Not sure what problem you think this is solving, but you can do the same in every language ever with a simple semaphore. Number of permits represent the channel buffer size.

Nothing necessarily wrong with that code, but it also kinda smells. Why even store it as bfloat16 at all? You risk getting the numerical disadvantages of both float16-representation, and none of the advantages.

Even with your disclaimer, Tiobe is useless, even as a vague indicator of anything. It ranks Prolog as having higher market share than Typescript for christ's sake, stop poisoning your brain with that snakeoil shop.

While those influences are important to Rust's history, they were mostly removed from the language before 1.0, notably green threads and the focus on channels as a core concurrency primitive. Channels still exist as a library in stdlib

I totally agree that Go is best suited outside of systems programming, but to me that always seemed like a complete accident - its creators explicitly said their goal was to replace C++. But somehow it completely failed to do so, while simu

Might be an issue of software support, it just "feels" easier to have two monitors instead of using one monitor as two. Related: what's your window management setup?

Totally agreed, I always assumed leetcode was primarily used as a proxy for IQ, with the added benefit of testing basic coding competence.

For sure, competing on costs is GlobalFoundries' entire business model at this point, and it seems to be working well for them. I'm not sure Intel is able to make that transition though, they'd have no choice but to manufactu

TinyGo is not Go, it's more accurate to see it as a dialect rather than a separate Go implementation imo. Many packages (even the stdlib) don't compile under it, and as I understand it, certain language features involving runtime

It's not an exact comparison, but at work we have tons of Go apps running in Docker containers with a 50MB memory limit. For lighter workloads, it works just fine.

Their main motivation seems to be CI, where people often lint the entire repo on every PR.
259.
by sapiogram 3y ago
Yes, because you lint everything in CI. Otherwise, linter warnings will start creeping into your codebase immediately, and the tool becomes much less useful.

I do appreciate that he linked previous years' prediction at the bottom. Predictions are still too vague to be falsifiable even with hindsight, but it's a start.

That doesn't exclude sodium batteries as a factor. Quite the opposite imo, since that technology is also highly speculative.

Was it <10% at peak price as well?

I don't find it clickbaity at all. I mean, it makes it sound like the price of lithium dropped massively, but isn't that exactly what happened?

You won't be able to do much astronomy with a smartphone camera mounted to a cubesat, unfortunately. It would be very cool, but not useful.

Well, sometimes. God help you if your project needs to use TLS, for instance.

The primary source of the 3 magnitude dimming is this data: https://www.asteroidoccultation.com/2023_12/1212_319_82912_S... It seems to be based on a very crude estimation, see the data near the bottom. It estimates
