" Most evil company " is quite the statement about some silly javascript library.

From the YC guidelines:

> One good trick for describing a project concisely is to explain it as a variant of something the audience already knows. It’s like Wikipedia, but within an organization. It’s like an answering service, but for email. It’s eBay for jobs. This form of description is wonderfully efficient.

Seems the risk of this is a loose simile.

Edit: Though, thinking about it, Airbnb for GPUs is fairly accurate for this model of a marketplace where people let out their GPUs for others to rent.

Not to be confused with systemd[0], a system and service manager for Linux. Which I was kinda surprised to see that the link wasn't about this and almost didn't click on it because I saw the source was wikipedia.

Dang, Maybe we can edit the title?

Is swift outside of Apple as fully fledged and performant when it comes to concurrency? Last I checked, a lot of the heavy lifting came from GCD (ie the Apple runtime-scheduler)

"Liberating the Smalltalk lurking in C and Unix" by Stephen Kell, Strange Loop Conference, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwicN2u6Dro

> This talk introduces liballocs, an infrastructure which exposes the dynamism hiding in the arcane linking and debugging infrastructure of a Unix process, along with a small extension to C toolchains that enables fast dynamic access to data created by statically compiled code. Together they can be said to unleash a "hidden Smalltalk" inside the C and Unix model of programs and processes. Come prepared for a journey that takes your perceptions of the boundaries between dynamic and static languages and turns them on its head.

> "trie" data structure

How is that word pronounced? If it's pronounced "tree", it clashes with the name of another data structure. But if it's pronounced "try", it clashes with the name of a reserved word in many languages.

This is the one issue I personally have with C++. How do I `pip install boost`?

Many of those web APIs are things Google forces down everyone’s throats to have something at least on paper resembling feature parity with native applications.

Creating a separate gcc plugin for this seems unnecessary if I am not misunderstanding something. Just ensure the invariant function is called at every method, in debug builds maybe. You could of course change the object properties without using a method but then you have bigger problems.

> That’s common to all typed languages

It isn't. Haskell, for example, has a type system expressive enough to encode concepts such as "a function which takes an array of elements of any type (fixed at compile time) and another function which operates on elements of the type that array is composed of and returns an array of elements of that unnamed type" and it has a type system with fewer holes than any Algol-derived language's (Ada, C, Pascal) type system has.
