The secret is just to do it anyway. I have yet to work in a job where anyone actively stopped me fixing technical debt, even if they never asked me to do it.

It’s cloud based though… Not ideal. I get why they had to do that (they didn’t want to expose people to the Python infra shit show) but it’s still kind of a shame.

Would be better if they added Typescript support IMO.

You’re still missing the point. We all understand that definition. We’re just saying that it is incorrect use of the word “concurrent”. Does that make sense? The word “concurrent” means things happening at the same time. It’s stupid for programmers to redefine it to mean things not happening at the same time.

You missed the point. He understands all these things you tried to explain. The point is that your definition of the word “concurrency” is objectively wrong.

You:

you seem to be doing multiple things at the same time. In reality they are run little by little one after another

The actual meaning of the word “concurrency”:

The property or an instance of being concurrent; something that happens at the same time as something else.

Wiktionary actually even disagrees with your pedantic definition even in computing!

(computer science, by extension) A property of systems where several processes execute at the same time.

I suspect that concurrency and parallelism were actually used interchangeably until multicore became common, and then someone noticed the distinction (which is usually irrelevant) and said “aha! I’m going to decide that the words have this precise meaning” and nerds love pedantic "ackshewally"s so it became popular.

Yeah it always bothered me that they’re saying “concurrency is not concurrency”.

I’m going to start using “multitasking” instead. That’s so much better. Who’s with me?

Yep. It’s great. The awesomeness of JSX/TSX without having to deal with client side JavaScript frameworks and their awkward state management systems (does anyone actually like hooks?).

The GPL doesn’t allow you to use someone else’s trademark. Though in this case it might be tricky for “WPEngine” to claim WordPress violated their trademark, and apparently WP has T&Cs that allow them to do it anyway.

Fresh is the best way to make websites, and Deno is the best way to write infrastructure scripts IMO. I really hope they don’t run out of money.

Right… I mean the idea is obvious so why even bother with any of it? The only interesting reason is to demo that it actually works in reality which clearly they didn’t.

Ah I see, though they don’t seem to be for sale so I don’t think this guy actually has access to them.

Kind of worthless video. Just speculates about how it works. They don’t ever even show the app working!

These glasses aren’t even AR so the idea that they can overlay details as shown in the mockups is impossible.

Its definitely best to try and avoid raw pointers, but even if you try really hard I found it’s not really possible to get a Rust-like experience with no UB.

Even something as simple as std::optional - you can easily forget to check it has a value and then boom, UB.

The C++ committee still have the attitude that programmers are capable of avoiding UB if they simply document it, and therefore they can omit all sanity checks. std::optional could easily have thrown an exception rather than UB but they think programmers are perfect and will never make that mistake. There are similar wild decisions with more recent features like coroutines.

They somehow haven’t even learnt the very old lesson “safe by default”.

If I wanted memory unsafety I think I would consider Zig instead of C++ at this point.

Rust for now, by a wide margin. But I’m following other languages that I think have the potential to surpass it, including Vale (promises way more than it delivers currently), Koka, Hylo, maybe Lobster.

Interesting. I think zjitter would be the closest I would intuitively pronounce that way.

I don’t really know anything about the quality of X but I think resorting to name calling is insanely. (Some with Micro$oft etc. - haven’t seen that one for a while!)

This has nothing to do with Musk. Honestly these kinds of dismissive comments just make everyone else seem more reasonable.

Ah I see. I would pronounce it “Zitter” but fair enough. I guess if you’re Chinese?

It’s not Xitter. I don’t understand why you think it is. I don’t know what your cisgender comment is talking about.

Tbh I’m not sure what your examples are supposed to demonstrate. Blocking someone for saying they should focus on the engine and not politics is astonishingly thin skinned

Kind of hard to follow the thread of most of this but they sure aren’t disproving how woke they are by blocking people who even slightly disagree with them.

Also it’s just “X” not “Xitter”.

I seriously wonder what kind of circumstances lead someone to be this irrationally devoted to such a flawed and outclassed language. Probably best if I just block you though…

Go to bed, you’re drunk.
