IANAL either but I agree, that is a statement of copyright which is not unusual, but there is no licence and therefore we have no right to copy & use it.

When I mentioned speed, I obviously wasn't ruling out C++ on that basis - but I would rule out Python or Node. Java is fast enough when going but the awkwardness of needing a JVM p…

That's kind of my point; the code might not be as beautiful as we could ever imagine, but as a product it works extremely well, and would be worse if it carried around a lot of run…

It isn't necessarily a bad idea to start with a minimal design and add features later once the implementation is more mature. Even if Go never gets generics, it's still a good solu…

Specific lanes for citizens of the country have existed for a very long time, but the article calls the issue out as having mostly arisen in the last three years. Seems unlikely th…

Yes, we have adopted Go for a lot of things at work and I have reviewed code of many of our devs who are more or less Go novices. It has indeed been pretty easy to understand - muc…

Quite a few of the consequences are discussed here: https://what-if.xkcd.com/124/

On the bright side, your code will always be as easy to understand as a novice's code too, so it conserves other programmer's mental cycles as well.

The ATM network here is also not owned by the banks (similarly FASTER payments, they are members of the scheme but there's a third-party that administers the network). They pay for…

> Today banks uses fee for everything and everyone is ok with that They actually don't. Most ATM fees and inter-bank payments (at least in the UK / Europe) are swallowed by the ban…

Definitely some ambitious goals. There's nothing bad about that, but this has an awfully long way to go - e.g. searching for "hacker news" works fine, searching for almost anything…

Not from those EU regulations - PSD2 is more recent than most of those challengers. They've popped up because the FCA (the UK regulator) deliberately tried to make it easier to sta…

You need to do more than just #include it - it is implemented in one .c file but that is not a header, so you'd still need to compile that separately and link it in somehow.

It's not the reason the author gives, but one advantage is that you don't need LTO for some optimisations. Sqlite has a single-file distribution for that reason. On the downside, i…

Yes, we do. I assume the cost of changing them all (and the resulting confusion and potential danger) was deemed too high.

I agree, my vastly preferred option now is Python code and C code with cffi to glue them together. I find that much preferable to Cython which is basically a third language altoget…

I've used this before - really nice library and an easy way of getting started without having to write so much custom code. Only down side is that of course it's still faster to ha…

Unfortunately we didn't exchange one for the other, the front benches today are bereft of both.

That was the system they already had, spinning out a clone of the old one they were using was presumably seen as the easiest way to separate the two banks. And for all the negative…

If people have done architecture-specific things they may not compile (or worse, crash inexplicably at runtime). I tried doing more or less that (compiling a C++ Windows app for 64…

You obviously don't need to know the CEO just "to get healthcare" - her friend was already being treated. It only seems to be necessary as a means of getting access to expensive pr…

Like Bigtable, MapReduce and Tensorflow haven't had any impact outside advertising...

It looks like that's what it is doing: https://github.com/ShivamSarodia/ShivyC/blob/156a71bce7f340d... The exceptions seem to be how it signals failure if the token doesn't match, …

We're using them between Python Go with no problems. Can't remember exactly what version it was at when I first tried it but it's worked fine for two years or more.

Nope, OP is correct - the Chatham Islands are GMT + 12 hours 45 minutes.
