Depends what you want to build. Homes together? Kind of matters.

None of my friends who I'd do this with are in the same economic class. Otherwise I think I would have.

While freeing to write, that is horrifying to inherit.

That is an absolutely fair distinction. I think a blocking implementation being a `await(async impl)` is typically fine... the problem with that is the lack of async interop in the current state of things, more than the async runtime which

by eximius 5y ago
okay, but that doesnt solve basically the main thing that async paradigms seek to solve: sharing of resources between waiting disjoint processes. your statemachine blocks the thread. if you had a more complicated state machine, maybe nested

forget takes owned values. So you wouldn't have a handle to them to use after.

There are roughly two levels to the discussion: 1. Do you like strong type systems? If so, Rust us great! If you really would e itching for some python or JS, it may bother you, even though the Rust type inference really makes it a non-iss

I'm not sure I agree? If I'm waiting on an update in a 3rd party library... you have to wait for the 3rd party library to ship. Different binaries are effectively that. So, yea, I could also feature flag everything, flip the flag
341.
by eximius 5y ago
thats fair. you require reasonable deployment intervals and may need to wait to merge based on deployment. Workflow actions that can check whether a commit is deployed in a given environment are invaluable

If you are in an enterprise setting, you don't need decentralized version control . So, yea, for companies, monorepos are a no brainer in a lot of ways. For open source, separate repos makes more sense. To expand on corporate monorepo

by eximius 5y ago
that doesnt seem like a problem with monorepos (or otherwise). youd just need to tag your releases, right?

by eximius 5y ago
It doesn't, but you can spend less effort engaging with someone acting in bad faith.

Zig, Rust, and (as much as I hate it) WASM seem to be doing magical things for several years running.

that would also make it violently and severely dissociative with the number of competing consciousnesses.

There was a result recently of modeling an organic neuron with 1000 digital neurons. And even if that result was perfect modeling of the neuron, that assumes perfect and exhaustive data readings on the organic neuron, which is, frankly, u

In addition to this, I highly recommend just reading the codebase. I haven't written C since college and it's remarkably readable. I once tried to catalogue all the stdlib operations which release the GIL, meaning if you use only

"avoid making copies" dors not always equal "performance". Depending on your access patterns, having the data colocated can be more important. But immutability sure is nice when you can have it.

I think it's fair. It is, by far, the biggest hurdle to adoption and contributions. I'm a SWE and I don't grok it yet. Granted, I haven't spent a ton of time on it. But if you have to spend a ton of time on it, it has

well, there is a good reason they cant do that. they dont know what the files are. perhaps filesystems should be extensible in a way that supports indexing intelligently. (i know you mentioned an aversion to addons)

Discipline is one way. Interest is the other. I find bouldering is a full body exercise and involves implicit strength training while being extremely mentally engaging.

You're describing a way for a meaningful gradient to exist, so it amounts to the same thing.

I mean, there are some rules, actually. The structure of a neuron is not a black box about which we know nothing. There will be many atoms used to construct the cell wall, for example. Your analogy is like saying my computer has X number of
