Export a requirements.txt from UV and analyze that?

I can’t see teams adopting Unison (or similar languages) without a way to store code in Git. Maybe the editor can load text and do structured editing. Maybe the runtime can send functions across the network. Great. But not using Git for sto

Companies prefer growing revenue to cutting costs typically. Don’t will depend if there are many projects with a good outlook sitting around.

The git model is great but the interface is not carefully designed. I think if the interface were better, fewer people would be copy pasting git commands.

You can require less code by using a more expressive programming language.

For images and other media, yes. Does it look right? Program correctness is incredibly difficult - arguably the biggest problem in the industry.

The commits are revealing. Look at this one: > Ask Claude to remove the "backup" encryption key. Clearly it is still important to security-review Claude's code! > prompt: I noticed you are storing a "backup" o

I tried Copilot many times and found it lacking. I like discussing concepts (maybe with pseudocode) with Gemini. I find this useful but not game changing. So genuine question for AI Boosters, what should I be using? I would like the 10x p

It can give back code though. It might be wrong, but it won’t be ambiguous.

If you give an LLM the data in the prompt and then ask it to extract information from that data it does pretty well. This is the premise of RAG. Where LLMs do poorly is when you ask it for information you haven’t given it.

Go to a local art college and put up a flyer: Paid gig. Ask applicants for a sample of past work. Meet the best for coffee.

I somewhat agree. Good game design requires a great idea, but more than that a lot of iteration. If you are working solo you need to hold the implementation and design in your head, which is incredibly difficult. Iteration is slow. You need

The best interiors feel lived in but not stuffy. A few old pieces of furniture can help achieve that. Part of the skill of interior design is making these pieces work together in new ways. You don’t want your home to feel like an ikea catal

In Java you can write multiline anonymous functions and in Python you can’t (well, not in a reasonable way). Java has immutable bindings with the final keyword. Java variables are lexically scoped, which discourages mutation of globals.

This is true but what’s odd is that Java has better functional programming support than Python.

F# is strictly better than C# if (huge if) you have a team that knows both languages.

What this skips over is that some languages are better than all others in a domain, sometimes multiple domains. And also some languages are not best in class in any domain. Would you pick Brainfuck over Java for anything (real)?

If you like the exploration type stuff, maybe try the Van Rijn series. It’s loosely based on Dutch merchants but in a sci fi setting. Some interesting discussion of capitalism, trade and exploitation too. It is also very much of its time.

In defense of R the class systems do have different characteristics and they are not deeply embedded in the language or anything.
