Good for you, you did the right thing. Maybe you would have shoe horned some fix, but honestly, screw it. Imagine waking up at 5am and forcing yourself to work on a company that you knew wasn't going to make it.

JavaScript is nutty but let's be honest, js is one of the most widely used programming languages. For better and for worse. I don't think go lang will die out because it does get some things right. Unfortunately, there's stil

Go has some appeal in general. It's super easy to stand up webby glue appy things in go, and it has a solid cloud ecosystem, maybe the best cloud ecosystem. That said, people ragging on rust pushing that trope are basically just making

The only game thing I've seen written in Julia was a map editor for Celeste. Turns out the author got too encumbered by the build process/release cycle/dealing with julia they switched to I think lua. Julia is a fine language

Earthbound snes. Yes you fight things with frying pans, yoyos, etc but the only violent scene in the whole game is a fly dies in a very dramatic way. All of the fights are turn based without violent animations. The story is great, but don&#

Yea the original post reads like "you cannot get rusts' async to do anything useful" and then there were hundreds of trolls jumping in "the language is unreadable" train. "oh yeah, no one can actually use rust

I was making new accounts for each different topic I posted on. For example I only used this account for this entire topic. I'll stick with crabby grabby. Sorry didn't know.

Rust removes a lot of the debugging and performance tuning, that happens later in production. Is it easier/faster while you are learning. Nope. When you understand it, sure it could be. This depends on the person. Just like how someone

This is a pretty weird example. Why do you want to sum over a tuple of different data types in the first place? This kind of has a code smell I can't put my finger on... Fwiw rust doesn't let you dynamically index tuples, because

I appreciate your view on scala and rust. I was around when scala became popular and wrote it in industry for a while. It wasn't a great time. I think rust differs from scala in what it is trying to do. I also think rusts' complex

That is an option, or if you don't want to deal with a GC because it's eating 70% of your clock cycles under load you can use rust get performance gains and still be writing safe code...

Thank you Steve. There is so much misinformation surrounding rust it's unreal... It's also kind of normal to you know tweak a language so it integrates with an OS better... Even if they did change their allocator, who cares?

Unsafe in rust means you are skirting guarantees given by the language. It doesn't mean the code will blow up when run. It's just an explicit way to tell the compiler you are operating at your own risk. So when you do get UB from

Probably depends on what you are using and trying to do. So I'll say 'maybe'.

It's all unpublished unfortunately. I don't work in this field, I just started doing it because I have had such a rough ride in industry and needed to work on some kind of plan for setting up a company that wasn't riddled wit

The day someone proposes solutions to the dynamics of people in the work place will be a good day. I've run simulations of subject matter similar to this. The complexity is brutal, and so far I've come up dry in actionable work to

Null safety sounds great. My big gripe was all of the symbols and how they had different meanings in different contexts. That said, in most cases it's not a real problem, but with a team you can end up with some messy stuff.

In a lot of cases knn doesn't model systems appropriately unless you understand the space very well. At least knn offers some sort of theoretical assumption of the bayes error rate though so it's a decent tool.

With small datasets you need to know how the concept drifts well enough to model it or model the failure modes. That's half the game in my opinion.

When you can model a system using physical or known principles the data points are mostly there to prove the model is valid. Also they usually aren't randomly chosen data points like in ML they are chosen via statistical theory. The di

Machine learning on small data, oh you mean statistics? I'm trolling a bit here, but this is what domain experts and scientists have been doing for about a century. It's a much harder area to hang out in, and pays way less unless

Won't let me reply to fizzynut, but this is a reply to you. Yes making data structures is important, and the reality of that is, there are people in the ecosystem creating fancy ones which can be leveraged for your use case. If that do

Go now has generics. The performance of using them is hit or miss it seems. Your opinion is valid, but I would say, if you aren't juicing for the best performance, you can adopt easier patterns to async. There are comments on this post

The advanced documentation is also incredible and crystalized a lot of cs concepts for me. There is no impedance mismatch between the beginner docs and the advanced ones, they reference extra learning materials... Super greatful for everyon
