It looks like they took the "sloppiness" off the handwriting mode. For me that was always the biggest turn off—I couldn't get over that I was penciling in some hand-written note, and for some reason there were two lines follo

Out of genuine curiosity, what keeps you at Google for 15 years despite perceived increase in complexity to getting things done? I'm wondering whether the answer is like "there's a lot of complexity, but I like the work I do

Yep, and in particular, the version 1 moniker in Go has a precise meaning that the Go team committed to at 1.0: https://golang.org/doc/go1compat The fact that they can release generics and NOT bump to 2.0 is a triumph

The goals of library authors are frequently different from those of application developers. Library authors usually have to consider how to make their code work on more environments, on older language versions, more configurable, handling m

Is the consensus that we're moving towards actually passwordless futures? I've only seen WebAuthn and Touch ID replace a one-time code either sent via text or looked up in Google Authenticator. I have one Yubikey for each laptop I

Is it? The VM is already already storing the tags on objects to be able to down cast. For example, in Java, the JVM is already storing the bits to remember that your `x` is a `Child` to safely raise an exception for Child castToChild(

In this case UnionBase is not ad hoc: you had to declare a name for it up front. Ad hoc means you can write the union type wherever types can be written. For example, it’s not possible to write this: public (A | B) someMethod(); in

I like James Iry’s take on checked exceptions here[1] which basically boils down to this: > The throws clause is the only point in the entire Java language that allows union types. You can tack “throws A,B,C” onto a method signature mean

Has Neovim ever considered to a rolling release model? Where I work, it’s considerably less of a headache to install Homebrew bottles instead of source/HEAD packages. There was a bug in Neovim 0.4 that I ran into every day for years—it

We're reluctant to completely fork the language. We benefit from so many open source tools, technologies, and libraries built around Ruby. For example: we've built: - A type checker - LSP-based editor tooling - A compiler But we h
