I had a sign: Act now or homelessness later. Choose. Homeless shelters here are terrible TBH. I’d rather sleep rough. Living in a van for me is better than a house or apartment because: - no rent, no mortgage - no noisy neighbors sans the

This article alludes to the importance of ego death: the entire spectrum of positive to negative self-perceptions are entirely mutable. You might’ve thought you were an awkward dork at one point, so you fulfilled your own expectations with

There are multiple potential explanations. I think disallowing commerce without an agreeable substitute, like immediately transferring or escrowing money from other accounts, is an unacceptable inconvenience. Often times, a person wants the

My family dumped Wells Fargo after being with them for 5 decades. They can go straight to hell to tell me or anyone what they can and can’t buy when you have a trackrecord of paying on-time and sufficient liquidity to back up a transaction.

Garbage collection isn’t absolutely necessary with lifetime/liveness or explicit frees. Furthermore, at scale in production, if a GC were absolutely necessary, then it’s vital to have a concurrent, incremental collector like c4 because

Rust-style lifetimes. The work by deallocing when the lifetime goes out of scope. No more memory leaks from non-reference-counted stack pointers (heap allocs). Or: use Rust.

Exactly. This is one of the many reasons why most parsers are written top-down. Bison, which is a bottom-up GLR parser generator, does token location tracking, but it doesn’t help with annotating code properly for human-readable warnings an

This is bad: a hobbyist will be faced with a huge burden to bring anything 3D cross-platform to their audience. In the past, it was possible to use Qt or a nasty GLU/GLUT wrapper to write portable code. Way back in 2006, in CS175, we i

a16z, Sequoia and friends got their liquidity event from $350+ M invested. Looks like a (probably $3.5+ B) 10x or better ROI, which should help VC’s IRR numbers. https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/github

Rubinius uses LLVM IR for this. The only problem is rbx is still very slow on startup and interactive use. Ruby (MRI) will have to reinvent the wheel in order to get a panoply of optimizations that some very smart people have already baked

I wish though, that except for eval and exec, that the majority of Ruby code could get an incremental/LTO JIT similar to HotSpot and a GC like C4 rather than an inc gen GC.

I read from benchmarks Iris was the fastest web framework ever. How does Gin compare to it? Another big win is the bootsnap gem, which is a cache of previous VM runs that loads faster than parsing all invariant pieces of code again. https:
