And in that case you begin to wonder why use Python at all? The language struggles to give developers the granularity needed to finely manage threads like C++, and it doesn't have the actor model first class like Erlang. I love Python,

California is becoming more like a nanny state. I don’t think a law like this would pass in North Dakota or Texas in a thousand years.

They loaded up 2 competitors with debt and got billions in return as a breakup fee. Not a bad strategy.

It’s true that 70% of a language is about ~100-300 words. In linguistics this is called the “core sight set”. If you’re in a pinch traveling I recommend asking an AI for the 300 most frequent word core sight set and cramming these with Anki

Interesting take. I’m an Elixir fanboy because I find LiveView to be very slim. You’re just sending state diffs over WebSocket and updating the DOM with MorphDOM. The simplicity is incomparable to state of the art with JavaScript frameworks

I would not recommend the standard resume -> job portal -> application pipeline to anyone seriously looking for gainful employment. The signal:noise ratio is not in your favor. The current meta for tech jobs is an OSS portfolio, spons

This is called a float business in finance. Starbucks has more than a billion dollars in unredeemed balances, and they make ~$200 million per year in interest with this cash. They're basically a bank with a coffee shop side hustle.

Very nice, I think a Rust server using a WebSocket to send MorphDOM diffs to the browser would be very well received.

They're using the ride share app playbook. Subsidize the product to reach market saturation. Once you've found a market segment that depends on your product you raise the price to break even. One major difference though is that ri

Why do you need a CI at all? You can use a queue like Oban on your own server to kick off jobs. And with AI you can add new jobs, so long as they are well defined, in a few minutes and schedule them however you like. I only recommend this b

Programming languages are most interesting area in CS for the next 10 years. AI need criteria for correctness that can't be faked so the boundary between proof verification and programs will become fuzzier and fuzzier. The runtimes als

Yes, these are the central mysteries of Christianity. We have to reckon with imperfect people writing about a perfect person. And there is never any absolute proof or disproof. We make the justification by faith alone.

You have to move up or down to survive. In 10 years we'll either be managers (either of humans or agents), or we'll be electrical engineers. Programming is done! I for one am glad.

One thing that slop often lacks is framing. I want to know why a particular person designed it this way. What were the constraints of the original team? What were their goals at the time? How did these change over time? Just knowing "T

2 things have not changed since the advent of AI, and never will change. The first is the calculus of computation. The second is the engineering of computation. All coding is just some interesting combination of these two forms of logic. Yo
