I feel like in a few more years and 2-3 major versions C# will have all the useful features of F#. It will also keep being much more exciting because our benevolent corporate visionaries manage to add new gotchas with every major and some m

Bandwidth/GPU real estate in terms of area. Biggest GDDR7 chips are 3GB 32-bit, it has 512bit wide bus. And even this is going to moonlight as a space heater

Also, our defaults are opposite of safe (most of the languages are still mutable by default, rigorous type systems wildly unpopular, there is a straightforward way to concatenate strings inside a query etc), our disaster prevention tools an

The difference is negligible on 2x 4090. There are more important differences like 4 bit KV cache.

English isn't my first language either, and I know how confusing it can be, so let me help here. Here is the quote from the post: "If crypto people feel that the losses are because of Fed's actions, then they should also agr

Fuck, I mean… yeah. Thanks for one more insight, by showing me that sending message/calling a method is a binary operation, seems so obvious but I never made that connection. This day started by shelling by Russian rockets, but reading

This is fantastically written documentation. What is even more exciting for me, that this is almost exactly what I was dreaming and talking non-stop about for the last few years. I never figured out the brilliant insight about redundancy of

I would have to respectfully disagree with you on the serializers part here. For me, after decades of fighting with “magic” stuff, simplicity is the key feature. So, everything that is a simple map function in disguise I tend to stick with

The combination of caching Postgres queries (because you are making over 30 of them per page), but still deploying everything to 6 distributed regions is just perfect chef's kiss

In a more broad way — it’s also a tax on conscience. Bonkers.

I have no idea, but isn’t it the usual real-world case of “it’s complicated, and it’s both”?

Go is just shitty Pascal, change my mind. On a more serious note. I decided to read Delphi documentation recently because I’m old enough to hear a lot about it, but not quite old enough to write anything in it. It had discriminated unions.

Oh man. Are you me? Thanks for that comment. For me functional programming was just like a “missing link”. Wait, I can just code like I think, not in this weird statefull way? It’s just so practical for me. I can deliver 10x the value for 0

They voluntarily withdrew their bid, because all 29 of the remaining Atlas 5 rockets (not built afaik, just planned and have engines ready in storage somewhere in Alabama) are already assigned to customers.

This has to be the most insane take I’ve ever read. There is no shortage of would-be fossil fuel producers if the price is high enough. Norway, on the other hand, by restricting consumption of fossils pays “early adoption fees” for greener

I think I successfully avoided writing for loops in application code for the last 3 years. I don’t miss them.

Wait. I always use logarithm for this kind of tasks, how exactly does it make me incompetent and terrible? This is literally what logarithm represents?

Fantastic. Knowing that my data was validated before being lost makes it so much better.

Yes they are, but it's not about being novel. Parser combinators are abstraction, and damn good one: they are easily composable, reusable, and what's most important approachable even for somebody who is familiar with the functiona

This is awesome project. For the last week I was developing essentially the same thing, but with F# as shell/REPL language. It's not yet ready to be open-sourced but if there is any interest I can clean it up and move to Github in
