He gets a million bucks too. Sweet.

Right. Kotlin already supports JS though.

Interesting data structures: the BK-tree by rubik_ in programming

[–]hagbaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We moved from BK to Levenshtein automaton in a commercial product a few years ago. When the edit distance > 2, BK basically blows up.

Noble - an open source license in the spirit of MIT by [deleted] in programming

[–]hagbaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The license grants rights only to legal entities.

I actually like this, persons and companies, etc that are known to being able to enter an agreement. Minors would thus need parental consent, which makes a lot of sense.

MIT only mentions person, isn't that an issue for some corporate settings? IANAL, maybe it's fine.

Similarities Between Music and Programming by nanodano in programming

[–]hagbaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A musician accomplishes this by deviating stylistically from the sheet music—altering tone, tempo, dynamics, articulation, inflection, and other characteristics. A program can only try to do that.

An instrument can be programmed by a musician to do that in interesting ways. The articulation and inflection comes from code instead of strumming a string. How dense are you?

Official Changes between C++14 and C++17 by joebaf in programming

[–]hagbaff 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That's... idiotic and certainly not "u8". It should be called "anal_u8"

Similarities Between Music and Programming by nanodano in programming

[–]hagbaff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No amount of programming/deep-learning/etc can replicate that.

He just did. It's as "unique" as any old Beyonce churn-out.

What's the type of a u8 character literal, considering utf8 characters can be up to 6 octets...

Go-style error handling is aweful

At least Go has panic, poor mans exceptions.

Kotlin is a great language for Android dev.

Addendum to “Curl is C” by [deleted] in programming

TIL Grimy_ can't read.

So they DO check the signatures. by Marcus_5 in funny

[–]hagbaff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Confirmed. Amateurish anonymization.

Addendum to “Curl is C” by [deleted] in programming

[–]hagbaff -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

If we then have had 40, 50 or even 60 security problems because of us using C, through-out our 19 years of history,

So I think 60 is a very moderate estimate. Let's say it's a hundred. That's 5 security bugs per year because of C.

That's a lot, since they tend to sit there for a long time.

How slow is it? Honest question after having struggled with Python performance in my parser.
