Users on mobile can’t make their screens that big, and the average users on desktops don’t expect a webpage to work when they resize their browsers that small. Trying to make both work with the same design can have a negative impact on your

I’m guessing the venue you’re talking about is tiny. There are only 1 or 2 major venues in the US that aren’t owned by live nation. Anecdote != data Cyber did an episode that covered this in more detail, btw: https://www.vice.com

Someone on Reddit added Nim to the table, which I found interesting: https://uploads.peterme.net/nimsafe.html (Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/maj1lz/nim_safety_in_c... )

I agree. From my perspective, microservices shouldn’t be a starting point. They should be something you carve out of a larger application as the need arises.

The first thing that comes to my mind is that there are different axes that you may need to scale against. Microservices are a common way to scale when you’re trying to increase the number of teams working on a project. Dividing across a se

Adding to this, I see two other elements that make this tough to replicate in Kotlin: 1. Type erasure 2. Using sealed classes requires instantiation, while the Rust version is zero overhead.

If your entire code base is in Kotlin, then nullability works exactly like Options. The difference is sugar. And the Kotlin compiler can handle null checks as well as the Scala compiler handles Options. The problems arise when you interop w

by Nycto 10y ago
That's not the point. The point is that any safety you think you have by using an Option is a little bit hand-wavy. That's not _bad_, but the argument being made by the OP was that nullability in Kotlin was unsafe and inconsistent

by Nycto 10y ago
I don't see a huge difference between Scala's Options and Kotlin's null safety. In Scala, you can still do this: val x: Option[Int] = null

I like Scala. I've written a lot of Scala. But choosing a language is a team decision. And Scala draws the same kind of ire as C++. It's to the point that I have seen seasoned engineers laugh any time Scala is suggested. To provid

I'm a huge fan of Kotlin. I think the author just doesn't understand the niche it hits. My team has a significant investment in the JVM. I despise working in Java because of how heavy it is to write. I like Scala, but the team I&#

This isn't a full solution, but perhaps inter-tab communication would work? Use whichever tab is focused as the master, then other tabs send messages to the primary as they need work done. It wouldn't work when none of your tabs

That's not at all the case. Templates can return values. So really, you could think of the templates as syntactic sugar around the existing functions you've got right now. For example, the 'firstOf' template above would

I came here to say the same thing as the GP. So while I am not the poster you responded to, I'll pitch in my opinion. I've written a number of Nim libs at this point. Rosencrantz is missing the idiomatic 'feel' of Nim --

Hmm. This feels a bit pedantic to me. The `is_null` check looks relegated to the FFI: https://github.com/CausalityLtd/ponyc/blob/975d9f6c60553030e... Obviously, I have never written anything in Pony, but this

I would love to see an article like this for error handling in Rust. I was really interested in using conditions, but those were apparently backed out. Which leaves error handling through return values and macros. This seems like a step bac
