The fundamental problem is that the large parts of the ecosystem do not use the built-in mechanisms for various reasons, which makes it hard to change the overall user experience by changing those mechanisms. I personally use Eglot and not

At minimum it needs to be a lot faster than it is currently, and all of these comments about how you can configure it to be fast are just excuses. I’ve been using Emacs for years and my config’s performance is still something I have to hack

Prohibition is clearly a failed policy but that doesn’t mean that policies which restrict alcohol consumption are all equally stupid. There are still good arguments for treating alcohol consumption as a public health issue, and this would b

It’s moving, it’s just going to take a long time to get to where it needs to be. Personally I would be focused entirely on performance if I were to start making improvements.

I don’t understand what you mean by criticizing it for not being officially supported.

Of course they don’t, or people wouldn’t have to be reverse engineering things. But it doesn’t affect your hardware warranty.

I feel like if your concern is real-time systems, you should probably say you don’t think it’s suitable for real-time systems, instead of talking about performance differences that no one really disagrees but which don’t matter in practice

The fact that police often threaten underpolicing of black communities in response to protests goes a long way to explaining why cops killing black people and people who aren’t cops killing black people are related. I wouldn’t say the movem

I agree that shaming people is probably unlikely to work, but I’m not really sure that anything will work in the short term here. We’re dealing with a crisis of social trust. What do you think the CDC and the federal government should be do

I feel like I should probably admit that I am just generally a fan of functional programming and I do think there are big benefits to it, most of the time (of course, some algorithms are just more elegant with loops and mutation). But my da

It depends what you’re building. If you’re writing a library to do those things, they may well be first order. Certain extremely useful patterns like parser combinators rely on them. And of course, the current answer is just “do something e

There are certain things that just can’t be done without generics, though. Type safe higher order functions, type safe custom collections, etc. Of course, perhaps these are all just subjective to you, because you can still write any program
646.
by jolux 5y ago
There are just things you can’t do without having generics in your language. User-defined collections, for one. Statically typed higher order functions, for another. To paraphrase (I believe) Bob Harper, you either have a statically typed

They said there was probably already research on weed’s safety. I would argue that research is promising re: safety but more is definitely needed. I agree that this isn’t reason to delay legalization, but it’s still something that should ha

As someone who is extremely pro-legalization (and pro-decriminalization of all drugs) I still think this is perfectly reasonable. We know rough bounds on the safety of cannabis/THC (probably safer than tobacco and alcohol, probably not

Apple is manually reviewing every case to ensure it’s CSAM. You do have to trust them on that. But if your problem is with NCMEC, you’ve got a problem with Facebook and Google who are already doing this too. And you can’t go to jail for pos

The whole thing rests on whether Apple knows that the content is CSAM or not. And they don’t. The author gets this fundamentally wrong. They do not know whether it is a match or not when the voucher is created. The process does, but they

Compilers are allowed to do whatever they want when encountering undefined behavior, not because it will never happen, but specifically because it’s undefined.

The formal proof doesn’t exist yet but the language was designed from the ground up with memory safety as a key principle. I should note, Rust is not the only safe language. Python is safe, as are most modern languages with garbage collecti
