I'm almost positive that's bullshit because I spent half of my life as a "night owl", convinced it was just something inherent to me. After my wife took a job that had her waking up at 4am, and the requisite adjustments

Presumably people care about write speed because it's typically harder to scale up than read speed as there are just less tricks overall that can be applied. Like we can assume the overwhelming majority of applications writing to a dat

It is "code that changes together" but also an expression of which code depends on what and in what kind of manner does it do so (e.g. is one subsumed by the other or is used by 3x other modules). Understanding where things live i

I think that would be preferable but depends on the use case

This seems like a really great case for property based testing and/or fuzzers. Randomly generated output should virtually never flag copyright (and would be rare enough that you could manually assess if it was accurate or not, likely).

It's a challenging book and really pushes abstract thinking on a level rarely encountered. Yes, it's an introductory text in some sense because it introduces you to a dizzying array of subjects in computing, but imo, it's not

I think an example of what the commenter is describing is something like: 1. User clicks "buy now" for whatever is in their shopping cart 2. Client generates some kind of transaction ID representing that they wanted to purchase th

Isn't the whole reason you're mentioning actix-web because the community mostly balked at the amount of unsafe code in it? Surely that should be some evidence that the norms in Rustland are qualitatively different in many ways to

Is it really true that concerns around UUIDs as primary keys are wholly irrelevant? Maybe I'm working off outdated information but in high scale environments there are a lot of downsides primarily related to the random write patterns i

Really liked this article. Mechanical-sympathy driven development.

Presumably as long as FFIs are based on C calling conventions and running native instructions it would be unsafe. You could imagine cleaner FFIs that have significant restrictions placed on them (I'd imagine sandboxing would be require

I'd say there's a fair amount of public drama but the actual community is pretty chill nowadays i.e. gitter and the like

Yeah it's unnerving because there are many great, real accomplishments from people in India, and no doubt many more to be found in the future. But dreaming about a special destiny inherited from the past doesn't necessarily requir

yeah all the other stuff is fluff if a language doesn't have a compelling story about tests. As much as I love static typing and algebraic data types, they don't really prove that the behavior of the code is actually what is expec

One major difference is it's hard to "supe up" an old computer. Harder in general for the layman to repair or modify means you are more likely to need a fully functioning device to be able to use it, less gray area. Also cars

man, I love Alan Watts. We're so lucky to have so much of his actual speech recorded as the tone of his voice and the way he communicates ideas are really fascinating

what about if you throw in async IO into the mix? seems like you'd have to have some kind of vmware-like virtualization where you record all IO interrupts into a linearalizable log

I went once at about 3-4PM and also came away feeling like it was a bit understaffed. One worker and about 8 people in there eating. I didn't have to wait a crazy amount of time so maybe it's fine though, gyudon doesn't take

What do people commonly discuss on it?

It actually isn't really that unusual to have things like this in a statically typed language. Scala and Haskell have similar limitations with tuples

I genuinely have no idea why that would be abhorrent, except to anti-vaxxers. Can you explain?

Yeah I really don't know because OCaml already has async constructs. It doesn't seem like it should be a dealbreaker for most. That being said, it has a reputation for being extremely performant so it might just be that people fee

Seems like it would either need to be append only or have some kind of snapshot isolation

Wouldn't that presumably cause energy costs to skyrocket because of all the overhead you get from going from multitenant machines to dedicated ones? Even if the capex is compare I'd imagine it would be hard to get the opex to be c

The algorithm design manual by skienna is a popular choice. The first half is more instructional regarding different classes of algorithms and datastructures and how they should be used while the second half is like an encyclopedia of descr
