Ah, thanks, I wasn't aware of that. That won't prevent me from bragging, as we released Opalang 1.0 in 2011 :)

That's more or less a dynamically-typed version of what we had with Opalang ~15 years ago and it worked great. Happy to see that someone else has picked the idea of sending capabilities, including server->client calls!

Good point. That being said, at least in C++, undefined has been used largely as a joker for compiler optimizations. In Rust, if my memory serves, having the same code produce different results depending on the optimization level would be c

Maybe? What we're discussing is clearly beyond my ability to grasp (macro-)economics.

For context, it's called "an effect system". IIRC, these were developed in the 80s-90s, but as far as I know, OCaml is the only industrial language that offers any kind of support for effects.

We live in an economy that is highly virtualized, where the same unit of currency can be used several times simultaneously to borrow, lend, re-borrow, etc. so I'm not sure it's that simple.

Hey, ages ago, as an intern, I have been flagged for BitTorrent downloads. As it turned out, I was downloading/sharing Ubuntu isos, so things didn't escalate too far, but it was a scary moment. So, I'm not using BT at work an

I remember some estimates made after the US elections of what Stephen Miller's policy would cost. According to these estimates, following Miller's plan would require more or less the entire world's GDP to be invested in the U

I'm not sure about this one. However, what I'm almost sure of is that neither the US-Japan Trade Deal nor the US-EU Trade Deal that Trump and WH announced loudly a few months ago were actual deals – they were essentially handshake

Am I the only one who notices that "Technology Prosperity Deal" would be a really good name for, say, a tech dominion over a distant, formerly powerful country, in any cyberpunk near-future fiction?

Note that, in compiler lingo, unspecified and undefined are two different things. C++ is specified to death, but full of undefined behavior (and also some unspecified behavior). Rust is largely not specified, but aims to have no undefined b

I remember that the idea was to provide kernel-level support for better non-blocking I/O for M:N schedulers. I don't remember the details.

That probably depends on whether vibe coders do learn from the experience. I guess we'll see.

I agree with you. There is an advantage to being first on market, but the "damn the consequences" part is very much VC-fueled. Start-ups going to market (and failing) as fast as possible is very much in the financial interest of t

I had a friend exploring expanding the Solaris kernel to provide M:N scheduling to applications, back in the late 90s. I guess kind of a predecessor to Grand Central Dispatch on macOS?

English hardly my first language and I can read it without difficulties, so I'm not sure it's such a bad excerpt.

Seems to me that that is equally true and doesn't remove any validity from the argument.

That's... an interesting point of view. I personally find functional programming languages, including Rust, much clearer than C or Go, in particular because you can offload much information onto the compiler. The example of Serde feels

Alright, we're doomed. (writing this as someone who works in quantum)

Quantum AI is definitely an existing research topic. Not aware of Quantum Blockchain just yet, though.

If I recall correctly, the main selling point of Firefox AI is that it's offline by default, which means that it doesn't rack up your token bill and doesn't expose your data.

Of the future? We already have people praying to the machine gods, so I guess your future is next week?

I'd have to disagree. We're much less ambiguous than math. In fact, according to theory, we're writing executable proofs.

Yeah, it's great that the C++ community starts to take safety in consideration, but one has to admit that safety always comes as the last priority, behind compatibility, convenience, performance and expressiveness.
