Yeah, why care for the poor population even when Europe is busy buying oil for itself. It’s not like per capita consumption of the west is 10x or greater.

WTF is going on in this thread? How did we become so sensitive, Haskell has had a lot of criticisms here at HN, never saw any flags/downvotes. People argued vehemently but without any animosity. Maybe something to be learned here http

By extension of that logic, all dynamic languages are as strict as static typed, since it will crash on first abuse. The benefit is in capturing things in type system so you can see what’s going on and you can’t ignore it. Runtime vs compil

We found out one “head of AI” or something was just taking GitHub repos and passing as his own. All we could do was manage around him.

I have come to accept it and just ignore it. Many times there would be a long thread having to do absolutely nothing about the topic at hand. Not a tangent but like completely unrelated, why are we even discussing this here kind of thing. I

Can you please share your experience with PGO? I would be interested in some rough performance ballpark numbers for JVM languages.

My understanding is that, if the compiler can with 100% confidence correct a mistake or a missing label then that means the language has a redundant/useless syntactical appendage and we can just get rid of it. That has happened with &q

No idea why, but just looking at the title, I felt a sudden distressing omen of a dystopian future, where these are mandated and must be followed.

Since the blog author is the primary developer of rust-analyzer, he must know about it. I think he might still have usability concerns about macros in rust IDEs. I have been relying on cargo expand for macro debugging, let me check what uti

You might have the good fortune to be born in a country in a stable region or with good neighbours. When life expectancy is not great in the initial active duty years (no foreign deployment, within border, defensive) I think it’s definitely

It frustrates me to no end when people confuse patriotism with nationalism, some even cite this essay! They say despicable things (in my view) like "patriotism is the root of all evil" while enjoying the lifestyle/security pr

So much consolidation in a single entity. Lessons learned from covid are already forgotten? What’s plan B?

Their point is that you can and probably even reduce cost, but you need to decide on the atomic resource unit and whether that makes sense (like having a measly single core, low ram instance/container).

What do those people mean by "distributed systems"? Are they running a single node server with web app and database on the same node? Is there a load balancer/cache/replica/cluster? If it's 1+ machine, it is di

Ok, maybe I misunderstood, I thought you were saying &str + &str with precomputed capacity in call cases, let me read it again.

No, they won't in standard implementations we are not exactly allocating, the allocated buffer doubles each time, so it's amortised and not O(n^2). There is a downside for non trivial example code.

You are making some really bold claims and you really might be an expert but I think you should open your mind to the slight possibility that others might also know what they are talking about. The OP specifically started with the premise t

We do know that some databases fare much better than others and that’s useful to many. In your analogy it would be many builders claiming their buildings to be earthquake proof with only some actually being it. Thanks to Jepsen, customers k

Yeah imagine cutting your own hair and diagnosing your health problems. Growing your own food and making your own chips. Looks like sensible/nonsensical based on who you are and what are your needs. Not everybody needs cloud, not every

On the contrary, these kind of extremely obvious knowledge bits destroy your credibility.

On the contrary, that definition is the whole point and useful if both parties (compiler and programmer) agree what they mean. It's definitely useless for philosophical musings about words and meanings and what not :D

Every large project with years of code (legacy or well maintained) will be hardly ever re-written with complete success. It's not a property of programming language in my opinion. It's just economic sense. I doubt JDK will be rewr

In my opinion it's pretty clear. Rust promises memory safety to me, so all code that is safe IS memory safe. I need to mark a block "unsafe" and have an understanding with the compiler that it can't ensure memory safety

This is the reason I stopped donating and stopped using Firefox. They won’t give up control and I don’t want a cent sent to anything but firefox/rust.

And yet those businesses continue with the app they have. That tells that the vast vast majority of their clients don't care or are happy with them.
