I don't get that - to me the examples are much less readable than SQL and I don't understand why I should want to use this. Like, yes, you can reorder the query sections, which seems to be everyone's complaint about SQL, but

by t8sr 3y ago
If the main complaint people have about SQL is that you can't swap SELECT, FROM and WHERE, then that's pretty good for a language designed in the 70s. This, by contrast, looks like it has a bunch of random line noise for syntax. W

If you take away the word “workstation”, this is what many dev environments already look like: a mini version of the production, which includes restrictive network rules. You use the internet from your laptop, not the workstation. Also, the

Comparing Markdown and LaTex is silly. One is intended for intuitive plain text input, the other is, as the author points out, almost a full postscript style programming language. I don’t know what mdoc is optimizing for, but it’s sure not

Aside from the massive performance penalty, cache thrashing and context switching, this code will also leak a goroutine (and so, memory) if you don't finish receiving from `ch`. It's more brittle, longer to write, less local and i

"In theory" being the operative words there. Turn on heap escape analysis sometime, you'll be surprised how hard it is to avoid.

by t8sr 3y ago
Only very theoretically - in Go, you don't control whether memory goes on your stack or the heap, and heap escape analysis is notoriously unpredictable. There is no explicit free. You would have to write Go in a completely crazy way to

I mean, there are tests, sure. But at German schools for example, what do they really determine? Not your chance to get into university. For one thing, they're not standardized, except for Matura (AFAIK?). They don't influence the

I don't agree. If Europe stops having pharma companies, then whoever does have them can dictate prices. If we don't have chip foundries, then we depend on the US and China for telecommunications, and need to live with their standa

This isn't Cyberpunk 2077. The US reaps huge benefits from having companies like Google, Facebook and Microsoft subject to their laws and regulatory oversight, and owned by their capital. This is why lobbying is such a profitable busin

Most new GDP growth since the 90s has and will continue to come from capturing new industries, like large scale web tech, genetic technology, space flight and modern investment finance. For all of these industries, you need a critical mass

I mean, I did say developed world, but the link you're giving me is about China. I guess it's up to debate whether you consider that a developed country, but the IMF for example doesn't. Being more concrete, test in Europe

Optimizing for test scores is an American phenomenon. AFAIK schools in most of the rest of the developed world are not worrying about these metrics. (They do worry about how many pupils go on to graduate college, for example.) (Although of

Not really - a scientific journal contains information of a high quality. The fact that money is involved here makes no difference. A better analogy would be using your paid subscription to a horoscope.

Maybe stop and think if you’d react the same way to someone critiquing the product market fit of a workplace chat product. If not, then ask yourself why is a preference for a video game console a core part of your identity to the point wher

It sounds like you're mostly trying to use higher level toolkits like BCC and clang for eBPF, which I agree isn't a great experience, if you don't know what's going on underneath. I used to hand-code BPF before LLVM had

This is the correct answer, despite being downvoted. What’s technically preventing OpenXR apps from working? Vision Pro doesn’t implement OpenXR.

I was kind of assuming you had those things for a YAML based frontend, and just wanted to implement SQL support. I can see that if your YAML solution doesn’t have a way to express GROUP BY, so the backend doesn’t support it, then of course

I don’t understand the problem - is it that you don’t know the result type from just the query? (You need to consider the underlying schema) Or are you talking about something different?

by t8sr 3y ago
This comment is full of hyperbole. Writing a precedence-climbing SQL parser should take a few days. I know because I've done it. I don't know where you're getting "months of work" - mine ended up being like 600 line

Sorry, but unless you're a physicist, why would you expect to be able to know the significance of the paper? If you walked away misunderstanding the implications, then I gotta ask - assuming you're in software - are you careful to

That's not at all what's going on here. EFT is a limit of a more fundamental theory which is already known. Orbital mechanics were a limit of a more fundamental theory that was NOT known at the time.

by t8sr 3y ago
Thanks for the arxiv link. I think you're reacting to things the paper doesn't say - they never claim any new physics. EFT is a simpler model than what you'd derive from QCD and it makes sense it'll be wrong in some limi

You just read what you want to read, friend. I don’t particularly dislike Python, in fact I wrote about 50k lines of it a few years ago. My claim is that the big names don’t really use Python outside of data pipelines. Where I’ve worked (in

Very much so, insofar as code written a few years ago probably doesn’t work anymore. Some of that comes down to libraries not being careful about versioning, but a lot of it is the language itself making seemingly random changes in directio
