Just because it is possible to be very safe in theory and to some extent in practice doesn't mean that so will happen ifinitely from now on. People manage the data, people manage the access to the data and most importantly people ma

What's the definition of "hard to implement" if not complexity?

The fact that very few people know about them speaks for them being rare and intuitively not as big of a problem in the real world than people make it seem like.

The addiction to solving technical problems with creative and uncommon solutions is very problematic for me. What it means that when writing a <personal project here> for example, at some point instead of fixing the bug which makes

Blueberries consist mostly of water(proteins, carbs and fat make total of 7.5 grams per 100 grams, more or less rest is water), so they aren't very rich in calories(44 kcal per 100 grams). Of course all sorts of berries would rather be an s

Positives sound great, but how about negatives? Kind of like modern food is toxic and unhealthy, but hey it's cheap , there's lots of it and well... It doesn't taste that bad! Thanks but no thanks, I'll stick to lean meat, fish, seeds an

The problem is that when the base language has such limitatios and funky semantics, how should languages which target that be able to deal with that in 1) standard 2) predictable 3) efficient way? This is the reason CPU instruction set arch

How so? That's how programs were written back in the day(and some still are, see for example Demoscene), which arguably were somewhat simpler than what we have these days(but that's more because of vast libraries than languages, imo). The a

I don't understand why people say such silly feats of pseudo-"engineering" are somehow "OK" and acceptable. How have we arrived to this situation? I get that 1) agreeing upon a more sane bytecode-based language for the web 2) implementing i

Which ones, in which languages and in what kind of projects?

Weirdly many people loathe C++ for it's weird parts and complexity and all, but there's very little of C++ in that thread. I honestly expected people to run circles around templates and operator overloading.

If it is honestly true that you simply don't have enough time because there are too many tasks with higher priority no including just leisuring time on Facebook or HN, then to me it sounds like you are a person with outright great time ma

For this exact reason I closed all the other tabs, closed my phone and made my browser fullscreen. It went well, but about halfway I kept grabbing my phone just to force myself to put it away. I think I need help. :/

Demonstration of using very few bytes of data to generate art. The same snippet of code can (very probably) be written as a < 128 byte ELF binary on Linux.

This is a great example of the point the guy is making: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36BPql6Nl_U That's 128 bytes. You could encode that as a 43 pixel RGB888 image. That's less than 7x7 pixel icon! Now as Jare mentioned in another comm

You call out for rationality and claim that C# fixes C++'s problems? A language which requires a heavy runtime, really?

No. :) I tried to parodize a bit but I guess it wasn't very succesful.

When will we be in a world when we don't have to deal with assembly language at all? When can we just get the job done without having to understand or know any of the things which go down there? Because that stuff pisses me off. Bits? Bytes

Or Ruby. Or C. Or Scala. Or Haskell. Or JavaScript. Or Go. You get the point I hope.
