It's a matter of trends: F# is losing compatibility with the overall CLR ecosystem due to the churn in C# features with poor F# interop, but F# has already mingled its design with the CLR's, too much to live on its own as a native

Shadowing is not mutability. The former isn't affected by control flow nor does it affect closures.

That's the repo, Jane Street has rebranded their OCaml fork to OxCaml (as in oxidised, Rust-like). From the readme: > This is also the home of the Flambda 2 optimiser Their plan is to use OxCaml as their experimental fork and work w

That makes a lot more sense: The earliest 5.x releases weren't stable at all despite the non-prerelease version numbers. I waited for longer than I wanted to before upgrading from the LTS to 5, but right now it should be ok to switch a

Eio didn't exist before multicore OCaml actually, it was designed for it.

Two games I'd strongly recommend in this style are Your Only Move is HUSTLE (YOMI Hustle for sort), moddable multiplayer turn-based stick fights; and One Finger Death Punch , fast-paced brawler with a really simple control scheme. M

It already was the default for SteamOS, but not for overall Linux until recently, I believe.

Is this because they're that famous though or simply because there weren't as many people in the scene back then? We just don't do the initials thing anymore.

Microsoft already designed a modified ARM ABI [1] compatible with emulated X86-64 just for this transition. But it's a Windows 11 feature. I wonder if the refusal of many of us to switch from Windows 10 is part of the reason why they&#

Thanks for clarifying, I had found a past HN comment stating they are the same.

It or something similar has apparently been upstreamed to clang as -fbounds-safety. I don't know if they're the same, but the RFC on -fbounds-safety does give some credit to the author of Fil-C, who also took credit for firebloom

Tiny Glade is a great sandbox that must not have been easy to implement, game or not. However, it doesn't even use Bevy's renderer, but their own: the devs mostly just care about its ECS. So it definitely isn't the showcase B

Microsoft is selling the ESU in cumulative year-long batches, so they're only offering Year One for free for now. But depending on how many people are left on Windows 10, it wouldn't surprise me if they extend it by Year Two just

Organisations of all kinds did, and now ESU updates are free for consumers in the EU: Microsoft conceded that they had to be according to some EU directive, although it was related to software and not to environmental factors.

You're assuming that that particular set of universes is possible. Maybe it hasn't happened because getting them to agree is not scientifically possible. This reminds me of Stephen Hawking telling John Oliver that the latter datin

Note that VST3 doesn't implement the COM vtable layout, their COM-like FUnknown really is just 3 virtual methods and a bunch of GUIDs. They rely on the platform's C++ ABI not breaking. You're right that QueryInterface can ret

by debugnik 11mo ago
Not really, VST3's COM-like API just uses virtual methods, they don't guarantee layout to the same degree actual COM does with compiler support. They simply rely on the platform ABI being standardized enough.

My bad, I just double-checked and Go did the dumb thing again: They are indeed representing full code points rather than scalars like everyone else.

> uses the correct expression "code point" Actually no, these are Unicode scalars, not code points; they exclude the surrogate category. I agree that rune is a very poor name for it. It both mistakes what runes actually are and

Relative FPS gain is a meaningless metric anyway. Going from 30 to 36 FPS is -5.5 ms/frame, going from 60 to 66 FPS is -1.5 ms/frame. Taking the average of that is even more meaningless. If they insist in comparing FPS instead of

Wow, I just checked and that's really underwhelming: Tiny page size, lots of padding around the images and yet there's often 4 images per page. The layout makes it seem like the size a was late decision, it would be appropriate fo
