I have worked with wasm in the browser in production. Yes, there are many issues, yes I have some critiques of the multithreading proposal, but in the long run portable workers solve lock-in.

Your right, but all of this will drive WASM adoption. I'm fine with papering over incompatibility as long as the costs continue to go down.

I'm working on fixing that ;) Unfortunately we don't yet have covariant associated types, so my GC is a pain to use. In all seriousness, I'm not sure if Rust will ever be a great fit for abstract high level programing. The sy

Absolutely, that's one of the reasons I may buy a first generation Apple product.

I'm not comparing on the basis of TDP. I'm comparing performance/dollar. I fully expect Apple's higher end, higher TDP chips to achieve better performance. But they will cost more money. Like it or not the M1 is competin

A similarly priced Zephyrus G14 Ryzen 9 4900hs scores 1246/11006 (1). I still may buy a M1 system, but I was hoping Apple would start competing in price/performance. [1] https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-amd_r

This article quotes the base model pro SSD as 512GB. This is incorrect. Both models start at 256GB.

That is what I mean by active cooling.

by Avi-D-coder 6y ago
Air vs Pro, is the benchmark to look for. I'll be interested to know how much active cooling and binning real do for Rustc or LLVM compilation times.

At what point can we stop pretending most universities prepare you for the job market? If your a professor that cares about Google give a rapid oral exam. If your a college professor giving multiple choice or other memorization based format

Zig is attempts to be a C replacement candidate, like Rust. What would make Rust or Zig a valid replacement in your opinion?
47.
by Avi-D-coder 6y ago
Zig, Nim, Crystal, Go and Swift all use C libraries extensively. Nim and Zig even make lower boiler plate C inter-op a key selling point. Mozilla, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple and other's investments in Rust, clearly demonstrate the value

There will always be unsafe and often be C dependencies. There is no community goal or plan to do away with unsafe. Until we have an easy to use fully dependent and linearly typed language, there will be some degree of unsafety. Even if Idr

Interestingly for the Rust GC I'm working both Drop and finalizers will be supported. Do you happen to offer beat the programmer with a stick as a service?

Yes it does, I mostly use pocket for tts, but the ui is worse. If you use android's local you can only skip forward and backwards 15 seconds, and it frequently loses your place if you pause it. @Voice allows you to tap on the text to s

by Avi-D-coder 6y ago
Pocket and @Voice apps tts. @Voice allows you to jump through text by double tapping and supports more sites and formats (PDF, etc.), but pocket manages your article list so much better so I use pocky 90% of the time. Pockets uses a readerm

GPT2 is known to be unable to track and bind variables, scaling purely associative models beyond the trivial examples is going to be difficult or more likely impossible. This will end up being a better tabnine. Models like GPT2 are still ju

We don't just write generics over types of strings ([Char], Text, etc..) we write over Semigroups and Monoids. Concatenation with <> is standard practice.

Intuitively it it feels like that should make swing faster, but experientially swing feels heavy and slow. Is swing poorly optimized, is it due to being in Java? I'm not a UI dev and have not thought about it much.

How is Swing closer to native than DOM?
