For what use cases have you been moving from Swift to C++ and what benefits have you seen? Unrelatedly, given that they all compile down to LLVM IR, in some sense Rust, Swift, and C++ are all syntactic sugar, aren’t they?

What do you mean by M&M? Did the overnight raids in Tokyo also kill 80,000 people? I don’t know the numbers for Tokyo but that would sound surprising.

This is textbook bikeshedding. If you have a bias for C syntax, everything else will look niche, weird, or "clearly insane" to you. But there's no reason that we should prefer C's syntactic decisions for assignment and e

Most programming languages but not all. Three prominent examples are Pascal which you mention, OCaml, and the POSIX `test`/`[` command which all use `=` for equality. (More specifically, for structural equality, in the case of OCaml.

I think it may have been desire for impact. SPJ spoke with disappointment about his lack of impact on Microsoft's products. Excel did end up adopting lambdas but that took a decade and a half. Inside Epic, he can roll out functional pr

It did. That was a cooperative equilibrium in which they could share their gains from offering you a lower salary. In a non-cooperative equilibrium, they cannot share their gains so their best response is to match competing offers.

In game theory territory, no company's best response is to stick to publicly posted salary ranges. Suppose that you are among the top performing workers in the labor market. If you have two job offers, you could get those two companies

Apparently in 2018 they reduced the legal limit from 68 hours/week to 52. Now "business groups" were lobbying to push it back to 69, in order to boost "productivity." The fact that those execs think that this would

I think it's less about typing them and more about reading them. Curly braces reduce the number of keywords in the language (unless the alternative is indentation sensitivity like in Python or Haskell). This means that if I see a word,

One might argue that the role of tech is to help society fulfill the higher rungs of the Maslow hierarchy rather than the lower ones. In that case, whether it is essential is the wrong question. But then most of tech arguably doesn't
