How far does this scale? What are the binary sizes of a 100k loc app in Rust vs Nim?

To nitpick your nitpick, Common Lisp has one of the strongest object oriented abstractions around (The MOP). It would be quite fun to see how far you could abuse the metaobject protocol to implement some of these..

It persists your session, so if you get disconnected you can just log in again and 'tmux attach' to resume from where you left off. Any long running commands will still be running.

Yes, that's a great way of thinking about it!

Ok, it's a bit of an exaggeration and obviously depends a lot on what your definition of premature is. I guess the statement is actually a tautology, by definition premature means too soon. I just see people who think that any optimisa

I've seen so many projects where the developers have taken this to heart way too much. The problem is they use it as an excuse to give up after stage 2 thinking stage 3 can come along when it actually becomes a problem. The thing is th

Out of curiosity, how would a graph database help when booking a room? I would have thought a simple table: create table room_booking { roomid, booking_started, booking_ended } and some simple sql to check if

What I am finding in my road to eating less meat is that vegetarian food seems to take a lot longer to prepare. I can knock up a steak with mushrooms and brocolli in about 10 minutes. I am finding to create something just as satisfying that

This is my favorite plant. It's really easy to propagate, just pull it out of the pot, split in two and repot in separate containers. It really tells you when it needs watering, so as long as you pay attention it is impossible to kill.

It looks like there is something wrong with the 'Microsoft YaHei' font. Removing that from the font-family fixes the huge space.

In my opinion, that race has been won. Ocaml, or it's cousin ReasonMl are well worth looking into. Compile to JS with Bucklescript. Compelling frameworks are Bucklescript-Tea for an Elm like experience or Reason-React as a layer over R

I'm right there with you. I am sooo glad it is just my beard and not the hair on my head. My beard I can keep short so it doesn't become much of a problem, although occassionally I am a bit sad that I will never attain that true l

I guess the price slumped faster than the exchange could liquidate his position. It makes you wonder what an exchange was thinking letting someone build up a $0.5 billion position on margin.. Surely that's just very poor risk managemen

That's the thing with a vpn - it is just a single component of a fully setup network. The vpn documentation generally just covers how to setup the vpn connection. The routing and rest of the network setup, as per the questions you are

Common Lisp Recipes by Edi Weitz is the most recent 'bible'. Another excellent book.

Also Lisp in a Box is no longer available. Nevertheless this book is always on my desk. I refer to it almost on a weekly basis.
