On copying from SO: "While it is a good thing [for work or solving] problems quickly, it does not give you the "challenge" that other programming languages, like Assembly/C/C++ does."

Port delays are getting worse in Shanghai. That's very bad news for global supply chains

What I find odd is the Rust team has done (IMO) one of the greater achievements in PL history and yet they seem to not have this elitism thing going on (or maybe I just haven't noticed).

That's where I think Rust could be a game changer, if all those deserialization libraries used in phone would be written in safe Rust it woudn't be an issue.

An Intuitive Guide to Linear Algebra

The peanut gallery loves to complain about superficial aspects of Go. Typically these are people with little or no actual experience using the language and tools. They fixate on imagined problems that don't matter in practice.

Today, Go users discover computer science.

Use the right tool for the job - if you care about generic overhead, golang is not the right thing to use in the first place.

Thanks to an ever-expanding selection of specialized tools and cloud infrastructure, a dedicated team of developers can ship a competitive product in almost any industry within months.

The programming language that I'm talking about is Go, but I think it's almost the same for most programming languages.

Is there a standard way to mark some functions in a crate as 'for experts only'?

The Tao of Acme / The Philosophy of Rob Pike’s Text Editor

You may ask: why should I care? The answer is profound: if you cannot read and write one-liner code snippets, how can you ever hope to read and write more complicated codebases?

Interview tips for Core OS at Apple

Why we need lisp machines

This is an absolutely horrendous answer and goes against the spirit of being a hacker.

If someone can express their thoughts in a language without strong types (because wtf is a type anyway?) then as a developer you should realise that inserting your own methodology and biases is a risk because of your lack of domain knowledge.

Shows the Silver Award... and that's it.

Aria Beingessner, a member of the teams that implemented both Rust and Swift, has an interesting take…C isn't a programming language anymore.

Interfaces [in Go] cannot have generic methods because those would need to be instantiated at runtime, which would require runtime codegen.

Costs of going unvaccinated in America are mounting for workers and companies

Thank you stranger. Shows the award.

Their desire for new features is insatiable, and after generics the will demand for more features and syntactic sugar. They are sugar addicts and in a few years Go will be bloated like most other programming languages out there.

I guess I should be glad I cut my teeth on C++ and Java, wouldn't have wanted my growth stunted learning Python and then being afraid of everything that isn't babies first programming language.

When I take a few steps back and start thinking about the bigger picture, I realize that, today, Rust is the first language that can reliably do everything well.

lifesaving covid drugs are sitting unused on pharmacy shelves

What most of us work on are massive skyscrapers with luxury amenities. We're the doorman, receptionist, plumber, pool guy, janitor, mailman, designer, and construction worker.
