I came to a similar realization recently. I used to care so much about how pristine my books looked and then I realized that some of my favorite books I have found in used bookstores are ones which are written all over and have a well-worn

Some of these probably aren't exactly classics but I do love: - rendezvous hashing / consistent hashing - Hybrid logical clocks - "Don’t Settle for Eventual: Scalable Causal Consistency for Wide-Area Storage with COPS" -

Do you have any references for these principles for writing Tokio servers? Or just a high level summary of what best practices look like?

I didn't expect this to get posted here. Long time lurker here. I'm really interested in programming language design and ergonomics. What niche PL features would you like to see have more adoption?

At least in my understanding of SSA, its a compiler implementation detail which makes writing optimizations simpler. I imagine you can implement flow typing without SSA. Can you elaborate what you mean?

What's the nice short paper? (I'd be interested in reading it!)

The contract programming in D is pretty much syntactic sugar for placing asserts at different parts of your program. Refinement types can be used as compile time checks for preconditions and postconditions, while this contract programming i

The syntax is correct but I made a logical error since balance is being compared to itself (as opposed to the new balance at the end).

Looks like its a typo :( The correct way to go about this would be to return the new balance and capture the return value in the first part of the out postcondition like: ```D double deposit(double amount) in (amount > 0, "Deposit a

Yeah my biggest issue has been that none of my muscle memory transfers over and it adds another hurdle to ever getting back into the game.

I no longer want to support OpenAI at all. Regardless of benchmarks or real world performance.

I think this is because the prevailing narrative around this bubble is: A) AI gets very good and you'll lose your job. OR B) This whole thing is a bubble and because of how many eggs have been put in this single basket, when the bubble

I think the implicit assumption here is that you are using a terminal-based code editor like neovim... which is not necessarily true.

I would highly recommend Wirth's Compiler Construction. Great, short book with a lot to say.

Came here to say this. Using opencode with the API works fine.

My interest in Rust comes from getting frustrated with C's type system. Rust has such a nice type system and I really enjoy the ownership semantics around concurrency. I think that C++ written "correctly" looks a lot like Rus

Have you seen libkj [1]? I've used it and really enjoy working with it. It has a rust-like owned pointer and the whole library uses these smart pointers. It has proper container classes based on B-trees and its also got an async runtim

One of my favorite papers! This reminds me of Martin Kleppmann's work on Apache Samza and the idea of "turning the database inside out" by hosting the write-ahead log on something like Kafka and then having many different mat
