The best approach has been to host a tokio server, and then make a traditional os-native user interface like a full-stack chump. That’s crazy. It’s still better than the UX’s that game engine designers think work. Sure bro, show me your Fil

Available components must win. I’ve often been a critic of open weights and open architectures that give very few normal people access. What’s the point of releasing the plans for a nuclear reactor if no one can have the fuel?

It was not fair. It was how I felt trying to build on it. I love the content that was produced, but it was all very experimental and garden shedded from a decision-making angle. To answer directly, I would credit the PSF and python communit

Love/hate with this one. How was I supposed to follow this? I tried, and few things were publicly visible for nearly two years. I last checked in march and it looked like no progress had been made. That makes me very suspicious of wasi

If you are talking about a city where this makes sense like Phoenix, the public transportation is very poor. It can take 90 minutes to cover the distance you could drive in 20. They have a light rail, but it only goes between downtown and a

JetBrains’ AI offering peaked last year when Junie was briefly better than Codex. Now it’s a wash. Honestly all of this drives me back towards nvim or notepad sometimes. I have had a jetbrains subscription since pycharm came out, and the ki

Most handle this by having release channels. You would `brew set-channel stable/edge`. It annoyed me this week because I only had a few minutes to try elixir 1.20 after the announcement, and brew lagged behind. You can install erl and

Do not use this, I recommend ziglings if anything besides what Loris would say: you have to read code. The builtins don’t even compile in these examples. This is 2 years out of date at least.

Okay, it’s conscious. But can it run doom? I rest my case.

I had the opposite experience. I saw college kids who didn’t know where the F5 key was on the first day write smart matlab and python programs by the midterms. I don’t think I’m exceptional at all. I was always behind and that probably refl

For posterity, parent is correct. The “flying his plane” story is a memeified summary. I did not actually mean that we would have lisp machines otherwise, which was the tell that I was kidding. For others who did not get the joke, Kindall w

Ah. A common (and understandable) misconception. LSD-OS doesn’t enhance anything in the UX, it just removes the filters that prevent you from seeing reality, man. Some confuse this with LDS-OS, which makes the user weirdly and unquestionabl

I am a low-level zig guy right now too. I have been around for a long time, and it’s funny to see arenas come back into vogue as a solution to nearly everything. Arenas are great for avoiding allocations per tick/request/frame&#x2

You point to a better timeline. Sometimes—when desperately alone—I imagine. If only the guy who was destined to close a disk operating system deal with IBM hadn’t been goofing around with his plane that fateful day. We would all be using li

That’s why I have been proposing Nappy McBeers’s Middle-Aged Tap & Blanket Room for over 20 unsuccessful years. “Have a pint, stay a spell. It’ll be our cozy little secret, mate.”

He’s proof that the elites are not mystically smarter than you. Probably dumber.

My dad and my brother use ipad pros for their healthcare business and rarely use laptops. For them, the year of real work happened several years ago. My brother even has a mouse for it somehow.

The first time I had an amp distorted and loud enough to cause feedback (if I wanted to) at band practice was the most magical day of my life. I had heard it a lot in punk and pop-punk to create swells. I improvised my still-favorite solo t

I think you are implicitly invoking Turing completeness as opposed to “fixed-step recipes on a punchcard” as your requirement for something to be considered computing. If a loom had a jump instruction, would you change your mind? (They did

Just don’t take one if another one is operating nearby. If they see another waymo, having passed the insecure emotional Turing test, they get self-conscious and wander the neighborhood backstreets until the other one has dropped off its pas

The only thing I agree with the current US president about is that American Football should be called something else. - Helmetball - Gridiron - Scrimmage - Brain-B-Gone - Turnover (if you are Bo Nix) - Fumblederp - Kicks and Giggles

Ok, so I don’t have an NFL team. I played in high school and like the sport, but find it difficult to be loyal to a color and a logo. I also never watch ads at home on any platform. So. Am I the only one who kind of likes watching the comme

Lock-free queues and 16-core processors exist though. I use actors for the abstraction primarily anyway.

I think of it more like moving from sole developer to a small team lead. Which I have experienced in my career a few times. I still write my code in all the places I care about, but I don’t get stuck on “looking up how to enable websockets

I usually do most of the engineering and it works great for writing the code. I’ll say: > There should be a TaskManager that stores Task objects in a sorted set, with the deadline as the sort key. There should be methods to add a task an

Well. You’d have to demonstrate that a[1] is the first offset in an array, and it’s not a great curb appeal to anyone who has programmed computers before.

You implemented type-checking. For a project this ambitious, I am surprised here. “Generics” should mean that the compiler or interpreter will generate new code paths for a function or structure based on usage in the calling code. If I call

There will be customers even though it is a useless feature tier. Monetizing knowledge-work is nearly impossible if you want everyone to be rational about it. You gotta go for irrational customers like university and giant-org contracts, an
