I guess what I was trying to say is that it makes it so easy to write down types, even really complex ones, that it kind of gives a safety net that lets us be more creative in coming up with types than we might otherwise feel comfortable wi

I've never considered #9 (global namespace) until yesterday, but it seems like a show stopper for dynamic web components, whereas a system like React has components simply being JavaScript objects that can be imported and whose name is

I'm not sure that's inherently a bad thing. Yes, loyalty should be rewarded, and employees should not be treated like resources but as people with inherent dignity. And I can see that its unethical to hire external workers to avoi

Oh I understand. You're talking about stripping down the final Java output to not include more than what's needed, for a better end-user-experience. I was talking about which UI module to include and target from a developer's

It looks a lot like SwiftUI, although I know they work fundamentally differently. I wonder if Qt could adopt that approach somehow, maybe with new C++ features, or maybe by adopting Swift...

I don't see how Java modules have anything to do with the UI framework. Swing is still part of JRE and JDK, and JavaX is now a third party framework, but that's as far as I can tell how that concept is related here.

That would be the "old fashioned" option, or what their site seems to call Qt GUI, and not compatible with Qt QML or Qt Quick (or Qt Quick Controls 2 which I think are just an upgrade)... I think.

I've looked into Qt several times in the past two decades as a cross platform SDK for some app ideas I had, but one thing that kept stopping me is the confusing multiple offerings they had. It reminded me of Windows programming: do I c

That is incredibly unethical and standard behavior for Facebook.

I just edited the comment to clarify what I meant by those words. And they should be used because they are accurate in this context. Although I did convert "greed" to "avarice" in my clarification since I think it's

It just occurred to me. We're in a very similar situation as Americans were 90-100 years ago when hearing about the extreme atrocities of the Nazis. Many didn't believe it, many believed it but didn't know what we could do ab

What's wrong with legally limiting artificial price hikes to prevent people from abusing Demand > Supply for the sake of their greed? [Edit] To clarify, they seem to be "artificial" price hikes because they don't in a

Well hatred is hatred, and everyone recognizes it. That's why even so many non-Christians and non-Catholics loved Pope John Paul II and Mother Theresa, because they were filled with love and had no hate in their hearts. Saints just lik

So basically mixins, right? Those were hard to use correctly in Ruby, because you might have multiple whose behavior clash because they can access the same data and were not written with each other in mind. I wonder how Rust solves that.

This is really hard to follow and I'm not sure I'm understanding it the way he intended. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems to be saying that, to avoid breaking consumers of your library often by changing the implementatio

Check out https://www.pika.dev/packages/htm which solves exactly that problem. Personally I like it so far.

The Church has always said that the same Bible verse can have multiple true, correct meanings, as long as they don't contradict one another.

In other words, "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer." Although, technically that Bible verse has significantly richer and more useful meaning than your interpretation, I don't think it doesn't mean what you said

Thanks for sharing these links! My point was that I didn't know how to do this, not knowing these frameworks existed and unable to find them on my own search. You solved that issue for me. If these frameworks get more attention, mayb

Not OP, but in my experience, it's harder to know how to get from System.out.println("hello world") to GET / in a browser showing "<b>hello world</b>", without adopting some intensely documente

I liked a similar aspect of Ruby: attributes and 0-args methods had the same syntax, so you could easily refactor a static field into a method that returns a dynamically calculated value. Overall I don't like that feature, but that was

The "Capitalization feature" is actually objectively worse because of the reason OP mentioned, of having to rename all semi-local usages when visibility changes. But good IDEs can help mitigate the difficulty of this. But even mor

If you're just writing a REST API, I wonder, why did you choose Go for this instead of Java or Python?

My pleasure, I always enjoy sharing what I firmly to be the truth. I guess that's a pretty common attitude here on HN, but I seem to be the only one who believes that truth is found in the Catholic Church.

In some mysterious psychological way that I don't fully understand, per-pixel scrolling helps me to mentally keep my place significantly faster and easier than per-line scrolling.
