If you have to document 12 wrong ways to use your API that's a sign that it's not well designed. React was a breath of fresh air when it first arrived and I'm grateful to it for rekindling my interest in front end javascript

At least in my circle the people screaming the loudest for his head are the same people that are adamantly opposed to any government regulation of crypto. I think they're just mad that SBF spoiled their get rich quick scheme.

One of the reasons I like Bitwig is that the included instruments are really good and you can use the grid to build just about anything. So I find myself reaching for third party instruments much less. Hopefully this new CLAP plugin format

Bitwig is available on Linux now and works great in my experience. I actually prefer it to Ableton anyway.

The difference is Apple insists on removing most of the user's control over their device, which makes it an ideal target for authoritarian regimes. Android gives you more control and more options.

I can't imagine maintaining a large JS codebase without types now. For places where you really need dynamic typing the any type is there for you. I certainly would never take a job in a pure JS shop.

Chess style and art style don’t seem similar enough to me for this analogy to work. Computers are strictly better than humans at chess in every respect.

One of the most important things that distinguishes great artists is that they have a distinctive, recognizable style. And it takes a lot of hard work to achieve this. I think what makes me uneasy about these AI art generators is that they

C++ codebases are not at all pleasant to maintain. I'm willing to accept a smaller job market in exchange for a much more enjoyable day to day existence.

I used to believe this but in fact I spend a vanishingly tiny fraction of my time shelled into random machines running individual commands by hand. I'd rather optimize for the 99% of my time I spend in an environment I can configure to

I've been working on something similar. It's currently in electron but I'm working on porting it to tauri since I agree that ideally you'd want a music player to be lighter on system resources than electron apps are. So

Vietnamese is similar. Aside from the pronunciation it’s a fairly easy language to learn.

I had to rescue a saga based project that went badly off the rails and it was some of the hardest code I’ve ever had to debug in any language. Code flow was very difficult to reason about and forget about trying to use stack traces.

Growth has to come from somewhere and everyone already has an iPhone. Expecting large public companies to act in anyone’s interests but their own is naive.

I've been hearing similar arguments from lisp advocates for decades but lisp is still a tiny niche in the programming world. Is this because programmers are just slow to catch on to superior technology or because infinite malleability

This may only be the case right now but I find current AI art sits in the uncanny valley. At first glance it looks impressive but after you spend a few hours looking at the output of current algorithms you start to recognize the same quirks

For someone like me that's an experienced programmer but relatively new to Rust, what are some open source Rust projects that could benefit from some help?

Yeah everything was perfect back in my day and there's nothing new under the sun. You kids get off my lawn. I've been coding C/C++ since 1995. I'll take Rust any day, thanks.

I've started working in Rust too and I too find it a tremendous breath of fresh air. It's the first time I've been excited about a new programming language in many years. C++ promised to be a language that was both high perfo

Have you published the code yet? I'm working on a desktop music player too, but using Electron right now because I'm using the browser to play the audio and Chromium supports more formats. https://github.com/milese

I was back on the job market not too long ago and I was stunned to discover how many startups are still using Rails. It's well off the hype peak now but there's a lot more life in it than I supposed.

I would also argue that the productivity delta between something like Clojure vs Python or Javascript or Kotlin is not as high as it was between Common Lisp vs C++/Java 10-15 years ago. So the payoff for a risky bet is not as high. Tha

I've switched to working on other kinds of apps, more rich desktop kinds of apps. I enjoy this a lot more too since most mobile apps are pretty dumb and gimmicky. Of course if you're doing client work you have to build what your c
