   I was taught IPv6 in the mid 2000s too, in Italy. But penetration there is just about 15% or so :/

   what exactly is your issue? I've been using rvm for a decade(?) without any major pain. Cross-language tools such as mise or asdf also seem to work ok. I can relate to the "I wish we didn't need a second tool", but it do

   They can't even monopolize the ai effort in their own org. There's a dozen google ai products that all compete with each other (ai studio, firebase studio, opal, Gemini etc). They have all the potential but have lost direction yea

   The problem is Tesla's valuation is overpriced even if they owned 100% of the car market, their P/E ratio is > 300. "But it's high margin", sure it is, but so is Ferrari, and their P/E is 30-40.

   I think musk's descent into politics also impacted the Tesla sales in Europe.

   "The market can remain irrational longer than you can stay solvent" applies here. Luckily I don't bet, I would have taken a huge short position and lost a bunch of money on Tesla years ago because they were already over value

   keep the rails as a state-owned monopoly, let different train operators run on it. Basically we have that for airplanes, and it works well enough.

   Or you could just have someone who could pass the exam in the same room as you. LLMs make this way easier but you can pay someone who gives private lessons in any subject and they can easily take an exam for you.

    ZJIT exists because it's a more traditional design and there's hope more people will have a easier time contributing[0]. Given that, it seems YJIT will become unnecessary if ZJIT succeeds. 0: https://railsatscale.com&#x

    I thought of Escher since tesselation is what he's famous for beyond impossible shapes (metamorphosis II [0] is among my favorite pieces of art). I definitely read less then 50% of GEB too, but I think I skipped to the Achilles and the

    There's an official format for defining types in separate files (RBS) and some tooling to type check them (matz doesn't like types next to the source code). There's a pretty battle tested tool to define inline types as ruby s

    Federation is good if you want to stay within a community but also have a chance to interact with others. I.e. you mostly care about technology foo but occasion delve into epic poetry, and it's nice to interact with both footech.social

    fun to read this in the context of the recent news that microsoft wants to port all their C/C++ to Rust in 5 years with "AI and algorithms"[0]. I'm sure the MS plan is not just asking Claude "port this code to rust:

    The problem is you would expect the option for "no insurance" to be separated from the rest or at least not be under the letter "d".

    the comment is wrong, what Gleam lacks is interfaces. Which feels super strange, but doesn't seem to really be a problem, e.g. imagine a language where you'd write fun sum_all_numbers(Iterable<T> it) { it.fold(...) } #
