How is a WM not just a simple plugin/extension? Find a display server you like and write an extension for it!
482.
by gf000 7mo ago
You only need a single implementation that exposes an API for running a WM as an extension. I don't really get why would it be a good idea to somehow mandate a specific architecture design from the standard.

The more real answer is that python's primary usage is a glue language. It has to be able to interface with various C libraries, and to make the interfaces even more ergonomic, they exposed several internal details on how code is eva

> Cython and all the libs you mention use the c-api, which is the #1 thing python needs to lose to be competitive. Quite hard to lose the #1 reason people use the language for.

It does have a "shady" past, but AFAIK it mostly managed to leave that vaporware behind. Nonetheless, I would not bet anything too serious on such a small language.

Not parent, but basically every ML? OCaml, but also Scala/Kotlin to a certain degree Java, C# are all good choices.

Why go? That language has absolutely no expressive power, while you surely at least want to add together two vectors/matrices in AI with the + operator.

Yeah. That's why I meant "generic", and we would probably agree that Coq and alia are not generic languages.
489.
by gf000 7mo ago
I don't think there is a generic computational model that would prevent deadlocks, so no, pony also doesn't solve it.

Well, there are so many more lower hanging fruits that LLMs can actually replace before they get to developers -- basically every middle manager, and a significant chunk of all white collar jobs. I'm not convinced software developers w

This may have been practically true for a long time, but as Java's ZGC garbage collector proves, this is not a hard truth. You can have world pauses that are independent of heap size, and thus predictable latency (of course, trading of

But even the solutions would be so trivial - have a separate 'prod' compiler flag. With that, make these errors, without make these warnings. Problem solved, everyone happy.

Nowhere, or wherever C# would sit. Go is a high level managed language.

Exceptions travel up the stack on their own. Given that most error cases can't be handled immediately locally (otherwise it would be handled already and not return an error), but higher up (e.g. a web server deciding to return an error

Verbosity is an objective metric. Code readability is another, correlating one, but this is more subjective. To me go scores pretty low here - code flow would be readable were it not for the huge amount of noise you get from error "han

by gf000 8mo ago
How does that relate to Go being a verbose language?
497.
by gf000 8mo ago
If by lightweight you mean verbosity, then absolutely no. In go every third line is a noisy if err check.

I agree with your questioning of it being capable of preventing bugs, but your second point is quite likely false -- we have developed a bunch of very useful abstractions in "research" languages 50 years ago, only to re-discover t

Go is one of the most verbose mainstream programming languages, so that's a pretty terrible example.

But that's still "draw the rest of the owl" category of complexity, and you probably can't really get hard real time on an ordinary kernel. At that point you might as well take a look at runtimes that have a GC and is

The key point is that there has to be a slow vertical panning happening as actual content. If that happens, then the on-disk representation of a color channel can end up physically below/above what happens before/after in the movi

Well, vendors' randomly modified android systems are chock full of bugs, so it could have easily been some fancy os-specific feature failing not just in your case, but probably plenty other apps.

There are hardly any rulings/laws about the topic, and it quite obviously changes the picture of licenses.

I guess it depends on if the source data set is part of the training data or not (if it's open source it is likely part of it). A lawyer could easily argue that the model itself stores a representation of the original, and thus it can

It's an Android service. But unlike on regular Android where Google play services have hard-coded special permissions, on Graphene it is an ordinary android service with all the same strict rules applying to it, as to any other service
508.
by gf000 8mo ago
Unlikely. The reason graphene doesn't run ön non-pixels even today is that it depends on certain hardware features that most vendors (beside Google) lacks. I wouldn't think this applies to Motorola.

Security theater, it has absolutely no use. If you can't trust your hardware that it won't actively listen to the microphone without your knowledge and permission then what are you even doing with that device?!

It does give back memory nowadays. And it's not really a VM in that sense of the word. It's a runtime, Go also has such a runtime it's just bundled.
