i'm looking forward to the day calculus gets rewritten using more intuitive notations. Everytime i manipulate dx i feel like walking on a minefield.

How does RAII works in concurrent systems ? It seems to me you need to add compile-time object lifetime evaluation (as in rust) which so far incurs a high toll on language complexity.

A friend of mine , 15 years ago (ios 3), already predicted that the only reason why apple would stash that amount of cash was if they planned on turning into a bank. Hats off to you, my friend !

I think on the contrary, that the number of brilliant people being paid for doing nothing at google is what slows US down compared to china. Only monopoles like google can afford to burn so much cash. And that's a clear loss for the ec

There's really something missing today as opposed to the 80s and 90s : back in the days, you had new computer brands coming out every year, with they own OSs and hardware... It really was a perpetual amazement and joy. Of course at tha

You probably wouldn't also give your letter of resignation with your knees on the floor, asking the boss to "forgive me because i failed you", right ? Yes, japan is a whole different mentality, with a completely different set

don’t remember architects had a truely intricate knowledge of the business metrics. It was more of a technical role.

Recently, i've come to realize one real use of those clouds was to provide a good US-EU network connection. If you want to provide both continent users with correct bandwidth to your service, you have no choice but to have them connect

Your remark raises a question : how much of your daily work is truely original ? Unless you work in R&D i've got some bad news for you..

if value couldn't be produced but only change hands, how do you explain the wordlwide growth of GDP over the centuries ?

Thanks, i was expecting something beyond just the lidar thing. Can you elaborate more about mapping + remote ? I've never tested neither a tesla autopilot nor a waymo (european here). edit : also, are there differences in the core algo

by bsaul 2y ago
Anyone knows whether there are fundamental differences in the approach waymo took vs tesla, or are they following the same algorithms and techniques, with more polishing or experience in the "small details that makes all the difference

i think we’re not talking about the same thing. I’m not saying it’s hard for a experienced software dev . I’m saying it requires a level of skill that is on par with a professional software developer. Meaning this system can already replac

What you describe was my experience (with swift code too, on mobile). Until i tried it with web dev. Then maybe it’s due to the popularity of web tech compared to swift, i don’t know ( I should try it with react native to see), but there is

i think a wide majority of americans are perfectly fine with the way israel responded after oct 7, and that is why the US policy doesn't change. I'm happy a handful of people protesting can't impact a policy, that would be an

i generated the project, then added features, which meant adding new tables , forms, api endoints, navigation. Then asked for subtle changes in the way the fields were edited. At one point i asked it to "make the homepage look a bit mo

by bsaul 2y ago
it's not just boilerplate. I add features and tweak the UX, all this without typing a single line. Granted, i picked a very unoriginal problem (a basic form-oriented website), but we're just at the very beginning. The thing is, on

i'm at my point in my career (20 years xp) where i think every project should be built around pure functions and structs, sorted in modules. And only once you're sure there absolutely no other choices, add a bit of interfaces, c

i've had a first attempt, which was very mediocre ( lots of bugs or things not working at all), then i gave it a second try using a different technique, working with it more like i would work with a junior dev, and slowly iterating on

Sidenote : i recently tried cursor, in "compose" mode, starting a fullstack project from scratch, and i'm stupefied by the result. Do people in the software community realize how much the industry is going to totally transfor

didn't say it was ok to arrest people protesting. Just that it's nothing comparable with non-democratic countries like china or russia. You can protest in front of the white house. Just don't try that in moscow or beijing.

Still nothing compared to china. But nice try.

genuine question (the maths lost me): this seems like a philosophical problem. Did the writing of that dilemma into mathematical language bring any interesting result, compared to using regular english ?

Does jamming over the internet requires special techniques on the musician side ? Whenever i played with my DAW, any kind of hardware latency made it impossible to play correctly. I can’t imagine how that would work with two or more people

How is mojo doing ? Has it made its way as a niche language in some places ?

I don’t know if zig is going to become mainstream, but comptime is such a brilliant yet simple idea (the best ones) that it’s already written its name in the hallmark of programming languages.
