I don’t mean this to sound harsh, but this post comes across a little like you already assume you deserve to win such a prize and it’s just those fickle judges standing in your way. I looked at your sample chapter and immediately bounced of

I think that proposed prize would be pretty “value-free.”

I’m okay with that. I’ve been a huge fan of Ballard and Priest for years, and got into Nina Allan’s work more recently and this book was a brilliant but heartbreaking read.

Having maintained internal forks, and having needed to pull in and rebase upstream changes I do read a lot of commits. Projects that take care with their commits are much easier to work with. This is also true when creating with security pa

No, running a command in a terminal buffer doesn’t block the emacs UI, but a long running bit of elisp running in emacs can block the UI.

I think the thing that stops me from running more processes inside emacs is that a large diff parse from magit or similar can block everything, and so I end up keeping a separate terminal around anyway.

Okay. I gave it another read and I think we agree in general, but maybe disagree on how much memory model strangeness is acceptable, and how wide the gap between, “The behaviour can be understood by a developer,” and, “it should be possible

It’s certainly possible, but I worry that weird things can happen when doing something as “simple” as defining a property if another thread is messing with the prototype chain. Even thread safe property maps can’t entirely save you because

Although the work being done to enable multiple threads in JS is impressive I think it will be hard to make robust in many casss without locks, or fairly strict limits what operations can be performed on objects shared between threads. The

JSON ser deser is usually dominated by floats rather than ints, and they are more expensive to handle.

The GoF book came out in 94, and Java in 95.

The point is that having a GC will affect your data structure and algorithm design, so it’s easier to automatically transform JS or TS to Go than to rust because you’re mostly reducing things down to one problem (translation) rather than mu

It depends a lot on where you were brought up, and the language you were exposed to. My first association would be a very Yorkshire, “Thou knowest,” rather than the king james.

cF is the command you want for this.

I recommend actual human reviewers who you can stick with over time and who do not just say that a book is good or bad but something about why. Those don’t have to be professional reviewers, they can just be people you know or follow who ta

It’s been swinging for at least 30 years, Toplink came out in 1994, and I have worked on systems that were written half a decade earlier that contained things we’d all call ORMs.

That is superbly done. I can go further back than some here, 1300 is fine, 1200 I can mange okay, but 1100 takes real effort.

Orthography is probably the biggest stumbling block going back to the 1500s or 1400s , but that’s really because the rest of the language has changed in vocabulary and style, but is still understandable. If you think the 1200 or 1100 entry

Having interpreted for a guy speaking with a broad Glaswegian accent on the east coast main line, I can totally believe this.

Obviously there isn’t any of that in Warhammer, at least not officially. Even a pretty niche thing for them is probably at a scale where resin casting would make more sense (assuming they aren’t going to sell or license out STL files). Ther

You need more than a simple sandbox for what you describe. You also need to avoid infinite loops or other constructs from causing a DoS or similar, and if you are doing this with the intention of interacting with some other parts of a syste

Smalltalk, Lisp, and other image based languages allowed this. I would not recommend it beyond a very restricted idea of patching.

Confirmation codes are not sufficient on their own, they cycle through them relatively quickly so they have to be combined with things like the passengers family name to actually identify the booking.

Calling them AI flamegraphs is really naming them after the workload they are likely to be used on. If you want to make workloads more efficient it’s useful to know where they are spending their time.

Crucially you can also select a region within a chunk and perform those commands, so it’s easy to untangle changes.

There are often a couple of barriers to this. Firstly, you can’t break what is already there, so any evolution of the general platform often has to make wider guarantees than a single framework. Adopting ideas from any single framework too

I thought this was going to be about the programming language, and I was wondering how they managed to implement it on a machine that small.
