I've been going circles when trying to asses pros/cons of C++ and Rust. It's the topic frequently discussed on HN, but still find the point is not driven home properly. Eventually I've picked C++, because of it wide supp

Nothing wrong with semicolons. IMO they make code look a little bit less readable - you need to look at semicolon while you could be just looking at the empty line. One of the reasons people like python.

The best thing about reading technical books is that it naturally leads one to get aquainted deeper with the topic at hand. Usually many ideas spawn out of some brilliant work which is published for a while already and its really worthwhile

Great analogy. I see how this sort of attitude can be seen as mad/neurotic. However the good side is that it prevents adding more complexity (rules for when to annotate/not annotate is adding complexity).

In our case biggest problem arose with Pandas, where each dataframe transform would need to have it's own type. When there are a lot of transforms it is more readable to infer what type variable has just by looking at transforms (more

> there is probably a way to make typing work with pandas So we did use a lot of pandas as well. The way to make it work is to create custom types and of course each dataframe will have it's own type which is going to be a total mes

I see your points and I was going through pretty much all of them when deciding whether to go with typings or not (eventyally we did because I wanted to try it out and because pressure from Java people who found it odd that we don't ca

That is really on point, thanks! ps. watched the presentation - the idea here is that static type checking can eliminate entire category of possibile bugs which are impossible to be eliminated by test - for example enforce variables to be o

Can you show me this "initial highly condescending wording of your comment"?

Thanks for your answer - in a nutshell big companies do consider it, but decide to wait for chip manufacturers to update their hardware and do the upgrade. How fast is this feedback loop matters here.

IMO this project has very little chances to succeed outside of trusted environments, simply because of privacy - same reason why Google Glass failed. It doesn't matter if Facebook will blur faces and vehicle plates - the problem is tha

Great write-up on that subject is in the first chapter of "Mythical Man-Month". Here is small excerpt. Why is programming fun? What delights may its practitioner expect as his reward? First is the sheer joy of making things. As t
