    It would be nice if pure benchmark papers were a thing. Most of the time system papers get accepted for some new idea. The evaluation section is often biased towards the new idea. …

    How would you make the button send a request without js and without navigating to another page? Maybe css to load an image on :active or is there some better way?

    Scala is one of the smallest typed languages in terms of syntax. See slide 13: https://www.slideshare.net/Odersky/preparing-for-scala-3#13 With scala 3, syntax has been simplified …

    If I rememver correctly, the python plugin for vscode asks me whether I trust the project before running anything. At least that was the case when I last opened a Jupyter notebook …

    It is related in some way. Since Go has no generics, it does not have datatypes like Sets, Maps (go has maps, but only supports a few types as keys), or Graphs. It also does not ha…

    At first "mathy" objects seem not so important, but it also involves: - Vectors, matrices - Immutable containers (lists, sets, maps, etc.) - Domain specific languages (regular expr…

    I would be careful in mirroring a site. It's very likely to violate copyright or similar laws, depending on where you are. I think archive.org is considered fair use, but if you pu…

    It's easy to run tasks in parallel with just "await". Just start your tasks without await, store the promise in a variable, and then use await later when you actually need the valu…
