This reads like "I don't like current music, therefore music is dead". Music subculture is alive and well; you probably just don't care for it.

How does this help when trying to determine the parameters a function takes? You have to either hope that the name is descriptive enough or that the function is well-documented. Failing that, you need to read the code to find out.

This is similar to what Haskell has with trace[1]. It pretends to be a pure function (so it doesn't need the IO monad), but prints to stderr. [1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.21.0.0/docs/Deb

Works very well in the UK. Local news, government websites, etc. You can easily change the country in the results page, which is useful for people who speak multiple languages. With DuckDuckGo, I sometimes had to resort to !g to use Google,

Firefox's new implementation is subpar. You're better off using an add-on like Sidebery for more features, but you need custom user chrome CSS to hide the horizontal tabs.

Doesn't Julia suffer from very long startup times? One of the things I use Python for is CLI programs. The startup time isn't great either, but Julia was even worse last I tested.

I wouldn't say you need to look very young. I've been asked to show my ID when entering venues and buying alcohol[1], and I'm nearly 30. I might look under 25 if you're being generous. As a result, I usually carry my pas

This always felt weird to me in the UK. As a foreigner, I have to carry my passport anyway, but how do citizens who don't have driving licences identify themselves in day-to-day life? Say they get carded at a pub?

Brazil has a similar system (gov.br), which provides access to almost everything you might need from the government, including notary services, public healthcare records, driver's licenses, consulate services abroad, income tax, social

It's been years since typing was added to Python, and many people still underestimate it. You're right; Python with strict type hints is more type-safe than Java and Go. It even has features like pattern matching and proper enums,

Where is the indication that this light (which is barely visible to instruments, let alone humans) does not come from "just chemical reactions"? This finding is certainly interesting, but it does not at all contribute to "spi

When the Israeli government says it, they mean removing or exterminating all Palestinians on "their" land. When Palestinians and their allies say it, they mean they want to live in their land without fearing for their lives.

Something's wrong. Maybe a setting or a random app is preventing your laptop from sleeping properly. You have many threads here saying that MacBooks can go weeks on sleep, and that's also my experience (M1 Pro).

Note that `or/||` and `and/&&` are not interchangeable. They have different precedences.

"People" have differing opinions, but the one I mostly see from the left is that they want Palestinians to live in the land they owned before Israeli colonisers invaded it and forced them to relocate to subhuman conditions. What I

Danish PM's comment is about integration. You're mischaracterising it. I'd say it's pro immigration, not what you're trying to spin it as. "We want immigrants to integrate" is not the same as "we don&

Not really. I deal with this everyday. If the library has a limit on the input size, it should mention this.

Yes, which is why Zig can't have RAII. Zig initialisation and destruction are fundamentally different to how RAII works in other languages. That's not a negative point; it's just how Zig is. But it's not RAII.

From the README: > Memory safety with RAII patterns I'm curious to see how they achieve RAII in Zig, which doesn't have destructors. If they mean defer + deinit methods, that's not the same thing.

by maleldil 1y ago
Zig isn't memory safe, though. It's safer than C or C++, but not much.

I think this assessment is unfair. The paper [1] is not from economists. The first author is an endocrinologist. The third author is a dermatologist. As for where the authors are from, I don't see why it would matter, as long as their

On the other hand, _all_ of C++ is unsafe.
