Eh... the newer models aren't what they used to be. They used to have arrow keys you could feel. Now it's all flat cost-savings.

It's an arms race. As students cheat with ChatGPT, teachers should incorporate tactics throwing it off, perhaps using ChatGPT themselves. I think what you are doing is great! Good luck going forward!

Being able to learn C doesn't mean C's wordiness didn't irk me. It did. In addition to verbosity, C bothered me with mandatory types, undefined behavior and having to manage memory myself. Rust is not much better. It still ha

You could have a plain Reddit clone web server for governance, and whatever compensation the group deems fair, to account for the work done by each member.

A co-op doesn't mean everyone must share profits equally. How about an internal market where people bid for tickets? There are crypto projects facilitating governance of organizations. They could help both enforce and simplify keeping

I did, being forced to in high school. I was never fond of it. Go is only a bit more verbose. Programs have a wide variability which is not graphed.

Any chance these work on CPUs with any acceptable performance? I have a 10-core 20-thread monster CPU, but didn't bother with a dedicated GPU because I can't control something as simple as its temperature. See the complicated proc

In the TechEmpower benchmarks, Clojure is about 2.75x slower than Java, while Python is 5.59x slower. The fastest composite Python "framework" is uvicorn at 17.9% of the fastest run in Java (officefloor). The fastest Clojure run i

Well, thank you for your feedback. I don't know why I bothered with the flat list in the first place. I might rewrite this library in Clojure. And I might blog about my findings. Cheers!

Using a third-party's WAF and trusting it will not log your data also shows some risk. By centralizing all data going through the web you paint a massive target on yourself (for black hats).

Well, I wrote a genetic programming library, and it was fun to parse a Lisp-like representation from Python. You still have recursion and everything (albeit no tail call optimization). Here, `_from_source` goes from a plain array of tokens

I am not okay with it, which is why I never bothered to learn Rust. In my (caveat-filled) analysis of verbosity, Rust is on the wordier side of languages (about as verbose as Java). https://danuker.go.ro/programming-language
