Either they don't know better (the majority) or they use an alternative keyboard like GBoard

This reminds me of the concept I learned of recently: that metrics and simplified quantitative information has been digesting the world for a long time. Simplified metrics like 'po…

Zig plans to make LLVM optional. Rust has Cranelift. Go afaik has no dependencies on the C++ ecosystem including LLVM. Python and some other languages are built with C, not C++. So…

This reminds me of the "three tribes of programming: mathematical poetry, machine hackery, and business value". I think each SWE gets similar but different feelings of satisfaction…

Yes, and being incompatible with GPLv3-or-later may be done on purpose to push folks into a commercial license.

What about restricting yourself is not healthy? When I was a kid, I'd eat Trix cereal. I enjoyed it. Now - I find it sort of gross. It's too sweet. You can reach that same point wi…

My company recently switched to UHC for 2025. My regular monthly out of network claim was fine with Aetna. With UHC? After I filled out a long form with information in a PDF, they …

Yep, for expert driven projects, such as Go and C#, it is nearly always a case of "everything is a tradeoff". Another good article for comparing GC between Go and C# https://medium…

This seems to be endemic to civilization period. Nobody pays attention until the last one breaks, and by then nobody knows how it's done anymore. I'm reminded of the fleet of ships…

I pay $173 per year for JetBrain's 'All Products Pack'. Considering the salary I make as a software engineer, and the quality of the tools JetBrains provides, this is a great inves…

It's in their FAQ. > Why not develop Mojo in the open from the beginning? > Mojo is a big project and has several architectural differences from previous languages. We believe a ti…

Isn't that what this and other papers say - that AMOC is doomed to collapse, it's just a matter of time? I'm not sure I'd equate AMOC collapse to industrial civilization collapsing…

Not Just Bikes, a YouTuber made a video about increasing vehicle sizes in the US and why you may be interested in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN7mSXMruEo

I concur very much. HN is the only social media I use these days, after cutting reddit and others nearly a decade ago. I have had to set up blockers for the comments section, to li…

> or patch the runtime code A huge spike in CPU usage would be treated as a regression in other language runtimes and would likely be addressed. The fact that this is solvable with…

Go does not have compile-time null safety or sum types :) foo := Foo{"hello"} fooPointer := &foo fooPointer = nil fmt.Println(fooPointer.Bar) > panic: runtime error: invalid memory…

> 5 days, 6 hours Many remote salary workers regularly work 6 hour days. Getting more recognition for this seems like a good first step in getting acceptance for 4 days, 8 hours.

Looks similar to Sonic https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic (wr/in Rust)

Doesn't crypto have the same problem, with money laundering and other crimes? If you lose money with crypto, there is no one to sue nor government insurance.

Isn't this circular reasoning? Rails are terrible, so nobody uses them, hence nobody invests, hence poor ROI. Roads are heavily invested, so are usable to the point it is uneconomi…

Rust doesn't have a garbage collector, meaning you have a steep learning curve around the borrow checker. Zig aims to be a C replacement, with manual memory management as well. Nim…

I disagree. Language does matter for long term maintenance. For instance with a tax rebate. Static typing - a fancy language feature - can immediately tell you the function deals w…

What about F#? Often seems underappreciated

I'd say the two big ones are: - Mature support for async/await since 2012. Yes, Project Loom is coming, a decade later.. - Support for generic-aware value types (struct vs. class) …

> You can barely tell the code bases are related beyond being functionally similar. Not sure if you've missed this, but this is a number one reason many consider C++ absurdly compl…
