> I do not believe API design of a math library is in any way the same level, having designed hundreds of APIs and several SDKs myself. Oh given that the APIs were "designed" by Oracle, that stance might be relatable.…
It's a tradeoff. The problem is that academia often comes from the angle of abstracting and generalizing everything, which is even more harmful than copy & pasting and using the simplest code possible (mostly because…
And that's why you are luckily not in charge ;).
But that is something very different. Nobody censors "new ideas". The censorship in science is focused on journals. I.e. if you want your idea to be published through a standard, accepted channel, it needs to be…
I wonder when people will finally understand that outside of mathematics, there is no "truth" and "falsehood". There is only statements that have sufficient evidence to be considered a fact, or statements that lack…
This made me laugh. You read tons of scientific papers? Good for you. As anyone with an auto-immune disease and seriously interested in healing can tell you: AIP, if followed to the letter, works absolute wonders within…
Why would you mention Swift, Go and Rust in the same context? I mean Swift vs. Go kinda has some merit, although they have completely different intentions. At least Go doesn't aspire to be a systems programming…
Except that there is a big difference: If a rich person loses his job and 50% of his savings, he will still go on to be rich and well off for probably indefinitely as long as the stock market works. They will also have…
> Amazon expects that users won’t mind sharing a small fraction of their bandwidth with their neighbors. Very interested to see how this will be protected against exploits.
Ridiculous argument. All they need to do is to split their data centers into US and Europe and store all data for Europe in Europe only. This will likely mean a hard graph boundary between profiles in Europe/Everywhere…
