The sad thing for me is that Notes’ core data model was really solid. As a rapid internal app dev platform it was ahead of its time in many ways. E.g. Microsoft’s sharepoint and power apps still cannot compete in terms of capabilities. IBM

the Eclipse version still had the old DLLs underneath with just a rather superficial Java layer put on top. JVM wrapping compiled C code, yay....

WP plugins are why I banned it everywhere. Last time I used it was many years ago, so not sure it still applies, but back then even caching was done in a plugin, without which it was unusably slow… just no.

exhibit B: Chris Roberts. pretty sure this guy needs a studio counterpart that gives him limits, or else nothing ever gets actually finished.

wouldn't a cell deficiency lead to it depleting also the magnesium levels in the blood, simply based on osmosis?

it wasn't meant as a rebuttal, I'm genuinely asking. tailscale + headscale was just recommended to me, hence that's what I'm using for self hosting. is wireguard's client roughly equivalent to tailscale's? espe

Why not tailscale plus head scale for self hosting?

and that's exactly the point: regulations absolutely need to change, just like gun laws in the US.

a) most people where I live are renters. property prices make it so. b) in many if not most places (in Northern Europe), AC requires a permit, is very hard to get approved or even forbidden.

That last point for me is crucial. That's why the comparison IMO holds - a mostly preventable cause of death, ignored for political reasons.

Cost is one thing, time is another. You’d need massive investment in trade education and then wait 20 years. See vocational education in German speaking countries as an example.

I keep looking around and not finding any, so let me just try here before someone just takes it and slopifies it: * built-in multidimensional arrays with efficient storage. * related to this: built-in array intrinsics ``` real, dimension(10

I take it you probably never tried to use any of these languages for HPC. Without a language standard, you have two options there to compile decently performant executables: (1) compiler pragmas, (2) give up and drop to assembly code. I sho

It's a bit confusing to me why they'd make this 'fast' version the default, as it appears to be much more expensive than Composer 2. Wasn't it supposed to be a very cheap alternative to SOTA models?

Tangential, but in our opinion corporate PPTX automation is an unsolved problem, even with Claude for PowerPoint (and it's worse with everything else common out there). Its harness (a) is not tuned very well for corporate use and (b) e

here I think it's less about "poverty" (non-US acedemic budgets are still high, though not in the same sphere), but it's about having red tape when it comes to software. My experience doing a PhD in Japan was: Everything

To me it just boils down to using the right tool for each job. I definitely wouldn’t use Fortran for anything heavily using strings. One weakness is also the lack of meta programming support. But for numerical code to be run on a specific h

So that's where the intent system comes in (an argument can be in/out/inout) as well as the built-in array sizes, because it allows you to express what you want and then the compiler will enforce it. In Fortran you kinda have

e.g. the climate models that could be run on some of these systems would dwarve anything we’ve been able to do so far.

btw. Fortran is implicitly behaving as "restrict" by default, which makes sense together with its intuitive "intent" system for function/subroutine arguments. This is one of the biggest reasons why it's still s

I think it depends on how strong the compression advancements are going to be, such that much can be done locally in the future. I'd be interested in experiences of others here in using Gemma4, which is at the forefront of "intell
