How did you get this impression? No, we are not in a true Scotsman situation. In order to establish that some language is faster than the other, you can devise a convincing metric. It will have to state what are the aspects that you are g

Language either has a standard that defines what the language is (and isn't), or it has something similar to a standard (which makes the definition more vague). In either case, there will be some sort of a document accepted by the majo

Well, people who write such benchmarks have no business writing benchmarks, and the comments to such comparison would usually say as much. Such benchmarks don't compare anything in a meaningful way, and, in the second case, don't

Now, I often get downvoted because I (wrongly) chose a hill to die on... but this one? Come on guys!? JavaScript is described in a standard that's like 50 pages PDF, most of which isn't code... Python has hundreds of modules in

I wish people who aren't in the business of testing had a bit more awareness of the unknown (to them) unknowns... The article takes a tiny slice of Python: two exceptionally simplistic algorithms that aren't representative of an

JavaScript has, basically, no library to speak of. The language is very small. Python comes with a lot of stuff, and that stuff is of very variable quality and performance. So, if you are trying to benchmark two languages against each

No, not really. It's a concept from the bygone era, before X-as-a-service took over a lot of software categories. It was intended to minimize friction between the QA and the development teams at the time the product was handed to QA.

Shift-left comes from the world before everyone was selling services. In that world shipping service packs was the way to fix problems discovered after a release, and releases were years apart. From a QA perspective, I greatly regret that

To the best of my knowledge: * In Israeli high-school the system requires from students to take a number of credits in various disciplines. Some number of credits for certain disciplines is mandatory, while most are elective. Taking the m

EpsilonGC is a GC in the same sense as a suitable-size stick is a fully automatic rifle when you hold it to your shoulder and say pew-pew... I mean, I interpret your comment to be a joke, but you could've made it a bit more obvious for

Oh no it isn't. Garbage collector needs to prove that what's being collected is garbage. If objects get collected because of an error... that's not really how you want GC to work. If you are looking for an apt metaphor, Sta

Oh but I do. There's no shortage of phony self-centered people in the world around me. Through a little effort and a ton of luck I ended up living and interacting with a lot of entitled people, obsessed with their petty tragedies whi

"Emotional" is the kind of half-truth word. There are many different emotions. The emotion in question is what's responsible for the response. Saying "emotional" is omitting the important part. It's like sa

I don't "have hardship". I don't struggle. With all that happened in my life, I'm still among the vanishingly small group of people who have it too good to complain. Whatever your fortune or misfortune opens you t

This is less about the series of photograph and more of a response to a bunch of other disjoint top-level responses in this thread.

People are made of the same things. They aren't somehow incomparable. Someone with living and attentive parents, who lived in good health to their nineties, lived in their own home, in a well-to-do country, where their child came to v

I was recently recommended the book The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. And while people who recommended this book said they had an epiphany moment reading it, all I saw there was a story of someone who's been served everything in their

You just repeated what I wrote, but tried to make it a counter-argument? That makes zero sense... But later you demonstrate that you have no effing clue, not even the basic outline of what can possibly qualify to be a war crime. And this

Yes, it is addressed to the citizens of Lebanon... why would you think this is a necessary detail to clarify? It is a threat, alright, but it's only realistic to say that if Hezballah is where it is, then these citizens of Lebanon are

And... what's the problem with Gallant's statement? Where's any calls to the genocide in it? It says that if Hezballah chooses to fight the same way Hamas is fighting (i.e. by hiding behind civilians, occupying civilian infr

It's the same thing honestly. Facebook has a boatload of projects that have nothing to do with Web. They probably spend more on their ML stuff than any other department in terms of infrastructure / resources. At one point I ran

What I really dislike about this article is that it uses of "Web" and "Internet" interchangeably. Both technologies have problems, but they are different. It also feels like deflecting the blame (possibly unintentional

I have no words. You really have no idea what those words you read mean, do you? No, denying work permits is not a war crime. You took the quote out of context and have no clue what it refers to. No country owes it to another country to

Whoa, a flashback! Many, many years ago I worked on online presentation software that dynamically assembled Flash clips from clip-arts / user-provided graphics and text. There was a lot of parsing and reassembling of SWF involved. T
