6.36 MB, that's how much space takes MS Paint. In era when web pages sizes are no longer counted in kilo- but megabytes is this really a meaningful size reduction? Because it's definitely a meaningful feature loss.

It means new user (hence green color).

That UI looks much more usable than the chatbot itself. As a user I would probably prefer to traverse the tree and see multiple options at the same time than to pretend I'm having a chat.

Judging by used color, the picture might be a result of this demo: https://github.com/mmcloughlin/globe/blob/master/examples/ci... I have no idea what kind of cities might be listed in 'cities.

I am taking part in the discussion indirectly by pointing out that your argumentation is irrelevant and does not support your opinion. It's not the words that were incorrect. The logic behind them is flawed. The list is supposed to con

I never said or implied that I believe it is science based. I highly doubt it is. However I hadn't played it so I'm not going to argue about that. What I said is that your argumentation is absolutely incorrect and wrong in this co

As a bonus you can meditate deeply on all conseqences of using tempates in the vastly increased compilation time that they are going to introduce.

A slightly related note: you can get similar behavior in C (and C++) with compiler extensions. In GCC and clang marking function with '__attribute__((warn_unused_result))' will produce a warning if function is called without using

Probably because exceptions are the biggest source of pain with RAII.

Firefox has the same feature. To use it right click on any search box on any website you visit to assign it a keyword. This works great with vimperator, which has tab-completion for search keywords.

Oh, alright. We are speaking about two different things. I was thinking about compilation and specifically supporting complex language features which are mostly handled by a compiler frontend which is this case is clang. And it seems that

I think that they might have picked the size due to ergonomics. It's hard and incovienent to use very small obejcts and Nintendo seems to target players of all ages.

I don't think RAII is a concept complex enough to write a book about it... Probably a blog post or Wikipedia page is enough to explain it fully.

"Kotlin is like Java" would be pretty funny.

I guess that the next one will be: "Kotlin is like Rust", or perhaps there should be "Kotlin is like Go" first?

Not relying on package manager does not imply that they rewritten all the functionality provided by relevant packages. They may still use 3rd party libraries but instead of adding dependency to package manager, they may pull their sources i

Arguably there are already couple of popular compilers [0] for JavaScript (Babel, Closure Compiler, minifiers etc.). They just don't target native CPU assembly. [0] Compiler is just a program that transforms code from one representatio
