Yes of course but there are downsides to this too. Workers will certainly prioritize survival and stability, but sometimes at the expense of innovation, efficiency and growth. They do not really have an incentive for the company to do bette

A lot of the things the administration is doing seem a bit socialist because socialism has some overlap with populism. The main difference is that it is framed as Trump doing favours to certain groups of people, with expectation of reciproc

I get why they do it, they are a business. I just wish Google would get off their ivory tower and build in the open more like they used to (did they? maybe I'm misremembering...). They've acquired this bad habit of keeping all the

Not every culture has the same standards of politeness. I didn't think it was rude, I think it can be even respectful of their time and intelligence to be concise, plain and direct, as long as you are not literally attacking them. I me

There is a middle ground that is quite common across Europe: a private company that has the government as a shareholder. I think it is reasonable for subsidies to be structured just like private investments rather than a donation. The publi

I do think you are right, the concept is not common outside of the JS ecosystem to be fair. Indeed, it probably wouldn't make much sense to transpile in the first place, if it wasn't for these browser limitations. People would jus

Of course I'm aware of this, I've written some assembly too, most definitions are leaky. And if GNU assembly had wide adoption among programmers right now and an ecosystem around it, then some people might also call GCC a transpil

I don't understand what the issue is: a transpiler is a compiler that outputs in a language that human programmers use. It's good to be aware of that from an engineering standpoint, because the host language will have significantl

Indeed, even much earlier. With Steam Deck they achieved wider adoption but the first generation of Steam Machines came out in 2015 and they have been committed to the SteamOS linux distro since then.

It’s a fair point, that way of expressing it is always a bit confusing. Is it the original time plus 45%? Is it 45% of the original speed? I think it is easier to understand in terms of throughput. So 45% less work per unit of time, so 55%

I agree, I tried to switch to Zed this week, and I prefer it in all respects, but the tab model is much worse, and it made me switch back. I never imagined I would care so much about a feature I felt was secondary. I actually find myself us

Well yes of course, I just meant that them having voice transcription AI even in the 60s is not that unlikely, since they did a lot specifically in speech synthesis and audio analysis, besides everything else. I don't think they had it

I've been excited about Lean for years, not because of correctness guarantees, but because it opens the door to doing maths using software development methods. Libraries of theorems and mathematical objects, with well defined abstracti

A Forth-like command-line shell (bash replacement) does sound quite interesting actually, particularly if the stack is displayed on the side and is not implicit. It's rather concise, most functions tend to be a single short line. Its s

As I understand it systems programming is the priority application area for Rust, and there are plenty of projects working on OSs, embedded or other bare-metal cases, as well as interoperability with complex C codebases. At first glance, th

It is a fantastic explanation of the concept on its own, as a mathematical object, but I still struggle to understand its value as a practical primitive in programming.

No doubt, I am simply being pragmatic. I will keep hand-holding AI when needed, it is increasingly less needed, good. I am not a skeptic, I will keep using AI to the limits of its ability the whole way, but one quickly learns its limits whe

I like the "accept/undo" feature because it allows for much more granular control. You can accept some files or lines, and give feedback or intervene manually in other parts. I don't like building up technical debt by ac
