Interesting write up. It should be part of their documentation, it's helpful to have historical contextual info like this.

for functions that don't escape the current compilation unit (`static` functions, anonymous namespace functions), can/do compilers ignore calling conventions and do the faster thing? Of course, they can just inline, and that makes this moot.

Oh yeah, re: SQL expect - I always wish joins had a "cardinality assertion", like a regex *?+ (or ! for exactly one)

Fell for the Crosstrek but then got the ick with that dash tablet

C++ only needs 4 things: gradually-introducable memory safety, static reflection, first-class compile time string manipulation, and adoption+refinement of its modules feature.

Love me some lateral join / cross apply. Correlated subqueries and visibility in the where clause?! Whoo.

The backtrace argument is good, but I wonder how valuable traces would be in a world that never experienced reads-of-nothing (npe, reading from undefined, reading out of bounds array, etc). Presumably this would be because of 100% use of ADTs, or maybe some other mechanism; but, even Haskell throws exceptions out of `IO a` so such a world might never be realized.

This is a problem, seems like ctes and views are a possible ormless solution here

Thanks man I really feel the same when what should be 2 joins, becomes an all day hellscape of inspecting orm emitted sql, to debug why its blizzard of exists-subqueries is absolutley jacked and why fixing that breaks other code depending on such bugs

Often we just want "totally adhoc result set, but constrained using some common where or join." We keep on with the orm, but it's basically a slow and complicated form of a view at this point

Sort of an homage to the windows registry, but it's not a "secret 3rd thing" it's just another folder.

Neat. It makes me wonder if there is work on mechanical computers at around the atomic scale.

Ha I never wondered what the physical/life version of a shared library is until I read your post so thanks for that.

Gradle is totally undiscoverable. Some autocomplete and goto def would be nice for gradle kts files.

Can you add any number of A's, or just 1, or shorten it by 1, and it still is functional?

The anti-singularity, where an AI produces decreasingly correct versions of itself.

It's neat to see `foo` in "ancient" texts.

Roaches of the sea

...and then there was a perf regression cause the jawns were being autoboxed to Jawns...

Node heap profiler in chrome is pretty good, often it will show the largest retainers and if your hookes to a live vm (not a snapshot) you can inspect the object and eventually go "oh yeah this array just grows and grows..."

Really would like "select * except ..." and a non-dynamic-sql way to remap column names

Many reports of drought in europe, I had wondered where that water went (it doesn't just evaporate into space...right?)

Priapus weighting his dick in Pompei

Ah the origin of priapism, it all makes sense now. Not sure if that's an honor or not for the guy.

An interesting game. The govt could then raise the fine, but would they risk bankrupting the hospitals by pushing too far?

I can never get them to tell me what it would cost if insurance were to cover it. Either pay a definitive amount of cash today, or insurance will cover some unknown arbitrary portion of a similarly arbitray and unknown amount tomorrow, and pay the difference.

A fun protest / boycott would be all americans stop using their hospitals and all go over the border.

Generics or otherwise, I just want type info to flow into and out of things like 'map' or 'SpecialContainer<T>', and for my editor to surface that information.

It would be nice if this was the public debate we were having. Recently they dragged oil company execs in for a light video chat based grilling in the house. I would prefer to see the medical insurance companies pilloried, but and for those pillorings to yield something of substance. I imagine that every minute of talk about abortion or immigration has the insurance companies and its benefactors thinking "wow, we're still getting away with it!"

This redesign really would wreak havoc on the muscle memory of "grab for the orange circle with red-and-white-spiral coming out of it"

"total", per year or for all 4 years
