Honestly I think you could go a long way with default evil mode, and updated documentation with evil keybindings in mind.

As a developer it’s support for more programming languages and tooling. As well as rallying behind semi modern hardware like the Framework laptop. I’d love to be able to put FreeBSD on a Framework and have the WiFi work right off the bat.Th

Since most people can’t run these LLMs locally, I wonder what a model would look like where we have hyper tuned models for specific purposes, IE a model for code, a model for prose, etc. you have a director model that interprets what downst

Apple never set out to create Swift. Chris partner worked on it for fun in his spare time, and when he realized it could go somewhere he went through the channels to get it turned into an official project. With that being said it was tailor

I can't speak to that personally but I found an article^1 that goes over using flutter with C++ and another that goes over debugging C++ with flutter^2. Flutter also has a template project that includes scaffolding for building C/

TBH for the GUI work I do, Flutter has been fantastic. Really great developer experience with hot reload and hot restart even on Linux. It’s a great technology and I think more people should give it a try

I'm still not understanding the switch to Rust other than for education (which is fine). All of the things you get from Rust with memory safety you get in Julia with the Garbage Collector?

Apple is probably only interested in doing things that elevate their brand by making it feel more premium. But if they wanted to, they could focus really hard on increasing Swift adoption by making the tools a lot better and porting Xcode o

I really hope that Julia catches on. It feels like it solves a lot of pain points Python programmers have, while still being Data Science focused. It just needs to continue to grow its ecosystem

I totally get using Swift in this context considering their heavy emphasis on C++. From my personal experience, Swift still feels like the early days of Open source .NET/Mono. You will definitely experience the growing pains of being a

Another good documentation choices is Racket’s scribble^1. I like that you can embed Racket code directly into the text, and the language oriented programming of Racket means the syntax is more ergonomic than other systems. There is also po

Does anyone know if an effort to get Guile to run in Windows without wsl. I feel like guile is the only other scheme with an ecosystem to rival Racket, but I’d love it if I could support Windows users as well

Regardless of the impetus of this, I'm happy to see a 8/10 repair score. I think we've proven that thin and light and repairable are a false dichotomy. I don't expect every manufacturer to go Framework levels of repairab

My biggest issue with QT is that there aren't really any bindings for different languages. I'm not a big fan of GTK but it's nice that most popular languages have bindings in it. I was able to get pretty far with the C# gtk b

I'm a big fan of the idea of Swift as a cross platform language general purpose langauge, but it just feels bad without Xcode. The Vscode extension is just okay, and all of the tutorials/documentation assumes you are using Xcode.

This is true for everything now a days. People collect limited edition things speculating they will be collectibles in 20 years, they jump on new programming languages and try to develop the first libraries so their name can be attached to

For the work that I do (which is mostly rag with a little bit of content generation) GPT 3.5-turbo-0125 with a 16k context window is the sweet spot for me. I started using the api when it was only a 4k context window, so the extra breathing
