This is a cool project; getting bash to run on it seems like a real milestone. I dabbled with my own unix-like OS right out of college in C (no rust in 2010) and it was great fun. I'm jealous you were able to make time to get this far!

Just having fun and speculating a lot here... IIRC, there was a study that found that when humans are presented with a sufficiently short-lived stimulus, there is correlated localized activity in the brain (ie, the visual processing areas

C was my first language, and I actually have the opposite opinion - I suspect that calling them 'enums' helps adoption. My reasoning is that phrases like 'tagged unions' and 'algebraic datatypes' strike some de

Not exactly an emphasis on coding style itself, but I would recommend checking out the "The Architecture of Open Source Applications" to see examples of how some large and popular open source projects are structured. https:/

That's curious - one of the example programs computes the fibonacci sequence. The language is clearly still a work in progress. I wonder what the difference is in your recursion and what's listed? https://austral-lang.o

I love this. Arwes is about 20% too over the top for me or I would really be tempted to build something in it. But the style ofyour site is almost exactly what I want. Are you open sourcing your component library/styling by any chance?

They actually have a site with a playground (linked from the Github page) - https://playground.arwes.dev/

I actually think this is the core cause of a lot of current popular hate of capitalism - shitty managers (I'm thinking the /r/antiwork sort of sentiment). People conflate shitty managers with how the system intrinsically work

Are there any better options than Tor? Can you link to anything about explaining/critiquing the anonymity?

I'm adding "The Control Revolution" to my reading list thanks to this post. I recently finished "The Company: A short History of a Revolutionary Idea" [0] and it painted a picture where historic development in econo

As someone relatively new to finance, I have a newbie question - how do you know these details? I assume the leveraged buyout made some noise (how else did Musk get the funding?). Is this public information in some SEC filing somewhere or i

I think about this a lot in humor contexts. Many jokes rely on passing cultural contexts that isn't documented and isn't made explicit. Example: In my experience "The chad was good" and various jokes around "hanging

Even if the crypto market for GPUs dries up, the ML market only seems to be growing. GPU manufacturers should be just fine.

Off topic, but I'm an engineer whose math extends (shakily) into basic proofs (though I'm rusty). I tinkered quite a bit with Lean a couple of years ago and felt comfortable with it as a language, but I don't actually grok ho

We've had moral panics around Dungeons and Dragons, Satanic cults, the war on drugs, etc going back longer. I could totally see the trend being accelerated by a lot of things. Sure, 9/11, is one possible trigger, but it could also

Well trying to get unfiltered information in a censored country _would_ be a crime.

Oh you're totally right; I think it would have to be a purely functional framing - I don't think we could shoe-horn this into Rust. I should have prefaced my comment with a note that this was way more speculative :)
