It’s a kind of forward error correction for us. Even if you speak fast under noisy conditions I can tell what you said because certain options collide with the surrounding grammar. Removing this would lead to misunderstandings and more „wha

How is that different from the status quo? Currently we say “der Bürger“ for a citizen of unknown or male sex. „der“ is male, so certain people perceive sexism. The plural for citizens of unknown, male or female sex is „die Bürger“. „die“ i

From experience, you’re in the phase of your C++ skill development before you realize all the things you didn’t know you don’t know. Everyone goes through what you’re feeling, and with seniority in the language depression sets in how broken

The bigger sell to me is that you can actually give safe rust code to a newcomer, and they won’t cut themselves on the most basic of tasks. Code review and work delegation have become soooo much easier for me as software dev lead.

There are a lot of hardware engineers at my company that more or less occasionally use Python or C# to get their job done. I understand that those languages are the better choice for them and gladly help them with getting C bindings done fo

It’s not just a web browser issue. For example I’m transferring data in multiple Asian languages through some network API. I always need to specify the locale of the text data in a separate data field so that some UI program at the end can

Locale: English. Text input: 刃 Question: was that a Japanese or Chinese character? Answer: locale doesn’t help us here, unsolvable problem.

What if a player with a German locale used their favorite anime character’s name? How do you know whether to use Chinese or Japanese characters on somebody else’s PC? Even a Chinese player should see Japanese characters there. But you would

I’m not a frontend dev so I just stick to vanilla html and js. I created a simple table with 40k rows, slapped an input box above it, and had some vanilla js set CSS visibility on all rows depending on whether they matched. This would updat

That’s more historical than anything. Especially because the S key is usually not used in WASD: instead of walking backwards, a combination of mouse+A/D is used. If you look around you’ll see some pros use ASD with S replacing W. In MM

At this point I always assume that it’s out of malice instead of incompetence. These kinds of smaller bugs for things that work by default are just too common for Google.

If you want something more restricted then just use RSS. It’s not centralized like AMP.

Finally a nice way to init hash maps and all other kinds of collections! The former was really unattractive to Rust newbies!

That seems to have been a mixed bag. But they also enabled PGO (or was it LTO?) and that was mentioned to be a bigger improvement.

Sorry for the late reply. Yes, they had their own system before, but they replaced it with somethign else. However, it turns that I read this too long ago and mistook DC/OS for Nomad. My apologies!

Cool stuff! Out of curiosity: how does the composition of the sort function work? Can you avoid knowing all rows at the point it occurs?

My thought as well. I was able to fix a years old memory leak at a prior company using massif within an hour. It’s a really great suite of tools!

The developers at riot games are also always swooning over Nomad and have published quite a couple of talks on YouTube as well as articles on their dev blog. I’ve looked into kubernetes but after I got it all going I decided it’s not worth

Not to be rude but your comment can be summarized as „one can mess up with SQL as well“, which is kind of „duh“. Absolutely every technology can be criticized this way. The more important point is that the layers on top of SQL always lead t

As a C programmer I find it really telling when an API is full of smart pointers. It means the heap is completely unmanaged and I have no control over memory allocation. It makes most c++ libraries completely unusable in embedded, high perf

It seems like you don’t consider requirements like ABI at all. There’s a reason for opaque handles (typeless pointers or integer handles). When managing resources on separate memory, RAII is also rarely something you’d want. There are diffe

Then your complaint is not orthogonality. Orthogonality means that you can use a for each loop, find_if, any_of, ranges::any_of and everything will still compose the same no matter where the data comes from (file, network, a function that a
