Knowing how to design and structure maintainable code is a must for any successful code base to remain manageable over many years. Clojure, in the hands of someone that knows this, works wonders. It gives your team 10x productivity, safer m

Wouldn't the responsibility of the government representatives be to represent the opinion of the people at the time? I wouldn't be surprised if in 1973 most Americans were also totally onboard with criminalizing possession of drug

It seems these are job cuts, so it's not just replacing the bottom 15% with others, it's shrinking the size of every team down.

I think it's a decent question, assessing tech talent is hard, oftentimes, building great things like React or Cassandra is also a matter of opportunity, working at big companies means you have hard problems that require you to spend t

Can someone knowledgeable tell me if it discovered an algorithm we can understand and re-implement ourself, like is the pseudo-code for it known? Or is it kind of stuck in the infered function of the ML model?

I'm curious why growers feel it's still more advantageous to illegally grow? It must mean the risk/reward still dramatically favours illegal production. That's what needs to be addressed. I think coffee/tobacco is p

I think logically the path for these is to become legal business entities no?

I think it begs the question, but is Calculus the best and only way to exercise your brain? What if you did programming instead? Or learned anything else? More practical math maybe even like Linear Algebra? It reminds me of how my teachers

That seems pretty slow, I've never had it take more than 5 seconds, even on large enterprise backend services. Maybe your service was also initializing a lot of state/components on startup?

Sure it's a disadvantage, but the way you say it makes it sound like it results in a terribly slow development experience where you're constantly waiting for it to start. The truth is, the development experience actually gives you

Slow compile times? You don't even need to compile Clojure to run it. It only has slow start time, but since you work at an always connected REPL, it's pretty much instantanuous throughout your entire work day. Start it in the mor

It depends your area of work. If you're working on graphic engines, quants, system programming, you won't really be using a GC language anyways. There, being a better programmer is a lot about low level in the small design details

Probably 0-based? I'd assume they'd come to the same reasoning as we did, that indexing into an offset starting at zero works better for addressing memory.

No it's not. That's why you haven't seen many alternate languages. Something else is that the semantics of the Go language itself are purposely limited in ways that help build an efficient runtime easily. So even if you could

Would like the author to describe the kind of applications/use-case they apply this too? And maybe detail what the next step is of incorporating that snippet back in the actual application?

R, Matlab, Julia are some common alternatives. Java/Scala I've also seen, specifically things around Spark ML, and Spark compute. That said, Python is definitely the most common nowadays I'd say.

What the author is missing is that easy to read/reason/understand about is within the context of making a change to the code to fix a bug, add a feature or make some non-functional improvement to it. This is what most of the &quot

It's not about the exception, it's about the exception handling. If 4 tasks are started asynchronously and one of them throws? What do you want to happen to the other 3? In structured concurency you could say, if any of them fails

Can you explain a little how Rust adds cancellation and retry supervision using future? I'm not familiar with Rust.

by didibus 4y ago
The additional features of structured concurency affect the API though, because you need to introduce scopes of supervision/cancellation/retries. If any async operation fails, at what level up the waiting chain do you want to canc

I've not normally seen people say async/await is a form of structured concurency. As I understand, structured concurency mostly imply automatic cancellation and supervision that allows retry/restarts. Does async/await gi
