Well, she wasn't illegally entering the United States, so that's sort of moot.

I love the idea behind Framework, but my admittedly old one is nowhere near comparable to a MacBook. It's really unpleasant to use, feels cheap, and performance/battery life are shockingly poor on Kubuntu. It's not a patch on

Since you need to use a `call` statement to invoke a function, is it possible to invoke a function inside of a function call? I.e. can you write `call f(g(x))` or `call f(call g(x))` or something like that?

The tl;dr (though you should read!) of the "oversight" is that there's a constant used to adjust the sun's position that's seemingly based on latitude; in the first Shenmue, it's set to 22, and in Shenmue II -

"Wow"? Is it really necessary to give this guy a hard time for being unable to afford the kind of computers you had in 1992? Anyway, there's no such thing as a "DX3". And the first 100MHz 486 (the DX4) came out in M

Watcom also had a profiler back then.

This is an interesting post in its way, but I hate how it's presented. The subject doesn't really call for this impersonation of academic rigor, since it's fundamentally an unscientific, subjective exercise - "How long d

That's fair - although it's a really great video! The section about 45m in ("The Myth of Richard Feynman) covers it in a hair under seven minutes. She notices that in the preface to "What Do You Care What Other People Th

They either need to lie about posting the job officially or lie about having a disability. Why do you think one lie is more reasonable than the other? In truth, I think getting an unscrupulous doctor to declare they all have ADHD or autism

Can you link to/post an example of how Svelte is tested that's different? In the Full Example linked, the only code that it makes sense to talk about being in the app itself is the code to render the component, and that does look

I feel like I must be misunderstanding you. React is certainly unit testable and developers do test it - just ask react-testing-library (10M weekly downloads). I'm not a Svelte dev, so I don't really follow the distinction you&#x2

A History of Violence is phenomenal. Cronenberg might be one of those filmmakers who actually benefitted from the structure of Hollywood - even as far as “gross” Cronenberg is concerned, The Fly is probably his apex (even if Videodrome is c

While those community management issues probably didn't help, I don't think Elm's failure to break out can be placed purely on their shoulders. The big reason why it - and all the other typed/functional compile to JS lan

The 8 and 16 bit home consoles did not use a frame buffer. The NES had 2KB of VRAM and an output resolution of 256x240 - even if you only had 1bpp it wouldn’t fit. These consoles - along with everything handheld up until the 3DS - create im

"Let's create a world where all TV and movies have the production values of Public Access" is a poor pitch. Even if you don't mind that, you have to understand that, politically, it's a non-starter.

The 68K is still a tiny bit awkward, with its 24-bit bus and alignment restrictions and middling support for indexing into arrays (no scale factor). The 68020 is about as close to C as an ISA can get - it’s extraordinarily pleasant.

Narrowing, as TypeScript calls it, isn't dependant typing - it's basically just a form of pattern-matching over a sum type.

That paper isn't showing real ML syntax itself; it's a mathematical presentation to demonstrate how the type system algorithm works. The actual original LCF/ML syntax would differ. I don't believe it used an actual lambd

(ETA: speaking strictly about anonymous functions; on rereading you might be talking about the absence of parens and commas for function application.) That's not ML syntax. Haskell got it from Miranda, I guess? In SML you use the `fn`

If anything the type system improves the run time speed, because the static analysis enables better code generation. But I think what OP meant was more about the "functional programming" side of things than the "HM-typed&quot

Yes and no. This is all spelled out in the post, but it's a little thorny. Dune is a rename of Jbuilder (2016). Jbuilder uses Jenga (2012) configuration files. > By 2016 we had had enough of this, and decided to make a simple cross-

Without getting into any specifics of it - I'm sure there's people with much more experience with these tools who can comment - I'll point out that neither buck nor bzl existed when JS decided to start building their own tool

Just to throw my anecdote in: I used to work at the mypy shop - our client code base was on the order of millions of lines of very thorny Python code. This was several years ago, but to the best of my recollection, even at that scale, myp

Likewise, the 6502 and Z80 had 16 address lines, but we never describe them as 16-bit.

It was pretty commonly accepted at the time that the 68000 was a "16-bit CPU" because of its ALU and data bus width, despite the 32-bit being clearly ISA. The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, for instance, is always referred to as a
