I think there's the chance to do both! Some candidates will not have problems installing dependencies and want to use their own tools. Other candidates will want to not have to think about their environment. Providing an online code sa

The biggest feature I want out of Starlark the language (not Bazel the build system) is to allow optional type annotations. They don’t have to do anything, they don’t have to specified, it just needs to be syntactically valid to put type an

This is my biggest complaint with keybindings on Linux/Windows, that Ctrl means “escape codes” in terminal emulator applications and “window/UI operations” in every other application. By contrast, in macOS all the window/UI k

Sorbet is not feature complete, we are working on it every day! I hear you on the verbosity of generic type declarations. It's something that I pushed hard for us to improve in the early phases of the project, but I was outvoted by oth

Do you have some examples of programs using generics in Sorbet you would prefer worked better or differently?

Unfortunately it doesn't appear to allow customizing colors yet. I chimed in on this issue[1] to express support for that. You may wish to also chime in on that one, or open a new issue if you think that the feature you're looking

In this case how is dns.google or cloudflare-dns.com resolved? Maybe in this case, because the author of the post only cares to check whether certain domains resolve or not, having the DNS server be resolved by normal DNS not DNS over HTTPS

Ah, thanks for clarifying! I looked up the submission formats, and it looks like if you authored the paper in TeX/LaTeX, they do not accept pre-rendered versions of the document. https://info.arxiv.org/help/submit&

I think this is an argument in favor of doing automatic PDF -> HTML conversion for the authors that don't want to touch it, but I don't think it's an argument against letting those who are fine with HTML provide their own.

It would be neat if they offered submitters the chance to upload their own HTML version alongside the PDF version, instead of always relying on an automatic conversion process. - I can imagine authors feeling frustrated if someone reaches o

Not saying it’s the optimal choice in the languages design spectrum, but it is a little defensible: If you’re prototyping a new interpreted language and don’t want to have to build a JIT that can optimize code, but still want some semblance

That’s cool! Thanks for sharing, I had never considered that aspect of private[this]. Mentioned in the article, but it also powers covariant classes. In a language like C# only interfaces can have covariant type parameters, because it would

The difference between private and protected is a bit subtle so I’ll defer to the Ruby FAQ: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/faq/7/ (On this page there’s a section called “What’s the difference

I don't think this has to be the case! I think you could build a different language with the same message passing semantics as Ruby, but with the limitations that classes are not allowed to be re-opened and method definitions must appe

Sorry, that’s simply a typo translating from Java to Ruby. I believe the point that section is trying to make still holds after editing it to say “private :x, :x=” > Private methods can only be invoked on an implicit receiver. This chang
