they understand that weight and efficiency is the only way forward not like Tesla selling 3-ton vehicles that pretend to be green

the only manufacturer that does this right is Aptera, the rest is a bunch of gimmicks / subsidy fraud that doesn't solve any actual problem with cars

really agree with this and I think it's been the general experience: people wanting LLMs to be so great (or making money off them) kind of cherry picking examples that fit their narrative, which LLMs are good at because they produce am

go is the boring language that gets stuff done, perfectly suited for that class of people who care only about outcome

I want to like Zed but two things are still an issue for me: - Zed doesn't know how to highlight XML - I use a theme called FairyFloss which doesn't exist for Zed and Zed doesn't provide anything to import VSCode themes

let's stop justifying this choice from Apple it annoys everyone, it's a dumb design, you get a message from your Mac telling you that the mouse has no charge and suddenly you can't work anymore for a few minutes, it's id

I don't think it's the case, because all those schools of thought (your DRY, your SOLID, your DDD, etc) all have opposite schools of thought rife with other similarly popular mantras the problems in engineering rarely stem from th

they absolutely last way longer than 2000km, unless you never maintain them

it's crazy how we keep going through all those injunctions (religions) about software, they all look amazing on paper, feel like common sense and yet 50 years in, software is garbage 90% of the time yet, we keep bringing this stuff up

I was glad in the past few years to discover that I am not alone in finding Kafka off-putting / way too convoluted

most of the python code that would benefit from goign faster is already written to use libraries written in C anyway, I doubt you would get x1000 out of them like that (I'd be happy to be proven wrong if you have examples though)

so basically performance doesn't really go up or down, it's the same that's good news since 3.13 is merely planting the seeds for further improvements, can't wait for 3.14 and 3.15

the same thing happened in the states and France among other countries, it was a global thing

I'm curious what kind of code gets a 45x speedup by going from python to rust and by that I don't mean the rhetorical or bait-style "i'm curious", no, the literal I'm curious, cause I'm trying to find use

rust is fine, it's a solid mix of performance and expressiveness, it has good constructs and it's gaining traction it's hard to learn so we shall see what kind of niche it can carve for itself, but it's fine

that's a lot of core people leaving, especially since they're apparently so close to a "revolution in AGI" I feel like either they're not close at all and the people know it's all lies or they're seeing so

I wonder, aren't there specific attributes of the Go language that makes it a particularly good fit for things like Docker/Kubernetes?

we need to stop pretending that CSS is awesome though, it's been in use for about twenty five years now, keeps reinventing itself and still fails at simple things (as exhibited in this example)

it doesn't matter than Gemini is crushing the leaderboards because ChatGPT has the fanboys it's basically like Apple at this point, they don't have to be the best

we need to stop pushing that narrative, Comic Sans is merely ONE OF the fonts that are better for people with dyslexia

by VeejayRampay 2y ago
it really is the dumbest-looking font in history, absolutely iconic and unmistakable

people are just way too invested in the OpenAI hype and they don't want people threatening that in any way

there has never been a conclusive study about the actual usefulness of those things, the agile, the scrum, etc. as such, it's more akin to something like litho therapy or astrology, that is what's stressing me out

the vehicle is 1.8T (~ 4000lbs), we don't "need more like this" it can be electric all it wants, it's still way oversized and that has a terrible environmental cost

it seems like the important changes are not really in effect in 3.13 but will kick in a bit later (JIT and all the GIL changes) aside from that, the REPL improvements will be more than welcome, the whole experience is not nice right now

everytime I see PHP and python, it reminds that the best of the three main languages in the "slow / overly dynamic" lane (Ruby) got the short end of the stick for some reason, it's terrible
