Isn't this the norm in places like Sweden? https://www.ft.com/content/2a9274be-72aa-11e7-93ff-99f383b09... I suspect in the future all salaries will be public.

Some compilers also use the ECS "pattern" quite heavily. Case in point: rustc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6b44kMS6OM&t=1263s

I think there is most definitely conditioning going on. I watched my fiance click on one of the "accept all cookies" GDPR-prompts (it's become an antipattern) a few days ago. She almost automatically did it without thinking.

this is all true, but consider a computing model that almost was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescript_(programming_langua... telescript was kinda of weird, but wildly ahead of its time. the idea was decentralized

a lot of it is stuff its runtime loads by default, like huge BLAS buffers, the llvm orc and such. I think there have been steps recently to make those optional recently. Julia was really optimized for "big iron"-styles of workload

yes, i'd say there is both societal taboo (especially outright culling them rather than just throwing stones at them to chase them away) and legal restrictions: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/23/world&#x

yes, and python has a large amount of analyzers: https://github.com/typeddjango/awesome-python-typing https://github.com/ethanhs/python-typecheckers though i'd say they are worse than similar

Personally, I think interactive usage has improved quite a bit. I don't "feel" it that badly in 1.7. It was bad enough earlier in the 1.0 series that I stopped using it for a while (I used it before <1.0 as well). I think

These are what i'd say, as someone who has tinkered with it a lot but uses python/C++ for $day_job: - immature web/network services stack. For better or worse the lang seemed to focus on more number crunching throughput early

maybe, but you are likely using their software or services, so in some sense, it's "first party" data, where at least historically, some expectation of privacy has not been as strong since you are in effect, having direct int

it depends on what you call 'hinduism'. it's one of the world's most heterodox religions and has absorbed a huge amount of cultural tradition from at least 300 languages. The rig veda is probably what most people agree i

native python is indeed quite slow relative to anything compiled, especially when you want to use pure python for hot loops. it's really the saving grace of cython (or alternatives) that makes python tractible for a lot of scientific c

Self was quite influential in the language development world however, perhaps most so in JavaScript itself. StrongTalk was also very influential, because many of its developers also ended up working on core parts of the JVM and V8 JITs both

I think Smalltalk's demise was really from the fact that it was a entire environment that had to live in a virtual machine. Especially in the 70s and 80s, that was a huge performance barrier. Contrast this with C, which probably won be

yeah, but your claim was "Note also that Julia would be number 1 in almost all of those benchmarks if you were to rank by speed of second run" notice this isn't even a language vs language benchmark. it's libraries and f

That makes sense, but I still think the meta name is confusing. I mean, as a user the fact that it was implemented using metaprogramming techniques has no bearing, it's an implementation detail. Actually, my brain never thought to asso

yes, it's true that with sophisticated gradual typing and expressive static langs, dynamic and static languages are far more similar than they used to be. personally, I still enjoy the extreme dynamism of lisp and lisp-like langs (juli

DataFramesMeta is great! But I always get confused by the name. Since DataFrames.jl is lower level shouldn't that be DataFramesBase.jl and the meta package be DataFrames.jl?

Sure, IO is often the bottleneck, but the python interpreter can most definitely add a lot of overhead, which can add a lot of operational costs. Personally, even in IO bound applications, I prefer something like Go or Elixir, and with thos

the other cool thing about wolfram functions is that they really embrace the whole "content addressed function" idiom (like unison). code is data is a networked resource.
