Great vid! Thanks for sharing

I don't believe that, if that's what you're implying. I think the people who should "own" the conversation so-to-speak are people who have spent the most time doing AI research. A lot of the cultural understanding o

Lovely article! Reminds me a lot about how I came to programming and what drew me into it. A good read to explain that idea to any friends who might be interested

This is what we get for all the stupid fear-mongering done by people with no understanding of "AI". Pop scientists like Neil deGrasse Tyson and Elon Musk weighing in on a field with 0 overlap with their expertise is treated by the

I'm a big fan of literally sketching. One of my favorite things to do when approaching a hard programming problem is to enumerate a list of things I already know and then try to literally piece those together into an algorithm. I typ

>CV worthy programming languages. What do you mean by this? Like languages that are worth putting on your CV because recruiters or did I misunderstand?

What if another library uses v-if? Or there's no library loaded at all? What if I just wrote a new library that uses c-if? I imagine most IDEs approach this by looking at the string and trying to guess whether it's HTML code or no

This is such an apples-to-oranges comparison that I can't really see how you'd come to that conclusion unless you were already biased against Rust/LLVM/Firefox coming into it. Mozilla is against all browsers, i.e. every

At the end of the day, it's much more of a hack. The IDE having to guess at what the string does is ridiculous to me, and it's just a ton of extra work for the person who wrote the IDE for no real reason. And now if you want to em

Congrats to everyone who worked on this -- this is a great step forward for the Blender community as a whole! Andrew Price did a great set of videos on some of the changes in this release [1] for anyone who's interested in trying it ou

We absolutely do not know the dangers of vaping... what dangers exactly are there? Apart from increasing your heart rate it doesn't seem to be responsible for much harm at all.

Yep. All 3 of them

Most likely not. You could get away writing a lot of utility type functions between the two, but the libraries, async scene, module system, object system, etc. vary enough that it would be practically impossible to share any non-trivial pie

What is the typical use case of these numbers?

I would say it's a lot cleaner IMO. I much prefer function calls/constructors to HTML syntax, since it's so much more concise and readable if you indent properly.

Spot on. We experimented with a bunch of platforms for our app and ultimately settled on Flutter for this exact reason. Design is orders of magnitude simpler than in almost anything else. Working on a small team without a full-time designer

Even then it's miles away from Haskell. Kotlin is very close to Swift on the FP spectrum.

Abandoning something takes more work than using it, since it adds the cost of a rewrite. If Airbnb adopted framework X that wouldn't make me confident in framework X -- they haven't even used it yet! If they used it for a long tim

It was widely reported on afterwards. Look at the bottom of the article, they mention Nvidia's cover-up.

OCaml as a language is so close to a sweet spot between performance and ergonomics in my experience. I'm not sure if the Bucklescript compiler is generally running on Node or natively, but that could also be a big variable at play here

Where was it disproven? The article says that the research was controversial, not that it's false.

Agreed. He really is an inspiration. In jail he's spending his time reading and learning, which you can follow along with on his blog. He's a very intelligent guy and I think he's almost like an anti-hero who's bad at po

If you miss something, the language shouldn't let it compile. Obviously the more backwards compatibility a language desires, the less likely this is to happen.

Of course they're on the same page. They can afford the best lawyers and as much infrastructure as they need to fulfill the requirements, while every new competitor gets sued from all angles. I'd be very surprised if any of that r

AMD is launching 7nm soon on the TSMC process but I recall them saying that they intend to use GF as well within 6 months of launch. So it seems like GF 7nm may also beat Intel's 10nm to market.

At least where I live (and in most of the US from what I understand), it's almost exclusively based on property taxes. Quite obviously, areas with more rich people get more tax revenue and therefore better schools, even if the rich peo
