I haven’t watched it, but I have heard about it. In contrast to the simplicity of a programming language in the happy path, I’m talking more about simplicity in the case where things break. For example, Python doesn’t implement tail call op

My impression of Python is that it's a Fisher Price Little Tikes coupe with a few GE90 jet turbine hardpoints mounted on it. It's a very simple language. Literally when things get made to be complex Guido says do it the simple way

I got that feeling when I first started off working, it goes away once you see how the sausage gets made. I think this is a good blog post describing the scale of the problem: https://danluu.com/sounds-easy/

The loan is the currency. People accept the loan as a medium of exchange. Everybody transacts in loans (paper with promises of value), which then becomes identical to money. The loan is only loosely coupled to the gold backing, because of e

Hi aaron_m04, I have posted a correction to the post and given you credit. Please let me know if I have made any more mistakes, I don't want to mislead any more readers. Thanks very much for your time!

Does the FAA require civilian commercial airliners to have some sort of catch-all (e.g. positive stability if you kill all power and lower a ram-air turbine and assuming your flaps aren't jammed)? I don't know if that would have s

I think this is an interesting observation. I am curious to know, what would you say an ideal net income pre-IPO for a tech company aiming for profitability should be? I have no idea. I thought it might be enough to simply prove profitabili

That's not an acceptable response. Your comment that immigrants coming to the U.S. are nationalists representing their ethnic homelands and operate with an anti-American bias was highly inflammatory. Many immigrants (including me) come

The cost to switching is low until you lose an enterprise sale because your video teleconferencing software sucks.

I don't work in robotics, but from my electrical engineering degree, I could hazard a guess: - Software becomes much harder if you have to interface with hardware. You mess up software, you edit and then recompile/rerun. You mess

I believe Sergey Brin came to the U.S. from the Soviet Union and was the driving force behind Google pulling out of China around the early 2010s (except for Hong Kong). https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google&#x2F

I mean for things like CDs and savings accounts, JPM Coin is irrelevant. I'm concerned more if JPM decides to use JPM Coin for higher-risk activities. What happens if they decide they would treat a supply of JPM Coin as a supply of USD

by yingw787 8y ago
I mean I can't, but JPM might be able to. JPM's an organization with enough significance to the financial system that they (IMHO) could conceivably make people accept one truth that 1 JPM coin == 1 USD. And it is. Until it isn&#x2

I think lending environments are temporary. The current environment has a glut of reserves, but I don't think there's anything systemic about that. Wouldn't this be the best time for JPM to release a new currency, so that it

Bitcoin reminds me a lot of monetarism, where the thinking goes to increase the money supply at the same rate as that of productivity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monetarism I'm not a huge believer in monetarism

Do people do that in practice? I would think since async/await does not reference any particular thread that it is always off of main thread.

I agree that release notes and credits are really important. My prior company's product manager made these herself for every release, and while other parts of the company weren't great, I (and others) really liked getting the reco

I really like this! I like the notion of automatically generated documentation, because it's always in line with what the source code is doing (or should be). Thanks for making this!
