I agree wholeheartedly with the author. Not a lot of things irk me more than the Medium era of blogging. Aside from the shady practice of Medium itself, I feel like with it came the meme-infused blogs, which I personally dislike a lot. I do

It's gonna sound snarky, but I don't think there is any crypto that is ready for "widespread usage" if by that we mean literally 100s of millions of users per day, doing multiple transactions each. ETH for example is sit

While this is an decent interim solution, I wouldn't want to call out to Python for anything running in production from Julia. Good for prototyping at home perhaps. A lot of the "scientific" Python packages (NumPy, SciPy, etc

The deflationary nature of Bitcoin is a commonly used property to assert that Bitcoin is designed to increase in value over time due to artificially programmed scarcity. However, I don't think GP's parallel lines up, as another co

Bitcoin can be used for transacting if you're not looking for instantly verified transactions. In ye olden days, when Bitcoin was a few cents worth, transaction costs were tiny. I really doubt Satoshi et al predicted Bitcoin to be so u

I agree with GP, I feel a similar disdain when I hear that features that are merged into the standard are for the "library implementors". Boost.Coroutine and Boost.Asio have been around for how long? At least a decade? I think the

Wow, at least from the screenshot in the README, the binary size is much smaller. However I think that's just from the fact that they don't bundle the JavaScript engine and the rendering engine into their binary. You're right

In a previous company we had to do FF and Chrome. Not IE though, which was a big time saver. QA ran all their test cases on the latest stable of both FF and Chrome, and features would not be deployed to prod if they didn't work on both

This kind of makes me think... is there room for a much more stripped down version of Chromium that is suitable for lower memory footprint? Or is this impossible? It looks like Tauri uses system webviews, which use a lot less memory, but th

I agree with you that the C# example is far more readable. One thing I like about Rust is that you can implement traits on standard library types. You can imagine implementing a "Where" trait on e.g Vec<T> (btw, you don&#x27

Agreed. I will never recommend an ORM, things simply spiraled out of control for medium to large-ish projects that had more than 2 developers. Even with "best practices", code ended up having a mix of raw SQL and ORM-style queries

Yeah, it's kind of interesting how two extreme camps have evolved out of the "controversial" decision not to include generics in Go 1.0: * Camp 1: generics will always be horrible, Go is right not to include it, it's too

Pretty much. Bartosz's posts are pretty much exclusively about the superiority of Haskell and functional programming, with occasional forays into C++ to explain a functional concept in a more familiar syntax.
