I feel a bit of the same when making UIs. If the UI is obviously bad/rushed then people will talk about the features more. If the UI is nice and polished, people will find their own one way to tell how it could have been 1% better.

The problem is that you work hard but for someone else, that doesn't care about your health. Your suffering is an externality to them.

> as in you run the bitmap through QOI and then compress that output with LZ4? Yes, it can be very beneficial.

Would be interesting to couple it with QOI, as QOI + LZ4 is very interesting as image format.

Because your average software company has power captured by management (instead of designers or producers), workers can't speak to users as they wish, making it a blind sprint into nothing, and the added value of making successful soft

Linux. It's very annoying to use, I encounter several UX problems anytime I have to use it, and very difficult to support as an application developer. It's good, but need more UX effort.

80-bit floating point have more special kinds of numbers: pseudo-subnormal, pseudo-NaNs, pseudo-infinities, and unnormals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_precision#Extended_pr...

Haven't got the book yet, but started using Wren. It's a nice language if you want scripting and OOP (though I haven't used Lua).

No absolutely not I'm not an investor. I guess with hindsight it is easier to see how bad it would be. In the microISV space, having expenses below revenue is the only way to go, so it all feels really remote.

Why investors take on bad deals like that?

I do exactly like this. Top task have a small minus sign "-" and bottom tasks get a little plus sign "+" (means: done).

This is how I do it, can't work without the external mouse, keyboard, and laptop stand. Haven't owned a desktop since 7 years.

Isn't Rust supposed to have incremental compilation?

I completely disagree.

Look at the top valuations, it's mostly rentier income.

Exactly I was thinking about the first one. The internet giants "reap where they never sowed".

Reading Smith has been eye-opening on how much different the moral landscape is nowadays. Making money without working was frought upon in Smith days, even called parasitic by "the inventor of liberalism", while nowadays it's

If you are after _weird_ Calc alternative for Windows, I use this one all the time: http://graindolium.paradisia.net/applicat/GrainCalcul.rar just because it lets you use the keyboard instead.

You can probably adapt an existing small language to your needs if those are custom needs.

Very happy with Cloudflare and honestly if they double their bill I'll just pay double, because it performs admirably imho.

Been parsing JSON at compile time with std.json for years, nothing ever broke. It wasn't even designed for this.

D is the power of lisp macros with a native language and without a compiler in its runtime library.

Such usability reports are super informative for when you want to make software usable.

It's not D that auto-vectorize such expression, it's the backend. Those "array ops" makes it easier for the compiler to convey that to the backend, though. Using LDC + arrays ops is often the best thing you can do speed-

by p0nce 5y ago
Yes it is useful, because "array ops" auto-vectorize well and you can write complex function that are vectorized. It's a bit like expression templates but with compiler support. Typically if something can be written as an ar
