"Over budget" gets forgotten about in a few years. "Well implemented" lasts its lifetime.

Neat. I worked on a project recently that did their own roll-your-own equivalent. It was in python and many of the devs didn't have a python env installed. The leaders provided everyone with an image with the env, Pycharm, and assorted

D lang is incorporating a borrow-checking system. I'm not certain how far along they are with it. Walter Bright posts here often and will know. D has a wide range of GC and non-GC techniques that may meet your needs.

IIRC one cryptanalyst realised that the first 4 characters in ciphers from one particular operator never included the letter 'L'. They deduced that that operator always sent 4 Ls as an initial test, since L was on the right hand s

I don't think they're particularly surprised or fascinated by generics. Just glad that they have finally appeared after years in the planning.

?? What have Google got to do with it?

by kitd 4y ago
Agreed. In my mind, the fact that the developers understand limitations in their own tools means that future enhancements are likely to be more focussed and effective.

You could write your own todo list app. Let's face it, there are plenty of examples out there! ;)

I've been both staff and line at various companies. The biggest downside to staff IME is that you are almost constantly reminded that you are a cost and at danger of being cut. OTOH, the biggest upside is the domain knowledge, and in p

The MQTT spec itself[2] is very approachable, which made this undertaking easier still. Indeed. I've found writing an MQTT client is a good tutorial project when learning a new language.

This is the kind of thing gron [1] would be good for. A diff on the gron output before and after should contain all the info needed. [1] https://github.com/tomnomnom/gron

The yews at Kingley Vale are well worth a visit if you're in the Chichester area. They're fantastically twisted and gnarled, like giant limbs reaching out to grab you as you pass. Most are believed to have been planted by the Saxo

Without strings, one will probably want to manipulate atoms in various ways. As a start, l1 introduces the notion of "splitting" (creating a list from an atom or number) and "fusing" (joining such a list back together a

You're speaking as a pro software dev (presumably), and yes, VB was great for prototyping. The people I'm referring to didn't realise that such esoteric things as "requirements" or "prototype GUIs" were a

It was almost too good. It encouraged a load of professionals who, though talented in their own field, should never have been near an IDE, to "knock up" a quick GUI, hand it over to the dev team, and say "Here you go. Suppo

Cannot make a type in a foreign package implement an interface The idiomatic way of adding an interface to a foreign type is to declare your own local alias and use that to implement the interface. At least then the added functionality i

The author obviously doesn't like Go. Ok, he can have his own opinions. I've been coding professionally since 1987, using everything from mainframe assembler, Fortran, C, VB, Java, C++, to most recently Go. IMHO, the language itse

For instance json is a subset of yaml, maybe internally jq they could use yaml libraries, consume either, output either json or input format by default and give me a flag for yaml output if I want it. As it happens, gojq, mentioned elsewh

You're right. I missed the link to the Deno blog and only saw 'Deno runtime' in this article.

That's discussing their subhosting offering, which is unrelated to the subject of this thread, the actual runtime.

Even better (and I expect you're aware of this already), you can run Webassembly workloads under Kubernetes control: https://krustlet.dev/
