Thanks. Yes I know that search option, but sometimes 1 mb x 100 is sitting there while I take trouble locating a single 5 mb message.

Just curious, didn’t you have to do some basic benchmarking using your own data to get these clients to signup in the first place? Or is this part of a larger engagement/partnership that these clients trust you enough to embark on this

They exist, but Python, being a dynamic typed language, at least by default, runs a higher risk in automated conversions. Just because it compiles after conversion doesn’t mean it isn’t broken. Unless the code base has a very very good set

Your point about interoperability is probably a better expression about what I had in mind. Whenever there is a new advance in algorithms, at least all languages should benefit from the “reference implementation”, be it C-FFI (the current s

Regardless of Python 2 vs 3, what is sad is that every new language, be it Go, Rust, Swift, Dart, Nim whatever is dividing whatever set of ‘good, smart, and creative’ engineers we have into smaller group each implementing their own sorting

What that article casually ignores is the fact that there could have been a Python 2 fix (as Python 3) that took the approach of fixing encoding to utf8 only. If that was the only thing Python 3 vs 2 was breaking, life could have been so

Thanks. I am trying to understand where the savings for the user is (as in less code to type). I guess it is somehow related to T being a generic and if they didn't use this macro, they would have had to repeat this all over?

by harikb 7y ago
For a non-rust person's point of view, I assume a macro is something like a super-pre-processor that helps keep the code concise. In the example below, what portion is written ahead of time (by the person making the macro) and what por

Banning advertising doesn’t make this problem go away unless you can also enforce it worldwide. If Google went away, you will have Baidu or Yandex pick up the business. Are we in a position to regulate them too? Remember that ads existed be

There is an entire world between ORM and PL/SQL. Programmatically constructing SQL statements is also a thing. Just because someone writes SQL does not mean SQL needs to be spread through out code or that we need to have lot of logic i

Not really. That is exactly the point the article is trying to make. Developers need to care about these things - _enough to know who to go get help from_. That is the minimum. Also 10 years is an exaggeration. 2 years working on a non-triv

I am hoping this is in agreement. py2’s flexibility to handle utf8 bytes without fuss is amazing. Then people come up with all kind of purity reasons to make it more complicated.

What is left out of this entirely is that “composability”, sometimes, comes at the cost of efficiency or user experience. Companies like Google try to create each new product fit within Google infra and then end up with a less intuitive pro
