To what extent writing your code in WebAssembly (eg Rust) can help with those points (eg structs in C argument). It would still run in a JS VM so I'm guessing a bit, but not to the…

This article is really a reiteration of a https://wiki.c2.com/?SufficientlySmartCompiler argument. I would've sticked to a massively less appealing, but more closer to reality: "We…

We tried to use it a year ago or so, because of the performance promise. We were getting random glitches every few thousand files during operations. There was no obvious pattern, s…

I'm a bit speechless... Can someone explain how does this scheme can even exist? It sounds preposterous.

This is big! Can't wait until we have radios that can also show images.

For me personally, it's really important how productive a language environment is after a few years of development. Therefore: - debugging environment - memory and CPU profilers - …

ALL Java developers should be required to watch this course (it's Free): https://software-mastery.teachable.com/p/uncommon-sense FYI: I am NOT an author of this course.

That's interesting - I hate wasting food, I have never complained about my order (and not planning too, unless the food is spoiled I guess). If I don't like the food, I'll just nev…

Surely, you must have sampled ethanol? ;)

In a sense, yes - I believe the damaging effects of sugar and social media on the society is far greater than psychedelics might have if decriminalised. They definitely don't deser…

Oh I definitely don't think it's the same. I would argue the items I have listed above are significantly more damaging to society than mushrooms. On the subject of heroin, what abo…

This type of empty fear mongering comment is unhelpful at best. It's a McDonalds of a comment. What's a lot of people? Why are psychedelics so special compared to anything else (su…

As with any metaphor, technical debt has its' limits and its' traps. IMHO the biggest problem is that a comparison with lending implies that technical debt can be managed like peop…

Some reasons that I don't think have been covered yet: - experienced programmers are promoted out of the tech track - it causes all sort of problems, people keep reinventing the wh…

I have been using RxJS for nearly 3 years now and have a definite love/hate relationship towards it. Most of the time it feels like we're using it, because there's really nothing b…

Thank you for mentioning monomorphization - I wasn't aware of this concept. Would you maybe if there's any source discussing how this is solved in different languages and performan…

Yes, yes and yes. Last time I checked human cognition and collaboration seemed to attract very little interest. I suppose this somehow falls into a slot of "Human Productivity". Fo…

"A Philosophy of Software Design" by John Ousterhout - a recent find and probably the best book on programme design I've ever read. Author is an experienced programmer and Computer…

The test that never can get slower - I'm curious how they do it.. In my experience tracking performance regressions is much bigger challenge than solving performance issues.

From what I understand withdrawing it was a procedural trick, see here: https://twitter.com/wstock215/status/1311824945752801281?ref... via https://redbus2us.com/h1b-perm-wage-leve…

Interesting.. In Polish this type of English influence I believe was largely constrained (although not entirely) to within IT profession. We have (and use) words for - "file", "fol…

It's always been just a bit funny to me in case of French... A lot of these words are of Greek & Latin origin, some of them even come from French (eg. flame). I know I'm going to s…
