This is a software decoder designed to run on general purpose hardware. Adding custom hardware like tensor cores to the stack would serves a different use case.

The argument is that the ergonomics of using Python are worth the squeeze of learning two languages. Are the ergonomics of using Zig really enough to justify replacing Python on the happy path, or would it end up replacing just C?

> The true irony is that even SIMD text parsing would outperform this! SIMD is that powerful. Can you explain this part a bit? I feel like intuitively (and therefore probably incorrectly) these should have the same difficulties.

Ohh, then combustion itself. Right. Thanks, lol.

It can actually make it more dangerous in some ways. When you go to use it, too much inhibitor and the conditions needed to start the reaction will start to get wild, so the reaction will occur faster once started. > The use of high leve

Than what? Genuinely curious. I thought that the main exothermic thing monomers did was polymerization or combustion, and we're really hoping to prevent the latter.

Turning into plastic is an exothermic reaction. That's what's heating the tank.

Snow machines are just big spray nozzles. They don't chill the water the way you might be thinking. There's some adiabatic cooling from the expansion of compressed air, but that's about it. Refrigerated liquid transport absol

It was leaking a few days ago. That leak was stopped. The reaction was not. It looks likely to leak again.

A function that returns `Result<T,E>` is not a `T` and cannot be implicitly converted to one. If you want to use that `T`, the only way is writing code that drops or handles the `E`. If you don't, your program does not compile. C

The Result pattern can be a lot more ergonomic than exceptions. Microsoft C# guidelines recommend try-parse (which is just the Result pattern, albeit somewhat cludgy with no unions) over exceptions. https://learn.microsoft.com&#x

Which, lets be honest, is probably still being orchestrated by Python somewhere. Python is 9.75 million times faster than Python.

Nothing stops you from storing a history of mesh operations. This is exactly what modifiers (including geometry nodes) do in Blender today.

My read is it's less the rewrite and more the messaging around the rewrite. Nine days between "you're over-reacting" and merge is surprising, to say the least. Sure will be interesting to see that blog post!
