Isn't Julia a dynamically typed language?

LOL.

Probably why the Nordstream pipelines were blown up in a hurry.

Got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Not calling anyone it. Just trying to figure out what's going on with the itself and they/them malarkey.

Do you also write incomprehensible articles in German? :)

Sure it's not 100% but more like 50.4%.

Guess which country has the most arable land in the world?

You should feel bad he is also not a native speaker :)

It's not fine if it's going to melt.

>He has said he's buying Twitter to protect free speech, but he defines free speech in a way that suggests he's willing to restrict speech in any country where the government requires him to do so.

Elon is a huge Chinese stooge. You can now bet Twitter will become a mouth piece of the CCP. All dissent will be crushed.

The article does clear up a few things. Could have been a little less acerbic though.

FTFY...

Explains why there are no high performance production Java applications...

Help the convergence along by objecting to the use of M=1000 wherever you see it. We already have an unambiguous standard (it is the SI system of units and suffixes if you are unsure). People should be using it.

> An expense of $60,000 could be written as $60M

This is unfortunate. $60,000 is $60K (capital K not k) using SI suffixes. Please reject M=1000 today.

By unnecessary I meant the second M in MM is redundant (since M = Mega = 1e6 is enough). And yes I am disappointed, probably just as much as people's use of imperial units :)

Edit:...

>Roman numerals have been used far longer than the SI system has existed

Indeed it has. But has its use as a suffix existed for just as long? BTW I am also disappointed that the people still use Roman numerals :) (also completely unnecessary, the Indo-Arabic number system is "better").

Why would you assume the private sector is corruption free? It seems not playing fair is a fundamental rule of the business game.

I'd rather not. The second M is redundant. M stands for mega (SI suffix) which is equal to 1e6.

M is not ambiguous at all it stands for mega which is 1e6 (which happens to be a million).

Meters is lowercase m. And nobody uses Roman numerals as a suffix. MM is just unnecessary.

Uh oh, it seems like I made a mistake. You may be right! But I am not able to edit my comments now.

Because it is incorrect. The correct figure is 5,593.8 Cr, which is equal to 676.15 million USD. Note: 676.15 = 5593.8*1e7/82.73/1e6.

It's 5,593.8 Cr, which is equal to 676.15 million USD. Note: 676.15 = 5593.8*1e7/82.73/1e6.

Duplicate?

My bad.

I think you mean "ab initio".

> The current build system and type system go a long way to encourage library use

I have zero experience with Zig but this contradicts what the other poster in this thread said. Not sure what to make of this.

> Everybody is lying some of the time. Some more than others but nobody is perfectly truthful all the time.

True!

> don't necessarily want to call lots of library code

Makes sense since Zig is meant to be a replacement for C and "C is NOT a modular language! The best way to use C is to roll your own (or copy and paste) data structures for your problem, not try to use canned ones!" from a comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33130533

Edit: I call this misfeature of the C language the "polluted/busy call site syndrome".

Everybody is dumb some of the time. Some more than others but nobody is perfect in all spheres of life.
