I mean for the purpose of a study. Not for day to day coding.

People still use Cobol, mate. Just specify in the first sentence what you are talking about as full words. Is it that hard? Apparently it is.

"To make good on its dominant Encyclopedic role on the Internet, Wikimedia needs to grow." Does it? What does "make good on its dominant Encyclopedic role" even mean? That's just hogwash pretending to be a sentence.

This is acronym heavy. Author needs to specify in the opening which JWT he is talking about. Java Web Toolkit? or JSON web token? It took me a fair amount of reading to work out which one he means. And even them I'm only pretty sure he

Why not blind the code reviews? So the reviewing engineers have no idea who wrote the code? Do that for a while and see if the 35% persists. It might go down. It might persist. It might go up.

Those who complain most loudly about the 10x being a myth are those whose self opinion of their skill (placing themselves as a 10x), and their actual level of skill (placing them a 1x) are too far apart. Often they don't realise what t

I'm not trolling. I am feeding back to this person calling for outright violence their own attitude. It's attitudes like vesak's that will lead us to blood filled streets. Hate breeds hate. And eye for an eye leaving the whol

I totally agree about the hiring process. I've found that those most vocal against certain hiring techniques that tend to work fairly well in the large are bitter at their own mediocrity being discovered in such a process, and that res

What is "the jitter test"?

After having interviewed, code-tested and hired quite a number of developers I can say the premise of this story is complete hogwash. You may be able to program to some level without talent or passion, but the talented, passionate ones will

So are you saying that C++ has no plans to implement finally? (also I totally disagree that RAII is superior to finally. Finally, being lexically scoped, is far simpler, far shorter and far easier to understand. https://codecraft

AFAIK C++ still doesn't have a finally construct for its exceptions. Are there any plans to introduce it? Is so, when does it land?

Don't get me wrong. At some point I'm definitely going to get into it. Get a SMD workstation proper. I'm just getting ranty with you saying its "easier". The word is so often abused today. It's easier now to or

"easier". Just pull apart a toaster oven. Reconfigure it. Rewire it. Get some paste. Make a stencil. You know. Easy peasy. Get the software. Learn how to use it. Get the stencils printing. Easy. Oh, you've got registration pr

Hogwash. There are effects that analogue clearly destroys digital on. And the main one is distortion. Digital is much more suited to time based effects. Analogue to harmonic distortion based effects. You can keep your ADC/MCU/DAC

HM-2 on bass is really good. If my memory serves, Kevin Shields used the HM-2 on bass on some My Bloody Valentine tracks.

There's still plenty of reason to use discontinued components in DIY. And that reason is the form of the component's package. This is a problem for me when building high end audio circuits. A lot of the modern components are only

Yep. And with that closed mindedness he cuts himself off from trying what IMHO is the best reactive front end ecosystem around today. That is one of the react based clojurescript frontend systems. Sorry, but your amazing, functional, pragam

The room needs some sound treatment. Also I found Sam's constant vocal fry annoying and difficult to listen to. Sorry, yes, I'm OCD.

Just use elixir on the server, and clojurescript on the client.

That sounds pretty good! I will check that out.

I use them both. They are very different beasts. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. They have different trade offs. In Clojure I miss the preemptive VM support for the Erlang "processes", the pattern matching and th

Well that (default being TCO, and explicitly declaring a stack call) would mean every normal function call (the vast majority) would need to be explicitly declared (call func args...), and the implicit case would need to blow up everywhere

by retrogradeorbit 10y ago
Clojure does actually support TCO, it doesn't support automatic TCO because of the JVM limitations. And after using explicit TCO calls in clojure for a while I actually prefer it now over automatic TCO. Because I can clearly see from
