The biggest changes seem (at least from the quiz) is to not automatically label high-fat food as unhealthy and correspondingly label high sugar foods as probably not healthy. Good changes.

Of course, Python is the leader but the only other language which comes even close is C++. It (C++) is also vastly more fun for hardcore programmers so yes it should be an option in the toolbox.

But to flip this around, let's say you want to use this third party in some other "modern" language how would this become better?. Clearly if someone hadn't done the work to package in vcpkg/conan you can expect it

Most important reason for the rebirth of golang (after it's initial dip in early '10s) and wide spread adoption of Kotlin is the ownership of Java by Oracle. It doesn't matter what fine print exists, but everyone knows what k

Jobs with primarily companies that advertise on hacker news and not a broad representation of the job market. Clearly the boom time of 2021 and the subsequent bust very visible with Python.

Julia syntax is so nice and consistent, a welcome relief from the oddball things that are a result of a mishmash in numpy/python/pandas world. Damn shame it hasn't taken off as much. While Multiple dispatch is great, I feel i

I wonder how much of this love of Rust stems from the fact that he actually didn't have a full time job programming in Rust. When one starts off doing hobby projects in Rust the experience can be very pleasant thanks to cargo (btw, it

Kudos for effort but some dealbreakers here. Hope it makes more progress. Currently about 10x slower than standard C (ranging from 3x to 20x) Only works on Linux/X86_64

Rust is more complicated than C++ to get your head around due to it's specialized concepts around lifetime, ownership, async and other topics. The upside is memory safety. If you don't need memory safety and very close to C++ perf

Something seemed off about this list as it suggested “rocket science” in this field is MapReduce from Google. Turns out this list is from 2014 [1], reader beware, as things have changed since then. [1] https://news.ycombinator.co

At least you can play the tic-tac-toe game. What will you do with a partially finished C++ to Rust project? With automated tools the first 90% conversion takes 10% of the time and the remainder 10% of cases take 90% of time. So, you actuall

Congrats on the release. What's the difference between iceoryx and iceoryx2? I don't want to use Rust and want to stick to C++ if possible.

This is from 1977. I suppose it's ok for fundamentals but you can probably do better going with a modern text like Model Building in Mathematical Programming by H. Paul Williams (5th Edition)
