All my twitter friends got invite codes through other friends pretty quickly (days or weeks), many people now have such a glut of codes that they're throwing them at whoever asks. I've got like 10 myself and nobody left to give th

It doesn't complicate the onboarding process though, because there's an official client and a default algo. That's Bluesky's whole thing: sensible defaults and easy onboarding, so it can be "just twitter" if yo

It has no overlap with ActivityPub, it's an entirely separate protocol

by brundolf 3y ago
Bluesky is an open protocol

Yeah, I haven't even bothered trying Threads (and don't plan to) Mastodon puts too much onus on the user to pick a home server Bluesky got it right by saying "we're going to be exactly familiar to people who like twitter

The options this creates are super accessible to non-technical people. You can go on the app store right now and take your pick of bsky clients, and you can browse/search different algos from within the app and keep a list of your favo

It's lost the initial momentum but it's not dead yet. I'm still holding my breath that the critical mass makes the leap eventually; "it's just twitter but you can write and use custom clients and feed algorithms&quo

Hmm this has my gears turning These days there's an abundance of public APIs that serve up various public information. What if you took a bunch of those, wrapped them up in a single typed SDK in TS or Python (using their existing SDKs

Yeah. There have been lots of Rust or Go linters popping up with impressive benchmarks, but I don't think any will take over the world until they have drop-in parity

I'm still so bullish on Deno. They iterate quickly, but they also have a clear vision and direction. I've almost completely stopped using Node on personal projects; Deno is the new world I want for non-browser JavaScript. Recent e

And runs more places than ever. I don't really understand the GP's point

LLVM does some optimizations, but compilers that target it normally do their own optimizations before generating the IR, because they know more than LLVM does about the higher-level source language and what can be done with it So eg, you ma

Maybe, but don't underestimate network effects. What's important about wasm is its universality - both where it can run and what can target it - which is already making for a powerful ecosystem of tools and compatibility GCC and c

It's about much more than web browsers at this point, in fact I think its biggest impact will end up being outside of them
195.
by brundolf 3y ago
That would 1. Put more onus for optimization on the converter 2. Mean you can't target as many platforms

I'm surprised hyper-private services like Signal haven't foreseen this as a potential vector and given you options to eg. exclude different details from push notifications (or warned you to disable them altogether if you're w

by brundolf 3y ago
This is totally valid. Lifetimes can be an optimization you go back and add later as needed; in structs, especially, they require a ton of code changes to add and a ton of code changes to change your mind about later, so they should be used

An extra cheeky name might have been "stainless" (steel that doesn't rust) ;)

Most of them use most of the same core idioms you're familiar with from other languages, they just look superficially different because of the syntax (especially the parenthesis placement) Try moving the left parenthesis of each expres

I did it once in an internal UI because we needed to rapidly expose some functionality that could be composed/piped in complex ways and it would take a while to implement a normal UI Was met with skepticism, esp around the engineering&

Yeah that looked like a typo (the exact opposite of what they meant to say)

Nice. So for example, it looks like Kotlin already has a nearly identical feature at the language level, which will be optimizable when Valhalla ships: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/notes&#x2

by brundolf 3y ago
To what degree do these features translate to JVM changes, vs just Java language changes (I know the two are fairly tightly coupled)? Eg will this mean new bytecode/optimizations that could be used to optimize other JVM languages which

+1, as someone whose company has a crappy bespoke cloud setup that's a massive time sink

The important part wasn't having a REPL, it was using a language I already know off the top of my head
208.
by brundolf 3y ago
Yeah, I've always liked the idea of jq but personally I find it easier to open a REPL in the language I'm most familiar with (which happens to be JS, which does make a difference) and just paste in the JSON and work with it there

It seems like the kind of thing a company like Apple could acquire, tightly integrate, and squeeze out a small margin above existing tech on a couple axes (eg. maybe it draws more power but makes room for a bigger battery, or maybe software

Quality (materials, construction) and specs (bandwidth, max wattage) are separate questions. I got the impression wslh was asking about the former
