Java is a simple language even if people build gigantic piles of abstractions in it. It doesn't have multiple inheritance, it only has like eight base types, only a few well-worn ways to control flow (while, do while, for, if, switch,

Yeah this is a minor gripe with Julia. It has type inference but it's risky to use.

Yeah the resources feature in Java https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/resource-files.html makes it easy to embed arbitrary data with your code (or in this case, your tests, which are usually compiled separately)

My guess is that their racism filter is too coarse and so it treats "jokes about imams" like "jokes about Black people" as opposed to "jokes about nuns". I find it hard to believe that OpenAI would tune their m

I have a similar example. ChatGpt will happily invent jokes about catholic priest, rabbis and buddhist monks... but not about imams. They clearly special cased muslims as humourless (very different from my own experience!)

C++ compiled to wasm is just java with extra steps.

The startup can't wait! How are you going to sell yourself as being a genius to VCs if you don't look like a 20 something!

They do and in fact it's relatively straightforward to show empirically on eg MNIST. The problem is that you need a much much larger network in the FCN case and thus need way more data and way more data augmentation to get a good resul

The parent specifically states that correct unsafe code is more expensive to produce though? I agree with the parent anyway. Most programming is relatively low stakes (at worst the user restarts the app or make a new shopping cart or sends

If you can reuse the test db then it's still not order dependent. If your test framework doesn't support reusing setups, you create some kind of function like getOrCreateDbConnection() that idempotently set up your test environmen

Next time there is a HN thread about monorepos I think I'll just posts link to this comment.

Another technique used with Java is setting the memory really high, run it for a while against mock data until it's warmed up and the compiler has JITted out all the allocations and then move to real data. If the mock data is good, you

Also mypy is super easy to use. You just run it on your repo root and it automatically checks everything. It's perfectly well-suited to CLI based dev workflows.

100%, even if the commit is much larger. Doing a git bisect when the commits are large is not as useful as when they are small because you still need to find the bug within the large commit. However doing a git bisect on a repo where not al

Wow I hadn't realized they all have a group chat together. That's wild!

Yeah I mean in so far that Go is basically Java-like (GC-ed, statically typed, has interfaces, simple language) it could be used there too. Go targets very much the same kind of problem as Java. C# too. I only have a passing knowledge of Go

Also ChatGPT is way way better in English than even other common European languages for which it sounds like poorly translated English. So it's also going to hit very differently outside the Anglosphere.

I don't think Rust is really suited to replace the million LOC java apps that are found everywhere in finance. (The C++ ones probably ought to be rewritten in Java also, IMO. Or C#.) The reason that such enormous software exists at ban

Jetbrains IDEs have pretty good emacs keymaps and very consistent interfaces so I find that they work very well with emacs. I'm switching between IDEA and emacs (and sometimes CLion) all day at work. With some configuration it feels qu

Well there is also the fact that the openjdk codebase is huge and so even though it is quite well written and documented fixing a bug in the jdk (and especially a bug in hotspot) isn't easy. Although tbh i have no idea how the quality

You are missing some of the best, most useful git commands: git diff git log git blame git bisect A major advantage of version control is being able to navigate history.

You should rebase instead of merging when pulling though otherwise you contaminate your branch with merges that mess up the git log. Alternatively you can squash the merges before pushing but this still requires rebasing.

Important to note however is that the reflog is local and isn't pushed. Sometimes people panic when things aren't working and once someone asked me to fix their branch, but then it turns out they had deleted the local repo because

You are right. I just had to go back and look at some OS8 screenshots to confirm and indeed they don't have save/apply anywhere you may not like it but this is what peak UX looks like https://guidebookgallery.org/s

That one wouldn't be confusing if people didn't attempt to save space by making it one button. The tape recorders, vcr and dvd players I've seen mostly have them on two different buttons: pause which stops the current recordi

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but they do design cars. Aren't tesla menus full of those kind of toggles?
