Can you please cite some examples of this accidental complexity? I'm very curious to hear, if for nothing else than to avoid it if I agree that it's indeed accidental. I do agree that because of the "GitHub resume" pheno

Rust doesn't have fast compile, and I think it's hard to argue that a language without TCO is a functional language. Recursion is a critical part of the functional paradigm. Also, I think a lot of people are attracted to Go becau

I disagree. BSD UNIX, created way back in 1977, was already dominant in Internet networking in those early web days circa 1991, hosting the majority of university web content in the early days of the web (early 1990s). And back then, unive

Hippocracy: government by or of the horses? It's actually spelled hypocrisy, but that's a fun misspelling for those who know Greek roots. Otherwise, I think a huge reason for our moral progress in the US, slow and unsteady though

That sounds incredibly cool. Did you write anything up?

So the imgur image you posted is just a random flow chart you found online? Is that correct?

Cool, now if there were Vim bindings, I could really use it for something fun (don't have the patience to use arrow keys + mouse). Even crude bindings covering the basic Vi command. Anyone know what are they using for the text editor

It's very cool, but you should put an actual red-letter epilepsy warning at the top of the page if you want to keep those flashy patterns. Or else don't offer the faster rates. This could definitely trigger some of the epileptics

Ada is not fringe. It's used by many large companies, although less and less these for new projects these days. There are some huge Ada codebases being maintained in industry, particularly in the aviation industry.

Nope, if they're not using SNI, you'd just see the IP address. Fire up Wireshark some time when you're browsing and watch what comes through.

OCaml has GIL, is normally single core, and shares no state, so current OCaml doesn't need to provide such guarantees. Upcoming multicore OCaml will provide such guarantees through algebraic effects [0]. 0. http://kcsrk.info

by jnbiche 10y ago
Current OCaml needn't worry about data races since no state is shared. Unfortunately, current OCaml also only exploits a single core, but it's so insanely fast that usually doesn't matter. Upcoming OCaml multicore solves the

You're absolutely right, I misread those. Passive voice would be "to be drawn", "to be read", etc. Thank you.

by jnbiche 10y ago
You're probably mostly objecting to the passive voice , which is a reasonable stand to take in scientific writing. He uses passive voice three times in these two sentences alone.
