Language design goes hand in hand with compiler's design. No wonder we have so many languages being born every year. Different mix of ideas being tried in each of them or forgotten lessons being rediscovered. Just taking a look at what

It's a good article. Indeed, compiling a programming language is such a complex job that is frankly quickly dismissed and taken for granted. My view is that learning and writing a simple compiler will make most of developers on notch b

I don't think these issues have anything to do with AI but 100% with humans. AI is used everywhere where money is to be made. Let's take ads. Why do we allow ads to happen all over the place (TV, radio, internet, magazines)? Becau

I'd love to use F# in production on a Linux/Mac OS environment. I find the tooling to be problematic and quite hacky on these platforms. In the same time the library ecosystem around manipulating PDF/Word/XLSX documents,

Google App Engine is rubbish compared to most of other PaaS or SaaS providers. Rubbish because of the unreliable infrastructure (instances that get quickly out of sync), slow reads and writes, memory footprint your instances are allowed to

I'm happy to see what happens in China because hopes are that this is a worst case bound for what is going to happen in UK when secure connections will become outlawed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encryption_ban_

The time for offline was bazillion years ago. They just try to convince us they are innovating / incubating with their billion of dollars?

Coding is not a spectator sport. Just write code. C# is powered by an amazing CLR. .NET Framework has very comprehensive and highly optimised libraries. For most of the simple tasks you don't need any external libraries. You don&#x27

All algorithms are interesting depending on the problem you are trying to solve. I'd really love to have a C implementation of distributed SVD computation for large matrices.

Why would someone do that? To what end? Why isn't anyone re-writing Redis in assembler to have it kick ass like pros? Can you write Windows in rust?

This article doesn't get the point. It's old, doesn't change, conservative and outdated? Stop using it. The big problem is that TPB was taken offline not because it was buggy but because helped people copyrighted content.

I like the fact that it frames the term "innovative" in a space where maybe very few expect it. My first intuition was toward some fancy tech or smart materials. I was surprised to find out innovative for them means tackling munda

This is a big thing. Mastercard is a global company. In Nigeria, a country that has nothing to loose and some small advantages to gain this may seem like a no brainer. However, if this new tech proves itself reliable enough I expect it to b

The ideas exposed in the article aren't new. Now we just use all these hipsterish technologies that we hope to magically solve our problems by just sticking one's output into another's input. If we think about what happens in
