If they wanted a copyright free world maybe they should publish all their models as copyright free as well. But they are not doing it are they?

What about OpenAI and Meta? Are they going to face similar lawsuits?

Weird that there has been no significant adoption of Mojo. It has been quite some time since it got released and everyone is still using PyTorch. Maybe the license issue is a much bigger deal than people realize.

Maybe massive concurrency was not that big of a feature back then. But these days everyone wants to support a million connections at a time. Green threads and async tasks can do that without breaking a sweat, unlike OS threads. Also, Java v

It was supposed to bring massive concurrency to Python. But as with any async implantation in any language it is too easy to deadlock the entire system. Did you forgot to sprinkle enough `await`? Your code is blocked somewhere, good luck hu

Gevent is too underrated. Even if people don't like the monkey patching you can simply use the gevent namespace API as well. No idea why people prefer the absolute mess that is Python async ecosystem.

This is cool. Very similar to GPU programming. Write a kernel and pipe data from it.

Of course they do. For example C#, D, Nim etc all use stack allocation with their GC. Not to mention Rust also allocates dynamic objects on the heap. So not sure what is your point.

Both borrow checker and GC use malloc/free internally as well. According to you there is no difference between the two.

So you are talking about bugs that don't get caught in development? That happens in Rust as well. Borrow checker does not catch every bug or error. A random module you are using could throw a panic and you would not know with Rust (or

Like writing only in assembly is "proper" programming? Using more memory and CPU time than necessary for convenience?

"I don't care what fails" means not catching any exception/error. My comment was the exact opposite of the idea. Top level function will bubble up every exception, no matter how deep or from which module.

You can't pipe any media files from any origin to GitHub Pages. There are many free static site hosts but not many free CDN.

They are just greedy. And they know nobody can compete with them for availability in every country. Except for Cloudflare, which is why it is so popular.

Or catch the top level function and see every exception in your project? Tell me which language does not have a top level main function?

That is akin to saying using a GC is giving up on safe memory allocation, and the borrow checker is the only solution to a complex problem. Exceptions are handled gracefully in real world projects as well, otherwise Python, Java etc would h

A lot of things are broken in C++. Like coroutines, exceptions, parallel execution (std::execution) etc. That does not mean the core ideas are bad and we should stop using them in every language.

I remember people being so excited to use error values instead of exceptions in mainstream languages. But this libraries plus error values combo looks even more complex to me.

It is a big problem. There is no good alternative to Cloudflare as a free CDN. They put servers all over the world and they are giving them away for free. And making their money on premium serverless services. Not to mention the big cloud p

Even if you write the best backend in the world where do you host them? AFAIK Cloudflare is the only free CDN.

1 TB per month of data is literally nothing. A kid could rent a VPS for an hour and drain all that. What do you do after that? AWS is not going to stop your bill going up is it? I don't care about any of those fancy serverless services

Bankruptcy as a surprise gift is not an alternative. Even those that use big cloud providers like AWS and GCP use CDNs like Cloudflare to protect themselves. And there is no free CDN like Cloudflare.

IMO NodeJS popularity was expected. After all these years you still can't use anything other than JS on the frontend (WASM is still too green). So if you are going to master a language you might as well use it in the backend too.

Watching Python's rise has been a little wild. At first it was neck to neck with Perl and with Ruby after that. But then again nobody really expected AI to be this wildly popular.

Usually when countries block websites they don't block major cloud providers, like AWS and Google Cloud. Because most websites are hosted on them. So you can get a cheap VPS from AWS or GCP (always free VM is available) and host OpenVP

How is that possible? Even if the chip did not get enough cooling it should have been just throttled heavily.

I have used many of them. Some of them are easier to use but all of them were useful at some place and time. I still don't understand how anyone can hate a tool. Dislike maybe, but some people really hate some tools with a passion.
