I remember reading the original zig book post and how weird it smelt. Even though it’s LLM written there’s more than a trivial amount of effort put into it. What could anyone possibly have to gain by doing this?

I mean this in the best possible way but your code is not special. Plagiarizers are gonna plagiarize and if not from you then from the other 1000 open-source student-friendly portfolio projects. Career wise you should be building up your Gi

Community is the entire goal. The technology just has to meet some minimum threshold. You know any 13 year olds playing Minetest?

A bloated language means the language has bloat i.e unnecessary features, e.g C++ is a bloated version of C even if you can write the same programs in less code.

Title could have been “Python’s UUIDv7 only has 32 random bits” and just leave it at that. 2500 words to say “if you don’t authenticate access to a url then people can access it” wow shocker

Fair. Python was probably a bad example. I think we need more languages like Go because even with its downsides, for projects that don’t need explicit memory control I’m picking it over rust and zig every time

In theory sure but in practice not really and to say regular citizens have a direct say in specific geopolitical decisions is absurd, given how unpopular many recent decisions have been.

I don't know why anyone would write CLI tools in rust or zig. I/O is going to be your bottleneck way more often than GC, in fact I don't really get the GC hate outside of game dev, databases and other memory intensive applica

This the exact same as the email from the post, but the other way around. Either both normal Iranians are responsible for arming Russians and normal Americans are responsible for sanctions, or neither are. In general I don’t like blaming pe

It's well known Meta AI is shit. But I could probably make an app that can run this demo in an afternoon. The glasses part here is insane and I don't know why everyone is fixated on the tacky AI part. It's like if I invented

I don't think this is a protocol issue, the LLMs simply weren't RLHFed to do that

The original “function colouring” blogpost has done irreparable damage to PL discussions because it’s such a stupid concept to begin with. Of course I want async functions to be “coloured” differently, they do different things! How else is

I meant more like storing closures to be used later after any locals are out of the stack frame, but tbh that's an abstraction that also causes allocations in C++ and Rust. On the other hand, no idea how JS internals work but I know in

Probably misspoke, returning or passing anonymous functions cause allocations for the closures, then calling them causes probably 4 or 5 levels of pointer chasing to get the data that got (invisibly) closed over

It will be like YouTube. Distribution will be hard and most of it will be slop but every now and then you’ll discover something so good and so creative and it couldn’t have possibly existed before that it makes the whole experience worth it

No, GenericWriter takes a function at compile time and it gives you a GenericWriter struct that calls that function (at compile time), no function pointers needed.
