Yes, but they are both still conflicts of interest. Also as the other poster mentions, as Go accrues popularity, it is not always as easy as picking another language.
...and yet nothing happened to him there...
This situation feels similar to the need of politicians to divest any potential conflicts of interest. I would not accept “just trust me” as a response. As long as there’s a possible conflict of interest, there will be…
Let’s take it a step further and have AdBuddies from Maniac
I'm reminded of this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/22/opinion/reclaiming-jew.ht... > To be “a real Christian” is a compliment, but to be “a real Jew” is considered an insult.
I understand Rust's goal is to have the zero-cost abstractions of C and C++ with greater safety, effectively displacing them. This is obviously a personal opinion, but sometimes I like being able to create bugs in my…
"Programmable semicolons."
I can think of at least 3 reasons! 1) I don’t control the curriculum. 2) I’m pretty sure no one knows it well enough to teach. 3) Rust’s ecosystem and adoption is still too small for being taught as an engineering tool…
How else would they learn about linked lists and dynamic arrays?
In the next sentence I say: > variables must always be initialized before they’re used. Also I believe I’m quoting close to the standard there about indeterminate value. I stayed away from using the term “undefined…
Yikes! That's no bueno. And away it goes...
Hi. I appreciate your candor, although I'm not sure what I've done to inspire such contempt. You're correct that the entire point of the post was to deep dive into a rabbit hole. I acknowledged that and also…
Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who think so.
Hi. I completely agree. C++ is there for very fine control and serves the purpose well (and is constantly adding more control, e.g. trivially relocatable). My biggest goal for a CS 101 class would just to build…
Author here--some extra context to add: The post was mostly written to point my students to, so I don't have to keep repeating myself. I get a not-insignificant number of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years (in a 5-year program)…
I agree with your sentiment, but in this case it’s not a personal attack. Linus, the person in charge, has standards for how certain choices should be made. The prevalence of Linux makes any breaking changes dire. Linus…
What would you consider foundational?
Is withgoogle.com a new subset of educational resources from google? Going directly to withgoogle.com just redirects me to google.com. My first instinct was suspicion when I saw the link.
"No, Computing is not just glorified math". At the end of the day, yes it is, but I can understand the sentiment of those who don't need/care to look at it any deeper.
I appreciate the relevance and importance of posting this to HN, but I also think there’s not much anyone can add to the innate absurdity of the idea and the president’s claims. Additionally, aren’t searches already…
Can someone point me towards the deep learning tech they reference for improving ray tracing performance?
The increase also coincides with the change in federal administrations, and any number of other significant events. The title is unnecessarily suggestive. Edit: Someone else also pointed out the super bowl win, which is…
Reminds of when I started reading Code Complete. The construction analogy really helped me conceptualize the difference between making a personal one-off project (like a shed) and an hardened mission-critical system…
