I would not call it frontend and backend, but build configuration and build execution. For execution Ninja is nearly perfect. For configuration the needs differ a lot.

Recently I played around with the newest iPhone filters. The pictures had weird shadows and distorted backgrounds. Are distorted backgrounds really an indicator for fake profiles? Smartphones do all kind of weird stuff to "real" i

Even more meta, but one of the really big questions is: How to give people what they need instead of what they want? I think it was pg who said "make something people want". If the plan is to get rich that is the way to go. If you

Regular programming is not different. You mention the case of users data being sent to a server. There is so much which can go wrong there when authentication, load balancing, session management, data storage, and network latencies interact

You can probably read the following math due to your upbringing: √9+7! Better compared to "square root of nine plus factorial of seven".

Then what does Dijkstra criticize? > The fact that the printed or written word is apparently not the proper medium for the propagation of APL may offer a further explanation for its relative isolation; at the same time that fact may be v

J can be considered APL 2.0 and it fixes Dijkstras complaint since it is ASCII only.

My understanding is that APL was initially designed to compete with math notation. Math formulas often require a two-dimensional language (consider matrices, roots, sums, products). Iversion tried to completely redo math notation in a more

Looking at Advent of Code solutions, I'm not sure if APL is really so much shorter or if it is rather a styling of programming. Some day2 solutions from reddit [0]: APL: 0{⍺⋄s←⍵⋄c←s[f+⍳4]⋄99=0⌷c:0⌷s⋄i a b l←s[c]⋄s[3⌷c]←(0⌷c-1)⌷a(

I'm actually surprise how many J/APL/K/Q solutions get posted there already. It seems to be popular among golfers.

Synchronisation between two cores is fastest with hardware support, so shared memory with cache coherence protocol. Cache coherence protocol are all designed to keep everybody in sync. So if you scale to thousands of cores, you better sync

The rule does not work right. Let's say A and B do not depend on each other but both depend on C. Now we want all three in the same repo, because if Cs interface changes we can fix A and B in the same change. So even such indirect rela

Other build systems (CMake, Meson, etc) should be able to gain the sandboxing feature. The remote execution feels more fundamental to me and not so easy to replicate.

It depends on where you live and if you are willing to move. However, FinFisher seems to be located in Munich and it is easy to find a software developer job in Munich.

The usual quip because Go has no Templates/Generics, so you have to sacrifice type safety all the time by casting to and from Interface{}.

Who says that static analysis happens "later in the code-review system"? Static analysis does not equal (slow) data flow analysis. Actually, most people have a (very weak) form a static analysis which happens before the compiler:

Another argument (which I remember coming from Walter): The job of the compiler is to generate code. It's job is not too serve as a half-assed static analysis tool. Today a compiler is not the only tool to parse a language anymore. It

I see the need of the police to access personal communication to fight child abuse. However, if the police can access it, then so can NSA, China, Mafia, and random hackers. A backdoor is not restricted for long. I consider this risk higher
