Just coming from Hong Kong or Tokyo I don't understand how someone can write an article like this without feeling completely embarrassed. Bart is a symbol of American incompetence. It's like, ok, unique decision on the…

Nah. That's crossing over to not being a web dev anymore if you're writing a browser engine in C++ and the renderer is in vulkan or opengl. If someones writing a rendering engine in javascript and html. Well, that…
Try stremio. It's a completely legal app, that's still updated. But it becomes just like popcorn time after you download a few plugins. And those plugins are downloadable from within the app itself.
Yeah or change the laws everywhere so copyright isn't a crime. Easy peasy.

He hasn't been in the industry long enough to see that most of the pillars of software engineering are built on top of massive tech debt. When I say tech debt I mean design flaws created by designer who simply could not…
I think the opposite. The tools keep changing because they think they have a solution to a problem and they end up creating something that's relatively ineffective. If you been in other areas of software engineering…
Ah I see. My mistake.
This stuff is foundational to things that check for program correctness. For examples type checkers check if the program is type correct. The foundations of these checkers rest on the content of these pages. It goes…
Orms are a huge mistake. SQL is already a very high level API that compiles to low level algorithms? Why put another very high level API on top of that? To top it off SQL is a leaky abstraction by nature. Two high level…
Python is data oriented. Nobody is talking about origins of programming languages. That is a separate topic. We are talking about the language as it stands now based on how it's used and the ecosystem. I never said Ruby…
I know. But the syntax is still script style. The syntax is more closer to Python then it is to C++.
It is. Ruby and python are in the same class despite python being more data oriented. Julia is the same thing. Data oriented.

There's 3 languages in the same class. Julia, Nim and Crystal. I'm specifically curious about Crystal vs. Nim. Benchmarks show that crystal is pretty much faster, but I'd also like to know the advantages of why someone…
Agreed. But also no denying the fact Blade Runner had horrible pacing. Pacing is hard to get right in a movie. It is a separate pillar of measurement for a movie. A movie can rate 10 out of 10 for setting and character…
i personally found LOTR to be "groundbreaking" for it's time. But if LOTR came out after say something like GOT. Well GOT is better in that sense. The key difference between modern cinema and previous cinema is pacing;…
