Using a computer, having running water, driving a car, etc are all wasteful activities. And yet in every other instance people seem happy to simply reduce their use to "save the planet". But vegans say you can't reduce meat c

I think you have an imaginary view of what Musks thinking process is like. The reality is he pays top dollar for experts in every field on his interest or that will advance some other goal of his.

You rally against a false dichotomy and then commit one in almost the same breath. There isn't a choice between a "food prison" of fast food or soylent. The reality is you should probably choose neither.

I went to school for Software Engineering, in the engineering faculty. My school also had Computer Science. The difference was somewhat ironically that the CS degree had more practical, hands on coding, and engineering was more theoretical,

Go doesn't have any of the same safety guarantees as Rust. If you look at most production Go code, very few make use of channels, most Go code is actually locking/unlocking memory, and the Go compiler doesn't validate against

Absolutely. But the trade-off is not so simple. I can be fairly confident that if my code compiles there are far fewer bugs than if I had written it in nodejs or php. So while it may take longer to get to the initial point that I have somet

Awesome. I have used Iron a few times to write small web services, but I can't wait for Rust to really have a strong story for the backend. If that happens it'll be the first language I reach for whenever I need to write a backend

not the OP, but i strongly disagree. you don't need to be an expert to write rust. Many of it's features are in a huge amount of other languages; parametric polymorphism, ad hoc polymorphism, type inference, etc. there's noth

Most crates don't make use of unsafe, the stuff that I see that does use unsafe is mostly either embedded applications or stuff like the std lib. And even if you do use unsafe, you can still use it to build 'safe' abstraction

Rayon is a great library. It's perfect for spots where you think parallelism might be advantageous but you really want to base that decision on available resources at runtime

It's really not that hard. I think it depends where you are approaching it from.

I disagree wholeheartedly, that being happy in the face of being treated like shit will get you what you want in that type of situation. What is the author basing his assumptions off of?

No, that's not what's happening. The bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics.

free speech is not just saying people are allowed to talk about view points you agree with, it's saying that all speech should be allowed, even speech that is icky.

Elm is one of the simplest languages you will ever stumble across. I realise the simple is subjective, but you must be having some kind of mental roadblock, because it really does almost ALL the work for you.

by leshow 10y ago
I hope Elm doesn't get too closely tied with Elixir. It's a great language no matter what backend you choose.

Splenda/sucralose is an artificial sugar substitute. It's regulated far differently from peanuts. Additionally, everything I've read regarding it shows that it doesn't cause people to be ill like this. The only sugar sub

I think there's a false distinction between static/dynamic types. As if all static type checkers offered the same benefit. IMO writing a type annotation, or knowing whether a type is an int or a string, is the of minimal help in p
953.
by leshow 10y ago
IMO adding static types is good step but it sort of misses the point of modern type systems. The good thing about types is not that you can just annotate (or not with good inference not) and validate that some type is what you expect it to

if splenda caused a subset of people to be violently ill (like they are claiming) it would be off the market so fast. i find it hard to believe it's because of 'allergy/sensitivity'.
