The report says that water consumption tripled due to AI datacenters, in 2023! Most of it was on electricity generation to support the datacenters. But that's tripled of water use across all sectors due to datacenter buildout. So n

Hi! Yes, Spritely started Hoot to get Spritely's programs, built on top of Spritely Goblins, to a wider audience. And the network protocol we use / co-designed is OCapN, which is indeed in the family of CapTP languages: https:&#x

Yes! But it's still valuable. How am I understanding your argument at all? I think my friend Jonathan Rees put it best: "Language is a continuous reverse engineering effort, where both sides are trying to figure out what the o

The point is not primarily the court. The court is an example of someplace where we have accountability, but we build accountability mechanisms as foundational to most of our computing. Tracebacks, debuggers, logging, etc. We put enormous r

I think the perspective here is completely wrong. The problem is that people are now building our world around tooling that eschews accountability . Over a decade ago now, I had a conversation with Gerald Sussman which had enormous influen

Wow, sorry, but given how incredibly insecure all the "claw" agent type things are right now, does this really sound wise at all? It sees everything you do, really? What's it gonna do with that data? You don't know. Put

Also a note since there are a number of comments on here about this being a rival for Systemd: Shepherd precedes Systemd by quite a bit! Shepherd was previously known as "dmd", the "daemon for managing daemons", which wa

It may be possible to get Shepherd to work with Hoot eventually! I'm not sure what on earth it would mean though. What daemons would you manage in the browser? But it's indeed a fun idea!

That's almost every article on HN, though. Don't use inheritance, don't use C, use Kubernetes, don't use Kubernetes, etc etc. I suspect the thing that's bothering people in the comments here isn't as much that

Pre-Scheme is an incredible piece of history, largely forgotten and lost to time outside of a very small group that knew about it. Live hackable at the REPL, and yet with static type inference (Hindley-Milner!), compiles to C, no GC? It

Pre-Scheme is one more path to moving away from low level programming being done on top of directly programmed C for one thing, and the revival effort directly ties in by moving Pre-Scheme to be on top of r7rs, an open standard. This opens

Also, I just tried opening with Chrome 125.0.6368.2 on Linux, and things ran fine... I wonder if this is a Chrome on Mac OS issue specifically. Would love to know what caused that, let us know if there's anything in the developer cons
