No user record in our sample, but _0w8t has activity below (stories or comments). Likely we have partial data — the full bulk-load will fill profiles in.

The error handling verbosity in Go should be blamed partially on the formatter that replaces one-liner if err != nil { return err } with 3 lines.
From a technical point of view nothing prevents the scripting package to be just as informative with errors as bash and have a helper to log and clear the error. If it is not already the case, I call it a bug.
There are plenty of web site builders that allow for a drag-and-drop construction. But people who use them are not programmers. I.e. programming is not supposed to be easy. So if one sticks to it, the problem has to be…
Experimentally one never observes waves. Light is detected based on its interaction with electrons and that is always by an electron absorbing a quanta of energy, not via some continuous process as would be the case…
Defer will be executed normally when the function exits. yield here is not a statement but a normal function.
In modern JS engines with 64-bit CPU when the engine cannot deduce types and must use a generic word to represent any kind of values numbers (double values) are not boxed. Rather for everything else a NaN tag bit…
Bayesian inference is mathematically sound as it is based on a very generic postulates and allows to compare probabilities based in the current information and made a decision accordingly. With the proper approach the…
The article has not mentioned Bayesian inference, which allows to make sound decisions under uncertainty. For example, in practice the raven problem is not to guess if all ravens are black but to predict the color of…
Inferring the number of loop integrations or recursion levels is in practice impossible when the number depends on the user input. For a system language I would like to see that when the compiler cannot infer the bound…
To statically ensure a stack overflow does not happen requires that recursion is rejected by the type system. Austral does not do that so the stack overflow is a dynamic condition similar to memory allocation failures.
Yet Austral returns optional types from any memory allocation function rather than calling abort. And stack overflow is a memory allocation failure, so why is the discrepancy? I.e. for the language focusing on…
Native code can use a wrong abstraction as well. Around 1996 I tested on Linux a Java app that rendered everything in Java using IFC from Netscape. The speed of its UI was on pair with a native app using Motif toolkit…

Imperial measures were not about scale. They were about picking something one can easily relate to and then use that to express the quantity. If one needs more then 2 digits, one pick up a new thing as a reference. For…
In addition to the lack of GC Rust also requires type annotation for top-level functions. As types are often rather non-trivial due to borrowing etc, it really takes more efforts to write middle-level glue code in Rust.
