To be honest, I have zero experience programming with Zig. But I imagine programming with Zig would lead to more literal style and fewer, simpler abstractions (no IoC, no frameworks). That might be beneficial for certain kinds of focused-sc

Oh, I don’t think it is a trend. I rather see it as a curious phenomenon that makes one reflect on the trade offs we usually make when using polymorphism, and whether it’s worth all the time, not only in terms of performance, but also in te

From what I’ve seen, Zig has no built-in polymorphism features (no vtables/interfaces/traits), which is _pretty_ weird for a modern language in a good way.

I suggest you just don’t reply to cold emails and mark them as spam. Automated mass cold emailing is spam.

Will these hospitalized people be also financially ruined? Or is emergency COVID care free of charge?

I believe, also local IP address, as a machine may have multiple network interfaces with different IP addresses. At least it's something that I've read being used for a demo of simultaneous one million network connections.

It’s easy to measure statistics of a device noising among several grid cells to find with high probability the exact coordinate. Think of a person standing right where grid lines intersect, so with 25% probability each time the position wil

I think "politics" is "communication in a group of more than 20 people".

Yes, that's what my experience was as well. First couple of days I had to drink sugarless coke and chew sugarless gum all day just to keep some mental clarity. But after several days cravings just stop.

You don't need to write boilerplate code and watch for syntax errors, if you use a programming language that does not encourage boilerplate or have a lot of syntax. When I start a new C# project, first 40 minutes I am mindlessly writin

How do we measure what programmers produce?

On one hand we say that IT professional's work cannot reasonably be quantified in a scalar KPI measured by management, on the other hand we like to say that "recent studies" show that some numeric expression of productivity o

How about this: K is an interpreted language, but your whole program's source code plus the interpreter plus the whole database engine fits inside your server's L1 cache, so K programs tend to be faster than their C equivalents (i

I really wish programming language websites had example code snippets on the front page. How the code looks and feels, what makes the language unique, how things compare to another widely-known language. Personally, it is the first thing I

I wonder if in this thread engineers crapping all over the design choices of one of the most reliable and wide-spread DB engines in the world are the same ones who spin up Kubernetes clusters for todo-list SPAs at work?

If I understand correctly, modern Java has multiple GC engines available (that can be chosen with a command-line switch), some of which are either fully concurrent or with sub-millisecond stop times.

Yes. By default, if you put information on the web, it is assumed that you are okay with people seeing it.

That’s called “kebab case”. When your language supports it, you know the language is good :)
