The first sentence if the article: "Compiling a lot of code fast is a hard problem, especially when the compiler has to perform complex analyses such as overload resolution and type inference with generics." The go language doesn&

So you _do_ actually support the cessation of a large majority of meat production?
155.
by mac01021 6y ago
That is true. But finding out those numbers is a much bigger problem for you or I than it is for a national government that can dedicate full-time research staff to producing sensible estimates. So a benefit of this policy is that environm

It would be a big change for sure, but maybe less of a problem than you imagine: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-calories-from-an... Also there's the fact that, per calorie, producing beef requires an

I've missed something. If I stop eating meat then people will starve? Are you talking about the meat farmers?

There are very reasonable legislative proposals for a carbon tax (most preferably a "fee-and-dividend" [1]) which apply border adjustments to imported goods based on their carbon footprint. This prevents the tax from simply causin

What, in your opinion, would be a better mechanism for interrupting threads in Java (aside from just making it an unchecked exception)? Something like Erlang, where any process will just die upon being sent the exit message, whether it&#x27

I've seen plenty of c/c++/java functions that exceeded 200 lines of high level code. It seems reasonable to me that such a function would be 5k bytes of machine code, especially on a 64-bit architecture. Not that such functi

How much time do you spend with nonbillable work like lining up clients? I've always been interested in contracting but not really felt like I knew how to get started.

Suppose I do. That's good money for me, but it doesn't amount to a controlling share in the company.

I worked as a software engineer for a large media company, outside of any tech hub. I switched to working remotely for a San Francisco-based startup because they offered me a 30% raise over what my current employer was willing to pay. Two y

It doesn't matter how much your shares appreciate. You can't retain control of your company if you have to give up a significant fraction of your votes every year.

I get how the USPS is pretty essential to the entire practice of mail-in voting. But, ignoring that one thing, I've always considered the value, to me, of the USPS to be significantly less than zero. I'm a little bit surprised tha
