Why does default build process matter? Once you haven figured it out and automated it (say, using a makefile), it doesn’t matter whether you’re using a default build process or not. Also, the likes of Haskell let you build binaries dependen

C, C++, D, Nim, Haskell, OCaml, Rust, Swift, Objective-C, Crystal..... the list goes on. Many of the languages have a native code implementation in addition to an interpreter or a byte code compiler — e.g. Common Lisp (SBCL), Scheme (Chicke

Doesn’t LastPass Authenticator suffer from the same problem? If I understand correctly, they store the MFA secret in the same account — meaning if your LastPass vault is breached somehow, so is your MFA.

The last I checked, Swift is not supported on Windows — and Linux support is tentative at beat. I mean, only Ubuntu is officially supported.

Rust? I know a lot of people evangelise rust — to the point of annoyance of others — but as we move into an era where the entire world is run on computers, it is just not acceptable to have decades old infrastructure susceptible to bugs oft

What a lot of people don’t get is that it’s not pointers or manual memory management or even lack of language level support for “modern features” like object oriented programming, exceptions etc. that make C a pain to use. No it is the unde

Well, a lot of aluminium cans are left un-recycled — especially in developing countries.

On one hand, this seems like a terrible waste of metal. But at the same time, it reduces the amount of plastic bottles. Depends on how cans are recycled, I guess. Also, a plastic bottle can be reused, but a can can’t be.

If you read my top level comment on this thread, you’ll notice I am saying exactly that — over use of anything is bad — as is inappropriate use.

Yup, seems like the author had trouble following badly written abstraction and/or indirection and came up with the idea that they are bad. Abstractions are invaluable if you are dealing with a large codebase. Even the original author c

I don’t quite get the point of article. It essentially boils down to: “Abstractions — or rather, indirections — are bad for for readability, but they are good in some cases.” Umm... this can be said for pretty much anything. Over use of any

Are you sure you are talking about CarPlay? I could understand Android Auto to an extant -- it can be slightly confusing to the uninitiated, but CarPlay is just about as simple as you get -- at least in my experience. (Please do not start a

That is a really good idea. Touch controls are nearly useless on a moving vehicle. It would be a lot better if Apple/Google came up with a standard tactile interface for their in-car offerings. Don't get me wrong -- CarPlay/A

The idea behind ownership transfer is to ensure that an application never sees another application’s namespace. Ownership transfer doesn’t really involve copying files as it does on iPadOS — it is still held at the same location on disk. Th
