Python pays the bills. If it was up to me I'd use a different language, but there is no denying that its got a strong story in just about every field now. As I've gotten older, I've come to realize that programming languages

My biggest Issue with Java, is that it isn't streamlined. There are multiple implementations of the jdk that could be used, Many different build systems, etc. The C# ecosystem is smaller for sure, but it is much more streamlined

Let's not forget that the 90 series cards in each generation won't be top end forever. Soon they will just be used cards like all other technology. And someone might be building their first computer, got a good deal on eBay on a 5

I really hope this means that we reign back in the power on these high end cards. 600 what is just too much for a connector like this. 450watts seems much safer (though I wish the spec as a whole had better margins). Nvidia really just trie

I personally find value in having two editors. A light editor like Emacs for writing Markdown, git, quick scripts, and a JetBrains IDE for longer running projects, and debugging. I don't feel the need to wholly replace one with the oth

I’m interested to give this a go because I want to practice reading cursive. I do a lot of longhand writing including writing all my notes in cursive. It’s exciting to watch my binding fill up with all sorts of different subjects! I like to

I think the two main issues from this approach are increased battery usage on mobile devices, and accessibility issues with things like screen readers. I’d recommend giving Flutter a try. It is the easiest way I’ve found to make a cross pla

It's super cool to see the digital unraveling of scrolls become more accessible. It's also amazing that we can still read the text of something that is nearly 2000 years old. One thing I don't understand is the picture of the

I like Lua, but after going all in on Gambit-C^1 for a bit, I'm not sure anything can top its level of integration. Besides compiling to C, it just lets you straight up write C inside of a .scm file. (c-declare #<<c-declare

I'm glad the Python community is focusing more on CPython's performance. Getting speed ups on existing code for free feels great. As much as I hate how slow Python is, I do think its popularity indicates it made the correct tradeo

My biggest issue with C# is that it doesn't have a good cross platform GUI. Maui dev is too slow and lacks a lot of the features a lot of people want, and Avalonia still uses the hybrid axml approach that just feels bad. I wish C# had

Honestly I think the future of languages is strong and sound type inference. Writing Dart, F#, Swift, Crystal, and even modern C# has shown me to varying degrees how good a language can be at type inference, and what the tradeoffs are. I mu
