You probably know that, but there is smartparens mode which does similar magic to non-lisp languages: https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens

It is written in the linked README, but I will state it here. Rust checks integer overflows at runtime (or not at all, if building for maximum speed). It is safer than not checking at all. But costs performance and can lead to (predictable)

Yep, you don't, as long as you want to return a local object. I know that copy elision for returns is not a permitted optimization anymory but a mandatory behavior (since C++11?). And it is a common pitfall to use unnecessary std::move
34.
by the-lazy-guy 4y ago
std::move is not only about performance. It is about being able to disallow destructive copies of certain types. I.e. unique_ptr can not be copied, and auto_ptr can. Can you write perfectly functioning code without these features? Sure! You

I think we are in the dead-end in this discussion. Thanks for your time.

ML and Haskell are languages with garbage collection. In case of Haskell it is also pure and lazy which makes it a huge PITA to use for any non-trivial non-hierarchical datastructures. You can look at Okasaki's book to see what level o

by the-lazy-guy 4y ago
I think you didn't get the point. If you represent references between objects as integers, you are back to having no help from compiler in case you keep a reference (index) longer than the object exists in a sensible state. This works

Thanks for the excursion into data oriented design. Now think about the fact that API provided by browser to JS is actually stateful. And you have to make a lot of things mutable. That is an external constraint that a lot of things in the b

You could do something like primitive inline cache. Store "version" of the globals in another variable. Each time globals are modified - bump the version. For each call-site and/or keep what the global name is resolved to +

1. Fair point. I did think about that later. Anyway, the only veto power the "golden share" has, is about transfer of ownership. 2. You are talking abut PIF board. I am talking about Yandex board. 2 of 12 Yandex board members are

Yandex did have a Dutch datacenter when it planned the expansion in Turkey (and other countries later). That expansion didn't work out and that datacenter was closed. Taking that aside, I wouldn't say that Yandex is incorporated i

1. Do you have examples when the "golden share" rights were excercised? Or which company decisions were actually impacted by it? "veto right" != "control". Othrwise we could say that Russia controls UN security

I can't speak for other companies mentioned (for most of them Russian government is the biggest shareholder, so I think you are right), but Yandex is not and has never been controlled by people close to Putin. I would like to see examp

I think maintaining a directory of binary files and using it at runtime is a lot better in the long run. Either through a separate build step which embeds them into the test binary. Or via proper env setup where tests actually know how to f

Thanks for the explanation. English is not my native language and I read the comment as if the commenter had fundamental disagreements with the author of the PR but had to agree with him on this particular point about license terms.

by the-lazy-guy 5y ago
How exactly do you fundamentally disagree with the author of the PR? He literally did no statements beyond saying that this is not an Apache License anymore.

That is one interpretation. Another interpretation is that in pursuing academic career requires a certain attitude towards studying which people growing in a family of academics are a lot more likely to have. In STEM it makes a lot more sen
