a very small subset of SQL. For instance it's sufficient if you're implementation of WHERE only accepts equals expressions with a column name on the left and a string value

While I agree that legacy media is very slowly killing itself, I'm very much less optimistic about it, because I don't buy into that brave new world of independent artists. The author totally ignores their dependency on the platfo

I've been developing with C# professionally since 2012. I'm using dotnet core since the 3.1 release. Pros: - Superb IDE. Nowadays even without Resharper, which was a must have in my early C# days. - Massive standard library and ex

I always found it funny how AI researchers are desperately trying to create consciousness so their machines will finally pass as human. All the while the key to being human lies in the unconscious.

Parent only claimed that most Haskell packages are pure and thus cannot execute impure side-effects. They didn't say anything about the overall number of dependencies.

Nice, every language should have a Result/Either Monad. Why not make it a functor too and add map()? ok(1) |> map(fn v -> v + 1 end) # ok(2) Of course you can also make it a bifunctor by implementing bimap(). And what about filte

The SIFT algorithm discards low contrast keypoints. In the beginning the surface looks quite blurry (it seems the camera is auto-focusing the heat shield) which probably causes only low quality keypoints to be found on the surface. Addition

Because one can recognize the signs of pseudoscience even without knowing anything about the subject matter. E.g.: - obscuring language - missing references and/or imprecise citations BTW your link does not explain what a prompt is.

Exactly my thoughts. The article is all pseudoscientific hogwash. I skimmed through to understand what it's about or at least to know what a "prompt"/"spaced repetition" is. I still don't know, but I bet i

I've been anxious about posting this here for weeks now. I figured that it's too niche or too trivial to be interesting. But today I saw a CSS file hitting the frontpage so I guess I just worried to much. The idea is simple and fu

Ok, now it makes more sense to me. Thanks for clearing that up!

I'm confused. Why does this get to the front page and why does it have over 200 stars on github? I'm not a webdev at all, but this just looks like 100 lines of trivial CSS to me. What am I missing?

There is no "we" or "us". There are just a couple hundred nations with different interests. If there really was a global movement superseding national governments then human civilization might have a slim chance, but o

What's so interesting about this? Climate change will have killed off all civilization long before 2500 anyway. As an exaggerated analogy consider a bus full of people seconds before it drives off a cliff. This paper would then be the

Since C# 8.0 we have not only nullable value types (e.g. `int?` or `Nullable<int>`), but nullable reference types as well (e.g. `string?`). This means it's possible to have a maybe monad that does not require an extra generic typ

Well, functional languages really only distinguish between data and functions. They usually also lack control flow structures, because they are composed of expressions rather that statements. Given those properties, I think data-flow diagra
