The article is quite skeptical of Quaise: "While it is exciting to see the interest in geothermal, much of the effort leaves me skeptical. Quaise is staffed heavily by former Schlumberger employees. Schlumberger is known for being too

As an example of documentation at the same or better standard, also look at Racket. I'd say the python ecosystem is also really getting better at this in the past few years.

This is a good article. It covers a bunch of "ecosystem" stuff. At the same time I'd generally encourage a lot of developers using plain editors and modern, but not widely used languages, to give IDEs and common languages a t

Browser password managers are probably fine for most users, but 1password is really good for specific use cases 1password works across multiple OSes, works in other browsers, allows saving much more than just passwords (ssh key management,

I've found "Challenges Using Linux as a Real-Time Operating System" by Michael M. Madden from NASA a really big help - https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20200002390/downloads/20... .

It is indeed possible that there is a philosophical gulf. However, it is also possible that engineers who dislike Bazel (and love things like Make and CMake) haven't worked in large, multi-language organizations. I'm not aware of

Building something like this to work with existing code in compiled languages is REALLY HARD. However, take a look at rr and Pernos.co.

Both LISP and Smalltalk were entirely based around having this kind of hands-on, interactive, full development environment available not in prod as well. In some sense what you are doing was the future people thought we would have, and it i

I’m curious. Why not create a new google account that is not used for anything but Tailscale and use that?

I actually attempted some of 2021's Advent of Code in Koka. It was fun for the first couple of questions, but then got really painful for a couple of reasons. None of this is a complaint on the project, as it is still a research langua

I also created a minimal Ninja implementation in Rust some time ago. My goals were to implement it in terms of the Build Systems a la carte paper. Of course, hard to compete with the original ninja authors who obviously understand it much b

This is part of the general trend in robots summed up roughly like: 1. Corporations want to save money and are willing to spend up front for it. People will replace personal vehicles far more slowly. 2. A restricted environment is way easie

Exactly! I would love to own a simple compact car like the Honda Fit or similar with an electric drive train and without leather seats, fancy wheels and various electronic assistive driving features.

Thanks! However it requires Pharo 6.1, and Pharo is at v9 now.

I would also really like to use Pharo more. I tried it for Advent of Code last year [0]. However, I just can't get over the unmanageable custom windowing system going on within the main window. Their isn't an easy way to iterate t

How easy is it to use with random notes/apps on mobile? Some reasons I prefer a non-browser manager: - On Android/iOS, 1P will integrate with the system password manager APIs to sign in to apps - I can generate/store arbitrar

Agreed. The app stuff is nonsense. We have one of these and they could very well have used a small display or light patterns to indicate test progress and test results without a mobile phone.

Bought a netgear router and a tplink repeater within the last year. All the cloud account crap is only required to use the mobile apps. However they all offer web interfaces directly at their ip addresses. Just use that and bypass all the d

As Zababa said, it is more about how easy it is to write another implementation, because config files need to be read in another language than (Typescript in this case). The easier a config language (syntactically, but also in terms of capa

I’m not on board with using a language that only has a single implementation and is complex enough that implementing others is difficult. Please use a language designed for configuration, but still sane. There are several if we leave the JS

One of the authors (Vastraukas) was also an author on “ Using Lightweight Formal Methods to Validate a Key-Value Storage Node in Amazon S3” which seems relevant (Rust code base), but does not mention this tool. I wonder if there is any rela

I cobbled together something similar using a couple of javascript libraries. It is a really simple web-app that you can open on any phone, and it uses the phone camera to scan the barcode. It saves the results to a Google Sheets (what I wan

TheDispatch.com if you aren't already reading it. I agree with other posters that it is better to read news after it is no longer new. We should wait a few days to judge things so they have had a chance to settle in.

Whenever I read news about the kernel surfacing more traditionally OS level features to user space, I'm reminded of Stephen Kell's "Unix, Plan 9 and the Lurking Smalltalk"[1]. There are a lot of parallels between the Sma
