Exactly. In Rust, Python and Go you can trace every symbol back to its source by just reading source code. `cat file` would suffice. In C#, that’s impossible by design, as you say. C# imports work like wildcard imports in Rust and Python, w

Well said! I once heard C# referred to as a “blue collar language”. Perhaps snarky, but it mirrors my experience. There’s little in the way of fun in the ecosystem. Not a lot of true open source in the conventional sense, lots of Microsoft

A language where every definition is global is the worst starting point imaginable. Of course, solutions to that will remain severely lacking. Prefixed variables as you propose were abandoned for good reason. Perhaps give Rust or Python, ma

As a TypeScript beginner, I was bitten by this. Typing in TypeScript feels quite bad for some reason; a lot of effort for effects which are still potentially wrong at runtime. I didn’t struggle so much in Python, Rust or C#, for example. Py

I meant: legitimate use cases. And I don’t buy into .zip being made part of automatic URL detection in tools, for all the illegitimate reasons it’ll be used for. Vendors of email clients, messengers and chat applications tend to stick to a

Is there a place where one can sign up for announcements on new TLDs? I don’t want to sign up for every registrant under the sun.

I own a domain along the lines of 'invoice.zip', I thought it’d be fun. But so far, it’s just been useless and expensive. Should I keep it? What are uses cases for such a 'misguided' domain? I thought about putting a blo

In VSCode it’s just a command away (on the command palette).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen code of this shape in general, ever. Lists are homogeneous in their semantics, aka items stand for the same semantic thing. This is in contrast to tuples. Both lists and tuples exist in both Rust and Python as w

That’s different from the runtime-free binaries produced by Rust and Go (binaries ship with tiny runtime) though. These are truly dependency-free, requiring only that you can execute ELF files.

I never understood how one “breaches an app through the frontend”. SQLi messes with your data store, natively (no RCE). XSS messes with other users, laterally. But how does one reach from the frontend all the way through, liberally? Are peo

Make `a + b` `A * B` then, multiplication of two potentially huge matrices. Same argument still holds, but now it's blocking (still just performing addition, only an enormous number of times).

I wonder, is Perl more ubiquitous than Python for these cases?

Yeah, that tuple API is bizarre. It really doesn’t play well with type annotations either.

This is an excellent point. A sibling comment of yours called it ossification. There hasn’t been much innovation or change in Instruction Set Architectures, and there can’t be as the entire world of software relies on these. Only true disr

The section under “Hazels definition” leaves a narcissistic aftertaste. The domain name weirdly adds to it.

A base install isn't too hard, correct. The main downside there is that a full LaTeX distribution is gigabytes in size, but that's manageable. Just takes time. Leaving out docs or using a distribution with on-the-fly package ins

You're probably right in that LaTeX won't change, but I am beyond happy having left and picking up typst for a recent project. Despite existing limitations and beta-ness, it's already fantastic, and most importantly promising

I don't see that as a threat just yet. It seems simpler: stock value prices expected future growth. Nvidia has already grown to a highly dominant position. I don't see how it can grow much more to fill expectations of the stagge

I feel like the space has already plateaued. Lots of improvements up to GPT4 were genuine milestones, but that’s now a year ago and everything since was marginal. I’m not invested in any sense in the space. I’m actually more frequently turn

The site makes me sad whenever I visit. On my beefy desktop, load times for the home page are at around three seconds. On my feeble (but still enormously expensive: a Microsoft Surface) laptop, it’s well in excess of 10 seconds. Both tests

This person seems to be a Rust contributor, so if this isn't a jab against Rust, I'm not sure what their point is.

Very cool. Would play around with this in a heartbeat in the home lab, but Caddy's automatic HTTPS (ACME HTTP-01 and DNS-01 challenges) would be sorely missed. I suppose one can supplement certbot in this setup? Or use the "highly
