So, Lionel knew how to implement a 3D Renderer, but had no clue about O(n) complexity neither other sorting algorithms? I am buffled

it's pointless and I don't see what to love about it

at that point, almost anything compiled will be at least an order of magnitude faster than python

I had to run it to believe, I confirm it's 183 seconds(!) for python3 on my laptop Also, OCaml because I was interested (milliseconds): ocaml(int,noalloc,native) = 2022 ocaml(int,alloc,native) = 2344 ocaml(int,untagged,na

Mehh, this cannot be a general reason. I have never heard of that tool, and I bet nobody in my company neither. This still requires Javascript as it says on the main page, and I am not in the mood to learn Javascript

Ask HN: Any reason why TUI aren't more used as internal tools?

Is this even a serious question? You got to be either blind or a troll. Russia has literally started a war in European continent, did you expect EU to pat them on the back? EU tries hard not to provoke another major conflict, but it obvious

I guess like optimizing for throughtput != optimizing for latency

when outputting lots of information (like a running game) i found that a "csv-like" format is actually the best compromise between readability and being structured. Just log "header_1;header2;... value_1;value_2;..."

Libraries!!! Python is "batteries included" while OCaml barely has insulation around electrical wires. EDIT: okey that actually maight be a chicken-egg reasonning

TIL that Ocaml/SML are compiled into lambda expressions... I literally thought lambda calculus is only used in CS classes. OCaml's syntax is pretty annoying but type inference is actually amazing.. I changed my mind over it, as pr

What is a valid reason to add a "null" into a modern language? I thought it's a commonly established truth that it has been a mistake

Wow, looks like TCL is "the better bash"

I kinda wish OCaml had more traction

Well, the problem is more often than not, I am an employee. I won't come to a company and tell them "you have been using that wrong". So while correct, your statement is void of any actionable advise

Landing in a large-ish python project without type annotations is a pain. Author says that he won't use type annotations because they "can be wrong", well, you only rely on variables names and documentation for that, you have

I feel triggered when a recruiter contacts in a non-gendered form, while I clearly look a like an average MALE on my picture. Do I look feminine? Haven't you seen my picture? Is it a mass-message designed to be as much sly, sneaky and

Why would one want to write a module instead of using a library to achieve the same?

> "I was asked to give a 'privilege disclaimer', essentially stating that if I didn't look like I did I wouldn't have been able to succeed..." What??

just like sometimes we prefer to reason on limits rather than on concrete values, I believe some straw mans are "useful limits" to reason about some concepts

Such precedents simply indicate immaturity of the developer behind it. I hate XXX (insert any English speaking politician from Western World), yet I am speaking in English. Shock! Tools are a-political. Could you believe that?
