this is the opposite of my experience at any large workplace. you can look at merge commits on the history to achieve the same without losing power or data.

this inspires me to write an article about the practical issues of finding good game developers. the value of the frame delay in physics simulations is completely overlooked, something the current generation of popular game engines seem una

there is going to be some of that for sure. i expect people reading this comment will not understand your point to mean "some" and will probably read it as "all". despite the length of your comment to the contrary, they

agreed, although its not a helpful perspective i'd rather be homeless here in the UK where its nearly impossible to die without making much effort than pretty much anywhere else in the world. the opportunities available for things like

there is a much more general thing here of 'simple theory of mind' where you assume too much similarity between self and others. we even do this to ourselves when remembering our pasts.

the abi is very constraining. a much better solution of course is to only apply it when strictly necessary, which seems not to be the case de facto in the wild this is one very easy way to be 'faster than c' in practise

why is this here? there is barely a comment of content. the conclusion feels weird and naive...

> I really, really disagree with the idea that bad code that ships is always better than code that doesn't. That is how we get software that is riddled with security issues. Even if the specific application isn't that important

IMO MacOS is not an example of good code, or good engineering. The engineering decisions made are often terrible, including recycling the legacy of NeXT for what I assume were ego-based reasons... Nothing in the history of Windows compares

thats not true at all, repetition is natural. map is also quite natural, but isn't it telling that the way a human will do this on paper is by reptition of the same task in sequence... i.e. a for loop. > The only thing it’s easier t

this is not true. objects and classes are a fundamental concepts people are familiar with from real-life experiences. 'teaching' them is barely necessary at all, its more a case of assigning labels and some specificity to already

I disagree this is broadly unknown outside of a niche... Even if the company practises seem to have had a knock-on effect. .. if the article is accurate of course.

i have also encountered this problem. i learned the nature of rotation from first principles in order to solve these problems without documentation... which has turned out to be a massive boon. tutorials are the devil. they do not teach so

golden sledgehammer. what problem does it solve exactly? im not seeing unsolved problems here... just a really heavyweight solution that is frail and prone to error

i blame the parents and the education system... these things you mention are much more important in practical terms than the vast bulk of curriculum contents these days.

that doesn't stop it being an esolang ... although the code quality of the examples makes it look a million times more like one than it needs to

but being faster than c is actually trivial and obvious even in the general case... here is something i crapped out 6 years ago to prove the point: https://github.com/semiessessi/CP1

yes, for smaller integers it is necessarily faster... there are higher order versions, the Toom-Cook algorithsm, which fill the gap between them too...

this looks expensive. a good design would be cheaper and make better use of the space - not waste it
