They have an attack which stuns the player, followed up by a grab attack which looks a lot like them trying to bite(?) your head across a few seconds, doing immense damage. I think it's probably intended to be that, yes.

Yes, pi has an infinitely long decimal expansion, and there are infinitely many prime numbers. No deep messages have been found in either yet, and I am sure some people tried, so it stands to reason that no such messages exist. Mathematical

Andrew (in the linked Github page) answered a question as follows: > Question: "So after this change, is there way I can still simply call zig run or do I have to use a build.zig file?" Andrew's answer: "No, this use

People have been over this. If you believe this, you don't understand how LLMs work. They fundamentally perceive the world in terms of tokens, not "letters".

Talking about a "decision" only makes sense if there's a reasonable alternative. Do you think "actually fixing" OS threads was a reasonable alternative? What would you prefer for a high performance abstraction inste

Just because art always has a political component, doesn't mean reviews and discussions of it need to focus on viewing it through a political lens. Yes sure, art is political, but art is political in a different way in which a discussi

Speaking from a Rust-perspective, having semicolons at the end of statements makes perfect sense and is a brilliant design decision. Note that I said 'statements', not 'expressions'. A lot of the confusion here (and mayb

They just gave a concrete example: The difference between "we don't know" and "we know that it's zero". Here's another fun one: I've seen APIs where "0.0" was treated as "no value, so t

Sure, I agree that these guarantees still have to stand the test of time. So far they're holding up quite well.

> "planned obsolescence" Cut me a break. In Go and Rust it's still easy to compile old code, and these languages have very strong backwards compatibility guarantees. You might need to compile it with a flag enabled, but it

Since when does Go have algebraic data types? Like, even "awkwardly", I can think of nothing that even come close.

I specifically made sure not to claim that "tech is not political", because that would be wrong. The issue is that "X used fake accounts to push political agenda on social media" might be interesting political news, but

You'd be surprised by how many HN users would prefer to keep politics-first-tech-second news off the site.

Calling them 'pure' may be incorrect depending on how high your standards are. Rust functions (which don't take mutable references) are incapable of modifying anything you pass into them, and any sort of global state is heavi

Linux Kernel, Firefox, Dropbox, Discord, Cloudflare, Windows, AWS. Idk, looking pretty good to me, unless you think none of these count. Considering everyone seems to hate C++ nowadays, and Rust looks like the only existing alternative. Har

Counterpoint: Rust. Seems to be taking off (difficult to predict the long-term, of course), but Rust is excellent at functional paradigms and Brings many advancements of functional languages to the people.

I hate to be that guy, but if you want "C++ but also functional programming" then... Well, then Rust is in fact the language which you're looking for.

Could you elaborate on what alternative to a 'type-theoretic outlook' you're thinking of? Pure set theory? Something without types at all, somehow? I don't know enough about the space to understand how type theory would

The issue is that it's more or less impossible to graft onto the language now. You could add enums, but the main reason why people want them is to fix the error handling. You can't do this without fracturing the ecosystem.

The Nix language is laughably simple, though, and (unlike Scheme) it happens to be typed. It's literally just typed JSON with functions and a few built-ins. It's laughably simple and great. The whole "yet another programming

Have you ever tried? I think most C++ people will (after using it for a while) begrudgingly admit that it is a very nice language, at least in some regards.
