What's the point if it's incompatible? The README suggests using go's testing toolchain and type checker, but that's unreliable if the compiled code has different behavior than the tested code. That's like testing a

The most controversial part is that they wrote a TUI in ReactJS, but they don't try to keep that part secret, they brag about it. :^)

The endianness of file formats and handwriting is irrelevant when it comes to deciding whether your code should support running on big-endian CPUs. The only question that matters: Do your customers / users want to run it on big-endian

AFAIK they recapture most, but recapturing all simply isn't possible / financially feasible. And they use a lot of helium, so even if they capture most of it, the losses are still higher than the currently available supply.

The demo video ( https://x.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/2033617732147810782 ) is even less appealing than the screenshot. The old woman at 00:20 especially looks awful! This has all the worst aspects of AI-generated fac

They've gone the Haskell route of adding a billion features to a non-dependent type system instead. Not that I blame them, nobody has figured out practical dependent typing yet. (Idris is making good progress in the field though)

Very cool and practical, but specs aren't dependent typing. (I actually think specs are probably more useful than dependent types for most people) Dependent typing requires: - Generic types that can take runtime values as parameters, e

Presumably someone wanted to write an RPi bootloader, which run on the GPU. Several universities have OS programming courses that use old 32-bit RPis. Not sure if anything was actually written though.

Not OP, and not sure about OCaml and Haskell, but one example where Java's type system is unhelpful/incorrect is mutable subtyping. E.g. Java assumes Cat[] is a subtype of Animal[]. But this only holds when reading from the arra

If I, a human, read the source code of $THING and then later implement my own version, that's not a "clean-room" re-implementation. The whole point of "clean-room" is that no single person has access to both the ori
