The code itself isn’t the only risk factor; it’s weighted by others, like discoverability, which are asymmetric in time. If the white hats fix an issue in version n+1, they’re going to make sure people know. If black hats (or normal devs ma

Large monorepos tend to already support such analysis via tools like Bazel.

React lets you build DOM with normal JavaScript loops and .map; solid requires its own For element. How do you define “does not fight against js”? Because the above feels likes solid fighting against js.

rust has parametric polymorphism, it just calls it generics—and traits correspond to ocaml signatures. These aren't useful juxtapositions.

Preemptive scheduling, as opposed to cooperative scheduling. Basically: the scheduler can interrupt an erlang thread at any time, instead of a depending on threads to cooperate with the scheduler to see if they should stop. In go, for examp

Software rendering of these rules might lag a bit—but if you have dedicated hardware, it should be possible to make this work.

People do use them, though. Look through the fastjson dependents on GitHub[1] and you'll find serious projects from the Kubernetes special interest groups and various blockchains. Heck; elastic even built their own for beats[2]. Ther

The question of "what would make you change jobs" seems super-prone to social desirability bias—and the author does nothing to control for that. Does anyone have links to research that does ?

I agree. That one can e.g. lift every binary operator at once with just a few lines of code makes even python overloading feel heavy—but readers can still understand it easily. My point isn't that "D doesn't meet that bar&quo

The library looks impressive, but I dunno about that sales pitch: isn't "more principled than C++ templates"… a pretty low bar? And isn't "more practical than Template Haskell"… also a pretty low bar? I would

> For example you cannot have multiple inheritance of classes (only of interfaces) so you cannot fall into the diamond problem like in C++ or Java. This is a weird thing to call out java for: you cannot inherit from multiple classes ther

Kudos to the author for calling out Haskell's String—but the problems run deeper than defaults. For example: if you're not aware of strictness, you can easily wring poor performance out of the "good" types like Text and

That’s the premise of behavioral therapy, which is very commonly used to treat depression. When the article describes patients having exhausted all other options before turning to rTMS, it means that no, behavior change could not do the the

I’ll gladly grant that the mutable date types of pre-jdk8 Java were ugly APIs, but you’re still missing my point here: the LocalDate class was added in the same release as Instant was—it’s not a worse Instant, it’s solving a different probl

by riwsky 5y ago
Why are you blaming a class called “LocalDate” for not giving you global timestamps? The java doc for the class has an entire paragraph on how it is not a time. If you want to model a specific instant in time, use Instant.

That’s a bad analogy. Use of Rails isn’t broken on a technical level; use of glibc on alpine is.
