I know its anecdotal, but I hear the phrase all of the time. People who have only ever used higher-level languages, and want to learn more about computers. The say that they would rather learn C over C++, Rust, etc. because C is 'how c

I use Cloudflare to get HTTPS on my github pages site, and I really like it. I get a lot of control over cached content and security, and statistics about site traffic. I am kind of happy that GitHub did not support HTTPS for custom domains

So I wouldnt say that LLVM places restrictions, but I will say a little of my experience doing LLVM + BoehmGC BoehmGC uses the stack for its root set (where it starts to find live memory). With LLVM, you dont ever need to explicitly use the

How is it barely portable? Sure, less than C for now, but its not 'barely.'

To add to the other answer, PyPy is a "Meta-JIT compiler", because it generates JITs, it isnt itself a JIT.

Do you have a link? I am thinking about converting my blog to CSS-Grid, but would like some inspiration.

the FF 57 team would say that you should check about:performance, and then report a bug if there are consistent perf issues.

Doesn't this only print once, and not over and over, like `yes` should?

It is worded opposite of what you say: > You're in the top 3% of engineers! (We should know, we've interviewed thousands.) We can totally help you get a job if you're interested. It is worded as if scoring well in this is

I am very pleased that you find joy with the piano. This and carpentry are in my opinion for your age the best pursuits, better even than school. Because those are things which fit a young person such as you very well. Mainly play the

Is it the advice thats part of the problem, or the reaction? The advice is great, why should a panelist take charge if he/she is being run-over by the moderator? The real issue is, like you said, that women are not 'supposed'

Why a web-app instead of a local application? Why does this need to be connected to the internet, when it doesnt interact with anything? Is it because you want to be able to sync to other devices, such as a phone app in the future?

You can say `return 42;` and it will return 42 as expected. Rust doesn't require parens in an if expression because it requires brackets. You could silence the warning and use parens though.

This is 100% false. Minecraft has a 'Windows edition' that is written in C++, and a main version that is in Java. Both version will continue to exist, and be updated, AIUI.

This is a really cool project, but it has not been updated in awhile, UMD has been dropping the ball.

Yup, we hard stole if-let from Swift ;). We even made it better!

by sinistersnare 11y ago
I personally disagree, there is little chance that Swift will be as fast as Rust and its runtime precludes it from a whole class of use that Rust has. Swift also is annoyingly special-cased, with things like Options being special in the lan

Actually, std::shared_ptr is more like Rusts Arc type, because std::shared_ptr is atomic, and Rusts Rc is not.

Yeah, the Ruby community is very blog-centric, and I have thought of that before, so you are most probably right. I too would like to see a study, but I would have no idea how to conduct it! Maybe the Ruby community is just reaching out eve

Throughout my experiences with both Python and Rust, I am able to use the same ideas to accomplish tasks. The Zen of Python fits both languages in my opinion also. I think that they are both very pragmatic languages, they are not trying to

A great writeup! A lot of the Rust community seems to have come from the Ruby side of things (with writings such as "Rust for Rubyists" by Steve Klabnik), although I feel that Rust and Python share many ideas that Ruby does not co

What guarantees does Go provide about pointer aliasing? I have no production code in Go, but from what I have played with, Go has no way of indicating that a pointer is not aliased, so how can it optimize that, other than through static ana

Rust builds for straight up ARM, see https://zinc.rs/ Now we only need to dependencies for Servo to move along and it could work. I would imagine this would be a lot of work for the OpenGL implementation they use.

At least the bugs are documented. Ruby bugs just are, theres nothing confirming them. Java bugs need to stay there because if they were fixed then it would be a backward incompatible change.

C++ does not have modules. When people say modules they mean how the files compile, and the current way is #include directives which literally copy-pastes the contents of that file into the includer file. This is horribly horrible for compi
