Safe isn't the best word to describe it with. But it does mean that any expression or statement always has two possible control flows. You have the "surface flow" as well as the exceptional flow, so there's an added comp

After a few weeks, I am disappointed in not being an expert at $new_thing. $new_thing bad!

How much taxes will be paid in the EU when the giants leave? Ireland is making a judgement here, one where they understand that they have more to gain this way. That is: unless you are trying to make the claim that they have been bribed by

It's weirder that they are not able to decide for themselves what goes on in Ireland.

Apple does not need another defence lawyer so I am not one. But the point so many of you seem to miss, is that for the people that don't want the upgrade, their kit is cheaper. They're letting the upgraders pay for the standard pi

This is not right. This is a desktop and I use it to write programs which implies invoking a compiler. Having a snappy UI is important but short compile times can be importanter(!) once a baseline latency has been achieved.

I know! And it was not under Apple's control in any sense. This is my point!

Why has this been downvoted? Who is upset by this?

Apple doesn't have (tight) control over the whole software stack. This is something people say and probably believe. They don't write Haskell, Postgres, Rust, Java, Scala, Firefox, Spotify, VS Code, Postico or any number of the ot

It's not even that, it's a call to enter a never-ending recursion. How is it that that god is permitted to exist without reason where the hydrogen atoms somehow needs an origin? Please assemble your god or accept my eternal hydrog

This post, more than anything, comes across as you being a C zealot.

I'm new to properly native languages, but having worked with Rust for 6 months, I've yet to encounter a single crash that wasn't on part of my error handling. I _love_ C and I've written one C program every year for the

This is a silly argument. Making a language _memory safe_ protects against one class of bugs and that has merit in and of itself. The fact that there are more classes does not negate the value of that. To borrow(lol!) your own analogy here:

Very much so. I've gotten better at simply dealing with the fact that I don't undertand wtf I'm doing, and to just accept that at the outset. Now, this is in no way unique and I'm no snowflake. But there's a definit

I can definitely say that I am a mapper and not a packer. But I can also say that I am pretty much _all_ mapper and no packer. This means that it takes me forever to understand a lot of things that presumed packers (or more balanced individ

I always thought the perspectives of this question is weird. Are people asking to be paid more than they work, or is someone forcing them to work full time? I totally understand the urge (and suggestion) to not work too much on the other ha

The literal minded of you perhaps were not there when Google arrived at the scene. And as you admit: you don't really know if there is a difference. Yet hearing about others that perceive difference makes you very tired. I was there. W

Your tiredness is of course both relevant and substantiated.

Why is that a bad example? It's proof that implementing From does not solve the problem.

How are they measuring that Java is trending?

We need to differentiate a little more here. Instead of me having to watch another f*ing viagra ad, since I'm male and above 40, we should instead talk about substituting ads with getting actual fecal matter thrown at us. Your argument

Moral hazard and inflation. If I know that I will be bailed out with a certain probability, then my actual cost of capital is much lower (since I am not expected to pay the entire volume of interest.) For instance: why not make the investor

Diffs come with column offset coordinates, though, so perhaps it's your diff editor that needs some more muscle?

Nice! Thank you! I'd forgotten about that technique - think I read about it in a ancient compiler book (by french authors no less!) EDIT: this was a really interesting read!

I figured as much but was unsure. So the gain is that you still take heap allocations, but you do it in a "novelty" heap allocator that you will probably dipose of entirely at some point?

I've been seriously at it with Rust for about six months now and really loving it. What do you mean by "use an arena for the AST?" What is an arena in this context?

The vacuum is outside the meat, though, so if anything it's bound to suck whatever is in the meat out of it.
