Just wait until Rust (or lots of new languages) get mature and start getting pushed in weird directions by niche use cases. In addition, languages always need to be seen improving in order to hold the attention of all the magpie developers.

I think I will add to the chorus: I learned to juggle via the juggling book, and still participate in the activity to this day (~25 years later). Lots of friends and memories performing around my hometown in those intervening years, as well

My favorite: talking about how this recipe helped you cope with the September 11 attacks (although this intro is shorter than a lot that I have seen). https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017089-maple-shortbread...

While there are some eyebrow-raising studies suggesting the correlation between PPI use and dementia, it is far from settled science. There are conflicting studies, and some meta-analyses suggest no association. Of course, studies saying dr

I can speak at least a little bit about my field (computational chemistry). A lot of academic software is free and/or open source (like NWChem). These are installed by the cluster support for use by anyone. This is helpful because the

I imagine this is one of those things where everyone has different experiences. Or maybe it depends on location. We recently moved into a new house (from an apartment) and needed lots of little things renters never worry about. I have order

I know market cap isn't everything, but just thought I would look it up. Zoom (ZM) has a market cap of $40.77B (with a forward PE of 327.31...). Delta (DAL) has a market cap of $18.19B, with a forward PE of 3.91. Like I said, market ca

This really needs to be said more. For those of us not in web devel or microservices, the lower level of coupling between components really makes using multiple languages a pain. Plus, you have to learn all those languages -- sometimes I ju

I think postdoc is even better. Bit better pay and academic freedom. You are still somewhat shielded from responsibilities, but you can take that jump if you want to take the initiative. But no thesis hanging over your head :)

In some ways that might be true. But I also wonder if google is using tracking/profiling as kind of a crutch. A while ago, I had google forget about all the things I had searched for. I then wanted to look up some features of C++17, bu

I don't believe random numbers (certainly long strings of random numbers) would be an authorized transmission. They would serve no purpose allowed by Part 97.

Your calculations are a bit off, since even $75k * 0.15 * 40 = $450k (ie, not taking into account salary increases or returns). Also, $75k is a lot more that most people make. From what I can find, that would be ~85th percentile of personal

It is something I have noticed, too. Engineers seem more likely to trot out their degrees and claim expertise in matters outside of engineering. (this does seem to apply to "software engineers", too. But maybe I shouldn't ela

A little controversial, but I would have liked the larger programming community to address this rather than write completely new languages. Think of all the effort that has gone into rust. Compilers, package managers, libraries, etc. What w

But isn't this how you end up with a 'bloated' language? Everyone has their own corner case, own little way the language can be improved. Over time, these will inevitability burden a language. Adding features becomes necessar

Maybe I am missing something but how can this advice work for 95% of people? Maxing out the 401k and IRA would take $25,000 a year [0]. The median personal income in the US is only about $30,000 a year [1]. [0] https://www.irs.go

I'm a bit interested to see where this project is headed. My main question is what do you mean by "platform for computational chemistry"? A new package or an interface to existing packages (like WebMO)?

Current computational chemist here (in QM). It depends on what specific areas you are looking at. Computational chemistry is, itself, a fairly large field with several subfields and specializations (as mentioned in a sibling). I can't

C++ has this kind of equality for STL containers. Create nested maps, vectors, lists, sets, strings, etc, and you can just compare them with "==". It will do a deep compare.

Yeah that one is a little weird. C++11 included std::array to solve that problem (among others), but he doesn't use it and then complains about it anyway.
