I wanted to like Atom but when I was trying it out it was awfully slow and additionally it was a real energy hog, draining my battery unacceptably quickly. Add to that the fact that I often need to edit text on remote machines via ssh and i

My work environment consists of <UNIX-like OS> + Vim + Tmux + whatever language/domain specific tools I need for the task at hand. I'm really interested in hearing success stories from people who were like me but switched to

I like this about Rust. Functions (top-level, at the very least) should always have their types annotated, as it makes the code easier to read and understand. The fact that it makes type inference easier (does it?) for the compiler is just

I may be reading this too late at night, but the theory seems to be that our benevolent, perfectly logical Ivy League-educated overlords regrettably have to break a few eggs to make a delicious omelette of economic prosperity for all, and t

I've been using it on my Mac since the post about it on here a few months ago and I've had no issues at all, though I haven't tried to do anything strange/difficult with it.

I've actually thought about Tribes a lot recently, what with the kerfuffle over hitboxes/tickrate in Overwatch, the architectural issues with The Division (bad game), and general netcode angst these days. I remember the Tribes exp

All other things being equal, hardware exclusivity is terrible for consumers. Oculus is free to do whatever they want, "fair" or not, and consumers are free to vote with their wallets in return. I think people have been particular

IIRC everything except Edge and Safari are forced to use Silverlight for Netflix streaming. I'm not exactly sure why this is, but it probably has something to do with the mess that is video codec licensing.

Given that basically everyone should be blocking ads (if for no reason other than that they are a vector for malware), native ad blocking is really an energy saving mode, a user experience improvement, and a crucial security measure all rol

Yes, given that my employer can decide to dismiss me with zero warning, I don't really feel a blanket obligation to give them any more warning than I'd expect them to give me (i.e. zero). I would give warning to my current emplo

Last time I seriously tried using it, it seemed unnecessarily CPU-hungry and my battery life suffered as a result. That fact alone was enough to get me to stop using it. I have a weird thing about inefficient software in general, but in thi

I think it's not so much a fundamental issue with "strongly typed" languages as it is the way "dynamic" languages are typically designed. For instance, Ruby doesn't care if you add an integral type to a floatin

My process in these languages (Haskell I know pretty well, now in the process of learning Rust) is to sprinkle in `undefined`s and `unimplemented!()`s and whatnot so I can continuously use the compiler to check my work without actually runn

It makes a lot of sense that bootcamp grads would outdo fresh college grads on "web system design"; they've presumably spent most of their bootcamp time focusing heavily on web systems. Stuff like load balancers/reverse

Doesn't the design of Go, the language, basically require that the implementation involve a runtime with a GC system? So that would make it a non-viable choice for programming in applications where memory footprint and real-time perfor
