Some more context on the consulting company: StrongDM was sold earlier this year, about a year after the dark factory was first announced, and the former CTO moved on to this (presumably) in order to continue the idea. Disclaimer: I'm

If it's 'wrong' to be able to pass around mutable pointers, is the only language that is 'right' Rust? (and some Lisps maybe?)

The parent isn't saying it is bad practice.

The argument is that it is not fundamentally better to use the longer name in the given context, so why make it longer? I'd say it isn't about how long the variable takes to type either, but how long the code takes to read and par

How can you confidently say that Udacity is clearer than Master's courses in general? How many universities have you taken Master's courses from?

The article, from how I read it, is not suggesting single-implementation interfaces are the problem but instead where those interfaces are stored. The package accepting the interface should define the interface it needs (and perhaps that pa

Better isn't always straightforward, sometimes unintuitive steps need to be taken to reach a better fitness value. The advantage of evolutionary methods over backprop is that evolutionary methods can take steps "backwards" an

Go has it's own form of assembly which it compiles to multiple architectures.

I can't be changing the example if I'm quoting you. I am not discussing the presence of fast lanes right now, which have their own problems. I'm talking about the literal prevention of accessing specific data because your ISP

It absolutely follows. > 1) Throttling sites the ISP doesn't like Is the definition of censorship. ISPs could just choose to not let anybody access their competitors' websites, for example. You're correct that data caps do

Less government regulation makes sense in places that don't endanger people (e.g. food quality) and in fields with a lot of competition. A large number of people in the united states only have access to one ISP, or one fast ISP[1]. You

None of those are net neutrality, but all of those are things that are prevented by the presence of net neutrality. Net neutrality is currently enforced because ISPs are regulated as "common carriers", meaning they can't inte

Shiny is missing a lot of desirable features (full-screen, window positioning, disallowing window scaling) and is no longer being maintained, unfortunately.

If you need this, you can write type assertion lines in a var block of the interfaces that you explicitly want to implement (and this will throw compile time errors if they don't).

Generics wouldn't necessarily bring in operator overloading, though. I haven't seen a Go proposal for generics that actually included it.

It isn't always as simple as setting some environment variables. None of the projects I work on will compile when told to compile for another OS_ARCH because of the dependencies they have.

It's been my understanding that Lisp and its relatives aren't designed to compete against C for speed either. Is this wrong?

They're developing another game with the engine used for MGSV, but you could account that to just trying to recoup costs involved in making that engine. Otherwise I don't know of other console or pc game projects of theirs.

It does say this. One of the last slides says 4% of the additional size came from adding more debugging information, excluding anything to do with the new inlining.

Then what word would you have used in this presentation, given no established word existed?

Presumably there is no attempt by the open source devs to trademark their work.

You could send the score on a regular basis, and check to make sure it isn't increasing at an impossible rate?

I don't think using nil to represent uninitialized data is a major issue-- if it were possible to catch uninitialized but queried variables at compile-time, that could be an improvement, but we want to give the programmer control to d
