Yeah the cost of decentralization is so high that you really need to be gaining something from it. I’ve long said that if drugs were legal it would remove most of bitcoins usage. Money is ultimately a reflection of power, and decentralizati

What a great statement, its not that they can't its that they don't want to use it. I really tried to like Julia, wrote it for months, but it misses the mark. I've been working in analytics for 10 years and of everyone I know

Python — no threads, or built in types Julia — odd language R — not a general purpose programming language Most of the data scientist and ml engineers I work with want a new language. So yeah it’s not a bad idea

yeah I keep up with the Linfra group, they are making steady progress. I hadn't seen SmartCore yet but that looks promising. I mainly use tch-rs which are just bindings around libtorch, there are a couple edges wrapping c++ (function o

Right because there are so many great existing options for ML

by yahyaheee 6y ago
Its useful for ML in that it requires so much optimization, that being about to drop down in the same language is incredibly handy. For ML software isn't lagging hardware its the other way around.

It’s pretty ubiquitous among new developers but for working software engineers I think it’s uses are becoming limited. If you need a web server there are much better choices. Data analysis and scripting are about the only places I see it us

I use Rust for ML nowadays and I love it!

There are a lot of people who are somewhere in between these groups and providing a language that goes up and down the stack well would be super useful. I agree it needs to be as simple as python on the high level though, or the data scienc

Yeah Google really messed this up, they had a golden opportunity and they went the wrong direction. Julia would have been better but IMO they should have just created a new language from scratch

It makes things reproducible, and k8s is still containers just not docker

I’m with Q!

I’ve been using the Rust wrapper over torch-lib for deep learning (tch-rs) and I absolutely love it. It’s way easier to use than torch-lib and you get all the performance. Unless c++ makes some major changes I think Rust will gain steam in

So if humans are putting 38 billion tons into the atmosphere every year does this even make a dent?

never in my 10 years of programming a bunch of languages, never done it

by yahyaheee 6y ago
Its sooo many projects, if the argument is that c++ has all these libraries, thats mute, but again the c++ devs just think everything is fine!

by yahyaheee 6y ago
I guess I'll take Rust is my no good "editor" over c++ in a "proper IDE", don't think thats gonna sell most people

by yahyaheee 6y ago
Yea agree, if your looking at it to just understand what writing a CLI in Rust is like, there are a lot of use cases in which a CLI can benefit from performance, but this isn't one of them and he doesn't call that out.
19.
by yahyaheee 6y ago
Yea I would agree, Rust is imperative with some functional concepts baked in like a lot of languages have.

This is the best I can find https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/api-concepts/ there used to be a better doc on this but I can't seem to find it again. Runtime scheme and the k8s machinery

packaging == community and community is the most important aspect of a language. Yes c++ still dominates in accelerated computing but it won't for long. All these conversations I've had with c++ devs have just assured me of its de

In the modern world you should be able to grab things and quickly integrate them and see how they work as your prototyping projects. C++ doesn't conform to this model.

funny, it has all the features of an IDE
24.
by yahyaheee 6y ago
lol "proper IDEs" ok... vscode is one of the most used editors on the market and I seem to be able to produce quality software in a number of languages with it. As for binary dependencies, I'm certain Rust will have that in t
25.
by yahyaheee 6y ago
what? Yes it is, vscode was built to be powered by extensions and they work great. I've been using vscode for the last 5 years for all kinds of languages and have never though to myself "I wish I had an IDE"

It was rarely a single line with C++ when I used it over the last year, moving to cargo it is literally always a single line and I was done. Rust is going to make the C++ community actually look in the mirror for the first time in who knows

by yahyaheee 6y ago
Its really not, even with current libraries, not when you come from languages that have a modern packaging system. This is exemplary of why Rust will win out in the end. The c++ crowd can't acknowledge its shortcomings and fix them in

clickbait Istio is still open source! They just didn't donate it to another organization. Google has done tremendously well building community consensus around a product, getting a bunch of free features from the community, and then up

Cargo works fine with private repositories, and I use it wrapping C++ code and that works fine as well. I use VScode with rust-analyzer and its been a great experience, had an easier time with it than the c++ vscode extension.
