If the type system already trivially enforces your custom invariants, aren't the types defined by your classes already in it?

I suspect "OOP" is teached like that most of the time. Or more precisely, this is teached as being OOP (as a fundamental distinguishing point from "procedural", most often -- ironically, the opposition "OOP&quot

On my part I don't consider all inequalities to be fundamentally reducible to a single dimension, so the primary reason I would consider that "inequality is not intrinsically bad" is not so much that it can be "great mot

I agree. 5 years ago Intel put Skylake out. This was what they had, and it was great; it was years ahead the competition. They did not have anything else secret even better and ready to go out, because that makes absolutely no sense: if you

And if one insists on comparing, Intel 10nm is kind of TSMC 7nm. However Intel only manages to make a few of their laptop parts with their 10nm, and with not great frequencies IIRC. So they are behind now.

This is not an essay, this is a bunch of anecdotes. So projects that worked reasonably well and developed very fast, or even just somehow fast, are presented. Everybody agrees that's good and a success and better than if they were done

Yep, Windows FS is very slow. If you have an antivirus it is extremely slow, but even if you don't, it is still very slow. This is not really an issue of msys2 or WSL, this is an issue of Windows itself.

The Hyper-V hypervisor is obviously running. I don't remember the corresponding name in the optional components. The complete Hyper-V suit you use to manually create and run VM does not need to be installed by default, but that's

System/370 ended in the eighties I think? Maybe it is reasonable to be 7 times faster than the fastest System/370.

I'm not sure Ballmer would not have allowed that. Linux in WSL under Windows is not a threat to Windows; it's absence was beginning to be a threat, as a generation (both of people and technologies) was Linux native and needed (or

The whole emulation scene (well at least a very good part of it) is full of drama. That's fascinating; they somehow have the time for that after writing state of the art whole system highly optimized emulators, sometimes inventing new

I don't think so. They can use a decentralized approach, the Google/Apple APIs, and still call it the NHS app. They can even put additional random opt-in features in their app if they really want to, why could they not? Plus it wo

I certainly prefer the Apple/Google/DP-3T approaches but they are certainly not "zero-knowledge". They are not even strictly "less-knowledge" than PEPP-PT if you trust the central server (but arguably not in

Depends from who you want to be kept private. I've a hard time describing PEPP-PT "privacy preserving" the same way as DP-3T, especially as far as the central server is concerned and the blind trust I must put in it, but I ad

Maybe the slowness is more due to poor high level design for the problem (& if you want an highly optimized result)? E.g. AoS everywhere instead of SoA if needed. I don't know I have not checked the source code, but it is a possibi

Modern processors are so complex that changes sometimes have paradoxical consequences, simply in a kind of chaotic way. That seems to be the case in what you describe. Those are typically not robust effects though, and changing seemingly co

Yeah but you should also then understand what will yield real results, and >>1 instead of /2 has become useless to write manually a long time ago, whereas e.g. continuous memory is more important than ever. You will not optimize

There are insanely high amount of speculation in there. To my knowledge no significant amount of non droplet or hand-to-face contamination as been demonstrated out of medical contexts where aerosolization is more a problem, because of tec

TLDR: it is the same, like it should. We are in 2020. Don't shift by 1 instead of /2 if you mean to /2.

OTOH VS Code on a semi-old Debian 9 runs perfectly, from a regular .deb package and repository.

It is worse than that. A significant chunk of programmers decided that for loops are evil, even for loops with a 3 lines body, and that imperative programming languages should in general become functional, because their imperative nature is
