Like 80% of the issue go away if you buy a machine with linux preinstalled. All the hardware issues are solved, all things just work. And there choice too: Dell, tuxedo, system76 and others I have bought like 4 Dell xps 13 developer edition

Everything in almost every ecosystem is better than it was 20 yrs ago. Even Common lisp is evolving... even c++ is almost, aaaaalmost has a package manager :-)

And what are the better modern alternatives to hdfs among distributed file systems?

How about "Kubernetes as a complexity generator"? :-)

Not true, lexical vars are much faster in emacs.

I don't think a work "failing" is relevant here. The reality is that AMD is still well behind Intel in many, many things. Projects fail. It's expected. The only way to have no failing projects is not to create experiment

You're talking about C, right? :-)

I's nice that the article mentions Codd and his relational model of data but what it doesn't mention is how badly SQL parrots relational algebra . The language is inspired by the idea ("based on a real story"(c)), yes,

None catch on? Depends on how you define "programmable". Lisps are still here (think Clojure). Rust has macros. New-style C++ is mostly about metaprogramming.

Structured concurrency with OpenMP can be very convenient at times... :-)

That's an interesting way to put it. :-D I believe we could do that to a lot of other compilers, say, lcc (30k) with its multiple backends and get something like 10-20k. Anyways, what I was trying to say is that "tiny" in &qu
617.
by vkazanov 7y ago
that's correct. But even if you add qbe you only get 12k more, or about 20k, not 70k.

by vkazanov 7y ago
What I mean is what I said :-) 70k is not tiny. And one cannot just throw away a backend and say that it's not part of the compiler. Compare it with a few others: 8cc/9cc - 10K LOC cproc - 7K LOC lcc - 30K LOC

it not tiny anymore :-)

"Formal education in CS" is not the same as, say, a degree related to programming languages or compilers.

...and spreading unverifyible rumours and believable misinformation also is (the nature of intelligence community reporting). Almost by definition. Can't replicate or check info? Then there's no information to speak about in the f

Vladimir Nabokov was a native speaker in both languages. he grew up with English-speaking nurses, governesses, etc aroun him... He also spoke French fluently, as all Russian nobility did. Additional fact: he learned to read in English first

Prior to the ANSI standard there were many C compilers on different machines with different architectures. Some compilers included support for architecture-specific things, like segmented memory, etc. Others allowed to do cross-function got

Not really. :-) ANSI C is very different to the whole pre-ANSI zoo of C-like languages. Most of the code I saw from that age would never compile on modern post-ANSI compilers.

Syntax-wise Ocaml is waaaay weirder than Haskell. In fact, Haskell is a pretty typical representative of the whole ML language family, with StandardML being the cleanest of them all.

Yes, pls, go on and tell us how it's a default package management tool for C/C++... It is a step forward, sure, but it's a far cry from Python's pip or Rust's Cargo or even Dlang's dub.

the metaprogramming post is very, very good, btw, thank you

Can't say anything about shaders but I do know a thing or two about database queries: 1. Queries are often repeated, i.e. most of backend DBs get the same requests over and over again. Even a slow jit compiler is fine here as things ju

Some things should not require an IDE? Powershell is a shell so it should be easy to type, no?

The thing is that this is exactly my company's scale, and hdfs is perfectly fine here. :-) And I am curious about possible alternatives: open source, about 100-200 machines, with good support for analytics and SQlish systems.
