That was Bismuth, not pannenkoek2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXbJe-rUNP8 Though Bismuth does spend some time explaining why pannen took a break from making videos, which I'm very glad to see was temporary.

It's fashionable to hate on Mojo, but I actually hope they succeed. I started my career by writing fast, production-grade replacements for Python programs written by scientists. Without someone like me, they were squandering government

The tendency to compare Meta and Apple offerings is always at least a little unfair. Given that this type of product and ecosystem is going to exist now, Apple did everything they reasonably could to avoid the problem of people being isolat

I'm not sure I see the point. It's not hard to see that humans almost everywhere and in almost every point in history organized (voluntarily or otherwise) into those with more agency and leverage and those with less. Most people a

I wasn't actually commenting on the "heavy" part but the "8 pounds per gallon" part. I can do these conversions on demand but, besides never being the native way I think personally, there are simply more numeric con

So if you own a house or car then it's distressing to see one destroyed in a movie? Both of those cost much more than a trumpet, and for many people are more personal and unique, but somehow most people manage to keep their eyes on the

Serious question: Did anyone already want to buy an iPad, but the ad made them not buy it in protest? I don't have the data, but I don't expect this to be very common. I don't watch TV ads and if it wasn't for the contro

Remember around that time when the industry said that OpenCL would allow write-once run-everywhere compute code for a booming industry of diverse and competitive compute devices? I fell for that scam for a couple of years, before very fortu

When I started out self-teaching programming on Windows with Visual Studio, in high school long before university, my greatest fear is that I might one day have to understand COM, OLE, and ActiveX. Luckily some friends had already taken an

If it was actually bad value they wouldn't sell as high as they do and review with as much consumer satisfaction as they do. These products may not offer you much value and you don't have to buy them. Clearly plenty of people and

I look forward to these vendors delivering on their promises, and I look forward to Apple perhaps formalizing a promise with less variability for future products. Neither of these hopes retroactively invalidates the fact that Apple has had

This is one of my bigger remaining issues with day-to-day use of Go. I love how neat Go `package.Symbol` usually looks -- that objective was met -- but it has at least these problems: * It is syntactically identical to `variable.Member` so

Looking on the bright side, I would like to thank Ubuntu for self-destructing so comprehensively that it's exposed the Linux user base to other distributions that still respect their users.

A lot of people said the same about generics, and some even still do. I could barely stand Go before generics, and still don't think they go far enough. From my experience, things I think Go could really benefit from, like I believe it

It's a little suspicious the example uses math/rand.Seed() which has been deprecated for over a year. That's when I noticed the repo itself hasn't had a single commit in 7 months. Why is this suddenly news, when by all a
