That's my view too. I love what people are doing with this stuff. I really want to get a decent rig to start doing this stuff locally someday.

It's very surprising to me that the state of the art tools for data entry and digitizing still require a lot of supervision. From the article it's not that surprising that handwritten documents are harder for old-school OCR or AI

This might not be bad as long as Astral is allowed to continue to work on improving ty, uv and ruff. I do worry about they'll get distracted by their Codex job duties though.

Kind of looks like like Minecraft if it was built out of Voxatron. (millions of Little destructible cubes) seems like a very very difficult thing to do at that scale. On top of that making a engine and a language. This guy must have interes

It's says: >the reference implementation from Physically Based Rendering (Pharr, Jakob, Humphreys) I'd like to know a little about the process you went through for the port. That book * sounds like an excellent resource to star

As someone who currently uses dabbles in both. That prediction seems a bit unrealistic. Julia is a fantastic language but it has some trade offs that need to be considered. Probably the most well known is `time to first x`. Julia like Pytho

I remember the creator of Kaiju engine stating something about C++ compilers producing slower code with C-style C++.

I like the idea of a DSL for scraping but my scrapers do more than extract text. I also download files (+monitor download progress) and intercept images (+ check for partial or failed to load images). So it seems my use case isn't real

I had to look up what KDL is and what `Functional Source License, Version 1.1, ALv2 Future License` is. So KDL is like another JSON or Yaml. FSL-1.1-ALv2 is an, almost but not really, open source license that after a 2 years becomes availab

Interesting. I wonder if this technique can be used to aid c decompilation in tools like Ghidra.

I've been looking into UI libraries lately like Qt and Slint and wondered why they chose to create a DSL over just using css, html and a little bit of js. But I imagine C++ generation from a small DSL is easier than js.

Very Impressive. Still, like many ricing setups, looks like it would be prone to breakage. Also, I don't have 2 GPUs. If it ever gets packaged into a complete system installable via apt instead a bunch of loosely connected scripts I wo

Flatpak can be pretty buggy with Wine I've had some programs misbehave cause it to eat up all my ram when using bottles for instance.

Yeah it's a call to action to improve the tooling but it's not the first one I've seen. Tooling really is under focused in many areas. It would be nice if every language and library had a great working repl and a Jupyter Lab

This is really great. I don't do ML stuff. But I some mathy things that would benefit from running in the GPU so it's great to see the Web getting this. I hope this will help grow the js science community.

I love C and Assembly and I'm impressed by the things people can build in those languages and often (not always) I can understand the code written in it. It's also true that code written in it is available to every other language.

Zig hasn't even had it's first release yet. And projects written in it still break in new releases. Given their stance on boringness and maturity it would make no sense for Sqlite to consider zig yet.

I've been using vscodium with basedpyright as I've thought it was supposed to be a open source version of pylance. I've got to say it's annoying about type errors and after changing it's setting to be less strict it

Awesome work! I like the idea of being able to quickly make little tools in your IDE. Coincidentally, lately I have been thinking of making an IDE using something like Theia or CodeMirror but am holding off because of time for my other proj

That sounds nice. I agree, not having a UI editor making apps is a step back. However, you seem to be discussing mostly in past tense. Maybe one day something like Lazarus or Avalonia would catch up but today I feel that Electron is best at

This is really cool. Looks like it has a way for me to use my own dynamic linker and glibc version *. At some point I've got to try this. I think it would be nice to have some tools to turn an existing programs into a zapps (there many

Care to link to those? I looked and all I found was this: https://github.com/DevelopmentCool2449/visual-emacs Which didn't really impress me terribly much.

I like this idea and know at least a few who would love to use this if you can solve for the: 'unfortunate rough edges that people only tolerate because they use WINE as a last resort' Whether those rough edges will ever be ironed

Thanks, it's been so very long since I've tried emacs. I remember I didn't like how it looked. So I used vim instead. (There was no vscode back then.) So I never did give it much of a try. Emacs might be a solid editor choice
