That’s still not answering my question. How do I tell the difference between myself achieving enlightenment and merely having an opinion that I have achieved it? Things you describe are perceived subjectively, so they can also be victim

we're at risk of splitting hairs now, but given that rust isn't describing itself as "functional immutable language" i posit that rust users will gladly reach for `mut` whenever they feel like it, while in clojure you wi

i'm aware that immutable datastructures are implementable in plenty of languages, that's not the point of my argument. top comment claim is that clojure's approach to identity and value-semantics is somehow superseded and in

"anything that is legal according to compiler will eventually make it's way into the codebase" (approximately quoting Carmack here) default behavior should be safe and simple to use, dangerous behavior should be hard to reach

that in my mind is classic example of how immutable approach saves you from the problem of reading inconsistent world. just like assembly registers, cache lines or struct field alignment, having to think about possibility to read the world

Just learning about immutable/functional approach makes you better developer even in imperative languages. “Share nothing” (in a mutable way) is beautifully simple solution to so many concurrency problems.

So if I have mutable array in rust in state A and I start writing state B i to it from the back end in one thread, and reading the state A from the front in another thread - am I guaranteed to read actual state A or will I read a mix of A a

you pay ransom with cash. because cash has certain properties. which bitcoin also has. which is why bitcoin is being used as digital cash. which in itself isn't a problem and if it is - you need to fight against cash, there's

The problem is granularity of deployment - the smallest piece you can rollout is, these days, a container with code and dependencies, that has to be build and threaded through your CI/CD stack before it hits prod. I like to imagine wha

But the word has multiple meanings and both interpretations are equally plausible. Personally I also thought the title was about secrets. Changing from classified to labeled will remove ambiguity completely.
