Not technical/concrete (examples are missing!) enough for me to really understand what techniques the author is getting at. How would the author achieve all these exclusion mechanisms in a distributed system instead of letting the data

Those cat corridors are cool as shit. I love little doors and hidden hallways, it's almost victorian. I would only worry about "noise" leaking out of the bedrooms...

I don't understand how this is a relevant criticism of my system. If you are already ignoring the actual chord "voicing" as written in the "classical" system, then just keep doing that in my system?? If you are alre

E-G is a 3 semitone interval and G-C is 5 semitones so it's an E+3+5 chord. If you wanna play it on piano, that means leave a gap of 2 keys and then a gap of 4 keys. Known in western classical harmonization theory as "Em+" (E

Unpopular opinion: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then dude, it's a duck. Inverted chords have, in my ears, never sounded anything like the chords they are supposedly an inversion of. It's like saying "10 is

After some thinking, the ternary conditional operator can be decomposed into 2 composing binary operators like such: ? takes a bool, a T, and returns option<T> true?b == Result b false?b == None : takes an Option<T> and a T and

The second way is the antiquated british english meaning of the phrase. It's got a kind of "all but" deal going on: two ways to interpret it. Really annoying how the English language can't get quantifying phrases right.

> In Go or Rust, returning an error is also a “color” that spreads out to the top of the call stack. That's wrong... Suppose A calls B and B returns a Result<T> (so it's colored as you say). A can match both the Some() an

Swift solves this by using witness tables. Witness table is a skeleton of the desired record shape. It records offsets of desired fields as found in the actual supplied record. Each function call the actual record is not passed, but its cor

Use a generic function signature that takes in a `void*`. Inside the specialized function bodies, cast the void* to an `actual_type*`, then dereference.

For the same reason python is seen as easier: guardrails and checks are just an impediment right?

It's not well laid out. The examples are malformed/illegal and the ifdef thing is stupid. The author admits to not being a C undefined behavior expert and yet acts like they might know better than a tool made by such experts. Look

It's worse than that. This guy takes a void* function and casts it to a char* function, then passes it a char**. void (*name)(char *ptr); typedef void (*name_func)(char *ptr); void target(void *ptr) { printf(&

What scares me about eaves and cupolas is that they seem attractive spots for bats and insects to nest. I have a covered sort of outdoor hallway leading to my home, and it's swarmed with all sorts of flies during the summer because it&

It surprises me to read about "fixed metal frame" awnings. You don't _have_ to make that trade off. In the Netherlands a lot of houses have electrically retractable awnings (or even just mechanically windable by hand), especi

I agree with that, in the context of dynamically typed languages. Slowly but surely, new languages are starting to develop with static duck typing. Implicit interfaces if you will.
