True. I agree it could be better if omitting the check looked like the exception and not the other way around. You could also argue that encoding non-presence on the type is more powerful/elegant/whatever than multiple return valu

I do not think free finite element libraries are representative of commercial software. They usually include a mix of different languages, and that includes lots of Fortran, which is used both in the core (in solvers and linear algebra libr

He would have found the problem in Go too if he was using the comma-ok form: n1_idx, ok1 := g.nodeIdx[n1] n2_idx, ok2 := g.nodeIdx[n2] if !ok1 || !ok2 { When you do not use the comma-ok form, you are specifically asking the

I do not know if you have noticed but, some pages later, you can see that the tool to drill these holes will also be available. Very convenient, indeed.

You are not going to learn C with one book. K&R is one you should know, but it is not everything you will need. I think it still is a nice book for beginners, but not the most pragmatic option. You may prefer to start with something m

Fair enough. Large memory is needed for some developers and the 16GB option should be there. But for many, many developers, a few GB should be more than enough.

16GB RAM is not a requirement for everybody.

He should compare the specs too. I can learn JSON in less than 2 minutes. I cannot say the same about YAML.

Because there are only a few of them. If every car in Amsterdam was US sized, it would be really difficult to move around. Even if only all the delivery trucks were US sized, it would already be a huge mess.

The main reason Fortran is so extensively used today is not because of the merits of its new features but the incredible amount of (intrinsically complicated, but even more because it is highly optimized) legacy code. I guess that most of t

In my personal view, I find terribly arrogant to find disappointing how far Brian Kernighan has got. Even only what he has done between C and Go is more than most successful careers.

It is explained in the design document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P3BLR31VA8cvLJLfMibSuTdw... Basically, you start from the last C version, and every version is supposed to be able to compile the next on

I think that it is not that Americans are worse drivers, but bad drivers have more chances of having a car in America. In other places you have more alternatives, and bad drivers usually prefer these other alternatives. In the US, you must

"our paper shows that the main empirical argument against classical models of reality is unsound.". That's quite an affirmation!

I wonder how this compares to venti. Being able to mount with FUSE can be an interesting feature, specially if it can work well even over the network (maybe with some kind of cache, like fossil).

I don't really see the advantage of displaying images. In your screenshot, we see five typical examples: the black head, the poster in the wall, the unknown face, the baby, and the picture with too many effects. How are these pictures

You've done a great job capturing the exquisite design of the paper edition. When I saw the title I was expecting jpg scans of the equations, or something worse, and I was surprised of finding something Tufte would be proud of. Thank y

Well, conceptually it means you limit how much you can extend the length of the slice inside the array, not that the array has a different length. For example, we have: full := []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} half1 := full[:3] /&#x2
