They're named after Kripke for inventing them when he was in highschool. The kind of stuff that makes you feel woefully intellectually inadequate :-).

If you've got 10^6 LoC of a product that will be developed and maintained for 10+ more years then you can slowly replace it with this.

It's not like China forced the west to dismantle its industrial base. The west was happy to do it! And now we're living in a globalized world, where the worker has won less than their masters.

On some micros Graal beats C2, on some others it doesn't. It's not a silver bullet. GraalVM is regular OpenJDK with the compiler switched out, AFAIK.

You know, you can just eat lentils, beans, peas, rice, wheat, fresh vegetables, olive oil, and so on? Like, right now. It's very affordable, and you don't need to shop from Amazon or install an app for it. Your comment is such a h

Five bucks? 1kg of beans in Sweden is like 3 bucks.

I suspect that it depends on the age of the goat and the amount of fat (if goat is similar to mutton). Older and more fat => more 'distinguished' taste.

It's not like those hundreds of bytecode ops aren't slow as molasses too, for similar reasons.

Poor quality products are typically cheap. Such a tax will hurt poor people, those who most of all need lower priced products. Poor people will need support in buying high quality products.

Why isn't the reduction in quantity of apps on the app stores indicative of less shovelware that was only able to bring cash in because of user tracking? Why do we want the kind of innovation which GDPR forbids?

These were all taught at my uni, along with a course that paired student teams up with companies to develop for them. It's still not what's most important at uni, imho. You have 5 years at uni, many decades at your job.

My uni has an on-prem installation of Github and this is where you upload and collaborate on your solutions. This isn't course specific, this is just what you do.

Racket is slow which impacts the entire dev cycle, has even less use of ad-hoc polymorphism than CL (very annoying to have to use the monomorphic functions all the time), editor support isn't great (SLIME still contends well here, the

Sometimes I get stuck in loops of thought about "what I need to do", such as "I need to buy X, pick up Y, return Z". Writing this list down breaks the loop. I think that counts as mind chatter :-).

His point is poorly expressed in that case. Let's look at the quote again. >Contrast this with Emacs and Vim. They just don’t have proper completion as an editor’s extension point. Rather, they expose low-level cursor and screen man

I want to further bang about on this: This is a plain false statement. Emacs's completion-at-point was (C-h C-f) introduced at 23.2, in May of 2010. company-mode has commits going back to 2009.

> Don't use a pointer - it's bad for performance. That means you must have Optional[*sync.Mutex]. Then what's the point?

Yeah, any changes to the kernel would obviously also get GPL:d :).

Axis cameras aren't open source, but they're just Linux running systemd and Axis (or other) software. You can ssh into them, write your own apps, etc. They're not particularly locked down. They support ONVIF and VAPIX, which

Rust has macros and an expensive type system though, and compilation is getting faster.

Or just write your own operational semantics and grammar in Racket's Redex :). Lots of ways to Rome.

I'm trying to solve this for fun, but I'm stuck! I've got a recursive definition that solves the problem by building a result string. I think it's a dynamic programming problem, but right now I can't see the shared
