I didn't know why people fork repos arbitrarily on their GitHub. I thought they were doing that unnecessarily before cloning or something. So this is the reason?

Buddhist swastika is counterclockwise. Hindu Swastika is clockwise. None of them are tilted like Nazi swastika, though.

I haven't significantly changed with my KDE config in an year or maybe more. It has all features I need, many which I need to install a 3rd party app on windows, and is faster than windows. I think that's as 'boring' as

I am curious as to what most westerners react when they see a Hindu swastika? Is it common knowledge that there's a Hindu/Buddhist swastika or is it percieved as Nazi swastika?

This was such a footgun! This may be fairly intuitive if you know how shell redirection is implemented. But hard to think of that during the time you write a command.

Exactly. The person who asked 'is HN becoming an echo chamber?' would've got their answer by now.

The courses that teach SE tools (MIT's Missing semester) are well received. I can understand the resistance for focusing on specific frameworks or dumbing down the syllabus. What I think is there deserves to be one or two full pledged

> Slow compiles are an issue with C++ templates. As far as I know Rust has the same problem although to lesser extent. Monomorphization works well with judicious use. C++ STL is not written like that, they depend on 11111 layers of inlin

and disadvantages being it will be never as clean, as easily optimizable or debuggable, as the one implemented in language. UFCS is better than C++ ranges. builtin sum types are better than std::variant, etc..

We don't know of a way to implement generic types without (vtable dispatch + boxing) cost AND without monomorphization cost. Some languages do former, some latter, some combination of 2. Monomorphization: * code bloat * slow compiles *

There's highly tuned java software too, like Lucene, do you call java a systems language? All in all I think the semantics debate is irrelevant. No one is going to use go for an OS only because someone on internet calls it a systems la

This is apparently focused on efficiently accessing off-heap memory. In Jni lot of things require copies. Only JNI API that's reliably copy-free is ByteBuffer API.

I think this answer does not emphasize the main point enough. It's not about the quality of chromium at all, only ubiquity. Web developers are cheap, its easy to port website's code and slap UI on it. That is the _main_ point. The

generic is really useful, but map-filter-reduce doesnt work well in go, youre just retrofitting it from your favorite language. The place for generics in Go is data structure libraries, ORMs etc..

I think the word you're looking for is Monomorphization, and AFAIK it's only C++ and Rust that completely monomorphize.

Is there a reason classic grep or find utilities do not use multithreading? It takes 5-6 seconds to search for some files on my machine. Would'nt it be an easy win if `find` had spawned 4 threads?
