Hi Michiel! Just a small headsup: clicking on the Leiden Python link in your About Me page give not the expected results. And a small nitpick: it's "Michiel's" in English (where it's "Michiels" in Dutch).

I went with SSR for a new project started 2025Q4. I'm not against React, but when I have to make an SPA (or very interactive component in an SSR app) I much rather use Elm. In order to do the JS that I have to do with an SSR app I went

Indeed. It's weird they write so much with addressing the elephant. So lets discuss it... From the start I thought that the TechEmpower Benchmarks were testing all the metrics the JVM is good at, and non the JVM is bad at (mainly: memo

Which is kind of understandable as Wayland tries to be more secure: and thus in Wayland not all keyboard events are propagated to all applications (that's what X11 does). I think it's a good idea to put security first in this iter

Why to you prefer? I have a different experience, and want to learn. (I'm also hating on TS/JS: but some day some AI will port it to Rust, right?)

So much agreed. I'm constraining my AI, that always wants to add more dependencies, create unnecessary code, broaden test to the point they become useless. I have in mind what I want it to build, and now I have workflows to make sure i

It's a cuban-missle-crisis like moment for Russia. And they act accordingly. I'm not in favor of one or the other: I just notice imperialism when I see it. And Russia+Iran have been much less aggressive than the "allied weste

Sanctions, instigations (admitted) lead to protests that lead to violent crack downs. Yes. Without those sanctions + instigations the crack downs would not be needed. That's beyond obvious to me.

Religious concerns are, IMHO, always a facade for the underlying economic/territorial/geopolitical reasons. These religious facades help sell the war effort: get young men to enlist and fight to the death for "preserving thei

US sanctions, US/Moss instigates, makes the Iranis desparate. Irani regime (that is the result of US intervention decades ago) digs in and toughens up. People die in the streets. Who's to blame? The Irani regime? C'mon... It&

And inflicted less damage than the fire bombing campaigns on civ pop centers that were carried out along side the A-bombs. The A-bombs were not the worst part of the attack on Japan. And thus were not "needed to end the war". They

You already agreed that he said it. So funny how you twist and turn in order to believe the narrative you were force fed. I'm anti the rushed out, badly tested, mRNA treatment. It's not a vaccine. Believe as you wish.

Why you call people critical of the mRNA-jab to be "anti vax"? I'm not against all vaccines, just the mRNA treatment that was rushed out and pushed on us was a giant fraud. The word "anti vax" is part of the campaig

Dunno man. When enough people overweight, 1-2 alcoholic drink become healthy (alcohol is a blood thinner): this happened, but as we know now it's not true.

You revert to calling names... It's a clear sign of losing imho. Oh and this picture proves your whole story is, what others here have already pointed out, your "gut feeling" promoted by you as the "science". https

You say: > No, he did not Then you continue saying he did say it, but explained himself later (after it came out) in a way that makes his earlier statement void. "Plausible deniability" I'm not anti-vax, I'm critical.

It does not "run" anything: it halts. :)

I agree, I'd not call this a kernel. It does not allow any software to be run on top of it. It just prints text to screen and halts. Even saying it "runs" on QEMU is a far stretch: it "halts", that's all it doe

Very weird comparison. GPL was made in response to restrictive commercial licensing. Yes is uses the same legal document (a license): but is made in response! So is propriety seizes to exist, then it's not a problem GPL also seizes to

Zig's comptime is an addition. You don't have to use it. And some C-macros may translate quite cleanly to it. OTOH going from C++ (OO) to Rust (not OO, borrow checker) is a big leap.

I like that I can easily smell bad Zig by looking at it, but I'm notoriously bad at smelling bad C.

I don't think Rust is "a better C/C++". It's a new kind of beast. Interesting, but very different. Zig OTOH is clearly, to me at least (opinion alert), a "better C". It even compiles C! I expect LLMs to be

Any place I can see an example of that? (just a gist or pastebin entry of some a non-critical code copy-pasta would suffice)

I prefer bit more type-safety. JVM/Kotlin/Jdbi + PG for me.

No more ORMs, not even query builders, ... When it comes to Postgres I want to write the sql myself! There is so much value. Supabase helps when building a webapp. But Postgres is the powerhouse.

I get the feeling that Oracle is abandonning MySQL. Let's all hope Ali will pick it up :) I'm fully invested on Postgres though.

Super cool project. I expect a lot of C code may be quite mechanically translated to Zig (by help of LLMs). Unlike C->Rust or C->C++, where there's more of a paradigm shift.
