Absolutely agree. Some people still don't realize the difference between a cryptocoin that has no intrinsic value, and a real currency which will always be used for at least two things : - pay the salaries of state workers - pay your t

Anyone knows if this is some kind of proof-of-concept language ? Or is there any plan on getting this thing supported in the long run ? I've always loved dave abrahams contributions on swift forums, and with the recent departure of chr

i wouldn't be surprised if eth survives but btc don't. Ethereum has actually built something on top of its coin, thanks to smart contract. To my knowledge, BTC is pure speculation.

As a backend-now-fullstack dev, i can tell you mobile dev is actually harder than backend now. At its beginning, mobile apps were just a few simple screens mostly querying a server. It is now closer to the gigantic desktop apps of the 90s (

that's one cause. Inflation can also be caused by imbalance between demands and supply, outside of monetary considerations. (eg : bad weather impacting crops production resulting in increased food prices for a year, or a war imposing b

"Upgrading from an 8 year old intel model to an M1/M2 model is going to feel like strapping on a jetpack." i did just that, and it simply felt "normal" again after years of increased slowdowns on every macOS update

I really don't feel legitimate to update a wikipedia article about Y-combinator, sorry. The bar is too high :)

it would be interesting to understand what is different now. Because IMHO it's never 100% full circle. It looks like we're back at the same point, but there are usually crucial differences in the implementation details that make

thanks for the clarification. I think to have read that vaccine was in fact observed spreading much further than expected, reaching organs everywhere. Since you seem knowledgeable, can you confirm ?

i've read this article multiple times, and i have to say it is absolute garbage. This general layman description ( which i never noticed before) should really be at the beginning and not buried deep after pages of lambda calculus expre

i've read about y-combinator a few times, but i must say your fours paragraphs are the most enlightening i've ever read. You should add them to the wikipedia introduction's in the ycombinator page.

not a biologist by any mean, but i think location is very important, especially for an air transmitted disease like covid : mouth / nose / lungs are all part of the "outside" of your body, aka the mucosa. That's

From an historian POV, those closed-data communication platforms are going to end up as a black hole. So much of our life has happened through them, and yet will be invisible to historian. It's really a problem.

i don't see how apple think swiftui can compensate for not being cross platform. At thid point, unless you really need to reach the absolute top of UX, there is no reason not to go for react native, or flutter. Knowing that videogames

i've been developping for 20 years, and 10 years on iOS as a freelance. I've seen all the horrors, and i can now safely claim that all the problems i've seen on iOS development come from not designing the model layer properly

No i'm not sure, that's just what i understood from reading the article, which only mentions race conditions and something looking like a deadlock. You think it could be a deadlock in the memory allocator ?

by bsaul 4y ago
I would have agreed with you if the problem they faced was a memory allocation issue. However, in the case of deadlocks and race conditions, i don’t think low-level languages make the problem any easier to understand, quite the contrary i’d

The ones i saw when i visited SF clearly didn’t come there to benefit from anything. They were zombies walking the street with saliva dripping from their mouth. I can’t imagine that this is with 15B spendings. It also makes me wonder what i

Why getting rid of debt ? I think that if your job is secure then on the contrary it seems like the perfect time to borrow as much as you can at fixed rates to benefit from inflation..

Good design can be performed with any language. However, many language distract you from what good design is all about : thinking deeply about what your particular problem is about. The go programming language, because it is so minimalist,

i've always wondered how that worked. Is it simply a statistical side-effect of people having read about one thing will post & like other posts about the same topic ?

My advice is : work with more senior people. It seems to me that people with 10/15+ years of experience will judge this hype train more severely than younger ones. The dangerous spot is engineers with 5-10 years of xp who have become g

Swift has great support for enums (and ADT in general). That's about the only thing i miss when i switch from swift to go. Generics and protocol oriented programming is nice, but the ergonomics makes it still not that enjoyable (you st

why would people spend that much energy if they've got basically so very little thing to say ?

i don't think people will spend the time to inflate the number of words on every short message they want to post. They'll just be lazy a post elsewhere.
