Can anyone provide some context? I don't know what GLFW is, and the blog post doesn't really explain. From Googling, I see what it is now, but I don't really have a sense of how important GLFW bindings are. Is this very niche

What the story is, and how it's told, are both important aspects to varying degrees to different people. This is the case with novels, too. For example, I love a good mindbending plot, and barely care how it's told. I can tolerate

I'm with you on this. I was an original backer of the Oculus on Kickstarter, and it's just mindblowing to see how far it's come to the Quest 2. And while the original Oculus shows you what promise there is from a hacker in th

I suspect we will be awash in critical comments shortly, so let me just say I'm kind of excited about this. Don't forget that the internet was originally a military project. I'm excited to see a huge corporation going all in

I ordered mine on release day and am eagerly awaiting its delivery. Glad to hear that about the notch. I couldn't for the life of me think why it mattered. When the presentation showed it, I looked at the very display of the Mac laptop

This looks neat, but I'm still not sure I quite get it. Do I understand correctly that earlier tools helped you use , e.g., ESLint, but now it replaces ESLint and does the linting itself? Or is it still something of an orchestrator

I just received my preordered America's Test Kitchen recipe book for Instant Pots in the mail yesterday. I loved their approach, generally, and was very excited to see that they had a pressure cooker book. I'm actually making my f

Thanks for letting me know about this site. I hadn't seen it before! I don't suppose I could beg an invite from you...?

I think the Go philosophy is probably healthier for an economy overall. I can't say whether that's really what's going on here with Cloudflare specifically, but it's an interesting way of framing the discussion. In parti

Try really thinking about it and I think you'll see that even with fractional reserve banking, if you add up all the debt and credit, you'll still end up with exactly zero dollars.

I've been thinking about this lately with regard to my very young child. There's been a lot of discussion lately about lowering the age at which the mRNA vaccinations can be given. But if it's true that natural immunity + vac

I'm surprised Node has cold-start issues. I had it in my mind that JS was Lambda's "native" language and wouldn't have cold start issues at all. Did it used to be like that? Didn't Lambda launch with only suppo

Heh, I've held off on using Amazon's free "same day" delivery before because it felt guiltily greedy. But the person running up your stairs is a function of throughput, not latency. Getting it a couple days later, but st

I don't think that's a given. Or, at least, not if the extent of the argument is "well, they seem primitive to me, I assume my ancestors were primitive, so...". The hunting and gathering (and storing, and shelter, and gu

You call it "economic orthodoxy" but it's really nothing of the sort. There's not even really a technical definition of "free markets" so I don't know where you're getting your assertions. I think you

When I think of Cloudflare workers and such, I think of the public internet. If you have a public web app and you want low latency all around the globe, a worker is a great option. This is the opposite of that. Are they targeting "inho

I notice that python has `rstrip` while `nim` doesn't. Python's `rstrip()` is allocating a whole new line there. Does the nim iterator skip over whitespace or something? Do those bits of code output the same thing? The presence or

1. LiveView looks incredible! But Phoenix is also great at standard JSON APIs. How do you think about the decision between using LiveView vs a SPA with a Phoenix API backend? I'm not too sure about the limits or future vision of Live

That sort of surprises me. On worldometers, Alabama's per capita death rate isn't that unusual. It's ranked 5th and roughly on par with, e.g. Massachusetts. And that's now counting Delta variant and its likely higher p

Note that while strings are generally opaque bytes in Zig, there are standard library functions[0] to work with them as Unicode codepoints and such. But Unicode is quite large and complicated, and things like grapheme clusters aren't i

The build tooling of Zig is very impressive. I'm a sponsor of the project not necessarily because of the language itself, but because it surely has the potential to make waves in some way or another (edit: though the language itself is

Zig's `errdefer` is really cool. While I like the semantic simplicity of, e.g., rust's Result for errors, and treating an error like any other value, having a little language special handling for errors is very nice. Zig's eq

In general I think these kind of bug bounty competitions are fun and great idea. But this one seems pretty technically sophisticated. Maybe I'm underestimating the students, resume builders, etc that typically participate, but I'l

Is this basically the same as hitting just plain "t" on a github.com repo? (Fuzzy file listing/search).

Are you sure things aren't better now than 40 years ago? Everything is certainly more affordable for the average American and the standard of living is higher than ever. Sure, there was a run on toilet paper when the pandemic started a
