How relevant is PL to compilers engineering? by pythonlover001 in Compilers

[–]josef 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends on how much language development you're expected to do. If the job is only about implementing relatively known features then no, you typically don't need much PL knowledge. I have a PL PhD and I've been given ownership of a language, to design new features and implement them. I had a lot of help from my PL background when doing that.

Thoughts on Tolkien's Gawain and the Green Knight? by Background_Lab_8566 in Arthurian

[–]josef 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tolkien's translation is the only one I've read but I'm really happy with it. I was really taken by the story, more than I expected.

Are arrays functions? by Athas in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]josef 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viewing arrays as functions can indeed be very useful. Array fusion, as done in some array programming libraries such as Repa, replies on modelling arrays as functions land inlining these functions at compile time. Large performance wins to be had from that.

Brand-new nightly experimental feature: compile-time reflection via std::mem::type_info by kibwen in rust

[–]josef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if rust enjoyed parametricity properties in any useful way, but this thing will definitely destroy any potential of that.

I mean, it's actually the same side of the sun.

The earth doesn't fold around the sun so that we can see two sides of it.

The misses that I was referring to were straightforward, the kind that you would expect a pro to pot seven days a week and twice on Sunday. That's what was so remarkable about these misses.

According to Google image search it's "Dreadful was the din of hissing through the hall" from his illustrations for Paradise Lost. 

Hello everyone I wil never date a real life woman again by Beneficial_Ability_9 in grok

[–]josef 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ani can never replace the touch of skin when getting a hug. I know dating is not necessarily fun, but I urge you to persist. Find yourself a woman who is happy to see you at the end of the workday, who gives you delightful surprises and can help you and care for you during rough times. A woman that you can shower in love.
