That's cool, but I might prefer semantic whitespace. Sure would be neat if we could both work with the same code in our preferred forms.

Love this take! Unison is exactly this, and it's awesome! Here's a quote from one of the creators: > But here's the super cool thing about our language! Since we don't store your code in a text/source code repres

Oh, it very much does matter to me what happens to recordings! I should have made that more clear. Self hosting is infinitely preferable than sending that info to Facebook. This isn't enough to flip my opinion on the technology in gene

Fascinating! It almost seems like the more popular a language is the less likely it is to have syntax on the landing page.

No difference. If I see your recording in public, either via cell phone or smart glasses or shoulder mounted news rig, I do my best to steer clear. I don't like Alexa or Flock or whatever else either. I do not agree that the existence

Totally agree, but that's not a justification. "We already do a thing you don't like so you won't mind if we do it lot more, right?" The same talking points still apply to cell phones. I think people who record TikT

A challenge to my beliefs! What a great question! Upon reflection, I don't have anywhere near as much reaction to dashcams. There's certainly some dissonance there. I think it's an issue of perceived benefit vs perceived risk

I don't think the project wants any "takers" per se. The first sentence describes it as: > a novel, maximally-simple concatenative, homoiconic programming and algorithm notation language This is a toy language designed to

That would be parsed as a single operator and evaluated using the following rule: > Evaluates to the operation defined for the operator in the environment. If none, evaluates to a constant function that pushes the operator, followed by a

The impact isn't felt by most. That's the point. Most people in China get along fine with their social credit system. I don't think that's an argument for the tech in Nosedive (S03E01).

There are legitimate use cases and illegitimate ones. Unfortunately, I'm seeing more examples of the latter. I somehow suspect Mark's entourage aren't all hard of hearing.

by itishappy 8mo ago
I understand there are legitimate usages. There are also usages that make me uncomfortable. My issue is that I'm unequipped to know the difference. Smart glasses sans camera would address my complaints (I take no issue with smartwatche

It used to be if you were caught wearing a hidden camera in a department store the police would be called. Now they're being billed as fashion accessories. Sorry, but "normalize hidden cameras" isn't a movement I can get

AI turned a lot of tech workers into tech enthusiasts (and frankly, most cool new technologies take their toll), but there are still plenty of people here who distrust AI.

That's fair. You have the legal right. I'm still going to avoid you like the plague.

by itishappy 8mo ago
Existing alternatives also make me uncomfortable for the exact same reasons. I would prefer to avoid anyone who purchases a pinhole camera for public use, regardless of whether it came with an LED to indicate recording. To their credit, sma

No, that honestly sounds like something I'd prefer to avoid being around too.

That works fine. That said, client side JS solutions are already quite popular.

Smart glasses are spyware. The ability to record without my knowledge or consent is what I take issue with. I don't particularly care if you self host.

> I imagine a non-tech crowd would be even more negative. Weird, I'd assume the opposite. The meme is "tech enthusiasts vs tech workers" implying there are people who like tech and people who understand it enough to distru

Understood. My point is that the underlying concepts are consistent, but the syntax differs between vendors. This largely applies to PRQL as well. Admittedly slightly moreso, but if I already have to learn a new SQL dialect to use postgres,

It sounds like you're arguing against a specific usecase, rather than the technology itself. If you don't want arbitrary markup in usernames, setHTML would absolutely be the wrong choice, but that's not really a good argument

Oh, for sure, via herculean effort and investment we have created ourselves a functioning and economical process! We do actually have functioning processes for XRay litho today, but we'll need that same level (or more) of investment an

That's the whole point of the setHTML. How would I set a header level using textContent?

What if I wanted an <h2>? Edit: I don't mean this flippantly. If I want to render, say, my blog entry on your site, will I need to select every markup element from a dropdown list of custom elements that only accept text a la Wor

Photoresist too. XRays are really good at passing through matter, which is a bit of a problem when the whole goal is for them to be absorbed by a 100 nanometer thick film. They tend to ionize stuff, which is actually a mechanism for resist

100%. EUV barely works. XRay litho takes all the issues with EUV and cranks them up to 11. It will take comparable effort to EUV, if not more, to get XRay litho up and running, and I'm not aware of anyone approaching this to anywhere n

Stochastic effects become a bigger and bigger problem. At some point (EUV) a single photon has enough energy to ionize atoms, causing a cascade that causes effects to bloom outside of the illumination spot.
