I had several history of science and technology courses at university that caused me to reach the same conclusion. Basically the same story repeated over and over. Somebody invents a thing (usually through some sort of…
Im pretty sure I watched a numberphile video on this. I'm having trouble googling it. Anyone know the video I'm talking about? This is the sort of thing that belongs on HN, but not WSJ. WSJ should be talking about the…
Actually, this is much more interesting than the doomsday math. Like does somebody have the mental model of a bunch of software engineers shoveling equations into a furnace and it powering a data center? What exactly…
I can second ocaml. Im using it more lately and really enjoying it. Of course the compiler error message leaves a lot of room for improvement. And it does take a lot of time to get used to all of the peculiar syntax.…
That's not particularly charitable. The accidental AMA that happened on HN a few weeks back gave me the impression that V lang isn't as polished as a concept as some of the other offerings out there. BUT the author…
I imagine the types of things you do with the respective languages as well as the number of people in the communities have a pretty big impact. For example if you're using c++ to implement an interface for some hardware…
This is pretty cool. Ive seen a surprising number of things hidden in c# that can affect performance. For example stack allocation. Anyway im looking forward to the tools, frameworks, and abstractions that come from…
I dont know. Ive seen systems before where anyone could make catastrophic 'modifications' like what you describe. I tend towards blaming the system construction over the junior developer.
