...So is this a transpiler of some sort? If it is, consider looking in Nim. It compiles to C, and even compiles to Javascript. And is extremely performant while at it.

A nonsensical and sexist statement. You can have good friendships with other men. Friendships with women is not a necessary contingent precedent for that. Also reversing your statement to use women sounds immediately sexist: "...And be

There are many successful relationships that don't involve arguments - and which are about constant peace. Relationships don't require 'arguments and fights and makeups' to be real. And if AI girlfriends offer 'idea

The issue is not "as time goes on". The issue is now - the use of Swift outside of the Apple ecosystem is remarkably stifled, given the lack of Apple support. A language truly acquires mainstream mindshare and community, only if

'Educability' sounds a bit like the ancient Chinese saying, of how only empty cups can be filled: > The "Empty Cup" or "The Empty Vessel" parable: 'A cup that is already full, whether with knowledge, op

Your characterization using the phrase "conventional wisdom" is demeaning. I've found that a lot of wisdom PG passes on is novel, not 'conventional'; moreover the observation he offers is not something I would have

The design here is some sort of Geocities-like '90s joke, right? And intentionally designed to be unreadable?

I really need to second keypress minimization as a competitive factor! One reason why Vim appeals to me is not the speed (which is great) but it's ability to minimize the keypresses needed to go somewhere, or to do something. That may

This was really fun! I could imagine myself really getting into this, as someone who enjoys Vim motions. It would also be great to see automated replays, based on the inputs in the leaderboard.

I recently bought a machine with an RTX 4090 and a 7950X3D. Installed Pop OS; expected there might be one or two hiccups with the Nvidia drivers. Yet I had zero driver config/installation issues - and there's not been a single W

As someone who heavily uses Manim with Python, I like the idea. But I really don't want to use 'Py5' if it then has a Java dependency.

You take a morally superior position, and you are condescending. As if discussions and examples using imaginary characters are somehow 'lowly', and can't be used as a fair commentary of society. In comparison, Plato's w

I've noticed: competent people who aren't interested in leadership tend to make the best leaders. As compared to people who want to be leaders, for the sake of being known as a 'leader', but have neither the compete

No offence to your wife, but I find it incredibly exhausting to speak to people like this. I agree that unsolicited advice is not good. But one should make exceptions for advice from spouses, who's vowed to be by your side, and who has

This was such an an enjoyable read. My view of Ballmer has completely changed, in retrospect. Am also impressed that he was a mathematician by training and outscored Gates, and went quite against norms by his own business judgment (which is

This fear that LLMs are hallucinating constantly, and therefore entirely unreliable, is unfounded. Sure, that'll happen if you're going into extreme limits of areas of knowledge - but if you're dipping your foot into superfic

I enjoyed the original Final Fantasy 7. Are you sure that your non-enjoyment of remake is not due to rose-coloured glasses of nostalgia?

This article reads like nonsense - even the header is clickbait material. Claiming science needs peer review is like saying a painting isn't art until a critic reviews it. The results existsindependently of external validation. Peer re

I almost feel like a discussion about how Go's compiler is crazy fast is warranted in this thread.
