Reference counting itself is often considered a for of garbage collection. It's not consistent but it is common.

I think this is one of those silent majority situations. Almost all programmers can read a C-like language because well, that covers like 95% of languages by use. You have C/C++/Java/Go/JS/Kotlin/Rust/zig&

I think the reason everyone down thread is confused is that it was incredibly unclear that you were adding the whole sequester the net equivalent component. It's an interesting thought though I'm curious how all the pieces would b

Yea, but sadly that means they just burn it off instead of letting it freeze. Yay global carbon emissions. https://amp.dw.com/en/what-is-the-environmental-cost-of-gas-...

Oh gotcha, I assumed they meant all 3 we're on one host. I'm not too familiar with the pg ecosystem.

And you'd be wrong! Jokes aside, even Scala proper sees itself as an experimental testing ground more than a complete idea realized. That's why dotty became Scala 3, with a huge amount of backtracking. It pushed the state of the a

I've always been fascinated by deterministic pilot wave theory and wish it was more talked about! I have no foundation in it but dismissals always seemed premature about hidden variables and Bell's Inequality. From this article, a

So I don't work at that level, I'd love to hear more. What situations do they leak through in?

Start with C. C++ is fine too. You don't need to 100% the language, a few months experience will be be handy for the rest of your computing career. It'll be a perfectly reasonable stepping stone for reading C++ without really need

The cache hierarchy and speculative execution are completely hidden at the level of assembly too, so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

> C is not “how the computer works.” I don’t think most people mean this phrase literally, so that is sort of irrelevant. Understanding the context means that learning C for this reason may still be a good idea for you, depending on your

Oh jeez. I'm no lawyer, but well copyleft sure sounds nice right now. I'd imagine if it was GPL it couldn't be relicensed incompatibly because the new version is still derived from the old one, right?

My take: Like with any interface the definer needs to balance api user ergonomics, your developer's ergonomics, and internal developer's needs. If your api can get a little toe-hold on the remote side there's all sorts of adv

That's all fine. Just remember: the lack of perverse incentives doesn't prevent sloppy wishful thinking.

I'm fine with everything you're saying here. I only take issue with trivializing addiction as simply "deliberate choices" that are "uncompelled".

It really really depends on what you mean by global state here. If you mean the global state within the interpreter that's one thing. Preserving the global state of your application is another. But a weird "global state" (rea
