The roast date is the important differentiator. Coffee from major brands (such as the aforementioned Paulig) do not include it. Rather, they have a best before date, which can be literally years after the roasting. But I guess the coffee ca

I'm not claiming that people of any nation in particular drink lighter roasted coffee, or even that Finland is exceptional in this regard. It's not a competition. I'm arguing that on the whole spectrum of coffee roasting, eve

The comparison does not make sense. WordPress is a CMS that happens to be written in PHP, while ASP.NET and Ruby on Rails are frameworks for building web services which don't do anything by themselves. At best you would get a blank &qu

Well it's not an exact replica. It's missing all of the interactive elements, most of the secrets, elevators etc. Everything that makes Quake interesting as a game. But it is still very impressive for 13kb.

I don't agree with that. For example, I think it brings me joy as a reader that I can tell at a glance from a function signature which arguments are modified and which ones are just read. Without the abstraction of mutable and immutabl

In my experience unsafe tends to be used really sparingly by most users, if at all. And besides, unsafe doesn't really turn off static checks - it allows you to do a few extra things that can't be proven to be safe statically, in

You don't know what you are talking about. Rust doesn't have garbage collection and has a memory footprint very close to C.

TypeScript has nothing to do with C#, apart from its creator. The structural type system with explicit nulls, sum types and very powerful generics makes it feel much closer to the ML family of languages than C#, despite using the C-like JS

IIRC the actual bug was that cats licking their paws made them consume an entire tankard's worth of beer with each lick, which made them drunk (and dead) with just a few licks.

I don't think this is a _typical_ signature. On the contrary, it's quite exceptional. In my experience having more than 1 type parameter in a function is quite rare in most code, unless you're building an advanced, composable

If we include data race safety in the definition of memory safety (which it ultimately is), then Rust is safer than any commonly used garbage collected language with access to multithreading, including Swift, Java and C#.

AFAIK the limit has been lifted since Windows NT (so since the 90s), but only if you use the obscure NT path prefix (\\?\).

My understanding is that Fastly has a lot more edge locations than AWS, so using their image CDN results in lower latencies for many users than they could achieve with Cloudfront alone.

Well, sum types are not magic - they must be stored in the memory somehow. Rust's enums tend to use a simple approach: there's a large enough integer tag (usually an 8-bit integer), followed by enough space to store any of the var

Depending on your definition of systems programming (there are many!) OCaml might or might not be completely unsuitable for it. Mandatory garbage collection, no real multithreading and higher than zero-cost FFI are at least reasons why it s

Absolutely - F# is greater than the sum of its features. While it's good that C# keeps getting features inspired by F#, they fundamentally won't change the way it's written. The actual experience of using global type inferenc
