It would be nice if pure benchmark papers were a thing. Most of the time system papers get accepted for some new idea. The evaluation section is often biased towards the new idea. Independent benchmarks could fix this.

How would you make the button send a request without js and without navigating to another page? Maybe css to load an image on :active or is there some better way?

I tried following the webdev topic and it's just interaction-baiting bullshit. Like loops vs reduce. Or "offend a webdev with 3 words".

I think implicit conversions were added originally to support Java compatibility without boilerplate code. It then turned out that they could be used to simulate extension methods, which is probably the main use case for implicit classes in

I don't think i will be much of a problem. Braces are already optional in Scala2 if you only use a single expression. The change just gives you the option to be more consistent and remove braces everywhere.

Scala is one of the smallest typed languages in terms of syntax. See slide 13: https://www.slideshare.net/Odersky/preparing-for-scala-3#13 With scala 3, syntax has been simplified even more, e.g.: No more braces necess

If I rememver correctly, the python plugin for vscode asks me whether I trust the project before running anything. At least that was the case when I last opened a Jupyter notebook in vscode.

Applications don't need generics, but libraries do. The lack of generics is the reason for a lack of many useful libraries that I miss when writing applications in Go. Things I missed lately: Sets, maps with arbitrary keys, lists, sort

It is related in some way. Since Go has no generics, it does not have datatypes like Sets, Maps (go has maps, but only supports a few types as keys), or Graphs. It also does not have immutable collections. This complects data modeling.

At first "mathy" objects seem not so important, but it also involves: - Vectors, matrices - Immutable containers (lists, sets, maps, etc.) - Domain specific languages (regular expressions, constraint languages, etc.) And without g

I would be careful in mirroring a site. It's very likely to violate copyright or similar laws, depending on where you are. I think archive.org is considered fair use, but if you put it on a personal or even business page it might be di

They can probably learn from the German reunion. A lot of mistakes could have been avoided, like letting western companies buy and close east German companies that were previously owned by the state, or closing eastern youth organizations.

As I understand this, the approach here is to bet on personal responsibility. This technology cannot be used to enforce quarantines as the authorities have no access to the data. Basically, we have to stop 2/3 of infections to get an R

> it would be even better if TS could do this automatically like Flow though That would imply that the same function signature could produce different type checking results at the call site. That is something I find extremely frustrating

Your version still has the problem that since Java 7 the substring method allocates a new String, which in unnecessary when it is only borrowed to the parseLine function and not needed afterwards. What you probably want is a view that reuse

It's easy to run tasks in parallel with just "await". Just start your tasks without await, store the promise in a variable, and then use await later when you actually need the value.

I think the only reason to use json over the binary format is readability, so why care about this?

by peq 10y ago
I agree. In particular in languages without null you will have a lot of Option types in the mapping. You no longer can generate useful type definitions from the proto spec.

I think sometimes types lead to simpler designs. For example why can't "then" just have the following type: Promise A E -> (A -> A') -> (E -> E') -> Promise A' E' That would eliminate some s

Regular expressions just need 3 things: sequence, alternatives (|), and repetition(*). Everything else is an extension.
