Interesting observation. I looked into it a bit. Could theoretically be for Rust, but it sounds like Rust doesn't have the aliasing optimizations working yet. Based off [1], it looks like Swift's ABI might be able to take advant

My reading of the study is that both BMI itself and sugary drink consumption after adjusting for BMI among other factors are risk factors for low T.

narush points out elsewhere that this isn't a controlled experiment, so take these numbers with a grain of salt. Also I am not a statistician, so take this with another grain of salt. That being said, if I am interpreting Table 2 corre

Just FYI, the standardjs link doesn't seem to support your point here. It seems like standardjs is mostly about forbidding confusing syntax and obsolete APIs. (like .__iterator__, which appears to be replaced by Symbol.iterator, or .__

I'm learning all sorts of things today! handleEvent certainly seems like the language certified way to do this. It does seem like that means you need a case statement in handleEvent if you want to listen for multiple events, which I gu

Excellent point! I can see that getting confusing quickly. Edit: I was confused about how this could work, so I dug through [1] for a bit. It appears that for each object of that class created, an arrow function will be created on that obje

Interesting to know that what the article recommends is indeed the industry standard. I'd forgotten about hoisting until you brought it up!

I agree that inheriting the `this` for arrow functions is beneficial. To me it seems like you would want to use the normal syntax for global functions for hoisting and to prevent unintentional re-definitions, the arrow functions where you w

I am a noob to Javascript, so if someone knows better, than please correct me about this, but arrow functions aren't meant to replace normal function syntax, right? From [1], it seems like the main point of arrow syntax is to allow you

I've read v1 of the book, and the author does cover the fact that many parallel problems can be covered by using shell scripts or databases. He calls these problems you are talking about "embarrassingly parallel" and encourag

I think I understand now. Thank you for explaining. To me Western culture is a set of knowledge and practices one grows up with, but I don't attach my identity to any particular culture, nor do I hold people responsible for any harm ca

I agree that the article is poorly written, and doesn't more than tangentially make the point I was making. I think I can understand why you would want criticism a poorly written article in the supposedly high quality BBC. My curiosity

I agree that the article does choose not to say that their claims are backed with evidence. The article in fact does correctly state that they don't have evidence that bed-sharing is safer. However, they do state that room-sharing is c

I think that the article is trying to point out that some western parenting practices are potentially harmful to infants. In this case, "weird" is a very kind way of expressing the articles concern.
