Golang is my other language, and i must say it’s really one of my favorite, mainly due to all the things it chose not to do.

this trend of apple building api that only serves to make good-looking wwdc talks but fall short under real life usage is one of the worst things... It has now reached a point where people don't trust anything apple dev say during thos

by bsaul 3y ago
Agree. This was the first wwdc that really made me feel like apple's vision of the future is really not mine. And made me question my work choice as an iOS user and developer, this time from an ethical perspective.

I think a modern jet is similar enough to a bird that animals created millions of years ago (prehistoric birds) can have some basic understanding on how it behaves. What makes you think just because it’s millions of years more evolved we wo

Fulltime swift developer here : am i the only one that worries swift is evolving way too fast and adding way too many features, that make the language so bloated it’s going to reach C++ level of complexity in less than half the time ?

What would those logical inferences be ? I’m not sure i got your point right

Yes, that part also shocked me. It looks like they've completely lost their mind, and don't realize they're shooting a remake of black mirror..

for purely professional usage, it's still fine. But it'll remain quite niche.

I've seen a few examples on youtube of people following the GPS to their own peril ( the last one being, driving in the sea directly) However, the confusion i think comes from the fact that GPS is 99% of the time better than you at pic

With time i've come to realize any piece of engineering can be a source of inspiration, even to a software dev / architect like me. I feel like it took me a lot of time to figure this out, as i've got 20 years of experience.

i think its current popularity (still not top 10) and its learning curve makes it still very vulnerable to another language integrating something close to what the borrow checker guarantees without the hassle.

As a mentionned to someone else in the thread, i've realized that i was actually ok seeing less popular content straight from the remote control, than search for the top content in torrents. Ease of use and guaranteed video & subti

I get your point, and i may be in the same case as you in a few years (my projector is brand new). But that doesn't really disprove my point : when the legal streaming service is working fine, then it does have an immediate effect on

i was always skeptical on people saying that torrentz are a symptom of bad legal streaming services.. Well, i recently got myself a videoprojector with an android tv included, and since i happen to have an amazon prime account, i installed

I think you’re mistaken. Rust as a language is still very niche, and it has a lot of work to do become mainstream. This work is going to be accomplished (or not) by people very involved in the project’s governance.

a switch over a pair of two values of the same enum type, containing 18 cases (some with associated values). It breaks at around 50 cases in the switch.

by bsaul 3y ago
My most frustating error with swiftc is the switch on enum "not being able to complete in acceptable time" (or something like that). Basically, when you want an exhaustive check on combination of enums, you're often reaching

I’m always left wondering when such link void of any content reaches front HN.

sorry, i can't find the link back. Maybe it wasn't on the official site but from an old website. Another question i have : are there any kind of mechanism to ensure at least some kind of memory safety with regards to memory deallo

I keep talking to people about that scenario, of basically adopting the reproductive model of racing horses for humans, but it seems that nobody realizes how far we’ve already gone in that direction.

i just read the doc and saw a page saying stdlib only targets x86 arch at the moment ? so no arm ?

by bsaul 3y ago
this approach gets me really interested. What are the improvements i should expect in zig compared to C ? And how does zig stdlib compare to something like the go stdlib ( which to me remains the gold standard)

france used to be pro nuclear, but we've started the denuclearization process almost 15 years ago ( by not building new ones, not reopening restaured ones, and selling pieces of our companies that knew how to do it). It's now at

I would be curious to look at the raw numbers and how they were computed. France has been a net importer of electricity for a few years now, since we decided to shut down a few nuclear facilities. As a result we're importing a mix of e
