I'm curious, which episodes are describable as "not only programming"? I ask since I can't think of one.

I never meant to claim "it's the same thing". I was just suggesting, if, by "react-like" code, you meant "a UI library that uses a vDOM to transform functionally written code into DOM nodes", Yew fits the

It's still bad for my use case though. My use case being: (1) figuring out rails magic, and (2) coming up with ways to twist the Rust borrow checker into submission.

The loudest voices in Rust that I know (pcwalton, steveklabnik, burntsushi, on HN for example) clearly acknowledge that Rust makes tradeoffs. No one denies that there are "simpler ways to achieve memory safety". Stop-the-world gar

From what I know from skimming the docs and listening to Richard's podcast, their focus currently is on achieving great compiled performance. Plus, from what I can tell, Richard is still a fan of Elm, so I'd guess he thinks there&

by davidatbu 3y ago
It is my understanding that roc aims to "bring Elm to the backend", so it does not at all look like a substitute for Elm.

Definitely learnt from that link, thanks! That still hasn't won me over from prioritizing definitely-memory-safe languages over "fairly-memory-safe" nim tho.
100.
by davidatbu 3y ago
You know: this always tempts me, but I hold back because nim is not memory-safe (or has a clearly delineated memory-safe subset like Rust), and I would rather pick up an actually memory-safe (even if GCed) language even if some perf-cost (l

That would be interesting! You might already be aware. But there's mypyc[0], which is an AOT compiler for Python code with type hints (that, IIRC, mypy uses to compile itself into a native extension). Wanted to give you a head-start on

by davidatbu 3y ago
I also have extensive experience with mypy and pyright, also even going as far as trying to fix a mypy bug (also unsuccessfully). For pyright, the dev was so responsive that I only had to report bugs for them to be fixed (sometimes in a cou

Ah, I get what you're saying now. When you said > "you'd be surprised how many Rust engineers think unsafe somehow 'encapsulates' memory bugs inside the block itself," you essentially mean: > "you&#x

I've also used with diesel async for personal projects, and I have ran into no rough edges at all, fwiw.

Since we're both not providing data, I'd be interested in hearing your personal experience on this (if it's not too much of a bother, feel free not to respond!): What do you do for a living, and do you find GPT-4 helpful for

> Subscription? How many people will pay a sub for it? I'm a programmer, and I pay a subscription for GPT-4 because it's ridiculously worth it. I'm curious, what do you do that you don't think GPT-4 is worth it?
108.
by davidatbu 3y ago
I'm curious, why would there be doubts? GPT-4 is incredibly useful, and it's clear there's so much straightforward bits of additional product development on top of it in various verticals that will be incredible productivity

Thanks for the ideas! Separating out presentation crate into it's own crate sounds like a great idea. Re "temporarily stopping rust-analyzer", I came across this trick[0] to make RA use a different build path (trading off dis

While I'm usually a no-macros kinda guy, but (I believe) leptos and dioxus provide tooling to hot-reload markup-only changes without (incremental) recompilation. Do you think that would be possible withour macros?

Can I ask: what did you find funny / worth remarking about?

In other words, you are saying that an HTTP server can detect distinguish between when the client is doing `curl $url | sh`, and when the client is doing `curl $url | sh -c 'cat > /tmp/file'`. I'd love to hear th

Yes, I do think that the most promising path we are aware of to AGI is exactly the route that OpenAI/Deepmind/Anthropic/FAIR/etc are taking. In fact, I don't think anyone would disagree with that statement.

Yeah, I guess we're disagreeing about a very non-concrete proposal, so there isn't much point to our convo :)

Is what you're suggesting that one has to pass that `tokio_context` into every `.await()`? If so, I personally would be in strong opposition, cuz I don't think the verbosity cost is justified, in any of the use cases for async I&#

Thanks! I guess it's more common than what my personal experience suggests (which is that it never happens).

Can't one do `curl $url | sh -c 'cat > /tmp/file'`?
