The phrase 'undefined behavior' only makes sense in the context of an ISO standard. For any particular combination of compiler, OS and computer architecture there are no 'undefined…

It's not funny, it's sad. Also, AWS sucks. It's the 21st century version of IBM mainframe, except without the reliability.

The original post was about 'projects', not code snippets. If you've done any serious (large, long, multi-team) projects in a dynamically-typed language, you know how quickly they …

Apparently, 'world history' started in 1850? Good to know!

It's pretty much irrelevant what people feel emotionally about Rust. The real-world fact is that Rust is, as of March 2020 at least, an entry-level systems programming language. It…

The problem with GC isn't the "spikey 1%", it's the fact that GC implies the "everything is a pointer to an object" programming model, which in turn fragments your memory and destr…

That would be about as effective as banning money.

No such thing as "RPC Protocol", there's a huge insurmountable gulf between "I want my Python and Javascript services to pass ad-hoc messages between themselves" and "I want to sen…

How in seven hells is moving imperative loop constructs from Javascript to HTML supposed to be "declarative"?! If anything, it's the opposite - you're now polluting HTML with imper…

Good, I needed a reason to stop using Wikipedia. Good bye.
