You can all raise your eyebrows and appeal to authority all you want. Doesn't change the fact that as soon as I want to write a tight (or not so tight) loop to do something that is not covered by all these (undoubtedly great) libraries

Again, I am extremely well aware of all of this. You assumed too much.

I know all of these facts. Doesn't mean it is how it is for the right reasons, and even if it is, it does not imply that it is a good way to teach.

How so? Since when is Python a good language for numerical computation? What if the reader wants to try something that cannot be achieved by plumbing canned C++? They are out of luck I guess. Good job teaching the sloppy semantics of a scri

I mean, what happened to "use the right tool for the job"? There is Rust, C++, Julia, D, and certainly many more. Are they hard or what? Are they harder than mastering the math and algorithms that are relevant to an LLM? The code

I guess it wouldn't sell shit if it used a language suitable for this type of work.

The latest Myst and Riven remakes are fantastic. The puzzles are the same, the environments are wonderfully made and the atmosphere is there 100%.

And even within the box the energy levels can be varied continuously if, for example, you squeeze the molecule or put it in an electric field.

Too much fuss with community hacks to maybe get stuff working and end up having wasted time in any case. There is too much garbage to deal with in modern computing already. And some features are just not available with or without hacks. I

I think the front page is curated, while "new" is where you go to see the "autopilot" ranking.

Genuinely not sure whether you are joking or not. The thing is, I do not need a debugger very often, but when I need it, I need it. I also have no idea what kind of code people "write" that they can rely on A.I. so much. I have fo

Identifiers are super important and should be chosen wisely, but a C program with English identifiers is still a C program, while an LLM prompt is in fact NL and a whole new layer of that between your brain and the bytes. Which is why I thi

Bad take. Identifiers are just labels.

Interesting. So, do you know what they'd choose now if they started over? SystemVerilog?

It sounds like you don't even know what these words mean.

I'd hate to be that poor little bastard, having to run 200 bullshit instructions for each useful one. I'd probably just output a middle finger somewhere and halt forever.

Gnome supports this too, and I think lots of other Linux window managers as well. I miss it on Windows.

It would help if you read the definition of a category. It is very abstract but also pretty simple with just a couple of axioms. An example of a category is the "sets and functions" category. In that category, every conceivable se

Doctors are humans too though and you can't just ask them to gas and mutilate perfectly healthy people so easily. Not what they signed up for.

But if you write a + b and the result is wrapped around or saturated, it's not integer addition. It's something else and should be written in another way in code and have a different name. I am aware of modular arithmetic. If you
