Besides the logistical problems (shared ownership of MLB and minor league teams, the fact that almost all [good] players in the minors are really ultimately contracted with a major league team, etc), I truly believe that even the worst majo

Does this generalize to higher dimensions? I’m realizing my mathematics education never really addressed alternative coordinate systems outside of 2/3 dimensions

Yes, the opam repository has recently been working on an archival policy to reduce the size of the checkout and hopefully ease pressure on the dependency resolver by pruning 'obviously' wrong choices. However, the heuristic they c

Either a lot of clones or a lot of reference counted pointers. Especially if your point of comparison is a GC language, this is much less of a crime than some people think

This is a misinterpretation equivalent to saying "The halting problem indicates it is impossible to say if this loop terminates: while true: break " It is true that it is impossible in general, but that says nothing ab

Not sure if you've watched the (entertaining but long) lecture by Casey Muratori linked at the start of this article, but I think this is sort of his point. ECS are powerful not just because of how modern computers schedule and execute

That can only happen if you as a user have the 'defaults' channel still configured as available, and conda-forge considers it a user error whenever this happens (the official line is `conda-forge is incompatible with the packages

There’s an additional difficulty here which is the actually good first issues tend to be completed early in their existence, so the long-term steady state is issues that are much more difficult for some reason or another (even if they aren’

This feels a bit like Stroustrops comment “There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses”. If MDN was not such an invaluable service, not nearly as many people would end up forming opinions!

I think this is a very interesting way to think about and categorize languages. One of the reasons I've always preferred OCaml to Haskell, for example, is how less-escape-hatch-y mutation is. It's still not the preferred path, but

I first encountered the idea relatively recently with Clay [1] and I have been a fan since. Once you get past the “huh, weird” stage it has a lot of benefits! 1: https://github.com/nicbarker/clay

In particular, you can define the implementation flag and include the header in a .c file with no other contents to recover the more “traditional” build set up where you have a separate TU dedicated to the library. I quite like the flexibil

The python PEP process is fairly open, most of the discussion ends up happening on public facing boards. I don’t think they have regularly scheduled meetings to consolidate decisions, though

nobody gives OCaml a thought in these discussions. It’s such a wonderful language!

There are reasons to be worried about additional safety beyond just security. My first thought when reading the article was it would be a huge bummer if a bug in tmux brought down a long-running or particularly stateful session. Of course,

The idea of a language server also being some other kind of server is almost fiendishly clever to me and I'm shocked I hadn't seen other people play with this before. Definitely can think of applications to game programming -- a s

748 is not tight. As given in the article, k=643 is independent of ZFC, and the author speculates that it's possible that something as small as BB(9) could be as well. The 748/745/643 numbers are just examples of actual machi

This is fine if the method you’re talking about is static — as you point out, it’s really all Rust has — but is absolutely a design mistake if it is not, which I think is what the poster above is referring to. It’s a common anti pattern and

Kahan summation is an example (also described in the top level article) of one such “gotcha”. It involves adding a term that - if floats were algebraic in this sense - would always be zero, so ffast-math often deletes it, but this actually

That still has the issue of Quantity{-100} being a-ok as far as the compiler is concerned, but there are other things one can do (as the article alludes to). My reading of this article wasn't to say that these things are impossible in

Based on the rest of your comment I suspect you're already familiar, but a decent candidate for "Rust with a GC" is OCaml, the language the first Rust compiler was written in.
