Trivial benchmarks where all of the significant data structures and networking are done in C++ and the tiny amount of Javascript is just passing some strings around. I guess it's "…

This is basically where I am at. Most libraries and applications are trivially typed even in languages with relatively poor type systems like Go and Java. The necessity, or even be…

For a trivial example, let's say I have some message type that has multiple variants with differing fields: enum Message { Action1(String, Option ), Action2(String), } Action1 and …

I hope Go will eventually get sum types but I hope they're better than Rust's where each variant is its own type.

So the maintainer now has to tutor this guy for god knows how long until he gets it right? All three issues brought up by kazinator are reasonable grounds for ignoring the patch. D…

A lot of these maintainers are already overworked and don't have time to tutor every single person that wants to put kernel contributor on their resume. A lot of people have this e…

You can't do the exact same thing in Go because Go doesn't have a way to define a sum type yet outside of generic constraints. The closest you can get is using an interface and a t…

These presentations look like something straight out of some dystopian corporate hellscape fiction.

r/nba and r/hockey are particularly interesting examples because the threads before the shutdown were overwhelmingly in favor of keeping the subs open and all the upvoted posts wer…

In Spring apps the same reflection caches are also often duplicated many times.

The best parts of the show were the original parts that focused on the Empire and Lee Pace did a great job as Brother Day. The show dropped off hard whenever it focused on the actu…

> Is your argument that most people are lazy Yes most adults are extremely lazy and undisciplined.

It's extremely common for them to discriminate against asian males as well. It was outside of a hiring context but I've had people in this sphere call me "basically white" multiple…

Because the moment you actually write any server or business logic in Python performance drops off a cliff and it doesn't differ significantly from any of the other Python web fram…

The article is wrong and doesn't even address the primary reason why git-lfs is slow in his case.

The entire post is embarrassing and makes me think that Google made the correct decision. Also, it seems that people that want to change the default behaviour can simply use the TC…

Getting dual displays "working" is pretty trivial. Getting those two both working at the same time with the correct resolutions, DPI and fractional scaling will probably be close t…
