A lot of people believe Q-anon. This is such a shitty, drive by way of asserting something. Do you believe it? If so then make the case, but the way you've dropped this steamy innuendo here without even taking a position on it yourse

This is really impressive! My first thought was: why not just an Elixir kernel for Jupyter Lab? But then I realized the real-time collaboration goals, and thought that's really exciting and not easily done with Jupyter, as far as I can

Oof, not even a perfunctory nod to a "very difficult decision to layoff some extremely talented individuals, in order to keep mozilla sustainable in the long term" or something to that effect? Anyway, I get the sense that they&#x2

I just moved a project from pipenv to poetry at work. My biggest issue with pipenv is that you can't selectively upgrade dependencies. Trying to `pipenv update xyz` basically blows away your lockfile and updates everything. There'

Yeah, this is great! I came across that recently when working on a parser in Zig, which treats strings as arrays of bytes. I didn't know much about UTF8 other than that it's scary and programmers mess up text processing all the ti

That's great! I appreciate the full transparency here. I'm a GitHub sponsor for $5/mo, not because I actually use Zig (yet?) but because I'm interested in how this experiment goes. Andy Kelley has been doing a lot of dev

A regression when the LLVM backend updated from 8 to 9. So arguably a regression in LLVM! Reminds me of a Zig stream I watched recently where Andy was updating the compiler backend to use an LLVM 12 release candidate. He ended up filling a

I recently listened to the audiobook of Invisible Cities, narrated by John Lee, and it was phenomenal. The strange thing is, I actually don't think I would have cared for the novel, had I read it myself, but Lee captured the sort of su

Generally higher level programmer here (Elixir), who has been dabbling with Zig lately (goal is to write an Elixir type checker!). It's quite refreshing, interesting, and dare I say it, fun! I realize it doesn't have the same memo

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's not possible to express all recursion as tail-call recursion. So I think the statement is correct, in the general case. But, yes, it's true that you can express some recursion with fi

This is Hacker News, so let's talk about this from a software development perspective. This feels like solving a CI failure by just deleting the failing test. If the entrance criteria are bad or biased, then by all means fix them. For

Use your thumbs. The track pad is right below the space bar. Or, it's close enough that with hovering hands you can move back and forth between keys without looking. It's much faster to navigate a code base that way, I think, than

I had taken for granted that RAII was a good and useful pattern, from my dabbling in rust and what I've overheard in C++. So I was surprised and interested that Zig rejects that, in favor of a `defer` construct somewhat a la Go to free

No, you misunderstand. The comment asserts that the NYTimes, specifically, is biased, and this bias is harder for people on the left to see, because it aligns with their sensibilities. Meanwhile, it's easy for people on the right to se

Jose is so prolific on such varied kinds of projects. I expect he'll team up with John Carmack next to solve General AI... I know the newest BEAM release has a new JIT compiler for faster calculations. Is that work related to this at a

One value of fast frameworks is simplicity. I read once on HN that a lot of modern day deployment strategies and tooling seems like it was created because of very slow apps. When you're running a rails app, you need to scale horizont

That's a good question. You're right that a random grad student in a lab can't replicate, e.g., the discovery of the Higgs boson! However, at least for the Higgs (and I believe this is standard for most such large experiments

That's interesting, what accent do you have? In American English I've only ever heard them pronounced the same in noun or verb form.
