I believe they are saying the static type system and type checker provided by Rust helped them write complicated code.

There are also tentative plans to integrate core.typed with the Clojure compiler so type annotations can be used during compilation (e.g., type hints through inference). There was a post about it, but the best I could find is a recent paper

Closest thing to an answer I've found is from the licensing page: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/licensing But it doesn't specifically address collection and distribution of API results as a dataset. (From the p

Just to clarify, this is _not_ a remote vulnerability. If it was a means to create a remote shell, then it would be. An attacker would need to first find some way to gain remote access and then could use this bug to gain root privilege.

What about Clojure seems dense or implicit to you? Clojure and Python have a similar feel to me. Both are well-designed in the sense they strive for a small set of primitives useful in solving a broad range of problems.

Instant feedback makes coding more tangible but can be harmful. One may get caught in an edit-eval cycle and spend time solving the wrong problem. Regularly stepping back and reevaluating assumptions/goals helps. (And write supporting

Thanks for writing the book! I first learned about it from here awhile back. It's extremely helpful to get an expert's take on the what and why of organizing game code.

To play devil's advocate, what if the impact of a teacher inspired a student who eventually came up with a billon-dollar idea?

Interesting that none of the methods in either short list are inherently probabilistic.

Piazza, a class discussion app, seems to have good adoption even at schools that use Blackboard. I'm hoping to do similar for homework collection with Classhand. I expect a switch to a basic platform with apps like Piazza that offer ta

I think zw meant that the Cocoa binaries can't be distributed with Darling. That's not a major problem for users that have a copy of OS X. Darling can allow users to supply their own. The potential issue you refer to would also

Using Qt as a Cocoa stand-in sounds complicated. Since Darling already uses its own loader and syscall hooking to provide compatibility for the program, why not do the same for a framework like Cocoa?

Adding function parameters solely for testing purposes is bad. However, poorly-designed functions are often difficult to unit test. I don't know the entire backstory, but it appears someone wrote a publish! method that took a publish_ti

Can you really identify the number of columns being used by looking at a layout? And is Bootstrap the only one to use 12-columns? I've used Bootstrap as a starting point for several apps and have modified the grid setup before, but it wasn

Machine learning is full of hacks to connect theory to producing results given constraints. That's not too different from hacks that are done for the sake of performance in graphics rendering.
