Perhaps they should join the Union. I'm sure they'd qualify after some changes.

The mistake that a lot of "technique x" aficiandos make seems to often be that the technique has to be 100% complete or it's completely worthless. In this case, there's a claim that python isn't actually REPL-based

Is there any non-horror piece of code where supporting this latter case would be useful?

Do these modern C-replacement languages like Hare and Zig have exactly the same security problems related to memory allocation, or do they have additional safeguards against them that C does not?

Yep, that's what I'm also looking for. I bought the Thinkpad E14 Gen3 not because it was the best I could afford but because it was the best Thinkpad with AMD chips in it. I'd happily chip in +1000 euros for a higher build qu

It's probably because everyone realized that a marketing person claiming that something is "fourth generation" doesn't actually mean anything in a technical sense. But also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&

If we're trying to figure out the total benefits that come from writing a book, we probably shouldn't dismiss how much writing a book compels one to improve in various ways.

I don't quite understand what you mean here. Do you have an example?

Nim is an odd language insofar that every time it's pitted against other languages, it performs brilliantly on nearly every level. Yet almost nobody uses it. Really weird juxtaposition.

This. PHP is PHP just like Javascript is Javascript. Their growth process was a bunch of people needing things and just implementing them one by one without a grand design. It kinda works, but it'll never be Good in a theoretical sense

There's a difference between putting on your own seatbelt and the car forcefully tying you into the chair every time you sit.

When I get off work, I want to think about silly computer problems as little as possible. Perhaps the same applies to security engineers.

And in the same way USSR didn't fight in the Vietnam war.

Think about how the Vietnam War went for USA. USSR was doing there almost exactly what USA (and the rest of their alliance) is doing now in Ukraine.

Having been bullied by some parts of the lower social classes half of my child life makes it all so much easier to handle. Having the lower social classes use their democratic rights to screw things up also helps. In contrast, the higher cl

One way would be to get a smart device that has extensive parental surveillance support, and use all of those features. At least Apple has fine support via its Screen Time and Family features. Check what your kid does online and how much th

Yeah, the other, possibly worse, problem is that experienced common lisp programmers think that LOOP is ok ;)

The fact that I can successfully plug in a USB-C cable on the first try as opposed to the 3-7th time is a strict improvement. Perhaps I've been lucky, but I've only had good experience with external monitors et al.

Them leaving would be vastly preferred to them dying, but as it seems we cannot have that, this is a fine start.

Well that's kinda good. We in the west have been having a "lack of software engineers" -problem for a decade or two now. Or perhaps it was a "lack of cheap software engineers" -problem. I hope they won't be cra
