Part of me wants to ignore that it's a constructed image and go on imagining entangled particles forming yin / yang images. Perhaps I can't critique the media too much for implying the same. Though the actual research seems i

I've used Nim as a C/C++ "successor" language too with its new default memory management in the 2.0 release. It's handy to interface with opencv or other C++ code bases: https://nim-lang.org/docs&#x2

Impressive work! You give me hope that we'll be able to continue scaling computing in domains which require it. Also makes me wonder if Google's DWave could be more similar to this method rather than true quantum computing.

Right and assembling things by hand will probably become a niche hobby like retro computing. For small scale startups assembling things by hand may still even be a valuable skill in some cases. Thoygh with the way AI is progressing we may s

It's unclear why the techempower gives low performance for elixir / phoenix. But from what I've heard is that in real world applications the performance tends to scale much better than Python or Ruby.

My guess would be that it'd be similar to silicon wafer production and just require lots work to industrialize the process and hone production. Graphene is just particularly difficult due to its 2-d nature, but lk-99 looks to a regular

1.6 should have a few years of support. Though 2.0 is largely compatible with older Nim code.

by elcritch 3y ago
With 2.0 out and ORC being default it compiles and works just fine. There's not too many libraries specializing for wasm stuff though, so you gotta use emscriptens or similar.

Most of those libraries are written in C++ or C, which Nim has excellent support for. I've used opencv c++ library with Nim. It's just that opencv is so massive it'd take a lot of work to wrap well, so I haven't yet. Som

It looks simple but in a typed language it's actually somewhat tricky. The compiler needs to infer that the 1 is a float type, 2 is a byte, and compile it appropriately. Previously Nim didn't do any "reverse" type infere

Ugh, I just got done spending months fighting CMake before moving back to a position using Nim! You can also compile C projects with Nim like bearssl [1]. Nim takes care to compile the C files and recompile them when config flags change. It

The lack of recursive imports can be annoying, but I found I don't mind it. It keeps your module tree into a DAG. Chronos is probably the most feature rich and uses async. Mummy is newer and uses a threading model. Both are used in pro
