The trick is to just assert equal types. Most compilers have extensions that allow you to easily compare type equality (and C23 actually standardizes the `typeof()` operator). So you basically take your ugly type, put it in a #define and th

the function signature certainly should be type def-ed. i.e. typedef char (*fn())[5]; and then you have the original as fn x [3];

That's a current wave going through. There's a bit of discourse going on where some users were rage baiting by constantly posting twitter screenshots over to bluesky and people who left bluesky are pushing back about how they don&

If you are looking for stuff from big publishers then yeah it's gonna be a bit slow/empty but there are a lot of small/indie devs on bluesky and it's awesome being able to interact with them directly without all the spam

Obtanium exists for a very specific use case. 1. You have an app you want to use. 2. That app isn't on the google app store or you don't want to/can't use google services. 3. The app is not open source so it can only be

Eh to a certain degree. The architecture of the models is very much control theory and then the training is control system tuning (which of course is an optimisation problem like you said). I would definitely agree that optimisation fits th

Yep. Again, I'm not looking for a perfect global solution. Just some domain specific language for writing sane low-to-no-js web pages or parts of web pages without having to manually fiddle with HTML or CSS in any real amount. Static s

Yep. I'm well versed with static site generators but every one I've ever worked with has been heavily template based rather than being an actual layout engine that map onto HTML+CSS+SVG. i.e. They all require you to still write in

FWIW Retr0id is one of the big community bluesky/AT protocol developers and importantly the person who more or less figured this out (or at the very least brought it to the community's attention). Point being that they were just c

Is there a reason why there seemingly aren't any frameworks to do all the fancy web flourish in a normal language and then have it compile down to plain HTML5 + CSS + SVG?

Yeah machine learning is more or less just very complex application of control theory techniques and notably it is usually done by people without formal control theory backgrounds. Super useful for control applications but obviously you rea

I have to massively disagree here. I'm far more confident about code written in the modern style of C++ than I am in old school C++. Modern C++ with RAII, smart pointers, constexpr, concepts, and heavy instrumentation is so much easier

I have a non-commercial license that I use personally. The appeal of mathematica is that it has a library already built into it for just about everything which lets you quickly prototype and reason about fairly complex cross domain problems
