Yeah, you're right. For future protection from changes, quite possibly from future me, I've updated it in [this commit](https://github.com/octobanana/stig/commit/8baa0ffee040475f9b07267da36fa4fcf3574b6b) to use an explicit capture list. Thanks for the nudge!

I have taken lots of formal math classes as well, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I don't think the pumping lemma is a particularly good example for teaching formal argumentation. It teaches a very specific proof-strategy, and provides a real example for De-Morgan over quantifiers, but pumping lemma proofs are very schematic and even often a bit hand-wavy to avoid complex case-analysis for non-trivial languages, especially with the pumping lemma for context-free languages. It's easy to learn nothing except for the proof-scheme, I think. I took both real analysis and the appropriate class where formal languages, the pumping lemma, decidability and the basics of complexity theory are taught in my first semester and I found real analysis very insightful in terms of formal mathematical reasoning, while that other class was very interesting, but not nearly as insightful in terms of formal mathematical reasoning. It did provide insight into the kind of mathematical reasoning present in some areas of CS (which is very intuition-heavy for lack of appropriate formalisms to encapsulate case-analyses), however, the pumping lemma felt like an exception to that.

I don't get it.... how in the hell did your brain classify this as clickbait? 1. Users reported this bug in 2007 2. There are at least 8 bug reports about this same thing being abused in the wild. 3. Mozilla has actually marked the bug wontfix, then opened it again after more users complained. 4. Other browsers have fixed this years ago. Heck, even Edge protects users against this bug. EDGE!!! The title is quite accurate, I'd say.

Lol and that's the end of it for you, I guess. Not "oh shit nothing prevents malicious actors from abusing a commonwealth if there aren't watchful institutions". Not "perhaps we should get expert eyes cast on this morass". Not "maybe Boy's Island is a bad place". Not "perhaps I should give up programming in sandboxes". It might be time to take software seriously. But you do you.

Stop using overly complex, high risk libraries that you cannot vet for malicious code or unwanted features. You'll be fired when this happens or a security issue happens. Otherwise you need to justify the security of your customers and their consumers.

This seems like a massive exaggeration. It's not that hard to understand (for any regular language, there is some length where every string that long must have a portion that is infinitely loopable). And the Myhill-Nerode Theorem is not always usable. Like anything, it's a tool. And complaining that the contrapositive of the Pumping lemma doesn't hold is not a valid complaint IMO.

My general feeling about this is more about their respective backgrounds. Languages don't get adopted purely for isolated technical merits, but also relative to the space they are operating in. F# operates in the .NET space, while Scala operates in the JVM space (for the most part). The main difference then is the comparison with the big players in their respective spaces: C# and Java. I think one of the many reasons why Scala is more popular than F# is that C# is better than Java under many aspects. People operating in JVM space desperately wanted something better to work with, and Scala was a very good answer when it launched (it's still true today, compare this with the success Kotlin is having in its reference space). On the other hand, I don't know C# that much, but it seems in a far better place, so I guess that the effort of adopting a new, better language like F# wasn't equally justified.

No, I'm telling you to read your libraries so you know what you're deploying to end users or accept that if you get fired for a security issue or unwanted behavior such as documented in this post, that you're ultimately responsible and shouldn't be upset by your own choices. I'm not telling you to write everything from scratch. I'm telling you to write trivial things instead of importing megabytes of shit for one feature, or to make better choices in general for libraries that aren't bloated and unknown to you, or to vet your dependencies.

Thanks for the heads up, thats definitely something we want to avoid :) More seriously though, some thought for avoiding that situation has gone into the design of [CONNECT](https://connect-platform.com) from the get-go. For example, the interface encourages beginning graphs from the top-left corner and flowing down towards the bottom-right, since graphs unlike sequences do not have a clear start and so are harder to read. Or the space for representing a graph, although you can scroll (horizontally only) through it, feels pretty limited, discouraging creation of super-huge graphs and highly encouraging breaking such graphs into graphs of smaller sub-graphs (basically, modularizing).

This article is misleading. A) Higher CPU usage for more concurrency and simplicity was a fundamental choice they made when designing Go's GC. B) This benchmark measured the total time needed to complete garbage collection. But the program isn't blocked for that whole period. Usually it is only blocked for a few nanoseconds. The vast majority of developers will never have to even think about how fast the GC is. C) A normal Go program would never have so many pointers. And if you're worried about using too many, it is much easier to avoid them than in a language like Java (there are other benefits to avoiding pointers, such as fewer cache misses). D) Go is not intended to be the fastest language available. It is for people who want something that isn't horribly inefficient (like Python or Ruby) but also want something that tends to produce easy to maintain code. If you want the best possible performance, don't bother tweaking the GC, just use C++.

This article is not explaining which specific dialect of SQL they are talking about, but if we generalize it to ANSI SQL, it is clear in the language specification that boolean evaluation order is not specified: ANSI SQL Draft 2003 5WD-01-Framework-2003-09.pdf >6.3.3.3 Rule evaluation order > >\[...\] > >Where the precedence is not determined by the Formats or by parentheses, effective evaluation of expressions is generally performed from left to right. However, it is **implementation-dependent** whether expressions are actually evaluated left to right, particularly when operands or operators might cause conditions to be raised **or if the results of the expressions can be determined without completely evaluating all parts of the expression.** ​ See also [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/789231/is-the-sql-where-clause-short-circuit-evaluated) on this subject

A good reason to switch to neovim is because it is multi-threaded, which speeds up plugins. I do a lot of my coding with vim, so this helps a lot with auto-completion and linting. It aims to be backward-compatible with standard Vim features and plugins, so most things you use will work out of the box (I haven't encountered any compatibility issues for > 1 year). It also has a [built-in terminal emulator](https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim_terminal_emulator.html).

That term describes quite correctly what is actually happening. You *request* that they *pull* your changes into their code. We can probably agree that changing nomenclature to be *less* descriptive, *less* correct, is probably not good idea, not in technological domain. So, if I understand you correctly (and please correct me if I'm not) you propose to actually change that technical process. Make it so that anyone can *push* any changes into *anyone's* codebase, without their consent or knowledge. Did you really think through what would that mean? It would mean any single programmer, for incompetence or malicious reasons, could wreak havoc into any open source codebase. You could put spyware into Linux kernel, no problem. You could randomly delete bits of code, here and there. You could add function that deletes all users data every January 1st. Of course, other developers could undo all your bad doing. But it would add them crazy amount of work, and I'd dare to guess there's larger amount of incompetent, overconfident and malicious programmers out there, than good and capable ones. If we tie up good ones to just cleaning mess all the time, we won't have any progress. Honestly, I couldn't imagine there could be thing capable of outright *killing whole open source movement*, until you came along with your crazy proposition. Yeah, good job. We could destroy everything good in software world with single simple change. And for what benefit? After all, if you care about some open source project, and you wish that this project grows and suceeds, and you want to play part in that success, and if you want to become better programmer, isn't it actually great thing to have someone like Linus to check out your code? Personally, I would love Linus to do code review for me. Because among other things, I want to be good programmer. And if you disagree with current leaders of given project, you can always fork. This is greatest strength of open source. And guess what? I'm quite sure you can set up your repository to automatically allow and merge any, ehm, pull request. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and be the change you wish to see in the world!

I don't think Muslims in general actually take much issue with Christmas though? But even if just one of these reports is real then it's no longer a matter of career and actually about ruining lives.

> But even if you buy a house, then sell it at a loss 10 years later, you've still spent a LOT less than you would have on rent over that time period...ALL of which was sunk cost. It depends on where you live and what the interest rates were at the time. Around 2004 The Economist calculated that in the UK it was cheaper to rent than buy. It's still the case if one wants to live in the city centre pretty much anywhere in Switzerland. There's even a website to calculate it for you here in Switzerland (that I can't find now). In my case, _if_ I found a cheapish flat, _and_ I had the money for the 20% deposit, _and_ I moved to further away to a smaller place: I'd lose money if I bought a place versus paying rent where I live now over 15 years.

In real time? Note that real time isn't about speed or throughput, but about having hard upper limits (that will NEVER breached) for reaction times. In such a situation the answer is: you want to use probably neither. Better use a messaging system that is way more deterministic, e.g. CAN. As soon as you use ethernet or WIFI (and this are the two medias that are usually used for TCP or UDP based protocols), you're in CDMA/CD land. And there is no real time guarantee anymore.

I recently kind-of started enjoying it, actually? Documentation turns a pile of assorted wood and metal into a flat-packed bed you can sleep in. Once you add a mattress, anyway. And there's something to be said for trying to imagine what it would be to read the thing you just wrote, or looking at what people miss when they read your documentation and _fixing it_ so that the next stressed person figuring out how to do something doesn't have to send you panicked Slack DMs. Writing documentation is basically like programming, but the framework you're targeting is implemented with a bunch of proteins, floating in a bone cage, most likely sleep deprived and distracted by open space noise.

It's usually not about side-effects, so much as chaining operations that are only valid if the first condition holds, which is applicable to SQL, but much rarer - e.g. `a != 0 && 2 / a > 5`. Here, even in a pure language, the order of operations would be significant (depending on the exact type of `/` in that language, to be honest). The author's mistake is assuming that 'AND' and 'OR' in SQL would map to `&&`/`||`, when in fact they map to boolean `&` and `|` in C/C++/Java/C#.

> It's the exact opposite, Google implements what they want to implement and then hope that others follow by seeing something great by example. So did IE. Example: before the CSS box model was fully standardized, Internet Explorer pushed ahead with [its implementation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug), which differed significantly from the eventual standard. And while subsequent versions of IE fell in line with the standard after it was completed, Microsoft _tried_ to ram their version through on the back of market dominance, and the fallout caused pain and suffering for web developers for years afterward. Lots of people, especially younger developers, complain about IE6 because it stagnated for years. That was a problem, yes, but the bigger problems were all of the non-standard features IE tried to introduce in an era after standards bodies had already been formed. The wild west of single-vendor web feature development should've been over by then, but IE still tried to introduce new things without a care about other browsers. Some other examples include [filters](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms530752\(v=vs.85\).aspx), [CSS expressions](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ie/2008/10/16/ending-expressions/), and [XMLHttpRequest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest). To be clear, lots of these features had technical merits. IE's early box model does make more sense on lots of levels, and [flexbox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSS_flex-box_layout) works similarly; lots of IE's proprietary filters were standardized in CSS3; CSS expressions has returned in the form of [`calc()`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/calc), and XMLHttpRequest was obviously adopted on a wide scale as the chief building block of modern dynamic web content. The problem was only sometimes the features, and more that Microsoft designed and built these features in isolation – just as Google is doing now. > Then when other browsers didn't want to implement this (quite useful, reasonable) feature you blame Chrome for trying? Crazy. I blame Chrome for attempting to abuse their market share to force Google's vision for the future of the web on all of us. Sometimes the features are good, sometimes they're bad, and sometimes they're just different; the problem is never the features themselves, but the aggression and assertiveness with which they're presented and implemented.

So just link to the third party library rather than include it in what you ship. According to you you're automatically off the hook.

Funny. I was pretty sure that Babel transpilation did a good job of that, along with polyfilling for older browsers. These days, it's mostly a solved problem and well understood. Even more so since evergreen browsers are much more common and make people's lives much better. The problems come with newer apis that people want to use and aren't yet available across all browsers. E.g. the notifications api on mobile.

You can’t count on that network latency. That’s the problem with thin client architectures. This is not new, and it never works out. And you completely contradicted yourself. Events need a server round trip by default, you need to opt out with onImmediate. Again, this is not new and this is not a good idea. It’s amazing how many people don’t know history and think this is something new and might save the world. Even as programmers we just sit and make the same mistakes over and over again.

We have an in-memory write through cache that has 12-30m heap objects. During Go's GC - p95 goes from ~10ms to ~400ms, and pavg goes from 500µs to 5ms. Even though the STW period is very small (200-500µs), performanc still tanks while GC is running. This runs on go 1.11. Pretty bad. We have the option of using some hacks to move stuff off-heap, but add complexity to the service, or rewrite it in another language. We're rewriting it in rust. The main backing structure is an LRU that manages a map of maps. We don't generate enough garbage to trigger GC normally, so GC runs every 2 minutes (because that's hard-coded into go's runtime as to the minimum frequency a GC can run - as in it will force a GC.)

>So, it turns out that pointers are the enemy, both when we have large amounts of memory allocated on-heap, and when we try to work around this by moving the data to our own off-heap allocations. If we can avoid any pointers within the types we’re allocating they won’t cause GC overhead, so we won’t need to use any off-heap tricks No. The problem is not the pointer type. The problem is the GC itself. GC in general sucks. This is a know problem for other GCs. For example in Java you'll find the same problem, and the only way to deal with performance slowdown is to give the GC an order of magnitude more memory. From the paper "Quantifying the Performance of Garbage Collection vs. Explicit Memory Management": [www.cs.umass.edu/\~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf](https://www.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf) >In particular, when garbage collection has five times as much memory as required, its runtime performance matches or slightly exceeds that of explicit memory management. However, garbage collection’s performance degrades substantially when it must use smaller heaps. With three times as much memory, it runs 17% slower on average, and with twice as much memory, it runs 70% slower. Garbage collection also is more susceptible to paging when physical memory is scarce. In such conditions, all of the garbage collectors we examine here suffer order-of-magnitude performance penalties relative to explicit memory management. ​ More here: [https://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow/index.html](https://sealedabstract.com/rants/why-mobile-web-apps-are-slow/index.html)

By locking dependencies I know it won't change unless I install a new version of a dependency. I'm not sure what you mean otherwise. If something comes along that I disagree with I can fork, skip features, apply security patches, whatever. The fewer high risk dependencies and less this should be necessary.

I truly wish that it was, but from my experience I cannot with a good conscience recommend React Native for all but a few types of projects. I am a big fan of React. I've used it for web where I find it quite pleasant to work with. It's pretty solid, the ecosystem has a lot to offer snd the development experience is generally good. I cannot say that any of the points above apply for React Native, however. Allow me to go through the points raised by the author: - *React Native is growing fast* Sure. What React Native offers on paper is fantastic. Businesses have been looking for this type of solution ever since there was more than one platform. - *React Native allows you to develop in JavaScript* Yeah. There are probably a lot more developers that know JavaScript due to the web being a thing. I do not think that JavaScript is a bad language, but I think that it is a necessary evil in browsers - we do not actually have to deal with JavaScript on native. Having JavaScript as a base comes at a cost user experience in many cases. - *Access to native functionality* You do get this! You still have to either build the native functionality yourself though, which does sort of negate the benefits this brings. Or you could make a gamble on using the react native libraries which are in all honestly of very poor quality. I have never forked so many libraries until I started using React Native as there is essentially something wrong with every library in the ecosystem. - *Native look and feel* No. React Native sure looks and feels more Native than for example a Cordova application, but they are definitely not what you get with true native. You will have to accept this if you want to commit to React Native. - *Cross-platform* React Native is cross-platform if you ignore everything that is particular to the underlying platform. If you want an application that behaves predictably in accordance with the underlying platform you will need to write a lot of code for each platform separately and you will still fall short due to the limitations React Native imposes. Hence, React Native applications tend to the lowest common denominator among the platforms the application must support. - *Shorter development cycles* If you exclude time spent on fixing React Native-bugs and fighting the platform limitations, maybe. Your users will pay the price for this, however. - *CD with CodePush and friends* This is honestly more pain than gain. You cannot push out bundles if you've changed any native dependencies, for example, so you are still mostly stuck with regular app store release cycles. - *Improved developer experience* No. Not even a little. React Native offers a pretty horrible developer experience compared to either of the big native platforms. This is the kind of thing you hear a lot so you tend to repeat it but it's really really not true. - *Easy to learn* Maybe for a seasoned React developer, but that ignore the fact that you're basically forced on a daily basis to debug the native vendor code. So it's easy until you need to fix that stuff and then it's way harder. - *Performance* You are paying the JavaScript and the Native bridge tax always when using React Native, period. Performance is definitely not better. Zero chance. Now I still think React Native is right for some projects: - Startups getting off the ground. Just know to get off in time if you value your users' experience - Apps that could have been WordPress installations if they were web pages. If this is the case however please ask yourself why you are even making an app, you should probably make a web page instead. In all other cases I recommend that you stay away from React Native. It does not deliver on what it promises.

> This primarily arises because Kotlin is implemented over the JVM and hence have no way to implement the reification necessary for safe casts at composite types. Generic type reification is possible on the JVM. Most JVM languages (except Ceylon, I think) don't do it not because of any JVM limitation, but because they *don't want to*. Reifying generic types (for subtypable type parameters) hinders language interop (code and data sharing), and on a polyglot runtime like the JVM, it's too high a price to pay for such a small benefit.
