I mostly like to choose a data structure that's handy for modeling the data I'm worried about first. Then I write code to manipulate that data, including getting it into and out of other formats if necessary. Then I worry about wh

For some applications, like an API-driven backend made to serve other applications, you can consider that the API itself really is your UI. It's how your users interface to your code. Your users just happen to be other developers whose

The community and their own time dealing with said community would both be fragmented. I have a feeling what they most want to do in maintaining the project is to spend time maintaining the project, not the infrastructure for distributing a

It is MIT licensed so one could host their copy or fork entirely elsewhere. It's available as a Rust crate, which doesn't seem to have the issues that concern you. The Discord part is a little harder to address. Contributing back

Sometimes the modular system is very flexible and straightforward. Other times the system really is modular, but makes many assumptions which make little sense to and are even difficult to foresee by someone less familiar with the overall s

This particular criticism is fair enough. Before Ada there was PL/1, too.

I used to see a lot of them in conferences where college students or industry folks had them for note taking and had a bigger, bulkier, more powerful computer elsewhere. As a primary computer they were lacking, but as a second one they were

Oh, sorry. I read your post originally as in-country meaning not cumbersome, as opposed to potentially cumbersome but less so than having to go to Estonia in person. Yes, New York and San Francisco are domestic for US folks obviously.

Is this an indictment of the language or the developer doing clever, terse quackery?

Cars can be driven safely, but often aren't. Alcohol can be consumed in moderation, but often isn't. Parents can raise kids without being emotionally and physically abusive, but often don't. Marriages can be healthy a

The US is a pretty big counter example. It's two major cities on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. That's a round-trip flight at least for people in most of the country.

APL is extremely high level but terse. Brainfuck is extremely low level with a very limited alphabet of input tokens. The two bear really no similarities. People who decry Perl as a "write-only language" have very rarely given Per

Oddly enough Portland, Oregon is named for Portland, Maine. If the coin toss had gone the other way it'd be named after Boston.

As for why people espouse them, I grew up in the stereotypical working class family of four. Two parents who weren't always happily married, one sister, and me in an 890 square foot 3 bed, two bath on a tiny lot. It was the largely Bla

Better unmanned than manned. They were advised of the risks with Challenger and killed the crew trying to prove they knew better than the engineers and technicians.

I think the author misses the point that often those poorer people who are victimized by criminals are then ignored or even endangered by the police response. Police budgets keep increasing and outcomes including percentage of solved crimes

Interesting concept, but a more modern, more secure set of tools at this level these days should be done in a language that makes secure coding easier than C. I get they want to easily offer a C-level API, but at least use something that ma

Oberon one could guess by seeing it's an OS and its implementation language, tightly coupled under the same name, that Oberon's ABI uses Oberon. Loosely defined, most embedded Forth systems act as an OS and they tend to use the sy

I'm not sure if I would accept the premise, but if we start from it I think the rest of the article makes some self-consistent sense.

I don't have the code handy, but I once was hanging out with a buddy in an OS/2 lab at uni and used copy con to write a reboot COM program. I meant it to be a soft reboot, but it ended up being a simulated hard boot.

Well, I think we're of two valid points of view on this one. You're saying Apple adds value to the CPU itself, which taken abstractly is true since they do have some advancements in the CPU and how they package it in the SoC. I&#x

The CPU/GPU/Memory SoC in a Mac is a line item, albeit a hefty line. The one in an iPhone is more so. They sell systems as their product, not retail box processors. It's thought an M1 cost them around $50 in a $2000 laptop.

I've been reading it's 10 to 20% of people who test positive have symptoms at least a month, and as much as 5 to 7% three to six months later. The US workforce is around 160 million people. About 60% of the population is estimated

It's difficult to be productive when you're waiting on a shipment of parts, for one thing. We've been working for decades to make industries work with more advanced logistics and less stock on hand. Now there are supply chain
