I think the issue of file-watching is that the libs usually support multiple implementations (with different tradeoffs and with multiple fallbacks) for file-watching with a lot of them being platform specific.

Am I the only one who doesn't like atomic commits (or stacked PRs like graphite)? When I work on large PRs I often rewrite and move things around so much that trying to keep all commits in sync is a nightmare. I do try to split the wor

The fact is that dependency jungle is the prevalent way to get shit done these days. The best the runtime can do is embrace it, make it as performant and safe as possible and try to support minimum-dependency projects by having a broad std

Even setting up your automated tests on multiple platforms can cost a ton of money on CI infra alone. Besides increased server costs some architectures cost a lot more to rent on cloud-CI systems ( cough macOS) and setting up the local inf

oh wow, I was very wrong, I don't know why I got this notion that electron shared the runtime environment between non-browser and browser code. Thanks for the clarification. I am pretty disappointed about this, it severely limits the u

What you really want is to get a reference to those SharedArrayBuffers in the native code like you can do with WASM

From my understanding the main difference between electron and other WebView Containers (besides built-in APIs) is that electron runs your nodejs code in the same process as your browser code. So there is no cross-process communication, tru

You use touchscreens to turn on your headlights because it is cheaper, touchscreens and embedded SoCs are so cheap these days that adding one to your car (as long as it is rectangular) is tons cheaper than wiring multiple buttons on your da

All this immutability discussion is more about going against "old school object orientation" which promoted keeping state spread out around a lot of mutable object instances.

Sorry I missed a () there console.log(eval(text)())
822.
by DanielHB 2y ago
This behavior is required because eval exists: function test(text) { const a = 1 function inner() { console.log(eval(text)) } inner() } test("() => { return a }") prints 1 to the console This h

I dunno, I have been around and I never seen an on-prem infra being more reliable than your average cloud. The only difference is that when on-prem goes down you can shout to your infra engineers, when cloud goes down you shout at your ente

It is pretty complicated for the average person to install custom certificates on their OS. I didn't even knew that BankID supported it, pretty much every one uses the app.

Sweden solved this problem years ago with BankID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BankID It is amazing what a little cooperation between public and private institutions can achieve. It is the only way to login and 2fa to

Yeah, this is what I was thinking too. The rebalancing on AVL is a bit tricky but once you grok it, it is not that much code...

> Later I looked at AVL trees... and they still give me a headache. Why? From what I remember AVL trees were much easier to implement than B-trees. Especially if using recursion.

I think it is because CS is such a broad field, every little nook has a ton of different algorithms to study and, like you said, it is not that hard to tell students to implement algorithm X as projects. While my EE roommates would often ju

Apple does and other big tech are just an acquisition away from being able to do it as well. In fact if memory serves me right Apple in-house chips were originally derived from an acquisition. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft or Go

Yeah I agree with you, if you see these programmers doing very advanced stuff they often have degrees in physics and the like. The hardest problems in CS today are all very math-focused. The original quote from the OP was about why Lisa Su

It has huge implications because it makes competing in that market much harder due to licensing issues. Intel and AMD have a duopoly on the x86 market which compromises a huge chunk of server and personal computing, but that is changing fas

No I did not read it, we just arrived at the same conclusions although you were a bit earlier than me to realise this. What opened my eyes was the easy of transition to the ARM-based macs. I fully agree with all your points and that has bee

Even if that is the case and they can just port their designs to ARM they will still be facing much more competition, not only from Qualcomm but also from the cloud vendors in the server space (AWS, Azure, GCP). All the cloud server hardwar

by DanielHB 2y ago
In my point of view AMD is going down not because nVidia, but because of ARM and Qualcomm. AMD Ryzen x64 cash cow is going to start declining soon both in the server and consumer space. I saw this clear as day when M1 Macbooks came out and

Most bachelor's and master's level CS is comparatively easier than EE because EE requires much more hard math. The theory at least, but project-wise CS is more demanding. I had two EE roommates in college, their exams were HARD, b

Also CUDA first released in 2007, I remember researching GPUs at the time and wondering what the hell CUDA was (I was a teenager). They were VERY early to the party and has A LOT of time to improve. Everyone is catching up to ~10 years of a

That sounds fun, I designed the instruction set on my CPU myself and I didn't get around writing a compiler for it (I only wrote an assembler). Since I designed the instruction set I made some very quirky design decisions to make the t
