I would bet money that the creator didn't make anywhere near minimum wage, if anything, from this. Add up the time of designing and getting this project done over ten years. It's also a niche, specialist hardware project made in e

btw, Python has had pattern matching for almost two years now: https://peps.python.org/pep-0622/ If you support Python 3.10+ you can do this far more cleanly.

I'm surprised that I haven't heard of this line of languages before. The home page of Rebol, which it says it's derived from, seems to do a much better job at stating its purpose: http://rebol.com/

So if I embed a custom "special sauce" model in my phone app, to do inference faster on the device, my bigger competitors could simply extract it from the bundle and use it too? Perhaps that's okay, I don't know, but it

Do you think it's the interrupting that's the issue here, or the fact that they're changing the subject? (and hence, not listening to you) I think both "wait" and "interrupt" culture etiquettes involve sup

Agreed. I think his view comes more from the pop section of the market. Everything I consume and discover is still album-based.

That’s not normal. What plugins do you have installed? Maybe one is slowing it down? And perhaps run “clear caches / restart” just in case there’s cache corruption I run it fine on a Linux machine that has 4GB ram total — I’m curious h

Yeah, it's surprising. A lot of Python people are in the community too, such as Armin, the creator of Flask. I can't speak for Rubyists, but I find it a very strong complementary skill to Python, as it allows for writing things th

Note that you can learn a new layout without forgetting Qwerty. If you switch between layouts while learning, you'll maintain that ability to switch. Similar to how the brain can switch languages. I found this to be an easier way to le

"returns" and "is of type" are different concepts, so having different syntax for them makes sense. - In your first example, foo is of type "Bar" - In your second, foo is of type "function that returns Bar

Apple used Carbon for a lot of its own built-in apps, such as Finder, didn't it? (edit: and iTunes) (Almost?) all other other major vendors at the time used it heavily too: Microsoft Office until 2011, FileMaker until 2010. If Apple re

Can you give an example? I suspect you're referring to the same short-term ones the author is deriding, not the journalistic kind that take time to research and prepare.

You'll still see performance benefits of HTTP2 while supporting HTTP/1.1 content. HTTP2 requests have (sometimes significantly[1]) less overhead, and most sites following good HTTP/1.1 practices still make many requests. Op

I don't think the complexity would be worth it in most cases. The article is misleading on this, but those HTTP/1.1 best practices aren't slower when served over HTTP2. HTTP2 will still be faster than HTTP/1.1. - Spritin

Debian stable releases come out roughly every two years, and are supported for an extra year (or so) after the following release. Otherwise RHEL/CentOS have longer support periods (ten years).

You're right about DRM implementations in general, but note that the W3C standard isn't actually a DRM implementation, it's (afaict) a common API that allows web pages to supply their own DRM implementations. An open source b
