Looking at a lot of nix package expression: Quite a bit. Besides, just taking a way a single brace gives 7 hits. Still a ridiculous level of nesting. So I don't go with your reasoning that these are some kind of super special cases. If

I indeed searched for the longest chain. Something that happens in 4.5k lines twice is hardly rare. And even if you take away a brace it occurs even more frequently. And yes your example is better, but still terrible. The point is not the f

I mean it's pretty wild to take s-expressions and not call them extremely terrible to read. The nix language sucks really badly, but I gladly take it over writing S-expressions.

I think we might be talking past each other a bit. The specific claim I was responding to was that all of uv’s performance improvements come from algorithms rather than the language. My point was just that this is a stronger claim than what

I don't think the article has substantive numbers. You'd have to re-implement UV in python to do that. I don't think anyone did that. It would be interesting at least to see how much UV spends in syscalls vs PIP and make a re

Yes exactly! That quote directly disproves that all of the improvements UV has over competitors is because of algos, not because of rust. So the claim is not well supported at all by the article as you stated, in fact the claim is literally

I don't think the article you linked supports the claim that none of UV performance improvements are related to using rust over python at all. In fact it directly states the exact opposite. They have an entire section dedicated to why

That's a pretty big claim. I don't doubt that a lot of uv's benefits are algo. But everything? Considering that running non IO-bound native code should be an order of magnitude faster than python.

Young is relative. To an 80 year old someone who is 40 is young. To an 8 year old someone who is 20 is old.

The point is you just need to scrutinize the theorem. Not easy either, but still significantly less work than writing the proof.

This. Almost all languages can at least call into c. Which should allow you to do whatever you want.

I disagree to some degree. Tests have value even beyond whether they test the right thing. At the very least they show something worked and now doesnt work or vice versa. That has value in itself.

I disagree. You simply increase the supply of labour by double digit percentage points. Thinking this will not affect the price, all else being equal, is magical thinking.

Well the first naturally led to the other. So you can distinguish them, but they are not separate.

Just thinking out loud here, perhaps behavior like this has been more normalized because of the total shitshow that C is. Which followed all these supposedly correct rules.

I don't understand this comment. In everything it does this is a MacBook, not an iPad. It doesnt have a touch screen. It has a fixed keyboard.

Is there anything truly low latency(sub 100ms)? Speech recognition is so cool but I want it to be low latency.

This was not undergraduate math in my case, but I still don't agree. I don't think anyone of average intelligence can excel at undergraduate math. It of course depends on the degree and the school. Can anyone with average intellig

I seriously doubt a person with average intellect can become a world class mathematician, let alone a decent one. Just on grid. I have seen people in college that were tremendously hard working fail math classes and just not understand it.

Well if there are plenty of posters then it should be easy to give me 5 comments of different people where it's clear they believe Tesla R&D is a solo Elon Musk operation. I'm not holding my breath though.
