Much of theoretical computer science is math, like much of modern theoretical physics is also math. “Computational science” brings up images of computational complexity theory, computability, information theory, distributed consensus, type

My impression (I work at Google) is that internal interfaces to some of these services have a lot of Google-specific stuff that are hard to map to non-Google requirements.

You also have to see how easy these will be to use, with a dedicated app and all, compared to hiding a camera. In practice, if I spot a hidden cam on someone interacting with me in public, I’d call them out, but socially it would e super a

Yeah, more like 20 (19 CHF/h). Switzerland is expensive, and Starbucks ensures that their prices reflect that -- "caramel frappuccino" is 8.90 CHF for the big bucket of a cup they have, while the same thing in the US is what,

Yes I confirmed, this was what happened. The shitty part is that there was no obligation for this person to declare, they did it to be transparent, and their contract was never renewed. This in a store that is understaffed, constantly hirin

Why flag the account and report it if the only goal is to politely prevent people from uploading? Like you say, a “code change can do anything” and we simply don’t know how the current feature is done or how it will evolve. edit: like many

मुफ़्त (muft) means free of cost, मुक्त (mukt) is free as in freedom. मुफ़्त नहीं। मुक्त (muft nehi, mukt) reads like "not free (of charge), but free as in freedom."

I was replying to the comment above -- Go or Rust did not simply rename exception related keywords, they have a completely different approach. I don't know of any language that does mudane error handling with exceptions that is not a m

Panic/recover isn't used nearly as much for error handling in Go as in Java. An online resource being unreachable does not cause the net package functions to panic.

Why does speaking up about the Indian government inevitably bring up questions like this? Ambani's relationship with this government bothers me a lot (among many other things about any government, particularly this one).

That seems pretty patronizing of that "crowd". Is the topic of this thread (the top-level, not the topic of audio latency) something that matters to that crowd you represent?

I see, I guess then that's where we disagree. It is very confusing for people from my limited experience, for little gain. Plus you make it harder to do things like put these tokens in e.g., a vector without resorting to decltype. Goin

I kind of understand what you describe, but I still don't understand why the type needs to be private. You can return opaque objects of a public type just as well for this job, can't you? class Token { virtual ~Token()

You can prevent instantiation of the nested type already by using private ctors and friending the wrapper class from this type, while keeping the class itself public. That is a much cleaner expression of intent. I believe that if a class is

by yati 7y ago
You can do member access into the object! That breaks encapsulation or whatever was the reason to keep the type private. Passing it around usefully isn't possible except to friend or member functions of the same class (since you can&#x

I also use C++ everyday, and find it quite powerful, but I also feel that it is ill designed. The other day I had to work with code that involved a public member function that returns a private type. You can only bind to the return value of

There's some boilerplate (a bit less compared to Go) required to deal with errors in Rust too, but additionally, the compiler can enforce you can't get at the return value without dealing with the error variant. I just checked tha

I agree with your pointa. A note though, I also used to think exceptions are "essential", but after working with code that forbids exceptions and uses explicit error status passing, I find exceptions very awkward to work with. I f
