Really? I had a very different experience. I mostly just used the official Phoenix docs and never touched ecto. It was a strictly optional thing I didn't need, so I didn't touch it. I did look at some other tutorials…
I think you're thinking a little too big. All I think that is really being suggested is an automatic window cracker/closer. If the goal is just to maintain a temperature I don't think you need to go to most of the…
As I mentioned, it ends up being the thought of it that's the worst. I can grin and bear it - as you mentioned that just tends to be part of life. I think we're probably talking about this a little too broadly. I wasn't…
Perhaps I'm just reading too much into the phrase "deeper issues" but I think you're reading too much into the whole "nightmare" phrasing. I don't think it's so much of an issue of feeling left out as it is feeling…
I've never understood what people actually mean when they say things like "dynamic languages let you express yourself more easily." I tend to find it significantly harder in dynamic languages. Yeah, there is way more…
> That's why we have floating point processing units instead of the fixed point. I'm not sure what that is supposed to mean. I was talking generally. Not every situation has a single appropriate value to represent it. I…
These days I don't blame them. I'm guilty of it myself. After Microsoft repeatedly dropped in the Windows 10 "updates" (including nag) under new names it got to be enough of a hassle to avoid them that I've basically…
I don't really see that as the main point. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it at all. I don't see the practical issue with a model being brittle in the face of imminent mission failure. The model breaking down…
But you don't know which IMU is misreporting. Now, given the nature of the situation you could probably say it's best to err on the side of acceleration. If you've stopped accelerating and haven't initiated landing…
I think it's also important to note that the inertial platform was developed for the Ariane 4 where it worked correctly. The software was actually developed correctly, and functioned as intended. At least for it's…
I think you're actually completely wrong about that. I think most people will assume it's an actual update when the animation moves. It's the devs that will stop to think if they're actually doing that or not, and have…
> Having a 1-to-1 correspondence between types and allocators screams of lack of separation of concerns. In any case... It's a 1-to-1 correspondence between an access type (aka pointer) and an allocator. There isn't an…
Sure, you can do things like that too in Ada. To some degree that might make sense sometimes, but having the option of an equally safe type that's used in a "normal" fashion, rather than something that has to go through…
Anecdotally, it's vastly reduced debugging time in my own personal projects. My most notable problems have all turned out to be the result of things like using the wrong input, or misunderstanding some external spec. At…
I completely disagree with those statements. Rust can give stronger static guarantees in simpler instances. When it comes to more complex cases, neither language can guarantee much. Ada however has better mechanisms for…
I'm pretty familiar with most of these issues, except for the one about verbose generics. What do you find so verbose about them? To my thinking they aren't much more verbose than C++ templates. They end up being a…
It's not just a question about the magnitude of the possible upside or downside though, it's also about how likely they are to occur. If you offer me the opportunity to almost certainly make every day slightly better…
Everything has risks. Maybe you change your diet and end up doing an unfamiliar food preparation and you screw it up and end up with a case of salmonella or e. coli. Or you do your usual thing and it happens anyway.…
I've had terrible experiences with duckduckgo. I really want to switch, but I've never been able to justify the costs. Every now and then I give it a shot but the results from DuckDuckGo just aren't there. Sometimes…
I rather like Ada. It certainly does have some issues, but I'm not sure I agree completely with all of your points anymore. I have had similar thoughts in the past though. - In practice I don't find the case insensitive…
