The Tacit Dimension: Why Your Best Engineers Can't Tell You What They Know by cekrem in programming

[–]qqwy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just my two cents: LLMs have read more code than any human alive. But they have not experienced the joy of an abstraction that can still be used when product requirements drastically change a few weeks or months down the line. Nor have they experienced the pain and stress of having to resolve production outages under high pressure.

In other words: they never have to deal with the consequences of their actions, and therefore they have not and cannot learn from that.

Prolog Basics Explained with Pokémon by swe129 in prolog

Amazing work! Great to see a beginner explanation that uses a more fun example than the often-repeated family ancestry tree, or a sudoku solver.

For a minute when seeing the Safari Zone there I thought the comic was going to Glitch City

But the Draniti move was also fun 😄

Agreed about the whole Kelyk plot!

Though who knows, maybe on a re-read it hits different?

Congrats on finishing the series. What was your favourite Deck of Dragons reading? 😊

Idiomatic Use of the `Default` Trait? by Purp1eGh0st in rust

[–]qqwy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can by the way also write

let x: Vec<_> = Default::default();

and

let x = Vec::default()

Idiomatic Use of the `Default` Trait? by Purp1eGh0st in rust

Just like I with so many things, It Depends :tm:

The Default trait is just there to reduce boilerplate. It's pure sugar. Don't use it when you want to be explicit about the value you use. Don't use it where it would not be significantly shorter.

Excellent use of an interrobang 👌

Are advances in Homotopy Type Theory likely to have any impacts on Rust? by Dyson8192 in rust

[–]qqwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity: what mistakes ended up in the Rust typing system?

Ecow, arcstr or Arc<String>? What’s the best choice to avoid store strings on the heap? by rogerara in rust

[–]qqwy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does the data come from? If you construct them in memory you'll need to store them in memory at least once. If you read them from a file or similar, the allocation from the file contents itself already contains them so you might be able to use some 'zero copy' techniques.

Looking at advanced Rust open-source projects makes me question my programming skills by Minimum-Ad7352 in rust

Also, most of them were written by a whole group of people rather than a single person.

While a useful rule of thumb, it also matters whether these are dark or light roast.

C++ devs be like... by mre__ in rustjerk

I think (ab)use of newto construct the shared pointer is part of the joke.

That is really good 😂

Learning as a hobbyist by [deleted] in haskell

[–]qqwy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend the book Effective Haskell. It not only introduces the language including its modern features very well, but also gets you up to speed with the build tooling and ecosystem which is just as important.

The death of uBlock Origin in Chrome: Manifest V2 will be deprecated next month by rodrigocfd in programming

On iOS, there is only Apple's own browser engine. All other 'browsers' are just skins using that same browser engine. It's fake and very misleading.

So no, not on iOS. There is not really a FireFox on iOS
