I had a similar course, "Concepts of Programming Languages". The accompanying textbook was by Robert Sebest under the same name.

Sorry for nitpicking but the logical inverse of this statement is the stronger and more appropriate version: If some app does not respond in 10ms or less, it is not interactive.

Another comment already explains that this is regular method overriding in Python. Surely, some languages call user-defined operators 'Operator overloading' (e.g. C#) but the mechanism which Python uses (an `object` base class) IS

Take a look at https://contextgeneric.dev , it's as close as one can get to solving this issue without modifying rustc.

I think that it's a generic programming problem: pointers are easier because the type of the pointee is easy to get (a deref) and also its location (memory) but with index-based handles into containers you can no longer say that given

Off topic, but Notion is a perfect example of how badly you can abuse web standards. This webpage, which is a document with some markup and links (the very thing the web was made for) takes ~600MB RAM, about 10 seconds load, and lags terrib

Not to disagree with you, but even C++ is going through great efforts to improve compile-times through C++20 modules and C++23 standard library modules (import std;). Although no compiler fully supports both, you can get an idea of how they

Makes you wonder, how many webpages are dependant on such services. The Web has always been brittle, but it's a little sad seeing a website not able to survive ~50k users on its first day online. Even the least offenders, GitHub Pages,

It has been kind of made into a movie! The Heptapods [0] in Arrival (2016) written script is a circular shape with each subsection of the shape conveying a different meaning ultimately representing a concept or thought. A quote from the mov

I'm not quiet sure why a non-technical person would be engaging in a technical matter such as compiling LLVM, they say they are involved with some Arch Linux derivative but again the question persists.

Same here, the title even says "TypeScript" not "Typescript" but whatever. I think what's somehow interesting about this is in the footer of the page: Autonomously crafted in 15m 4s by Leap.new Could be som

I disagree, many businesses that put their software in maintenance mode (fix/upgrade on breakage) will be losing money in the long run. Consider a hospital, many statistics can be collected o provide insights and make immediate decisio

Reminds me of Linus' comments[1][2] on pull requests in the kernel's GitHub mirror. The fact that you can't disable pull requests give the impression that it's mandatory to allow anyone to request changes and for you to

IMO separation of interface and implementation is one of the "good" things about C/C++ (I used to be confused about it when starting out), it gives you a good overview of a piece of code and how it is supposed to be used. In

Sorry, I know the post has fell off the Show HN page but for historical purposes I thought junior meant a first-year studnet (How isn't it?!!). I'm actually a freshman, this is my first year in college.

Amazing to see RustPython being used in the wild. I wonder why they are using it. Is it easier to sandbox? smaller memory footprint than CPytohn and PyPy? just because it's cool?
