Some more context on the consulting company: StrongDM was sold earlier this year, about a year after the dark factory was first announced, and the former CTO moved on to this (pres…

If it's 'wrong' to be able to pass around mutable pointers, is the only language that is 'right' Rust? (and some Lisps maybe?)

The parent isn't saying it is bad practice.

The argument is that it is not fundamentally better to use the longer name in the given context, so why make it longer? I'd say it isn't about how long the variable takes to type e…

How can you confidently say that Udacity is clearer than Master's courses in general? How many universities have you taken Master's courses from?

The article, from how I read it, is not suggesting single-implementation interfaces are the problem but instead where those interfaces are stored. The package accepting the interfa…

Nondeterministic Polynomial (time)

Better isn't always straightforward, sometimes unintuitive steps need to be taken to reach a better fitness value. The advantage of evolutionary methods over backprop is that evolu…

Go has it's own form of assembly which it compiles to multiple architectures.

I can't be changing the example if I'm quoting you. I am not discussing the presence of fast lanes right now, which have their own problems. I'm talking about the literal preventio…

It absolutely follows. > 1) Throttling sites the ISP doesn't like Is the definition of censorship. ISPs could just choose to not let anybody access their competitors' websites, for…

Less government regulation makes sense in places that don't endanger people (e.g. food quality) and in fields with a lot of competition. A large number of people in the united stat…

None of those are net neutrality, but all of those are things that are prevented by the presence of net neutrality. Net neutrality is currently enforced because ISPs are regulated …

Shiny is missing a lot of desirable features (full-screen, window positioning, disallowing window scaling) and is no longer being maintained, unfortunately.

If you need this, you can write type assertion lines in a var block of the interfaces that you explicitly want to implement (and this will throw compile time errors if they don't).…

Generics wouldn't necessarily bring in operator overloading, though. I haven't seen a Go proposal for generics that actually included it.

It isn't always as simple as setting some environment variables. None of the projects I work on will compile when told to compile for another OS_ARCH because of the dependencies th…

It's been my understanding that Lisp and its relatives aren't designed to compete against C for speed either. Is this wrong?

They're developing another game with the engine used for MGSV, but you could account that to just trying to recoup costs involved in making that engine. Otherwise I don't know of o…

It does say this. One of the last slides says 4% of the additional size came from adding more debugging information, excluding anything to do with the new inlining.

Then what word would you have used in this presentation, given no established word existed?

I liked using it as a motivational tool, to remind myself how far a project had gone and how I'd contributed, but that's about it

Presumably there is no attempt by the open source devs to trademark their work.
