Also what about laws and governments ? This is a very american perspective IMHO to miss this part of the picture. Some stuff should be regulated. Especially post of FB/Twitter/ect that are actually provably false and whose diffu

It depends on how you shout. People won't stampede if they trust the leading authority, if there is credibility and competence.

PG wrote very very good books and essays. But the current PG (esp on twitter) seems to be so far away from this level of quality that I see where you're coming from.

Powerful doesn't mean fast. Python is quite slow but C++ is not powerful enough to make so many things usable without -comparatively- a lot of work. C++ is very fast and entrenched in a few markets ( gamedev, trading, etc) but that&#x2

This way of speaking is believable for Chinese scientists and militaries. The cop had a very different tone.

I am finishing a procedural generation pixel-art editor, aka you connect nodes to get a rectangles of colour. The cool part is the nodes you use are often other graphs also built with the tool. It is a bit like Houdini but for pixel-art. It

This is false in my experience (more than 10y). Most teams use a linter and a formatter. The situation is worse in any other language, except maybe golang.

I agree with you but this I am not sure it is the right example. In this case, the position of the zergs would be indirectly a component. You would have arrays of struct Zergs, each would only have a ref (or an index) to an arrays of positi

yes, but that's so minor compared to the gain of a more readable syntax... really an edge case.

I think conflating data structures and objects is bad, and muddle the discussion. An app is mostly a pipeline of functions over an initial data structure.

Such a biased/bad example... This is a private affair, between the wife, the husband and you. It can be a concern for the community but it has nothing to do with the government !!!

this is a bit disingenuous. the back-end technologies are quite stable and based on not-perfect-but-reasonable semantics. Django/SQLALchemy don't change that much. Front-end on the other end is a mess. JS/HTML/CSS as t

look at elmlang maybe ? it solves a few of these problems, but this is quite different from what we are used to.

you're not familiar with coffeescript and used to the many javascript warts, so your perspective is biased. But Coffeescript makes many things easier and has good tooling (just another loader in webpack). While not perfect, It is a rea

It is not forbidden, but it was condemned many times including for talk about concentration camps or jews. For a long time, it was borderline. And It has a very dark history: - During the Algeria war, its founder (JM Le Pen), then in the ar

why ? Could you elaborate ? Because from my point of view, it could be only the case only if the scopes are weak or underused, or names are bad (too short, ect). After SSA is all about one-use names.

You have to draw the line somewhere. It is a balance between reasonnable information for the police and privacy. Except when you're linked to an investigation, you don't have to proove you're innocent of any crime. Still, all

This is a bit of a strawman argument, F.lux is not in this category of silly apps. F.lux is a reasonable app it has a good track record respecting its users and is requested by many many users. It is about control.

Except that for historical reasons, js is a very rushed/badly designed language. More precisely it mixes moment of brillance and very stupid design choices. Ruby, Python, Lua are in term of language design way superior. Coffeescript an

compare this with python, which has carefully evolved into a better language.

the choice is also between a good language and a bad one. Those two choices are not exclusive, and choosing good practices is not the end of the road for the quest for quality.

I think rust people wants to proove repeatedly the addded value of their language : "no cost abstraction over bare metal" because it is the thing that will win the heart of their audience. Still, in practice, it will likely play

Between the natural grumpiness of french complaining about their country and the casual french bashing, it is hard to get some quality comments here.

This is misleading. Many many countries are worse ... And the level of bureaucracy is not the same everywhere in France. Education is a very conservative administration. Universities even more so, because they don't have much money (it
