You could put these behind overloaded operators and use them like the variant type. In any event, the really ugly part is matching, not construction or assignment.

React rarely breaks your code, and if it does, you must've been doing something peculiar. Then, chances are that the problem is well-isolated and relatively simple to fix.

I arrived at the opposite opinion. React really only asks you to mix HTML (or representations of HTML) with JS, while Angular asks you to write some "not-quite-HTML-nor-JS" DSL. An…

Most companies don't care about diversity of any kind for any reason besides PR. Every hiring manager knows that the most productive engineering teams are made up of 100% Asian cis…

"Maybe Gil Kalai really WON, BY A LOT, before Hugo Chávez hacked the Pan group’s computers to make it seem otherwise?" There is no evidence of widespread scientific fraud coming ou…

The curve flattens naturally at some point, always after “something” has been done. That does not mean these two things are related to any significant degree.

Why? There's a lot of stuff getting developed with web technology as the platform of choice. Not because developers want to, but because major stakeholders are pushing for it. It e…

On Windows 10, and I have tested various text input boxes. There's no way latency is anywhere near 100ms, I would notice that. Generally, from the tests I've seen, input latency is…

Scrolling, yes. Mouse, absolutely. Typing? Not really. I have tested this side-by-side.

If you take 10,000IU because 8895IU is what gets 97.5% of people to 50nmol/L, you are basically assuming you need more supplement than 97.5% of people, which is highly unlikely . T…

Safari may be fast, especially on mobile, but it sure is holding back everyone on features. The irony is that with WebGL2 and WASM, near-native-speed applications would be possible…

My point is that the Australian perspective on the matter invites no controversy. The indigenous population of Australia is dark-skinned and has access to all the sun it needs in o…

Game engines are usually maintained for years if not decades, as they are often enormous investments. However, it's more common to fork (or at least freeze) for a specific project,…

Few remember that the ancients decided to let the stack grow downwards to symbolize descent into the deepest circles of hell.

I didn't mean to say that there isn't any race-specific research, but that there is a risk of being called a racist (or a "race realist") associated with doing such research, espec…

The difference is that it's a shift in perspective. It's acceptable to say that white people aren't suited to live in Australia. It's not acceptable to say that black people aren't…

You're being uncharitable, which is part of the problem. These supplements are "recently invented" in terms of evolutionary history and it's not clear how well they work, compared …

Telling people that they "need to adapt or face consequences" would be even more dangerous than pointing out that they aren't adapted. Of course that's a highly uncharitable repres…

It can be mentioned as a footnote, because it is scientific fact. However, given the vastly higher death rates among people with darker skin, it should be shouted from the rooftops…

The article goes into what makes it fast on general purpose code in the bottom half. Mainly, it's the better out-of-order execution that is possible with a large ROB, and how this …

Look at tax/insurance burden in all these developed and aging countries. Most of that money is going towards paying off the older generations, their ailments and their debt, and it…

The loss of EITC affects low incomes. The mortgage deduction affects anyone with a "large" mortgage, but at current housing prices "large" is becoming the norm.
