The most popular Scheme (Racket) comes with an object system, that I almost instantly fell on when I came to it from C#. I don't think there's any substitute to just explaining the problems with OOP.

It's actually a great example of why that works, but simultaneously an example of why it's not sufficient

The rest of the points here are excellent, but don't use `unsafe` until you have completely internalised the borrow checker rules. If your safe attempt is unsafe (and therefore doesn't pass the borrow checker), your unsafe code wi

The difference is between art which is seen as "too adult" being said to ruin society (like movies/games), which generally aren't that bad, and content which is specifically targeted at exploiting children's mental

I'm not bipolar, but I have a few friends that are and being bipolar _fucking sucks_. No-one who glamourises mental illness has real experience with mental illness.

But I don't think this article is trying to say "this type of person is great but society keeps them down, man". Or at least, that's not how I read it. The author explicitly says that the failure comes from lack of appli

I love most of Ubuntu's tools, but I can't stand Unity. It's ugly, it's slow (compared to other Linux DEs, obviously, it's still Fast Enough for most people), and worst of all it shows all the graphic pornography I

Lots of uses of "the" in C++ code, massively skewed by giant projects that have the massive section of boilerplate copyright info in a comment at the top of every single file. I didn't realise until I looked at this, but alth

You could have a general-purpose "heap" interface that controls allocation. This would mean that you could control allocation space (for games this is really useful), and tearing down the the heap would tear down its owned objects

This might be my favourite "silly nerdy bollocks"-type HN post that I've ever seen, what a great idea.

Currently writing this from Arch Linux on the ThinkPad T450s (I think it's the version directly before the one in this article). Cannot recommend it enough, easily the best laptop keyboard I've ever used and the touchpad feels nic

If you want to contribute to anything, I'll be posting it on my GitHub at https://github.com/jFransham . I've got the start of a game in Rust on there at the moment, but it's nothing like production-ready (and

Python's colon is not for the sake of the compiler (you could theoretically parse a version of Python without them), there were studies that showed that it's easier for humans to read with it than without. A lot of Python's d

I've moved to the Netherlands alone less than 6 months ago - so Dutch is high on the list of things that I want to learn (I can read it pretty well already, but I can't speak or write it very well). I'm using Duolingo, plus I

Fork it as a submodule in your repository, then change the Cargo.toml to point to the path by using [dependencies.somepackage] path = "./somepackage" Sorted.

At the risk of sounding inflammatory, what would be the point of using a parser generator over a powerful applicative-style combinator library like https://github.com/Marwes/combine ? I've used both in the past an

This is awesome, I only wish it was a mode integrated into Emacs, like evil-mode. I can't afford to give up the debugging, completion etc. that I get as part of emacs, but I would love to use this in my day-to-day flow.

Where do you sort the Dutch "ij"? The obvious answer is "between 'ii' and 'ik'" but it's actually just the print representation of "ÿ", a letter that is essentially only used in freehan

I'm loving spacemacs, but I can already see that I will do exactly this eventually. Evil is fantastic (because vim is fantastic) but I've been a power-user for long enough to have a strong opinion over exactly what I want.

I discovered spacemacs literally days ago, and had this exact experience almost word-for-word. Interesting that this article should appear now. Loving spacemacs so far, I actually prefer its keybindings to vim's, even though the space-

This thread is very negative, and I personally dislike runtime reflection so I wouldn't use this framework in its current design, but don't let the commentors get you down. I assume that you want to just show off something interes

One of many UK expats in the Netherlands here, definitely recommend joining us. You don't even need to know Dutch before you move here (some people never learn it).

The problem is that it's pretty seriously predicated on you caring about your naked pictures getting out in the world, which a lot (a majority, even?) of people in the USA and Europe do not. I know that if I could get money with the on
