Zig's verbosity goes hand in hand with a strong type system and a closeness to the hardware. You don't get any such benefits from Go's verbosity.

Technically speaking, Slack's markup language is mrkdwn.

That's all the more reason to run at a positive margin though - why shovel money into taking a loss on inference when you need to spend money on R&D?

Teams and Slack as well, though they use an odd variant markdown (where single asterisk indicates bold instead of italics).

There are two possibilities. 1) There isn't consensus that improved syntax for error handling is needed in the first place. If that is the case, they should just say so, instead of obfuscating by focusing on the number of proposals and

How is Go not a design-by-committee language? They don't have a single lead language developer or benevolent dictator, and as this blog demonstrates, they're very much driven by consensus.

You don't use gofmt?

I'd happily come up with criticisms of any specific proposal and bikeshed it, but any one of these proposals would be preferable to the status quo. I'd understand if they decided they needed more time to continue iterating on and

Yeah once you've been using it long enough for the Stockholm syndrome to set in, you come to terms with the hostile parts of the language.

No, the generated code is on par with LLVM -O0. It's slower than LLVM -O1, never mind LLVM -O3.

Depending on how reputable the hotel was, it's possible they were in on it and the guests weren't real.

I’m not familiar with depth vectors, but wouldn’t the breadth first traversal analogue of each entry specifying its depth (in a depth first format) be each entry specifying the number of immediate children it has?

Yeah I don't understand how something could be "completely offline" and still have health checks passing.

They could certainly have introduced things like AI-powered brushes or filters, and competing products from Adobe definitely do include AI features. As you say though, it could be good business sense. Adobe seems to be getting a lot of back

You can have whatever dislike of Apple products and their walled garden that you like (I certainly don’t own an iPad myself), but at the end of the day Procreate is one of the most popular digital art apps and many artists perceive generati

For the program to be guaranteed to finish in theory, all that is required is that a valid proof exists. You don't have to pick a length in advance - the program just has to keep trying proofs of progressively longer lengths.

The complaint is that Hillel is providing an intuitive explanation but that intuition is clearly faulty, as demonstrated by two of the examples he gave. P.S., you can run that proof finding algorithm (iterate through every candidate proof o

Yes, the article is clearly confused about the concepts, given its mention of bcrypt cracking and chess engines.

"This to me is a strong "intuitive" argument for why the halting problem is undecidable: a halt detector can be trivially repurposed as a program optimizer / theorem-prover / bcrypt cracker / chess engine. It&#

Replied to that comment as well but per the article they're not droplets on a flat surface, but rather droplets connected to pores by surface tension.

Did you read the article? They're not droplets on a flat surface. They're droplets being held by surface tension to water inside pores.

The author thinks it’s perfectly valid choose a tool because it makes you happy, but doesn’t want to hear you trying to rationalize your choice based on technical merits using an objectively unsound argument.

Plenty of engineers prefer the appearance of code with heavy use of curly brackets. I thunk aesthetic tastes in the programming community are rather split and doubt there is a clear preference for Python style appearance over Zig style appe

I had a road map of the county, with an index mapping each name to squares on the map, and address intervals listed on each long road. It would take me a few minutes tops to prepare turn by turn directions to a new address. If I needed a di

Ehh, changes in privacy expectations have gone both ways. 40 years ago people also voluntarily listed their home address and telephone number in phone books that would be mailed to the whole community.

I've always hated code complexity scanners ever since I noticed them complaining about perfectly readable large functions. It's a lot more readable when you have the logic in one place, and you should only be trying to break it up
