Yes sorry I forgot to mention the king would have been like 70kg max so easier to transport then tonnes of gold.

There is a very awkward episode in Belgium national history, at the eve of WWII, the then minister of finance Camille Gutt, had the foresight to move tonnes of gold from the national bank to America and France but for some reason our king d

That is not what the text is arguing for and it has many good ideas, dropping the abstractions but keeping the test harness is one of them. I've worked on many aspect of programming language implementation through the years and I would

Alright my bad I did not find any info about this, but still they are no longer mentioned as a sponsor.

I love Bun & Zig and this feels a bit like my parent are getting a divorce. I thought it was a bit strange that Bun did not sponsor the Zig foundation while others much smaller companies have.

Man am I getting tired of these articles and we can do without this neurotic melancholic whining. Maybe it is the title of the article that triggered me, but it reminded me of hearing Douglas Murray read excerpts from "The Strange Deat

Interesting, I did not know that colors-of-noice was related to this, what you say sounds conceptually very similar to how Maxwell's demon connects thermodynamics to information theory.

No, it is a hypothesis I formulated here after reading the article. I did a quick check on google scholar but I didn't hit any result. The more interesting question is, if true, what can you do with this information. Maybe it can be a

TS returns a tree with nodes, you walk the nodes with a visitor pattern. I've experimented with using tree-sitter queries for this, but for now not found this to be easier. Every syntax will have its own CST but it can target a general

by FjordWarden 9mo ago
You have to figure this out for yourself in most cases. Tree sitter does have a query language based on s-expressions, but it is more for questions like "give me all the nodes that are literals", and then you can, for example, ren

This is like the difference between an orange and fruit juice. You can squeeze an orange to extract its juices, but that is not the only thing you can do with it, nor is it the only way to make fruit juice. I use tree-sitter for developing

Ah, I think I found the reason as to why WebAssembly (in a browser or some other sandboxed environment) is not a suitable substrate for near native performance. It is a very ironic reason: you can't implement a JIT compiler that target

Polders have personhood in some jurisdictions. The government reclaimed the land from the sea, sold it to multiple people, levies taxes on them and now the dykes need to be maintained. This is just legal fiction, technology developed and ap

After coming down from the shock of learning there are people like you I was even more amazed that one of the founding engineers of Pixar, and a giant in computer graphics, also has this condition. He even did a survey that found his artist

From the paper: Structured State Space Models and Mamba. Models like Mamba [Gu and Dao, 2023] can be in- terpreted within GWO as employing a sophisticated Path, Shape, and Weight. The Path is defined by a structured state-space recurrence,

Wow there is so much spacing after the "of" that I read it as "U.S. Department of space war"

Ok this is worrisome news, but from what I could gather from the article this a novel technique with no historic data. Why can't this be something that the Southern Ocean does?

You don't even need XML anymore to do XML, "thanks" to iXML where you can provide a grammer of any language and have that work as if you are working with XML. Not saying that is a good idea though.

Yes it does: function* greeter() { const name = yield "What's your name?" yield `Hello, ${name}!` } const gen = greeter() console.log(gen.next().value) console.log(gen.next("Alice").value)

Yes, this is what Effect-TS is doing for JavaScript, minus the syntactic sugar, but I don't know if this is a good idea in the end. It reminds me of the Spring framework, DI is also a form of AE, but it spreads like cancer through the
