I'd say this answer is the most succinct and accurate here.

To quote someone smarter than me. "100% pure functions are the way to go where possible" You don't need to throw out OO to introduce some functional ideas that help improve the correctness and make it easier to maintain. Bad

Not exactly. I wasn't just talking about multi threaded systems but multi machine systems too. Where there is no shared memory. If you need to serialize your data to send out to a cluster for processing you've already constrained

Because side effects cause bugs and make code harder to reason about. The ways we avoid side effects can be inefficient. Tools such as immutable data types. In the past it wasn't really worth the performance trade off. Now days we&#x27

It feels like the world is ending when you break up with someone so significant. Everything seems worse. I've heard many stories where the grind of a PHD breaks people.That stress must make this harder. You're probably doing way b

I think North Korea is doing a good job of limiting growth. Not as a determined goal of their communism but as a result of their corruption, totalitarian control and incompetence. Still credit where credit is due. They are not growing as fa

I wouldn't leave out birth control technology either. That has had a massive impact on population growth.

Off topic but have you noticed a trend in modern movies that it's harder to hear dialogue? I find the music and background noise is so loud in modern movies that I struggle to hear some of the characters talk. I thought I was just gett

I'm a bit green when it comes to db back ups. Do you have anything I can read on this approach it sounds really promising but I don't think I understand it?

Okay, in that case not a good option. Good luck, that sounds like a very useful tool you're building.

If she did allow people to suffer with that purpose then yes I agree. It's my understanding that she didn't do that but did view the effects of suffering as a blessing in the same way that the above quote suggests.

by xupybd 4y ago
I've heard much of that but I tend to disagree. I think her take on life and suffering was similar to others that have extreme hardship. Like this quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn about his time in the Gulag It was granted to me to ca

Would Excel interop work? It's not in the same process and horribly inefficient but will always result in Excel compatible spreadsheets. https://www.chriswirz.com/software/excel-cpp-2019

I often wonder about products like this. It seems to me that access solved many of these problems years ago then just faded away. I don't know why, I don't know why these are better either. Other than being collaborative and in th

How on earth are you handling HN front page traffic if you spin up a template copy per session? That is impressive.

Does Nim really have no competition in the meta programming space? I assumed Haskell would do well there?

Very nice. Elmish is such a nice way to build front ends. I'm surprised MVU is not more common.

That's a totally different scenario. Imagine it's all Linux no back up required and the database server has lots of capacity. The lone developer can do it in half a day. No extra cost. But yes there exist situations where that is

Sure that makes a lot of sense, I'm sorry for my bad assumptions, but that drives my point home even more. The problem is not related directly to your performance on the hardware. It's an additional cost from the business environm

This is exactly the point. Each bubble has different goals. For example: The finance industry heavily uses Excel the inefficiencies this brings to performance are huge. However, the ability to get a domain expert to maintain the 'code
