They are, if I'm understanding correctly, referring to what may be considered the 'traditional' OOP style (Animal, which has various properties and behaviours, is extended by Dog, which has its own properties and behaviours,

That actually sounds like an ok idea imo - some more quality of life features but with the small executables and fancy runtime of Go would be pretty nice.

They also tend to require proper pattern matching to be particularly useful, something which I can't see being added given Go's design philosophy.

I wouldn't go that far. Sure, it's not as cheap as it used to be, but the average Japanese person can certainly afford to shop there.

You're speaking as if LLMs are some naturally occurring phenomena that people are Google have tampered with. There's obviously always human intervention as AI systems are built by humans.

And the answer being "the limited number of local companies paying high wages and the limited number of American companies willing to hire someone in Eastern Europe reducing my leverage."

6,000,000 / 24 = 250,000 Seems like enough to me.

Could you elaborate? I don't see the connection.

To my knowledge, the fee is for the dev kit rather than the ability to publish on the app store. If it the aim was to prevent junk from being published, then surely the fee should apply at the point of submitting an app for review.

Most people I know tend to go about their business with some sort of bag on them.

Yes, that's the issue.

The improvement of AI lately doesn't invalidate his point though. I'm sure submarine technology has similarly improved but it's still irrelevant whether or not a submarine can be said to 'swim' not.

Why would execution speed be particularly relevant? Python is slow but that hasn't stopped many useful applications from being written it, plus proper use of libraries written in C (e.g., numpy) again mitigates the issue. From a learni

I'm not advocating in either direction, but I'm curious what elements of iOS's UX you prefer over Android's?

I would say that's more 'realistic' than 'cynical'. The current government is incredibly unpopular so it's no suprise that they'd latch on to something that will be universally seen in a positive light whe

Learning new languages may be component of it, but I think more generally, different languages are suitable for different problems and different developers. Being free to use the most suitable or preferred tool for a task is undoubtedly des

That is how it works in many (most?) countries already - the US is an outlier in requiring every citizen to handle their own taxes.

I've seen this claim thrown around a few times but haven't really seen any evidence that it's true, beyond a few unconvincing anecdotes.

Very unfair generalisation.

I would argue that it could be off-putting (it's probably one of the harder episodes to watch) but I don't see how it's not representative of the rest of the show.

Interesting, I didn't find it that impressive when I tried it a couple months ago and fairly quickly went back to regular old-fashioned autocomplete. What language(s) were you working with out of curiosity?

by bmoxb 3y ago
I haven't used C# enough to comment on the language itself, but I do know it was designed (at least initially) by Anders Hejlsberg who is very experienced in language design.

As a foreign tourist from presumably from NA or Western Europe, then it will seem pretty affordable compared to your home country. Relative to Japanese cost of living and average income however, certain lines and services can be pretty expe

It seems from my naive perspective that Google and/or Microsoft could modify their existing workspace products quite easily to make then suitable for use in hospitals, no?

I wouldn't say it's true in general. You can certainly choose what to put active effort into learning/revising, but memorisation isn't really something we have direct, conscious control over.

Based on my (somewhat limited) experience, most people are familiar with the phrase but wouldn't use it in any serious context.

That may be true but that won't stop people from trying to sue undoubtedly - clearly they've decided the effort and legal fees required to deal with that aren't worth it.
