I also spent some time evaluating a lot of open fonts and I agree that most of them have flaws, especially when it comes to kerning. The exceptions are fonts that have been developed for and are used by very large organizations, such as Pub

Yes, I don't get it either.

I like that it's a single file executable. But Kamal offers much more, for eample zero-downtime deployment.

Awesome! How does it compare to RUM, another PostgreSQL extension solving a similar problem (make ranking fast by putting enough info in the index)?

Do you say that CHERI will be "as close to current performance as possible" with the same energy consumption?

Unlike C, Zig offers spatial memory safety, but it does not offer temporal memory safety.

Is there a good example of an open source code base written like this?

That's sad, because the language looks fantastic.

Glad to hear. I'll consider this more then.

What do you miss in F#?
102.
by ngrilly 2y ago
I'm wondering if the solution to my problem could be to start using F#, which seems to encourage a data-oriented style over an object-oriented style, while staying in the same C# and .Net ecosystem. F# has a concept of modules, holding

I don't see how "attaching" functions to types is easier than attaching them directly to namespaces. I don't see either why I would need to use reflection to iterate over all the functions and methods in a namespace, but

1) It's just a bit verbose. I think I just rewired my brain around a programming style that is not OOP anymore. 2) As I wrote in another comment, my editor supports hovering with the C# LSP, but after years of reading Python, Go, Rust,

I use VSCode with the C# LSP, but I prefer to immediately see where a name comes from by reading it, rather than hovering over it. That's why I prefer to avoid global. Regarding imports, I guess I could do something like `using c = my.

Yes, I'd like to be able to define functions directly under the namespace. In C#, it seems the only way to do this in to define a static method in a class, the class being part of a namespace.

Yes, that's that I meant.

I recently inherited a C# code base at work. I agree that C# is a powerful, productive, and mature language, but as someone who has been programming mainly in Go, Python, and a bit of Zig over the past few years, there are a few things that

I’ve learned programming with OOP in Turbo Pascal, C++ and Java. Switching to a different programming style, more data-oriented, using free-floating functions, in languages such as Python, Go, or more recently Zig, has been liberating. I ha

That's also how I tend to program after having read Joe Armstrong's dissertation "Making reliable distributed systems in the presence of sodware errors" and having programmned in Go for a few years.

Litestream replicates continuously. sqlite3_rsync takes a snapshot. How do you plan to use the latter?

Could it be a problem with a specific Python package being installed rather than uv itself?
115.
by ngrilly 2y ago
Agreed. But the problem is now fully solved by https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ .

Wondering about this as well :) That would be a game changer.

This is one of the worst article I read on this topic. The author is confusing the structure (pyramid versus network) with the type of leadership (authority versus direction and autonomy).

I'm only repeating what I read on SVT website (Swedish national public television): https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/northvolt-vill-betala-ut-... . All your points are addressed in the article.

I live in Sweden. Can you share a link? I bet that what you have in mind is the bonus that could be paid to about 230 employees, explicitly excluding the top management, in order to retain them. Or perhaps the news that the former CEO has s

Most of the money went into the pocket of extraordinary dedicated employees who were paid market salaries (actually often slightly below market), and suppliers as well.
