Why bother copying and pasting though, that's my whole point. Google is terrible in comparison, just let it write the code for you.

The MLIR aspects of Mojo are really interesting but I can't help but feel that the language itself is basically just going to be a hodge-podge of semi-random crap bolted onto python (which is already a few decades of semi-random shit h

> I'm not sure what copying you're referring to here. Declining to call free has nothing to do with needless copy operations Think. You make malloc feel inexpensive both by using a crappy but fast allocator and disabling free.

Walter doing that is why compiling my work project uses 70 gigs of ram and is slow - because nothing stays in the cache because everything gets copied so much (because copies are cheap right?) Anecdotally people have told me that's it&

Don't do it though. Unless you know you will only allocate 100x times less memory than the average user has it will bite you. 1. Your code is now fragile (in the taleb sense). 2. Your code is now unusable when someone wants to use it a

Hypernormalisation is kind of a miss. It might be true, but it doesn't work because Curtis himself is hypernormalising — he isn't a journalist, he tells stories and emotions rather than a left-brained truth.

Those mainframes are actually pretty modern and interesting. If IBM split off half of their mainframe division and let some competition get going I think the segment could actually be something to contend with. The basic idea of the IBM mai

Excel is a great example. The idea is fantastic. Programmers are too harsh on excel. Unfortunately Microsoft haven't really updated excel in decades. They've added tweaks here and there, and made a really clumsy attempt at integra

I worry about using python for this kind of thing. It's very hard to be confident about python code. If you have a good code review feedback loop and so on then it can be OK but proper types enable lots of good things when dealing with
