I am also working on a programming language with that no hidden behavior philosophy at the forefront (along with a few other things), but radically different on everything else, so I may have a few design choices to question. I think that y

I think they are saying that the US is required to pay less than the EU? But that's not true based on what I can find anyway, https://app.23degrees.io/view/j4luMuv8fnpO2frL-bar-grouped-v...

I want to highlight that maybe today, big conglomerates are rare, but this is also because during the late-20th century, the trend was to break up conglomerates to increase competitiveness and improve financial performance of companies by f

Correct me if I am wrong, but your algorithm looks to me like it would work fine with posits? You would just get a NaR value instead of both NaN and inf, because div-by-zero and sqrt(-) both yield NaR (the difference here with floats is tha

And that's the whole reason why Wero has been made I think. It's because the ECB wants to advance on their digital euro plans due to sovereignty concerns, and I think this push is to dismiss that argument.

The compiler has been written by a lot of very smart people, it is very well tested and sometimes has even been formally proven to output exactly what the language specifies, and I have a mental model of what the code it outputs does in rel

And you are wrong to think that in my opinion, chip manufacturing in Europe was huge 25-30 years ago (there was high-end memory chips manufacturers, high-end GPU manufacturing and cutting edge nodes in Europe at the time).

Actually there are more if you count the ones which are not at the cutting edge but your point still stands, most high-end silicon companies only do design.

ARM design IP blocks, they can make their own CPU (and now they are making one), eevn though that means competing with your customers.

In general, in Europe there is research infrastructure that I think could be used at a medium scale for important applications (but I am not a professional). There is the NanoIC research line at imec (2nm), CEA-Leti incomming 7nm FD-SOI pil

My main interaction tool with the system is the pointer. Reaching out for the keyboard is something I do when I want to type, but for example when I am consuming content on my computer I just keep a single hand on the mouse or the trackpad.

I would like someone to explain me Go. Really, I will use strong words but that's really what I feel. The syntax changes a lot from the C one, and I can't see any reason for it. To me, it looks unstructured, with the lack of colon

Sorry I have a question that is a little off-topic: what's the value of generating an image of a laptop on a desk? That's not like it's particularly relevant, when you could have integrated a screen shot of your set-up (like

I don't know either what they meant, but for comparison NumWorks calculators are clocked at 216 MHz (100 MHz for the older models, and 550 MHz for some of the latest ones, but not everywhere), so it doesn't look that much out of t

100% agree with you on that one. And while we are it, now that we live in the computer age, why aren't we huffman-coding the whole language? that would be heck of a lot quicker instead of all slowing down to help the bunch of illiterat

Yes, but that's assuming that there should be a free electricity market. The fundamental issue with electricity markets is that they cannot rely on any signal other than the electricity price to control whether a given plant will be ru
