Godbolt.org Compiler Explorer works like this. Your code snippets are stored in the URL you share, so none of your code has to be persisted on the server.

I think the Java Language Specification is very readable (and up-to-date and without useless narrative glue that's in regular books).

<speculation> Android is going the way of Google Reader. Kotlin is just to keep developers happy in the meantime before explicit deprecation. Fuchsia + Flutter is the new platform. Android Runtime will be emulated to allow backward co

WASM just makes it easier to distribute obfuscated code, because it is obfuscated by default. Pre-WASM JS is capable of just as much obfuscation. Minified Facebook or Google trackers were never libre or meant to be easily reversed. Web apps

If the only reason to not use Chrome is Google, then you are in luck because Chromium is open source software with a permissive license. There are several libre forks of it, the best-maintained one being Brave. Nightly builds of plain Chr

It's not the end of JavaScript. It's the end of every language that "compiles to" JavaScript.

Funny how this GNOME article left out KDE. It feels more integrated than Windows. For example, music pauses when I get a phone call using KDEConnect. There's also a developer SDK (including abstractions for Linux libraries or freedeskt

You don't need to apologize for what you get paid to do. Barely anyone gets to work with the software they would use in their free time. That managers let you use some language does justify learning it, but it doesn't make that la

This would be true in a purely deflationary economy with a medieval currency like physical gold (no paper notes on gold either). Saving would be rewarded and investment could typically only be profitable at someone else's expense. For

Exactly. I'm not about to defend rent-seeking billionaires, but I trust them more than government--the entity which literally kills millions of people. I'd rather economic mass went into making Lambos and penthouses for billionair

uBlock Origin and uMatrix can give you the AMP experience without AMP, but the vast majority of users won't use them. I see the need for AMP but it just enables these bad corporate websites, as if CNN/FOX/Quora etc. can'

This was much more about Java than Lisp. It was just a really out-of-the-way way of writing Java. Clojure almost made me hate Lisp because of all the leaning on Java that's done as shown perfectly in this post. Actual Lisp is a lot mor

I wonder what percentage of bugs in general are from people not understanding how floating points work. I think property based testing (QuickCheck) should be used whenever floats are involved. Nobody ever seems to get them right.

I find craigslist's fast loading pages to be problematic. I think their website would be improved by rewriting it entirely in JavaScript, transpiling the JavaScript to JavaScript, requiring the JavaScript to render, re-implementing the

Yes, the parent approach is the same thing but with a decimal point added for convenience. The main thing is that the scale is fixed; it is effectively an integer count of 1s of the least significant index. It is impossible to truncate valu

There is a slight difference where it forces decision-making about rounding at every step. Most importantly, it makes errors that print money (or burn money) impossible states. I'm aware of BigRational libraries or more clever currency

Currency in banking is handled with bigints. Not rationals, just bigints of the smallest unit (i.e., 1 cent). This forces you to order operations so that divisions are done last or not at all.

Syntax only matters to people who don't know the syntax. I used to think it was awful before learning Rust, but very quickly the syntax just fades into the background because syntax is patterned and repetitive by definition. There&#x27
