Imagine a committee of 10 people granting funding to a firm to commercialise NFTs of digital fashion where the owner of the company is also a member of the committee. The company isn't even a real company but a general partnership with

I am just a simple web developer and I found this stuff interesting. Learning about array programming has taught me the importance of combinatorics and its possible application to GPU programming. It is just the first chapter in a series of

If you don't like twitter, here is the paper, it discusses a hybrid approach for calculating mathematical expressions by combining symbolic and analytical methods: https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3385

I don't find WebComponents a good replacement for what in other web frameworks are called components. For one thing they don't support complex values like Objects and Arrays as attributes. The amount of boilerplate you have to wri

WebMonkeys feels a bit like array programming, you create buffers and then have a simple language to perform operations on those buffers. HVM is one of the most interesting developments in programming languages that I know off. I just don&#

You can access the gpu without a browser using Deno[1] (and probably Node too if you search for it). Not to be patronising here, but if you are looking for something that makes 3D/GFX/game programming easier without all the paraly

I thought that the Milky Way was to the ancient Egyptians a representation of the Nile and that the great pyramids are the band of stars in Orion. Maybe that is a cooky theory but not that unlikely that a perplexed person from 4000 years ag

Are you a teacher and/or someone that runs spelling bees or otherwise someone that has done the proper statistics to distinguish this correlation with generalised intelligence. Just wondering where you get this anecdata from?

That is a surprisingly honest admission. It is one of the under/un-adressed problems with the "algo" based social media platforms, at some level you realise it is hacking your limbic system but you can't really do anythi

The SolidJS ecosystem is smaller but generally has more high quality libraries and more integrated. Take a look at Solid Primitives: https://primitives.solidjs.community/

Dunno, at least not for me. But is it not dubious that literally the one font that everyone has been conditioned to dislike through the power of memes is then magically the one that then must be helpful for dyslexics? Like why not any one o

I did some more thinking on this. Font technology like this could be useful for a better stylo + touch-screen interface where the handwriting is translated to real characters while still having the same visual quality of the handwriting. Yo

I've always enjoyed watching The Art of Code[1], Freya[2] also has a good number of videos on it. But that is just vertex shaders for things like Shadertoys. There is much more to computer graphics or GPGPU than this though, Im still l

There was an article on this website not so long ago about using CRDTs for collaborative editing and there was this silly example to show how leaky this abstraction can be. What if your have the word "color" and one user replaces

But it does support json for config files, you can even upload them to and endpoint to change your config at runtime. Dunno if it has a schema.

I think that array languages have historically used memory mapped files for IO, and treat them like a big data frame, but other versions also support streaming IO. Its up to the implementers of the runtime to use SIMD instructions if they d

I've only played around with k and APL in my spare time so I can't speak to real world problems. It is a ridiculously powerful query language, where in SQL you have only started writing `SELECT ...`, in k you are already done. But

If you expect Jena to be more battle-tested because it is older, forget it, if the process is killed by a unexpected shutdown or some other reason it results in data corruption. At least this was my experience a few years ago. I found graph

I understand, but what if I want to use the enums the way they are used in C, as a label for a number, probably as a way to encode some type or another. Sum types of literal numbers are not very practical here because the labels should be p

How is this different from the Durable Promises idea by ResonateHQ? It seams to me a bitter easer to get started with as a small standalone project. Would you mind comparing this solutions to that?

Maybe homology can help, it is a sort of calculus for discrete structures where you count how many N dimensional hole there are over time. Dunno about NN but that is what they can do with fMRI.
