The most interesting part for me is MyPy to C++ conversion. I understand it's easier that way. It certainly makes it easier to package Oil. It's a necessary step to bootstrap all the work. Certainly such a conversion tool would be

Arrrgh! I'm already planning to get off ChromeOS (unscrew the write protect screw!) and Google services, but this takes it one point further. If they remove this option, they should better integrate Google Photos with Chromebooks. Chro

I think it is safest if you will not factor people having book/laptop/hot coffee in front of their face. For other considerations see sibling posts. The same issue is for back facing seats on autonomous cars. I don't see it h

Yeah, it's time to unscrew the write protect screw. I'm wondering how Firefox for Android manages on ChromeOS. For now it's too slow on Crostini. But my cheap Chromebook is not performing well with both Crostini and Android c

In Berlin (I don't know if it's different in other parts of Germany) and in Poland the default speed limit in cities is 50kph (~30mph). In Berlin most drivers match speed limits. In Poland most drivers ride at 70kph (~45mph) in ci

I thought about buying a thermostat for my district heating radiators. But for the time being I just manage with a cheap thermometer and regulating the radiator manually, because they already have a crude thermostat. It works quite good, be

This project is very cool, but I also think it was kinda possible on X11. However not as easy and that's why this project is exciting for me. I tried to hack on tabbed from suckless [0] with a little utility to achieve a similar behavi

How does a rocket deal with those side stresses while it's attached to the airplane? AFAIK rockets generally do not deal well with sideways forces, because a rocket is a giant can.

That's a bit what I'm thinking about lately. I'm wondering what could I do instead. I like programming as a hobby, but not necessarily as a job. How could I go into a think tank for example? Or whatever that needs problem sol

Hooray for vector type. Language does not require operator overloads when math has proper first-class support. That's my favorite bike-shed color.

Google invested in it not for it to be available without them. So I say it's not gonna happen even with higher price. They would also not like a suggestion that the same phone without their software is somehow more valuable. Also I fee

Wait for Pine Phone for $150 [0] or preorder Librem 5 for $649 [1]. However expect beta experience either way. Also remember that you probably don't want to entirely cut Google out of your life, as for example Linux have Google salarie

Violet in the article is not a real violet. A computer screen shows violet as a mix of red, green and blue as all colors. So the violet in the article is really a blueish purple. Also many file formats encode them as such. That's only

There is not a mention of memory safety in this post. It's very confusing term in this context. I wouldn't call running a binary with syscall interception (with qemu for example) as "memory safe".

Then it's a bit bizarre to call it memory safe. I would say that "sandbox" is far more established term for what it is or does. Because if by using seccomp and/or user namespaces I would say that Linux/C is memory s

That's interesting. But seeing Mediatek SoC my enthusiasm is limited. Personally I want only something that's supported at least by LineageOS. However with that price it's not bad. But for now when my Nexus 5x will eventually

Go and C do not have classes either. If it's a bit comparable it would be a plus for me. I'm mainly a C++ programmer by trade by I don't enjoy it and in my free time I use mainly C with some shell glue and some Go. I read tha

I thought that Native MIDI API would be something that places NDK as first class citizen, but as you mentioned it's a bit constrained. But it's more that Native MIDI is first class, than whole of NDK.

I assume it's at best opt-out so 90-98% would be my guess. Although I'm talking out of my ass.
