Rust isn't alone though - Swift's `enum`s are essentially the same as Rust's enums.

I look at some of the channels I've subscribed to on YouTube - I have absolutely no idea if any of them have a personal website, since I have never had a reason to check. I don't think I'm alone in this regard.

Do you know this to be true, or is this just conjecture?

Never thought I'd see anything more concise than Python, but here's the Kotlin version: data class Candidate(val x: Int, val y: Int) fun List<Candidate>.filterCandidates(knows: Boolean, aggBy: (Candidate) -> In

I mostly second this. I use MyGov mainly for taxes, and it is fine in that regard. To be honest, my interactions with the Australian government websites + apps has mostly been positive. There are some truly horrendous websites from other na

Something that comes to mind is that Github, as part of a "papercuts" initiative to fix small things, added an arrow that points from the "theirs" branch to the "our" branch in pull requests. That was such a hu

That's a very good question. I know the last time I owned a laptop with a CD or even a DVD drive was more than a decade ago (!)

Padding videos to 10 minutes is not done to satisfy The Algorithm, but rather it was the minimum video length required by YouTube to enable mid-roll ads. YouTube has since shortened the minimum video length to 8 minutes.

I was going to post something similar, but you phrased it better than I could.

Frontend folks have an excuse. They cannot avoid using JavaScript, since they're limited by what browsers support. Backend developers chose to write mountains of yaml

Best part is you haven't introduced new constructs or DSLs or XML configuration. It's just plain old Python functions calling other functions.

Aren't app store purchases easily tracked, on both the buyer and the merchant side? Which would make any money laundering attempt there easier to prosecute?

If you absolutely positively need to use Java, usually because of talent reasons, Spring is one of the easiest ways to get a web service up quickly.

I used to, but I'm trying not to anymore. I've seen enough instances where the top comment was either irrelevant or outright wrong about the article in question.

This sounds reasonable to me? In exchange for telemetry data, you get to use this product without paying a single cent.

I would love to know if there's studies out there that demonstrates any relationship between programming languages and business metrics. The closest I found was a blog post [0] that implies that Ruby and Python were the most prominent

An effects system would solve the same problem that most dependency injection does. Having it at the language level gives you some benefits, chief of which is that you're writing Kotlin code, and not either some bespoke DSL, or worse

Reading the context receiver change, did Kotlin just casually implement an effects system in a minor version release??

It might be true where you are, but that's not strictly correct everywhere. Here in Australia, if a company wanted to fire an employee, the employee has a chance to sue on an "unfair dismissal" grounds. One of the ways a comp

I am partial to the argument that Fallout: New Vegas is close to the perfect open-world game out there. It gets the open-world aspects right. All of the world is accessible from the start, the only limitations being your ability to tackle s
