Sometimes it is diversity itself that someone brings to the team. Diversity has value. A rockstar programmer is looking to join a new company. She is black. Does she join the company already with some diversity or the company full of brogrammers? Diverse teams come up with a fuller range of ideas when brainstorming. Diverse teams can help you design a better UX. For example, a team with a blind programmer has an advantage when it comes to making blind users happy. And let's not forget that it's illegal to discriminate. So a diverse team also protects you from frivolous lawsuits. It's fine to celebrate someone's skin color when you take all of the above into consideration. You shouldn't celebrate that above all else - that would be cringy. But there is no reason to not be grateful for the diversity someone different brings to your team.

you don't really need to know them all, or even alot. But teach yourself languages that approach things differently to what you know, and by proxy learn some interesting ways to think about solving problems. Your main language is javascript? So you've probably learned some basic OO-esque stuff, some basic functional level stuff and it's dynamically typed. * How about really fleshing out the OO stuff? Try Ruby or Python. * How about fleshing out that functional stuff? F#, Lisp/Scheme, Haskell? * How about trying some static typing? Typescript, C#, C++, Java * Or static typing with really strong type systems? Haskell, OCaml, Rust, C++ * Or perhaps the old procedual programming style, as there's still plenty to be learned there: C * Perhaps manual memory management instead of GC: C, C++, Rust (Well, rust is less manual and more non-GC'd) Sure these don't all help you in the web-sphere, but it's about improving your mental toolbox on how to approach problems. The smallest thing you'll learn in these languages is syntax, you can probably pick up the important syntax in less than a day if you know at least one other programming language before hand. The largest thing you'll learn is how you can use the structures these langauges give you to solve problems, and then, rather suprisingly, you'll learn how much of that can actually be carried over to languages that don't neccessarily give you native support for it.

It doesn't really affect Atlassian. This is about companies providing access to your encrypted data where they currently wouldn't be able to because it is encrypted with keys they don't have. All your Atlassian data is just sitting in their database unencrypted, so law enforcement can get it with a plain 'ol warrant already, without this law. Just the same way US law enforcement can access all of your data that US companies hold already. Signal is different in that they encrypt your messages with a key that _you_ have but they don't. So currently when law enforcement come and say "We think Apocrathia is a criminal, give us all his messages" they can say that they literally can't do that. With this law they can try to force Signal to push a backdoored client to you that forwards your keys to them or something.

I don't want to be the one to break the news to you, but native look and feel died a long time ago and no one gives a shit about it. Maybe people cared 20 years ago, but that ship has sailed, hit an iceberg and is now buried at the bottom of the ocean. People are so used to seeing many different themes and UIs when on their computers, they barely know what this 'native' theme is supposed to look like, nor do they care.

I don't know why this is being downvoted. Perhaps the comment comes off as being patronizing, but given the example, I would agree that this solution would likely be simple and effective. It seems simple to change the query from showing "first last" to having options of "first, last" or "last, first" while completely avoiding the detriments of using DTOs and the likely ORMs they are often paired with. Edit: also, changing the query to just return first and last as columns that the UI later manipulates for its own purposes as u/BitLooter points out is another good way to solve this problem without DTOs.

> Last I heard about this feature was when Jon said that the SoA feature is not in the language anymore, but it will be brought back in a different way that is more generic and useful for more things. Oh that's nice! My main issue with SOA was that it was completely ad-hoc while with reflection, compile-time execution and compile-time code generation you should be able to develop it as a generic "code-rewriting annotation" and in the process open up a whole load of possibilities.

You missed the premise that the author wants to refactor legacy code which has no unit tests and where adding unit tests is hard. They want to refactor it to get it into a state where adding unit tests is not hard, without writing unit tests first. I don't agree with the rest of the article still, which seems to be saying that you should preserve existing bugs when refactoring, and that mechanical transformations can do that without needing tests. Instead, I think you should just go ahead and refactor and write the unit tests as you go. If you fix some bugs, well that's good, one of the goals of refactoring is to make it easier to fix bugs. I don't see the point of an ideology that you should never fix bugs when refactoring.

I hate the current obsession with TDD in general and unit tests in particular. Over time, I've found that unit tests are utterly useless except in some 5% of cases. Why? Because the functions they are testing are trivial and the _real_ problems start when you integrate them with one another and external libraries. And then you get emergent complexity and the whole thing falls on its face. If I write tests, I don't particularly _care_ why they failed - only that they did. A bug in an external library is just as much my problem as a bug in _my_ code. I write tests so that I know that if I put in X, I will get Y and if somewhere down the line something changes, the test will let me know that there was a regression. Hence why I'm practically abandoning unit tests altogether (except for those 5% use cases for which they are totally awesome) and focusing on testing functionality while trying to mock as little as possible - I want the tests cases to be as close to the real thing as is possible (while giving due consideration for performance, of course - tests that take too long are tests that won't be used). Which brings me to tooling - where all the tools are TDD this, unit test that, mock anything and stub everything. And then we're all surprised when tests don't catch bugs or contribute much to the quality of the codebase. And then there's TDD and its 3 rules. Very often, when I'm writing code, I have no idea how the public interfaces are going to look or what's realistically feasible. I find myself rewriting code two or three times before I am truly satisfied with it. How am I to write tests _before_ writing the code when I only have a nebulous idea of how the code is supposed to look like? Or when specs change or overlook an important detail?

Do you include the many women who dismiss claims of tech being a hotbed of misogyny in this "brogrammers" insult? I think a lot of *people* are tired of being accused of foul play and being presented with juvenile kafkatraps. I've said this before, but using the same terminology and tactics against predominantly female fields would be seen - rightly - as straw clutching sexist attacks. eg would you call psychologists "sischologists" or "femchologists" and *also* get away with accusing them of toxic behaviour and culture that excludes men and needs immediate rectification? Are we confusing equality with blatant chivalry?

If all variables are dynamically scoped, you can stack up former values in per-variable stacks, keeping the current value in a register if you are using it. elisp is slow because it is implemented in a byte-code interpreter and possibly because of other implementation *choices* made to trade off other characteristics (and priorities of the developers), not because elisp as a language is especially dynamic. Now Python, for instance, makes part of the language *definition* that lots of properties are in dictionaries attached to objects, with look-up by name. That's no longer an implementation choice but a language design. Even if it is infrequently used to change things at runtime (i.e. not *used* dynamically), it is the kind of thing that is harder to compile. And, in some sense this is really a problem with *reflection* because a Python program can probe object dictionaries with look up by variable, and is supposed to find all of the properties that way. The *exposure* of the dictionaries to the program is what defeats compilation.

I have no idea why this comment got downvoted. It's truly right. Java is fucking garbage, it's only used for legacy reasons and how it got first into the world 8 years before C#. Java is now doing stuff C# has done long time ago that it looks very stupid, I mean what modern language doesn't have string literals in 2019? That's just a really big joke. Now C# is moving into much more modern road with C# 8 while Java is still stuck in 2006. That's just so pathetic.

"Copying" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA It's funny since most programming languages now copy from F#/C# instead of the other way around. And what the heck "pointers" and "operator overloading" has anything to do with this? "Pointers" are in unsafe context so that you don't shoot yourself in foot which proves why C# is the best designed language here.

I don't think you can call it "conflating" when the problems of wxwidgets are **inherent** to the architecture of building a cross-platform layer on top of multiple pre-existing toolkits. Or libui is implementing their own widgets with different native looking themes. In which case my criticism doesn't apply.

Diversity definitely has value, just this "diversity" that people push for which seems to be based more on equity than equality is tiresome. Your example of the blind programmer is very valid, but I don't think celebrating someone's skin colour is still something that should be done - I don't think someone brings a different, valuable viewpoint just because they have a different skin colour, whether it's the black person integrating into the all-white team, or the white person integrating into the all-black team.

A desktop application that does nothing and consumes "just" 100MB of RAM? Electron has really shifted the definition of acceptable bloat.

In computing there are always compromises when dealing with emulation and supporting more OSes, also in flutter you have instant change meaning if you change something it will reflect immediately.

Agreed 100%. So many people think that the law means the end of encryption in Australia which absolutely isn't the case. Sure the legislation isn't perfect but it's no where near as bad as people are making it out to be.

To me, material design is heavily influenced both by what CSS is incapable of doing efficiently, and by mobile devices lacking the strong "up" direction that monitors have. So you discard most of the explicit edge lighting, an entire channel of information that your brain has spent a lifetime learning to interpret from your surroundings. You make everything a flat panel, because CSS isn't a 3D scene that can position dynamic lights and the baked-in fake-3D of old is just seen as outdated. You make everything white or an eye-searingly-saturated colour because... I don't know about that one, but I do know that a *subtle* background color would be a huge improvement in grouping on-screen components by task, but that tool also goes almost completely ignored these days. Then, because phone resolutions were *originally* low, and because you have discarded multiple old techniques for letting the user's brain simplify and group what they are looking at, you start to minimize on-screen complexity. Pack everything into a hamburger menu. Delete rarely-used features to free up screen and complexity budgets. Hide interactions behind a `...` button.

So like Qt + QML with a better license (Qt's LGPL might me tricky for app stores, there's still GPL or Commercial but those have drawbacks), better live coding (Qt has some but I think it's not straight forward to add it in your app). Worse syntax (QML is a godsend for writing UIs) and you have to use Dart.

It's a solved problem. You must derive the instruction set mechanically, from your source language semantics and performance characteristics of your target platform.

This is an older project (originally I posted it on r/sneakers), but over the weekend I ported it to javascript with Tensorflow.js. I made a small [demo site](https://98mprice.github.io/sneaker-generator/) where you can test it in the browser, but I also have the python and javascript source code available on [github](https://github.com/98mprice/sneaker-generator). The results are kinda same-y since I scraped all the images of shoes from Nike & Adidas' website, and I didn't have a huge dataset (~2k images), but in a selection of 64 shoes maybe you'll get 3-4 interesting ones. Let me know what you guys think.

And the only reason for dropping the acronym is that ignorant idiots were getting confused by it. I don't think it's a right approach, to appeal to the ignorant masses this way. LLVM is still a virtual machine, essentially, and it does not matter what the name means.
